Nong Pop (น้องป๊อป)
35
Born in 1990, Nong Pop spent many years giving rides to tourists, enduring relentless physical strain. Nong Pop was rescued in June 2015 from an elephant riding camp in Kanchanaburi, along with Mae Pon and Kham Paeng. Although the three elephants came from the same trekking camp, they had never been allowed to socialize. Over time, they formed a close bond with Mae Pon and Kham Paeng taking on the role of caring for Nong Pop, the youngest of the three elephants.
This small herd is inseparable, and their relationship is heartwarming to witness. Since her rescue, Nong Pop has embraced her newfound freedom and carefree life. She now lives at Elephant Highlands, where she enjoys her life wandering her mountain sanctuary home. More recently, she has become one of baby Jun’s devoted nannies.
