Jaem Sai heads over to the hanging tire and gives it some well timed side-kicks and whacks with her trunk! Despite her one blind eye, she's still able to confidently navigate her world and judge distance well. Her spirit shines as brightly as does her best friend, Medo’s.

Chompu and MuayLek embraced and protected by a true family

Tell me which you deem preferable, and then I will know the future of captive elephants. Is it a life lived in fear, under a hook with fear of pain, to instill behaviors that are ignoble and unnatural ? Is this what the tourist wants ? It is time to take responsibility for our actions as a tourist, and generally, as a species. Educate ourselves in the conditions prevalent for our enjoyment ! Are we entertained by suffering ?!

MuayLek is now enjoying the river at Elephant Nature Park with many friends

MuayLek and FaaMai spend a lot of time with the ThongAe family. They have so much fun together. Even after a rain, they go to play in the river.

MuayLek is seeking as to with whom she feels most at home, but she will likely learn from FaaMai, as did ThongAe, that it's possible to be friends with many at Elephant Nature Park.
