Boo Jhan
Born: 1968
Sex: Female
In her early life, Boo Jhan worked as a logging elephant in the mountains of Samoeng, Chiang Mai.
After it became illegal, Boo Jhan was out of work and so was moved into the tourism industry. They
trained her to give rides to tourists, putting a saddle on her back and forcing her to walk in cycles
day after day with little rest. Then she was moved again to do same job carrying people at Mae
Taeng where she worked for years. Many hands, hooks and chains took their toll on her – sadly all
part of everyday life. She had several babies while working but most of them got separated from her
and sold to other camps.
In 2016, she was rescued and brought her to live and retire at Journey to Freedom where she is a
part of a true family among other elephants. One of her sons, Ae Ra Wuan, was also rescued and
brought to live with her. Her health is really good now. She doesn’t like horses and cows. Boo Jhan
isn’t picky when it comes to food; she eats almost anything. She doesn’t get along with the other
elephants very well at this point, preferring the peace of staying alone in jungle.
