Pang Nong Mai's children:
Plai Boon Kerd (bull, aged 8)
Plai Mee Boon (bull, aged 4)
Pang Boonsri (cow; birthdate: 6 July 2018)

Nong Mai arrived at Maeteang Elephant Park along with her mom (Mae Boonma) in 1995. She was just 2 yrs old. She found her place around the park and quickly warmed up to the people that visit the park daily. She and her mother (Mae Boon Ma) soon took a liking to a young orichai who recently joined the heard at the park as well. Where ever you found Nong Mai there would be Orichai. Nong Mai is one of our most beloved elephant and has never experienced the harsh conditions of the logging camps. She has been raised in the safety and protection of Mae Teng Elephant Park for almost all of her life. She is a gifted painter with a unique style of her own. Every Painting Nong Mai paints 100% of the proceeds goes to the building and running cost of the new free elephant clinic here at the park.

Nong Mai very recently gave birth to her first calf. A BOY! In the nearby jungle on 07-10-2009. The closest Elephant vet was over an hour away so it was upto the Mahouts to take care of Nog Mai and her calf. They did an outstanding job! Nongmai and her baby un-announced at the park. She walked right up to her mother (Mae Boonma) to introduce her new baby. Mae Boonma and the new baby bonded instantly. Ongnai and her calf have been provided with a area of their own inside the park. Nong Mai is not working or painting at this time so that she can spend important time with her calf. They mingle with parts of the hears and take their own strolls during the day. Three generations of elephants in the same Herd this day & age is truly a rare thing.
