Erawan elephant paradise

Save Elephant Foundation's Sangduen "Lek" Chailert, along with a group of volunteers, recently freed five elephants from Sai Yok elephant camp. Their new home is at Erawan Paradise, located in Kanchanaburi, in midwestern Thailand. Let's see how happy they are in their new home.

Erawan looks like a beautiful place for elephants to roam, free and happy in the jungle thanks to Lek! We must Petition the Govt. of Thailand to STOP the inhumane Phajaan that tortures and kills so many baby elephants! It is heartbreaking to even think of it! Thank goodness young people understand elephants need love, kindness and care and space to roam with their families, away from people who only harm them. Perhaps they can change things. God bless Lek and all who support her!

If you ever have the pleasure to meet Lek Chaillet, you will realise this woman is God’s gift to animals, not just elephants but all the variety of animals at her sanctuaries. I had the pleasure to volunteer at Chiang Mai, and it will be a warmth in my heart till the day I die, thank you Lek and Derek.

[@Doriesep6622]

How do you go about volunteering?

[@keithwald5349]

I've only seen her in videos, but from what I've seen, she is an angel.

[@janicesmith5974]

Gilda McCully Her videos, and Paul Barton’s YT channel (he plays piano outside for elephants) have made me totally obsessed with elephants. I told my husband “We have to get a baby elephant! 😆

[@quirinopucci9182]

Stupidi turisti quando bagnate g,li elefanti state in mezzo alla loro mera gli elefanti sanno fare tutto da soli state a casa bastardi e lasciate liberi. Gli elefanti stupidi dalla Italia elisa

[@AmphipolisXoXo]

Thank you. I always thought that elephants are more humane than humans.

[@dianemorris5816]

Very true😊

[@Jkatz9y]

THANK YOU LEK!! Thank you for all your work to free these elephants and educate the humans.

[@amarkantkumar4233]

This woman has a heart of gold.

[@Bluemoonsigma]

I've shared this all over Facebook to give them more coverage!! AMAZING WORK!! THANK YOU!!

[@rfresa]

I'm so glad that there are so many tourists who are interested in having a more meaningful and respectful interaction with elephants! If enough people volunteer or donate to places like this instead of going to a place that supports elephant abuse, then eventually there will be no demand for such places.

[@donnaeckhardt6960]

I am glad people love elephants, the way they do

[@JKFitz]

I pray that I can make the trip to meet the elephants & Lek....🙏🙏🙏. Ive always loved elephants and i think it's an amazing thing that she is doing

[@michellechen9255]

Yesssss!!! Human and elephants live Equally !!!👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@urielgrey]

Thank you for loving them enough to protect them.

[@queenyupin1231]

We need to educate the public, the tourists, and the elephants owners. Them and only then we can help save more of these poor elephants.

[@preethieapasingha452]

[@seescafedeu]

[@chowyewwah1643]

[@JMJ4444-f2n]

Thank you for all you do, you are a living Saint in our world! Thank you for resuming and loving God’s beautiful creation of elephants 🐘 ❤✝️🙏 ❤️❤️❤️

[@bellablock5864]

When there are people who care, than there is hope. Thank you for caring and sharing.

[@lynnski7639]

Don't dare call yourself an elephant lover if you even consider going to one of these trekking camps.The abuse & suffering they go through is heart breaking & i don't know what can be exciting or thrilling about being on an animal that is only letting you do so out of fear because they've literally had the life beaten out of them.These gentle giants need our compassion & respect,not chains & bull hooks

[@jonathandorr2234]

Thank you for being new to the conversation. Don’t just criticize, show up and assist. This is the time of change. Chang

[@shylajaday3966]

One of the best elephant video. Big salute.

[@robbie8142]

Hello Lek and all who love Elephants! ELEPHANTS FOREVER!!! 🐘🐘🐘🤗🤗🤗 It's the trunk!

[@bulldawg4498]

No more chains ... No more bullhooks ... No more abuse ... No more slave animals ... These are beautiful and intelligent creatures ...

[@Railroadchick]

Look how happy! How can people abuse these beautiful creatures?! There is NO NEED. they respond to love and positive encouragement.

[@rogernamvet]

One of the best ELEPHANT videos I've ever seen!!!!Thanks, Lek!!!!!!!These elephants are SO CUTE, and they make me think of the TV show, THE GOLDEN GIRLS, where people/elephants RETIRE and ENJOY THE GOOD LIFE! :)

[@jjmarket598]

ปลื้มใจแทนพวกเขาอย่างจับใจ

[@ไพรินทร์สืบปาน]

พึ่งติดตามปางช้างของคุณเล็ก ดูคอมเม้นไม่เจอคนไทยเลย

[@OlaviKnaapilaMane]

Thank You My Friend "Elephant Women" Jehovahs Blessing 😀🌸

[@Railroadchick]

They need more land in order to rescue more elephants, lets do what we can to make this happen!

[@Railroadchick]

I wonder how people from other countries can help stop the abuse? Especially the “crush” that people do , to “train” the elephant. It is horrible. I want to help stop the abuse . Elephants deserve a happy elephant life. 💕🐘

[@n-silvabts9178]

I think they can report the videos of abusive places, also when visiting those countries refuse to visit circuses and riding park and demand to visit the sanctuaries. also, donating to the sanctuaries.

[@somsaks2001]

No chain, no riding, and no treks, free at last, FUN WOW!!!

[@leegian8]

Hi guys, may God bless all of you for your kindness, and warmest heart, l am so proud of you. and at the same time thanks for the hard work, love you all !!!!!! l will go to visit that place in chiang mai thailand some day, when l have an opportunity.

[@hparamesh]

Thanks 🙏🏾 for this video love elephants wish I get a chance to see them pet & cuddle with them. Elephants are sooo cute & such beautiful animals God’s creation

[@kitsanathongsuk7055]

ขอบคุณ คุณเล็กแทนช้างด้วยนะครับ

[@AmphipolisXoXo]

The thumbs down are poachers!

[@Railroadchick]

AmphipolisXoXo yup and abusers who think it’s ok to “ crush” them so they can control them. Shame on those people! Elephants are the symbol of Thailand, yet some think it’s ok to abuse them?! Wtf is wrong with some people. I just hope the abuse ends, and all elephants can live happy, elephant lives, free of abuse

[@jansuwannala5240]

ปางช้างในฝันเลยค่ะ อยากให้ทุกแห่งเป็นแบบนี้ จะให้มีการนั่งช้างอยู่บ้างก็ได้ แต่ก็ต้องไม่ให้ช้างทำงานหนักเกินไป เช่น ครั้งหนึ่งไม่เกินสองชั่วโมง วันละไม่เกินสองครั้ง ที่เหลือก็ให้เขาอยู่แบบอิสระ และต้องเป็นช้างที่ยังแข็งแรงเท่านั้น ถ้าช้างป่วยหรือมีปัญหาทางร่างกาย ห้ามทำงานเด็ดขาด

[@Ashanti71]

❤ u Lek!🙏🏼

[@debbieathy5204]

I’m Glad they have English translation to what she is saying I hate when they have nature videos in one lab and no English translation on it such a bummer

[@debbieathy5204]

So green there so beautiful place to visit

[@kratkyhomesteader9043]

Music overcomes VOICE~~~

[@kendraborczuch-kitts8935]

Elephants should not be serving humans, we should be serving Elephants.

[@aileendatay7912]

The most important thing to do in saving the elephants is through Thailand s government concern... They should have the Law which they wouldnt allow elephants to use for humans resources... Trekking logging and entertainment.... By this.you can save them... Support all the project regards to conservation still this project can help on your tourism indistry... People who use elephants as slaves must put into prison and charge penalty.... Thats the better thing to do...

[@lestki]

And then there's the stupid. I've just been to the Chiang Mai Nature Park, a dream of mine for so long. On telling my brother about 'the crush' and why you shouldn't ride elephants he just said that's what they're there for. I spent about half an hour showing him crush videos but he said if he wants to ride an elephant he will. There is just no hope for some people so we need to remove all entertainment by elephants including painting etc.
