We would like to offer our support to Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary - Thailand . They have recently been hit by flooding. Luckily the elephants are safe and well, but the foundation and community has sustained damage and they lost a lot. We wish you all the power to grow back stronger.

Khun has been with us since the 23rd of January 2025.

She was rescued from a trekking camp in Pattaya.

During her beginning days, she was very unpredictable. She would run all of the sudden and even chased one of our mahouts.
Nowadays, Khun is much calmer and everyone is more comfortable around her. She gets along with Kham Phaeng well, but Khun has a dominant personality. This means she wants to dominate Kammoon, who has always been the most dominant of our elephants. She spends a lot of time in Kammoon's area, just letting her know she is present. We hope one day they can accept each other and come to an agreement, and Khun can go back to just being Kham Phaeng's friend.

Health wise Khun is doing very well. We have had a vet here to check our elephants eyes and they have informed us that Khun can not see in the dark.

As you can see in this photo, Khun adores mud baths and has her favourite tree to lean on.
