Bhan Yen

Baan Yen was born around 1950. Her name means ‘Four O’Clock Flower’. She started her working life as a logging elephant and was finally rescued after two decades  giving rides to tourists in a trekking camp. Baan Yen arrived at ENP in January 2014. She was thin and had many abscesses. With good care, it did not take her long to recover and gain weight and energy. After a few months she met another newly rescued elephant named Jaem Sai who has since became her best friend. Baan Yen and Jaem Sai spend their days taking leisurely walks on the SEF’s Pamper a Pachyderm program.
