Boo Jhan takes advantage of a natural mud pit deep in the jungle, flinging the thick slurry over her body.

Boo Jhan, now in her 50s, embraces the simple pleasures in life. Since being rescued in 2016, her life has changed drastically from the many hard years she spent working in logging and elephant riding. Even so, it took time for her to adjust to her new home, but she has since developed a close bond with the herd at Journey to Freedom and loves her role as a grand nanny to the younger elephants, Gee Lee and Buay. She’s fortunate to spend her days wandering and foraging in her peaceful forest home with her adopted elephant family.

Get to know Boo Jhan and the rest of the friendly herd at Journey to Freedom by volunteering for a week at this remote ethical elephant volunteer project @ www.asianelephantprojects.com/journey-to-freedom

We are so sad to pass on the news that beautiful senior elephant, SaiThong from Care for Elephants, passed away yesterday. Thank you to project owner, Ben, for rescuing SaiThong and caring for her with love and devotion over the past six years. Thank you to everyone who visited SaiThong, and supported her throughout her time at Care for Elephants. SaiThong’s life touched many people from around the world who had the privilege of meeting her. You will forever be remembered in our hearts, gentle SaiThong. ❤️

Repost from Care for Elephants

Dear all,
I am deeply saddened to inform you that our beloved elephant SaiThong from the Care for Elephants project passed away peacefully at 12:40 PM on September 6, 2024.

SaiThong started showing signs of illness on September 2, 2024, but continued to eat and remained cheerful. By September 3, she slowed down and her bowel movements decreased. However, on September 4, she stopped eating, and her condition worsened until she peacefully passed away on September 6. Despite the best efforts of our veterinary team, she could not be saved.

SaiThong was a senior elephant who had spent much of her life working in logging and trekking. I first met her at an elephant trekking camp, and in 2018, we brought her to the Care for Elephants project, where she was showered with love, respect, and proper care. She was cherished by everyone, especially her close friends, MaeDok and ThadDao.

I would like to thank Saengduean Lek Chailert, who has always supported us and served as an inspiration for compassionate elephant care. I also extend my gratitude to the veterinary team and Elephant Nature Park for their continued assistance, and to everyone who has supported the Care for Elephants project.

SaiThong will forever remain in our hearts. I will always remember how she loved to be hand-fed rice balls, and her gentle, grandmotherly demeanor. Though we are grieving today, we will continue to work harder to ensure a better life for all elephants. This is our promise.

With respect,
Ben

Asian Elephant Projects

Asian Elephant Projects was created out of a desire to improve the living conditions for Asian elephants involved in the tourist industry. We are dedicated to helping small, independent elephant tourism operators transition to ethical and sustainable programs which provide a better life for their elephants. By joining these projects, elephant owners agree to adhere to a comprehensive set of guidelines designed to ensure the welfare of the elephants in their care. In return, we provide knowledge and resources in support of these projects so that they generate a reliable income for elephant owners and benefit local communities.

We offer a range of ethical elephant tours in Thailand as well as in Cambodia. Guests join a small group for an unforgettable, intimate adventure observing elephants in beautiful natural surroundings. Watch elephants play, socialize, and forage in the jungle. The activities offered are sympathetic to natural elephant behavior - feed the elephants, walk with them in nature, bathe them, and watch them play in the mud. Our projects provide a home for elephants where they are well cared for and freed from an arduous life of elephant riding, performing tricks, and other unnatural behavior. Over 25 independent ‘Saddle Off’ projects are now providing a better life for these gentle giants.

The geographical locations of the projects include jungles, mountains and plains that change throughout the seasons. Available tours vary from challenging mountain jungle treks on foot with the elephants with white water rafting, to picturesque walks with the elephants at a comfortable pace, stopping along the way to watch the elephants forage on native plants.

Most of the projects offered have herds of 3 to 7 elephants, and limit guest numbers to 3 or 4 people per elephant. This helps to create a non-stressful environment for the elephants as well as a more intimate experience for our guests. The owners and staff at our projects share a commitment to the well-being of the elephants and to providing visitors with a safe and memorable experience.
