Peaceful snacking with Pyi Mai 🐘

You can feel the calming energy of Elephant Nature Park through this video. What a wonderful life Lek has given the rescued herd. Watching them live free of stress and fear empowers us to continue fighting for a better future for all elephants.

This hilarious video deserves a #ThrowbackThursday! 😆💦🐘

Back when baby Pyi Mai and Chaba were so small they were extremely excited to find a broken water pipe to play in. Pyi Mai obviously had some other plans so make sure to watch to the end for her surprise! 🫣🤣

Kham Paeng’s mud spa technique is quite impressive! 💦

Watch as she finds a wet patch of mud that’s consistency is perfect for her to spray on to her body. We could truly observe elephants all day! It’s so fascinating to watch how they interact with the world around them. 🐘

Happy #ElephantAppreciationDay!

It’s fascinating to watch the relationship between the different species of rescued animals at ENP. Usually things remain peaceful, but on occasion, Hom Nuan has been known to claim her space from the cows and make it known that she is the boss. Nature’s balance is full wonders!

A beautiful sunset over the ENP river 🌅

How majestic are these two beautiful ladies?! We never get tired of watching the Kham La herd coming down from the skywalk every evening.

A truly magical experience to witness. 🐘✨

Thong Ae’s beautiful clear eyes! 👁️

[Trunks Up @jointrunksup]

Fah Mai looks so pleased with her afternoon mud bath! 🐘

Her and Thong Ae’s happy flapping ears brings us so much joy! Although elephants flap their ears to help with bothersome bugs, it’s also a strong sign of inner happiness and comfortability. ♥️

Wan Mai's beautiful family playing together in the river! 🌊

Towards the end of the video, after Mae Mai plays along and dunks her full body in, Sri Nuan shares a playful spray with her loving family. So beautiful to see! ♥️ #elephantrescue #elephantnaturepark #thailand

[Trunks Up @jointrunksup]

Wan Mai is the Queen of the Rock! 👑

Being mischievous is a good sign of intelligence, so we can definitely say that Wan Mai is a very smart girl! Climbing up to the top, she discovered what it’s like to be taller than her mom. Listen to her adorable squeaks!

Tang Mo’s beautiful transformation! ✨

A peaceful evening with Grandma Sopa 🐘
Using her trunk to scope out what’s around her, Sopa takes in her calm surroundings as she relaxes in the water for one last bath before bedtime. You can become Sopa’s foster parent to help support her here: https://t.co/BRPd8GBjIV

[Trunks Up @jointrunksup]

Listen to the conversation between Fah Mai, Thong Ae and Jenny as they shelter and keep her close to the herd. ♥️🐘🐘🐘

These girls have a lot to say on this beautiful day at ENP! They are so thankful for all that Lek has done for them. She is a true hero to all of us!
