As FaaMai grew, the tradition continued and the melodies took on new meaning. Although the lullabies may not serve the same purpose as before, they still bring immense joy to both FaaMai and Lek and continue to strengthen the profound bond they share.

She is often the critical link of fostering positive bonds between disparate groups of elephants. In this video, FaaMai can be seen bringing several groups together for a joint introduction. Unlike many videos captured by the Save Elephant Foundation Media Team, in which we hear loud conversations and other background sounds, this very natural and peaceful video captures the tranquil atmosphere of the elephant sanctuary.

Whenever the opportunity arises, FaaMai will join with MaeLanna, and SaoYai at the end of the day. FaaMai is a friendly soul, and always non-threatening to whomever she comes into contact - our true elephant Ambassador - whereas SaoYai can be a more challenging subject when it comes to interpersonal relations. But look how these 3 enjoy each other's company ! They are quite fond of each other, fully content with their time together in the river at Elephant Nature Park.
