Mae Kham Paan

Mae Kham Paan was born around 1940. Like most elephants, ‘Mother One Thousand Gold’ was rescued from a life of logging and trekking. She arrived to ENP in 2009, very thin with her ribs showing.  Despite a very long working life, she has few scars, no broken bones and still has sight in both her eyes. One year after her arrival, she had gained a significant amount of weight and is now confident and energetic. Though solitary for many years, Mae Kham Paan is now primary gran-nanny of Navann, helping Sri Prae and the two other gran-nannies Mae Bua Kham and Mae Tubtim give him all the attention and care he requires.
