His story

The youngest elephant in our Chiang Mai care program arrived on 24 April 2026, born at the sanctuary where he still lives. His mother is Moramor, though everyone calls her Nae Noh. She was born around 2008 in Umphang District, Tak Province, and spent years as a logging elephant before she came to the sanctuary. In the photos we took in July 2026, Thong San is rarely more than a step from her side.

Birthday: 24 April. Guardians and Patrons get a birthday message from us.

You don't own Thong San, and many people support him. Your support goes to elephant care and helps us share their story with the world.
