🐘💛 Introducing the newest member of our MandaLao family — Mae Mon!

From formerly working as a bathing tourist elephant, to most recently logging, and now to retirement — thank you to everyone who helped make her journey to her now forever home possible!

On her last day of logging work, our team was there to meet her and celebrate with lots of tasty pineapples. We quickly removed her logging harness for good, and upon arrival at MandaLao, our staff and community welcomed her home with a traditional Baci ceremony.

Our team has been so impressed by her calm personality and she's integrating into her new routine seamlessly!

Thank you again to Planting Peace and everyone who made this possible. We will now care for Mae Mon for the rest of her retired life here at MandaLao. You can help support her ongoing care by making a donation at:

Thank you all for your continued support and we hope you will continue to follow Mae Mon as she settles into retired life!

Khammon's version of a water slide! 🐘💦

Watch her tuck those back knees and go! It's not clumsiness - it is elephant physics. At roughly 3,000kg, sliding downhill is actually easier on her joints than a controlled walk, especially on slick mud. Their broad feet and low center of gravity make them surprisingly graceful sliders!

For a rescued elephant like Khammon (Joy), moments like this are everything. Sliding, splashing, and rolling are some of the clearest signs of physical and emotional recovery in elephants who've been through hard lives. A relaxed elephant is a playful elephant!

🐘💦 This is Mae Kham's River! Some elephants wade in. Mae Kham loves to splash all the way in! But it wasn't always this way. Before her rescue in February 2025, she worked as a bathing elephant at a tourist camp. What guests never knew: Mae Kham is blind and deaf on her right side. Anyone approaching from that side appeared out of nowhere - frightening for her, dangerous for them. It's one of the many reasons we don't promote elephant bathing in tourism.

Today, it's just Mae Kham, the river, and her best friend Khammon (Joy), and free to splash as long as she likes! 💛

🐘 BIG NEWS coming in just a few hours! We're partnering with Planting Peace to launch a fundraiser that could change one elephant's life forever!

She's spent her days hauling logs. Tired. Overworked. But that's about to change.

Together, we're raising funds to bring her to her forever home where she'll never carry a log again. No chains. No labor. Just rest, real freedom, and a herd to call family.

⏰ Fundraiser launches in a few hours.... stay tuned!

Her retirement starts with us! ❤️🐘

Rainy days won't stop Mae Kham from enjoying her forest mud spa! In fact, more rain = more mud! All the better to protect her from those pesky insects, or act as a sunscreen whenever the sun decides to shine again!
