Young at Heart: Yai Bua

Yai Bua is from Pattaya where she worked at a trekking camp where she worked all day every day giving rides to tourists.   She is very old and has had 5 babies in her lifetime, unfortunately she has lost each one due to a variety of circumstances from her previous life.  Elephant Nature Park rescued her in February of 2016  and she has befriended another newer arrival to the park, Sri Pai, who also came from a life of human service.  They enjoy long walks around the property and across the river together in freedom.
