๐ŸŒžToday was HOT during the day, the nights are still cool.

Mae Kam and Mae Dok took a lovely stroll, quite far today and decided to take a long dip in the river. ๐Ÿ๏ธ

They had a wonderful time rolling all around, throwing water with their trunks. Mae Kam looks like she has a huge grin on her face. ๐Ÿ˜

Itโ€™s so lovely to see the girls enjoying a splash. โค๏ธ

Our beautiful Mae Kam has been receiving daily treatment this week after she got an ouchy ๐Ÿฅด on her private part, this can occur after they scratch a little too hard or an insect stings them leading to inflammation and itching.

Thankfully, she is responding well to treatments and look how happy she looks today ๐Ÿ˜

Happy Friday BEES Friends ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ˜

Our precious Grandma Thong Dee is really feeling the cold. Each night during the cold season our staff work in rotation to build a warm bonfire ๐Ÿ”ฅ by her shelter, so she can keep warm and cozy on these very cold wintery nights ๐Ÿฅถ it was 13โ€™C Overnight here.

Many of you will ask, does she have a winter jacket? We have offered her many jackets, but she mostly keeps warm by destroying them. ๐Ÿคญ

Love is ๐Ÿ’ A beautiful and tender moment between retired elephants Mae Kam and Mae Dok.

It is so beautiful to watch elephants interact with each other and the environment around them. Their trunks intertwining is a form of tactile communication, allowing them to offer comfort and reassurance to one another after momentarily getting separated while foraging in the forest๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ˜

The tractor has been in today to fluff up the elephant sand and dirt beds, for comfy sleeping. Now that the winter season is upon us and the nights are chilly we are particularly concerned about comfort for our beautiful ladies.

10 YEARS AGO this gorgeous girl Thong Dee arrived at BEES with her best friend Boon Yuen to live out her days in retirement.

Our sweet Grandma has surprised us all yet again with her strength and resilience. Itโ€™s always bitter sweet when we reach the 22nd November each year, the blessing our sweet Thong Dee is still here but the heart ache as we miss Boon Yuen so very much.

Join us as we celebrate 10 AMAZING Years of Thong Dee at BEES ๐ŸŽ‰โœจโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽ

Our darling Grandma Thong Dee sometimes doesnโ€™t lay down to sleep at night as her sore old body can make it hard for her to rise again. After we noticed she had not laid to sleep for a few nights, (no sleep markings) we fluffed up her bedding extra nice for her and were so pleased to capture this beautiful clip of our sweet old girl laying down to rest. Brought tears ๐ŸฅนShe is so incredibly precious!

Our Sweet old Grandma Elephant Thong Dee having a sand bath. She had just had her special diet salad and a refreshing bath as well as getting her treatments and medicine. She is very old and frail now. Its beautiful to see her having a sand bath, although very tired. She stood in the field 'nana napping' for about 10 minutes after this video. #ElephantWelfare #AmazingMoments #ElephantCare #SanctuaryLife #ElephantsBeingElephants #ThongDeeAtBEES #ObservationBasedTourism #BookAStayAtBEES #ElephantFriendly #beeselephantsanctuary

Three legged rescue dog Madam was quietly sitting in the sand when Mae Dok and Mae Kam decided to have a sand bath. Usually these two mischievous ladies would chase dogs and flick at them with their trunks, but it seems they know Madam is disadvantaged and are more gentle towards her ๐Ÿ˜ Follow our Rescue Cats and Dogs on BEARS - Animal Rescue and Shelter page. #Elephants #EthicalElephantExperience #ObservationBasedTourism #ElephantCare #ElephantFriendly #RespectElephants #ElephantObservation #RainySeason #Sanctuary #ElephantWelfare #NaturalBehavior #ResponsibleTourism #EthicalTourism #LoveRespectProtect #ElephantLovers #MaeDokTheElephant #ElephantsBeingElephants #BEESElephants #ElephantFriendlyTourism #NatureAndElephants #MaeKamTheElephant #BookAStayAtBEES #DogRescue #LoveAnimals

A Sanctuary For Elephants and A Small Animal Rescue

A safe natural home for rescued and retired elephants. NO RIDES, NO TRICKS - Just Elephants Being Elephants.

BEES was established to provide a place of rest/care under contract with the hopes of permanent retirement and to rescue and provide a forever home to elephants and animals in need.

Thailand has over 4000 Captive Elephants, many of which are working as entertainers and trekking elephants being ridden and exploited because their mahouts and owners rely on the income.

Help us lead by example, through education and providing alternative solutions that meet the needs of the elephants and the people that work with them. Giving the elephants a better life and ensuring the people that rely on the elephants for income can still provide for their families needs.
