The camp, established in May 2003, is set in Mae Taeng valley, Chiang Mai province, some 60km from the city Chiang Mai.

Founded in 1996 by Sangduen öLekö Chailert, who was named Asian Hero of the Year by Time magazine in 2005.

As the floods recede in Chiang Mai, a tragedy involving two elephants from the Elephant Nature Park of the Save Elephant Foundation in Mae Taeng district has sparked a heated debate among elephant lovers, particularly over the evacuation of more than one hundred elephants and thousands of other animals.

Pang Fah Sai, aged 16, and Pang Ploy Tong, aged 40, were swept away by flash floods on October 3. Their bodies were found drowned 5 km from the Elephant Nature Park on October 5.

Kanchana pointed out that other camps had been warned about the flash floods and had moved their elephants to safety since late September. They heeded the warnings and had their mahouts evacuate the elephants. However, the Elephant Nature Park continued to receive tourists until October 4 and only canceled activities when the situation had already become critical.

She also pointed out that video clips and pictures show elephants wading through the floodwaters alone, including a blind elephant, suggesting that the park did not have specialized mahouts for each elephant. Instead, general mahouts oversaw the entire area, making it impossible to respond in time. Caring for the elephants requires control, especially in emergencies, but it must abide by the law and avoid cruelty.

on the morning of October 9, Saengduean posted a message announcing to Ms. Kanjana to come and take the two male elephants, Khun Dech and Dok Kaeo, that were previously left at her Elephant Nature Park to live elsewhere, which she thought was ” appropriate.
