🐘💚 𝗠𝗔𝗘 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗡 𝗟𝗔𝗜 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗟𝗠 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗘! 🌴

Watch our beautiful Mae Boon Lai — all 4,000kg of her — stretch skyward to claim one of her absolute favourite treats: fresh palm fronds. With one expert sweep of her trunk, she pulls the frond down and strips the leaves clean off the stem. Years of practice, perfected!

That's an oil palm she's raiding — grown all across southern Thailand and reaching up to 20 metres tall, with fronds 3 to 5 metres long. Luckily for Mae Boon Lai, the youngest, juiciest leaves hang just within trunk range. 😄

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵?

🌿 𝗙𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗲, 𝗳𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗲, 𝗳𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗲 — eating up to 180kg a day, elephants are hindgut fermenters who need huge amounts of coarse roughage to keep digestion moving

💧 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — fresh fronds hold water in their stems and leaflets, a bonus drink in the tropical heat

⚡ 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 — the thick stems carry plant sugars, calcium and potassium that help power a 4,000kg body

🦷 𝗗𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲, 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 — elephants grow six sets of molars in a lifetime, and chewing tough fibrous fronds wears them down naturally and evenly

🧠 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗸 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁 — stripping leaflets from long fronds is exactly what wild elephants do all day; it's mental stimulation and trunk coordination in one

After decades working in riding and circus shows, Mae Boon Lai — our "Mother of Many Blessings" — now spends her days foraging exactly as nature intended. Every stretch, every strip, every mouthful is her choice. 💚

🐘💚 𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗨𝗕 𝗧𝗜𝗠: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗣𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗. 💎

Her name means "Ruby" in Thai — a precious gem. But for over a year, Tub Tim sat unwanted, up for sale, passed over again and again.

This is her story.

Born in the wild around the late 1990s, Tub Tim roamed free in the forests of Tak province on Thailand's northern border — until she was illegally taken from the forest as a young elephant and put to work in the logging industry. A brutal transition from freedom to slavery.

Years later, she was sold south to an elephant riding camp in Phang Nga, just north of Phuket. But the owner quickly discovered her independent wild streak — Tub Tim was labelled "disobedient" and unsuitable for riding. She was put up for sale, where she sat unwanted for more than a year.

Last December, we heard about Tub Tim's plight and went to investigate. The whole reason for creating PENR is to help elephants exactly like Tub Tim, so we acted. We rescued her and brought her on the three-hour journey to her new forever home at PENR. She arrived skinny and anxious — but settled in faster than we ever dared hope. Eight months on, she's a healthy 3,000kg and that wild spirit is gloriously intact.

Here's what everyone missed: Tub Tim was never a disobedient elephant. She was a wild-born, intelligent, strong-willed elephant resisting a life she never chose. What they called defiance, we call spirit. 💚

🐘 She still doesn't like being told what to do (and never has to again)

🌪️ She sometimes charges around the sanctuary trumpeting at full volume — a glimpse of the wild elephant she was born to be!

💛 She chooses her friendships carefully, spending quiet days eating and relaxing beside our serene Bow and sometimes Thonglor. Two calm elephants who don't stress her out.

🌽 And her favourite thing in the world? Eating! Sweet corn above all.

The elephant nobody wanted just needed somewhere that let her be herself. 💚

🐘💚 𝗔𝗕𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘 𝗣𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞-𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗦!! 😌

Look at the joy on those faces! Thonglor and Tub Tim put on quite a show for our visitors recently, demonstrating their finest scratching technique.

Thonglor found the dry edge of the mud spa and settled in for a proper bottom-pampering session, while Tub Tim — not one to be left out — worked away against a nearby tree. 😄

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵:

Elephants cannot sweat. Not a single sweat gland on their entire body — so everything they do to stay cool and protected, they have to do for themselves.

🌿 𝗠𝘂𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 — shielding sensitive skin from tropical sun
🦟 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 — a thick layer stops biting bugs
💧 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻 — wet mud holds moisture against the skin
🩹 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗶𝗱 — mud soothes small cuts and scrapes

Here's the clever part: those deep wrinkles you see aren't just age. They're engineering. Elephant skin traps up to ten times more moisture than smooth skin would — so every crack and fold works as a tiny reservoir, keeping them cool long after the mud dries.

And the tree scratching? That removes dead skin, reaches the itches a trunk simply can't, leaves their scent behind for the others — and, quite honestly, just feels wonderful. 🌳

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀:

Both of these girls came from riding venues. Years of work, chains and no say in anything. A mud spa on a whim? A favourite scratching tree? Simply not possible.

Today they can. Whenever they like, for as long as they like, entirely on their own terms. 💚

That's what freedom actually looks like — not dramatic, just an elephant having a really good scratch.

🐘💚 "𝗔 𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗛𝗢𝗣𝗘, 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡, 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗗 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗦." 🙏

Sometimes a visitor writes something that stops us in our tracks. This week, one review did exactly that — and we read it aloud to our whole team.

Here is some of what they wrote:

"𝙒𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙥𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙪𝙥 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩, 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚. 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨, 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨, 𝙤𝙧 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙪𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚."

"𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙, 𝙘𝙧𝙪𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣... 𝙔𝙚𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡, 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚."

We didn't write those words. A visitor did — after just 90 minutes with our six rescued girls. 💚

This is why we exist. Not for performances or photo props, but for healing, dignity and second chances — for Lotus, Bow, Thonglor, Nong Tang, Mae Boon Lai and Tub Tim, and for every elephant whose story helps change how travellers see them.

Thank you to every visitor who sees what we do and shares it with the world. Your words protect elephants. 🙏

🐘💚 𝗬𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗣𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗗𝗔𝗬. 𝗔𝗧 𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗥, 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧'𝗦 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗗𝗔𝗬. 🌏

August 12 is celebrated around the world to protect Asian and African elephants — raising awareness of poaching, habitat loss, and the abuse of captive elephants in entertainment.

And this? This is how our girls marked it. 😄

Three of our rescued elephants in the lower pond — splashing, submerging, playing and exploring to their hearts' content. No schedule. No audience required. Just pure elephant joy.

Every one of them came from the riding and entertainment industry. Days like this — ordinary, happy, completely their own — are exactly what World Elephant Day exists to fight for. 💚

𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽? Three simple things:

🐘 Learn the facts about wild and captive elephant welfare
🐘 Before booking any elephant experience, ask: can visitors ride, bathe or touch? If yes, walk away
🐘 Share what you know — every informed traveller protects elephants across Thailand and beyond

And to every visitor who has walked through our gates: thank you. You make our elephants' freedom possible — not just on World Elephant Day, but all 365 of them. 🙏

🐘💚 𝗕𝗢𝗪'𝗦 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗪𝗜𝗠. 🌊

Our serene gentle giant, starting her day exactly as she pleases — with a long, cooling dip in our lower swimming pond.

Watch her submerge until only her trunk breaks the surface, exploring and foraging below the waterline, completely unhurried and utterly content. In this hot tropical low-season weather, there's simply no better place to be. 😌

Here's something many people don't realise: elephants are naturally wonderful swimmers. Their trunk works as a built-in snorkel, and the water carries their weight — for a 3,500kg lady like Bow, a swim is exercise, relief and pure pleasure all at once. 💚

And for Bow, it means even more. During the pandemic she was chained to a tree on a hillside, unable to walk freely at all. Today? She swims when she wants. Roams where she wants. Forages, explores, floats.

Free to swim. Free to roam. Free to just be an elephant. 🙏

That freedom is what every visitor to PENR helps protect.

🐘💚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗧 𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗙 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗣𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗦. 🎒

This week we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming 36 wonderful students and their teachers from the International School of Phuket (ISP) for two full days of learning at our sanctuary! 🙏

Their visit covered so much:

🐘 A welcome introduction to our work and our six rescued elephants' stories
🌿 A walk through the sanctuary to meet the girls and observe their natural behaviour
🍌 Preparing food in our elephant kitchen — then helping to feed our elephants, hands-off as always
🌳 Heading up into the jungle to watch the elephants foraging for wild vines
♻️ And a visit to our Elephant Dung Recycling Center, where they learned how elephant dung becomes beautiful recycled coloured paper!

But the most important lesson of all? How to respect elephants and their freedom. 💚

Because real change starts with the next generation. Every student who learns why elephants shouldn't be ridden, bathed or touched becomes a voice for ethical tourism — in their families, their friend groups, and one day, their own travels.

ISP joins a long list of international and local schools who visit PENR regularly, and it's honestly one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

Thank you, ISP — for your support, your curiosity and your wonderful students. We can't wait to see you again! 🎒🐘

Schools and groups — we'd love to welcome you too. DM us or check the link in bio! 💚

🐘💚 𝟯𝟲 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗣𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗕𝗘𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗣𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗦. 🎬

Feeding — hands-off, always. Roaming wherever they please. A really good scratch against a favourite tree. Foraging for vines up in the jungle. Caked head to tail in mud spa glory. A swim in the lower pond.

No tricks. No performances. No commands. Just six rescued elephants filling their day exactly as they choose. 💚

This beautiful reel was captured by the wonderfully talented Jeremy of & during their recent visit — thank you both for seeing our sanctuary so perfectly.

And Jeremy's words after his visit say it better than we ever could:

"𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙪𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙥𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩, 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙢, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙛𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩. 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩 𝙖 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤 𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨."

🐘💚 𝟮,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪𝗦. 𝟰.𝟵 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗦. 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗘𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗢𝗨𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨. 🙏

This week, our Google reviews passed 2,000 — with an overall rating of 4.9 stars.

We're genuinely moved. Not by the number itself, but by what sits behind it: two thousand people who chose an ethical, hands-off elephant experience, saw what we do up close, and took the time to tell the world about it.

Every single review helps another traveller choose kindly. When someone in London or Sydney or Berlin is deciding between riding, bathing or simply observing — your words are what they find. Your reviews have quietly become one of the most powerful voices for ethical elephant tourism in Phuket. 💚

So this milestone belongs to you: every visitor who came with an open heart, every family who chose to learn, every reviewer who told a stranger "this is the right way to see elephants."

From Lotus, Bow, Thonglor, Nong Tang, Mae Boon Lai and Tub Tim — and every one of us who cares for them — thank you. 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

Here's to the next 2,000 travellers choosing kindly.

🐘💚 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘 — 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔 𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗟𝗘 𝗧𝗢𝗨𝗖𝗛. 📸

Look at the detail in these photographs. The freckled skin. The long lashes. The quiet intelligence behind the eye.

Every one of these was captured by Jeremy and Farah — and — during their recent visit, and we're so grateful to them for seeing our girls so beautifully. 🙏

Here's what we love most about this set: you can feel how close they were. And they never laid a hand on a single elephant.

That's the thing people don't expect about a hands-off sanctuary. Not touching doesn't mean staying away — it means letting the elephant decide. When she chooses to wander over, to reach out her trunk for a banana, to stand quietly nearby and carry on eating, that closeness is real. It was given, not taken. 💚

You can photograph a soul without ever touching it.

Thank you Jeremy and Farah for the kind words, the wonderful review and these stunning images. You're welcome back anytime! 😊
