Mae Kham Puan

Meaning ‘Mother Golden Bell’, Mae Kham Puan was born around 1965 . She was rescued and brought to ENP in December 2010. Mae Kham Puan is 90% blind from injuries inflicted upon her while working as an illegal logging elephant in Tak province. When her job performance faltered, she was sold into a life of trekking. However, when tourists complained that they felt uncomfortable riding her because of her blindness, her owner decided to sell her to ENP. She is quite confident and loves spending time in the river, especially with her best friends Tilly and Thai Koon.
