A Hard Childhood
MeBai, a young elephant in Thailand, was taken from her mother, Mae Yui, and forced into the tourism trade.
Too small to carry riders, she grew weak and sick before being abandoned.
Rescue and Recovery
Elephant Nature Park took her in, giving her freedom, food, and kindness. Slowly, she regained trust in humans. Yet, she still longed for her mother.
The Reunion
Sanctuary staff discovered Mae Yui was alive. After three years apart, mother and daughter met again. MeBai rumbled a call; Mae Yui answered. They wrapped trunks around each other in a trembling embrace — a language of memory, forgiveness, and love.
A New Life Together
Now safe at the sanctuary, they roam, forage, and rest side by side. As one caretaker said: “An elephant never forgets. Especially the love of another elephant.”
