I’m Aom and I’m about 37 years old. In my childhood, I was trained to perform various acrobatics. When I grew up, I spent most of my life carrying tourists on my back. I had some mental issues from the arduous training and sometimes the cruelty, and I had to be separated from my calves many times.

“I’m Moloair, and I’m a bit of a sensitive girl. You see, even though I’m still really young, I didn’t have the best upbringing, and I have a large hole at the end of my trunk which makes me spill water, and I have a lisp when I trumpet.

“I’m naughty. My name is Kwan Samui which means ‘good luck Samui’. I was born in 2011, so I am eight. My mummy is called Aom, and she lives in Samui Elephant Haven as well, but she lives in the hilly bit with Perm Poon, my little brother. .

“Hello, you’ll probably best know me as the cheeky one or the diva. I’m Nong Pech. I was born on Koh Samui Island in 2012, so I’m still pretty young. I was with my mum, Somboon, until some people took me to Surin in the northeast of Thailand to become a street beggar; just like Sorn Ram.

I’m Perm Poon, and I am a big two! Aom is my mummy, and we spend all of our time together. She is very protective of me, so I can’t go and play with the bigger babies. I hope one day when I am more grown up I can.

My name is Sorn Ram. I was born and raised in the north of Thailand. I started my life in the teak wood logging trade where we would push, pull and roll big logs all day long, the job was risky especially for a baby elephant who didn’t listen!

“Sri Nin here! I’m the oldest elephant at Samui Elephant Haven; I am thought to have been born in 1967 in Ranong, which is a small province in southern Thailand. For as long as I can remember, I was used as ‘machinery’ in the logging industry; endlessly dragging and pushing heavy teak wood trunks and logs.

“My name is Somboon; you’ll all know me as the elephant that, with Sri Nuan marched on the ‘Walk to Freedom in May 2019. I recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. It’s lovely knowing that he is born into complete freedom.

I am the first baby to be born at Samui Elephant Haven, I was born under the last full moon of the decade and on Friday 13; these things make me very lucky. I am a little boy and my mum is Somboon.

Our beloved Luna was born as a surprise under the lunar full moon on October 3rd 2021. Just 18 months before, we rescued her mum Aom from a trekking camp but we didn’t realise that she was pregnant.

“Hello, I’m Sri Nuan. I was with Somboon when we walked across the island to freedom. It was a long walk for a sick old lady. The procession had to keep stopping so that I could rest. At about the halfway point, the vet had to come and see me and give me a drip because I was so dehydrated. We did eventually make it.

“I’m Plai Bang; this means ‘boy elephant’ in Thai. I’m a bit of a ‘Jack the Lad’, well, I used to be until it got me into trouble. You see, I was taken from my mother when I was only two years old. All-day long, I walked up and down the beach at a hotel, only stopping to have my photograph taken and to be fed watermelon and bananas.
