It was nice to see the young elephant SoyThong starting to bond to the older female NamPhong
after they had been introduced in a new, larger enclosure. "Family" ties and the comfort
of other elephants is so important to these magnificent animals.

More images from my 4-weeks at the elephant sanctuary can be seen:
