Lullaby for an Elephant


YouTube Link

Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai province, Northern Thailand is an elephant sanctuary and rescue center. Located in an idyllic, rural setting in a natural valley bordered by a river, the park is a welcome refuge for elephants in distress from all over Thailand.

Elephant Nature Park's founder Sangduen "Lek" Chailert has an interesting history. Her grandfather was a tribesman and traditional healer who took Lek on jungle adventures when she was young. Later, her family cared for an elephant that became her companion. Lek's lifelong affinity for elephants led to her important work with the species.

This sweet video shows Lek singing an elephant named Faa Mai to a sound sleep, complete with elephant snores. Via Viral Viral Videos.

Sorry to jump into a correction right away, I work for one of the companies involved with this amazing project. The temple itself was not raised, it was braced and the soil was excavated right out from underneath. IMHO, a completely off-the-charts awesome creative idea, and a beautiful structure worth preserving.
