How I Joined The Herd



MAE KAEW
THIS IS MY Journey
Meet Mae Kaew, a cherished resident of the Samui Elephant Kingdom, whose story unfolded on the breathtaking island of Koh Samui in 1987. From the moment she took her first steps, it was evident that she possessed a gentle and nurturing spirit. However, her journey was not without its tria ls.
Mae Kaew and her beloved daughter, Nong Fah, were once inhabitants of an elephant trekking camp, their days filled with toil and separation. But fate interven ed, and they were rescued, ensuring that the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter would endure forever.
Today, they stand as the warm and welcoming greeters, their presence radiating a sense of belonging and love to all who enter the Samui Elephant Kingdom. Their story is a testament to the enduring power of family bonds and the transformative nature of love, reminding us that through compassion and togetherness, we can create a nurturing and inclusive community for all.
