Meet Duang Dee – The Leader of Good Fortune

Duang Dee, whose name means "Good Luck," is a vibrant 25-year-old elephant with a powerful presence that commands respect and admiration. Rescued from a riding camp, she carries visible scars on her head, a haunting reminder of the harsh conditions and the painful hooks used to control her while she worked. Despite her past, she has blossomed into the leader of her group here at our sanctuary, guiding her fellow elephants with strength and wisdom.

Duang Dee is not just a leader; she is a force of nature. Whether it's rallying the herd for a mud bath or leading them to the best feeding spots, her high leadership qualities shine through in all her interactions. She thrives in the company of her friends, creating a harmonious environment filled with playful energy and camaraderie.

One of Duang Dee's greatest joys is playing in the water and indulging in mud baths, where she showcases her carefree spirit. Watching her splash around brings smiles to everyone who visits our sanctuary—her exuberance is infectious!

Moreover, Duang Dee has a remarkable tenacity for overcoming challenges. Known for her ability to tackle problems head-on, she inspires those around her to embrace resilience and courage. Her determination serves as a powerful reminder of the strength found within nature, despite the adversities faced.
