Lek, an award-winning conservationist, founded an elephant sanctuary in the Mae Taeng Valley near Chiang Mai, northern Thailand.
This sanctuary, home to over 100 elephants, allows these magnificent creatures to live naturally, free from the demands of performing tricks or giving rides.
In the viral video, Lek encourages ThongAe, FaaMai, and Jenny to climb a pile of debris left by the park’s flooding.
The elephants eagerly follow her lead, demonstrating their deep trust and bond with Lek. As Lek climbs and plays on the debris pile, she showers the elephants affectionately with love, showcasing the love they deserve.
When Lek steps away to attend to other matters, the elephants stand still momentarily, clearly missing her presence.
As she moves out of sight, they trumpet softly, seemingly calling out to her, and appear to panic, searching in her direction.
The sight of these gentle giants scaling the debris pile effortlessly is awe-inspiring. They regard Lek as part of their family and instinctively strive to protect her, much like loyal pets.
Lek’s sanctuary is not just home to elephants; she has also rescued over 700 dogs, 1,600 cats, 130 cows, 100 buffaloes, and many other animals.
Her profound love for animals is evident in how she interacts with them, earning their unwavering trust and affection.
