Pornsawan

Porn Sawan was born around 1994. Her name means ‘Blessing from heaven’. She was rescued in August 2011 from illegal logging. Porn Sawan finally arrived to ENP in early June 2014.

Porn Sawan had finished her day’s work and was in the forest foraging for food when she stepped on a landmine. She was working in a very remote area and it took her and the mahout many days to get to an area with a main road where a truck could meet them to transport her to a hospital. She stayed at the Thai Elephant Conservation Center government hospital for three years while she recovered.

Now settled in at ENP, Porn Sawan is number one nanny to Yindee and enjoys the company of her other herd mates. She is fiercely protective of Yindee and very devoted to her new found friends. She gets around very well despite her injury and has a long life of happiness ahead.
