Kham La (คำำาหล้า)
Kham La, which means ‘Darling’, was born in 2011. Her mother was working at a trekking camp in Kanchanaburi when Kham La was born. Tragically, Kham La was separated from her mother at a young age and subjected to the cruel training process known as phajaan, designed to break her spirit. She endured intense training to perform in shows, which led to stereotypical behaviors (neurotic behaviors caused by stress, also known as zoochosis).
Thankfully, Kham La was rescued and reunited with her mother, Mae Baitoey, at ENP, where she began a new life. Initially, her mother found it hard to reconnect with Kham La, likely due to fear of being separated again. Kham La now loves spending time with her large herd, roaming freely through the sanctuary. As the youngest member of the herd, she has many doting nannies and enjoys leading her family. She shares a special bond with Darrick, built on mutual love and respect.
