Mae Mai and her five week old baby Wan Mai were rescued from an elephant trekking camp in Chiang Mai on June 7th 2020. Prior to her rescue Mae Mai was forced to provide rides to tourists at a
Our founder visited the camp and found Mae Mai and Wan Mai living in dreadful conditions. Mae Mai was on an extremely short chain in a tiny concrete pen without adequate space to care for her newborn baby or access to sufficient food and water.
Since arriving at ENP, many of our resident elephants have approached Mae Mai and Wan Mai trying their best to befriend the mother and become the new nanny to the little girl. Eventually, Mae Mai selected our beautiful gentle giant, Sri Nuan as the nanny of Wan Mai.
Mae Mai, Wan Mai & Sri Nuan are now inseparable, with mother and nanny sharing the responsibilities of caring for the adorable and playful Wan Mai.
