FahMui has left us
In her memory, we say, rest in peace FahMui – leave behind the painful past for a world of tranquility. We are grateful for the opportunity to have shared love and care with you. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Kanjana was found trapped in a pit during the fire season. She was just a baby and had fallen into it, breaking her ankle and her legs were badly burned from coals that had collected in the hole. Locals heard her cries and pulled her out. Her family was never found and she eventually became a logging elephant in the Pai area, until the days of trekking began. Her early injuries did not make her a good candidate for either logging or service riding, and we took her away from all of that.
Beautiful story from our Founder – Saengduean Lek Chailert: In July of this year we rescued FahMui from southern Thailand, and a week later we rescued Kanjana who came from Pai. They were introduced on arrival, and an unexpected deep bond readily formed between them, so much so that they sheltered together right from the start. It seems likely that Fahmui became the mother who Kanjana never had.
Newly rescued FahMui is slowly realising the freedom and making friends in the sanctuary of Elephant Nature Park. From our founder, Lek Chailert: FahMui is friendly enough and still looking to find new friends. So far, she has a kinship with Kanjana, and they while away the day eating in the shade of a giant tree.
Update from Lek on FahMui and Kanjana, the latest Save Elephant Foundation rescued elephants, now living in the sanctuary of Elephant Nature Park. As we believe that elephants belong to the herd, when we have new arrival we slowly introduce them to potential friends. FahMui and Kanjana have their sleeping shelters across the river, they already get along well.
FahMui rescue story from our founder, Lek Chailert :
For every one of Save Elephant Foundation elephant rescues, we do not use a delivery service, so we personally ensure that our new elephant has a comfortable and safe journey by renting a truck and collecting the elephant.
