Ms Jain’s friend, Taha Ismail, managed to capture the moment that an elephant gently woke Ms Jain on video.
She described the experience as “something different” in a post on the social media platform, adding: “This resort in Chiang Mai, Thailand has elephants waking you up instead of the reception call or your alarms.”
The caption continued: “When I felt that air blow from her trunk. Wake up call from this cutie.”
Since first being shared, the post has proved to be very popular and has so far accumulated over 2.8 million likes, with users flooding the comment section with love for both the clip and the elephant.
It’s not the first time a tourist has been surprised by wildlife on holiday. In 2019, a mynah bird was found on board a flight from Singapore to the UK.
The bird, which is native to southern Asia, was discovered in business class around 12 hours into the 14-hour-long Singapore Airlines flight to London.
