Khun Yai (คำุณี ยาย)
Khun Yai is a senior elephant in her 70’s. Like many older elephants, she spent her early years doing logging and was later forced to work in the tourist industry at a trekking camp, giving rides to tourists. Khun Yai came to Elephant Nature Park in 2017 at the same time as Jenny and Thong Ae from Surin Province.
These three elephants developed a strong bond and Khun Yai became a grand nanny to Thong Ae, who was only 2 years old at the time. Later, when Thong Ae and Jenny formed bonds with younger elephants at the park, Khun Yai was mostly on her own.
