Every time news reaches us about an elderly elephant in need, we act promptly, disregarding their trauma and frailty. Despite the challenges in rescuing aged elephants, we carefully navigate each step, ensuring a safe journey to freedom.
The process is demanding, requiring meticulous care in every aspect, from relocation to addressing risks. Our commitment intensifies upon reaching their new home, involving rigorous efforts in nutrition-rich cooking and persistent care for age-related symptoms.
SomBoon, much like many rescued elephants, was captured over 80 years ago, torn from the wild and family, trained to serve humanity for decades. As she weakens, we believe she deserves the freedom she was denied. With little time left, we aim to provide her with the love, happiness, and freedom she missed for eight decades.
In her twilight years, we strive to compensate for the experiences SomBoon lost, ensuring she receives the care and services she deserves today.

I've never seen ribs stick out on an elephant before, like these do 😢. Bless you all for rescuing this beautiful old soul.
You ever see an 84 year old elephant before?
World record is 86, in captivity. This elephant isn't going to look like what you expect due to age. If she was heavier it is possible she wouldn't be able to stand up.
Had she been a wild animal shed likely have been dead 40 years ago. The only reason she's still alive is humans kept her alive.
Such beautiful God created loving creatures. I love elephants they are gentle giants and their parenting skills and love for their babies is 💯👏👍
Yes, elephants have ribs ... that's prolly dermis of this pachyderm as she ages. Granny looks good, unsure weight (edit ES did indicate that 2534 kg) though to me still looks svelte, strong, & healthy.

Humans kept her Suffering and in constant Stress, with lack of Nutrition. That's what made her thinner than she should be at her age. Had she been properly cared for, she would have had more body strength.
Unfortunately you can see quite a few, young & old, on this channel, Gentle Giants & Wildlife SOS. Please keep watching & commenting, both promote the videos. Thank you ❤
This one got me to tears. Thank you so much for rescuing her, she deserves freedom. How can any people(especially tourists) even think of riding on a elephant. That is cruel, shame on them.
I cried too. How cruel the previous owners were. There has to be laws made to punish owners of Ellis who treat them like this. I live in NY and feel their pain
People don't know. Instead of shaming them, it's better to offer information. Most people care once they find out.
Me too.
Sme tourists know no better. I had a friend that wanted to go for an elephant ride, it was on her 'bucket list'. I sent her some links for info and she nearly puked. Needless to say, she now discourages anyone from wanting an elephant ride.
@@AnnaMariannexxxfzy tt
They are all old, weak, sick and disabled, but they have to carry iron chairs weighing dozens of kilograms to be ridden by tourists. The Internet is so developed, I don't understand why there are still countless people who don't know the suffering of these animals?
Thank you for your rescue. We will also do our best to help you save more elephants!
Agreed!!!
They know they don’t care
@@missclaire4820 I didn't find out until recently that riding elephants can actually hurt them -- it seemed impossible that such a large animal could be harmed by the weight of a mere human.
I don't have the money for tourism anyway, but if I did you can be sure that I wouldn't go on any elephant-riding events.
@missclaire4820 I wish that weren't true 😢 but I believe you are right 😢
Agreed! I boycot riding on animals- and when ppl told me they did ride an elephant, I didn't respond, expression less
Thank you all for coming to SomBoon's rescue and giving her the relief and care she needs and deserves. ❤
SomBoon finally amongst people who love and care for her and want nothing in return.
Seeing her lay in the sand & flinging wet mud over her back was so beautiful!
💙🐘💙
87 years of suffering. Heartbroken. Elephants don't forget, but she will enjoy her last moments. We need complete change on this planet, to stop all animal cruelty. We need a cosmic reset.
I have been praying and hoping that law in Thailand would change that. It is so unfair that they are using the elephants as a profits, owners need to find a job to provide food for elephants, if he cannot afford it then they need to be free in the forest where they belong.
Awwww her exhausted now she can rest 🥹
A virus to make all humans infertile.
We also need to help this charity properly, let's all commit more than words to what they're doing.
One of the best ways to help protect animals is to give the humans who exploit them genuinely good work opportunities. For so many suffering animals, they are suffering along side humans with no better options. I've been vegan for over 12 years, promoting animal rights without demanding social protections for humans at the same time tries to solve half the problem and never makes lasting, meaningful change!
Thankful she was saved. I hate to see tourists still thinking it's ok to ride elephants. They are clueless and have no sense. Retire in peace dear gentle one ❤❤❤❤
I feel the same !
YES 🤗
As a kid I had friends who rode horses. I once went with them, to see if I could join. I found the contrast between a picture we had of wild running horses and these animals walking circles in a sandbox so depressing, that I never returned. It blows my mind when people not see this.
At this point, I don't believe the tourists are clueless anymore. They have eyes, they see the chains, the sharp sticks, the bruises, the ropes, the skinny bodies, they see.
@n-silvabts9178 They see but still do it.
87 years old 😢 ..it's a shameful world we live in ...God please open the eyes of people so we can save the animals. This hurts my soul 💔 I pray she has a long time to have joy.🙏🙏🙏
87?
Wow..
Is so god ppl, who rescued her!!!!!
Agreed, and thanks for putting your compassion into words on this video. It helps people who feel alone in caring about these situations. ❤
My heart aches for these animals held captive so long. I could scream knowing what they have endured. Thank you for giving her a better life now. So sad she had to wait so long and suffer so much.
Hen I saw her, her painful life as a slave, I started to cry...
@@angelikasadlovski6970❤ keep commenting, it helps others process feelings and promotes the cause of elephants 🐘 ❤
So you don't eat meat? Or just hunt wild?
Now you can finally enjoy freedom and rest in your forever home Somboon. 💕
You do know you are typing into a computer right? You are not typing to an elephant.
SomBoon, I couldn't be happier for you. May you live the rest of days in love, peace & harmony. Thank you ENP!
Hard to get through this one without tears. I hope granny gets years more of freedom and love.
It seems she is so thankful to you all for rescuing her... She's so relived... In sand she's playing like a baby ❤❤❤❤
You people are blessing to this world 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I totally LOVE this lady who rescued her❣❣❣ Thank you from the bottom of my heart.💝
80 years😭😱can't even imagine what she been through, poor poor lady😭❤
So beautiful to allow these creatures to feel dignity and love, even if it's the end of their lives. Let them live out their day's in peace and they will rest in peace when the time comes. Thank you for doing this!
To see the chains on the Elephant 🐘 is so sad, rest you beautiful Elephant enjoy your time away from chains.
Your with mummy Lek now. Safe and loved, peace ❤ 🐘
How can anyone feel it is ok to ride a Elephant in that poor condition. You can see all her bones and yet tourists seem to feel that is just fine. I am happy that she get to spend the time of her remaining life where she is not abused or used, but where she can just be an Elephant.
Very true ❤
Some people might assume that that is how the owner makes money to feed her.
@@tessdurberville711 If that was the case she would not be starving and in such a bad condition. You do not help a pet in a misserable situation by adding to it's problem.
😔😔😔😔 My God look what they’ve done to her 💔THANK YOU FOR SAVING THIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL 🙏🏼 🕉️🙏🏼💜🌻
😰😰😰 Bless the poor old lady who worked so hard for such a long life. Peace for her at last. Thank you ENP 😢😢😢🐘💔💔💔
This one made me teary eyed. Such a sweet old soul, may you be blessed with healing my love.
Good morning never get tired of watching Lek rescue Hod bless her an Grandma Rest now after many years of hard work tears of joy watching this one
Laying on the softest bed she has ever had, makes me so happy for SomBoon, she will now have a wonderful life, I am so grateful to Lek, Darrick and all others that look after all the Elephants, and other animals. You are truly God's gift.😊
Спасибо Вам, добрые люди, за то, что хотя бы в конце жизни слоник почувствовал Вашу доброту!
It's a she, but maybe it's the translation. For the rest I totally agree.
Жаль, что в странах, где живут слоны, добрые люди в большом дефиците. Надо ж было до такой степени издеваться над бедной слонихой.
Sweet grand lady. She found freedom and love because of amazing people. ❤
Many blessings to Somboon & this beautiful Sanctuary that took her in. She deserves all the happiness they can give her. Hearing her story made me cry, 87yrs in bondage?!😢
💙🐘💙
Le pauvre il est tout maigre la vraie vie commence enfin pour lui ❤
Good morning, precious and beautiful 🐘 ❤ Thank you all for caring and loving these amazing elephants! You are HEROES ❤
Thank you for saving this dear elephant it's time for her to relax and retire no elephant or animals should be used for riding
She's clearly so happy to be free to be a free elephant again. ❤
My heart lifts when I see that rescue truck and the life of another elephant being given their freedom. Blessings to all who are involved in making it happen. You are heroes.
She is beautiful thank you for making her last times on earth full
Of love
beautiful lady! no one is ever too old to be rescued and loved. i am so happy for her
yes pl
This brought tears to my eyes. Godbless her rescuers and the beautiful donor. Som boon looks so thin and worn out. I hope and pray she fully recovers and spends many more years in freedom at ENP being loved.
Thank you guys so so soooo much! I'm happy this poor baby is finally safe and at a place where she will be well taken care of. So happy she won't have to work at this ripe old age. Poor thing probably never got to rest in sand earlier. Just heartbreaking.
Dearest Somboon ❤ It breaks my heart that this very elderly lady has cruelly been denied her birthright all her life. 87 years! 😢 Nothing will ever make this right but, as she approaches her transition to "home", I am appreciative that she will leave surrounded by love and kindness. I know and understand that many people dont hold to my beliefs but I am truly convinced that Elephants, like humans, return to spirit when their time here is over. In Somboon's case she will roam freely and happily in the Beauty of Spirit. Rest Dear Lady before your final journey. 🧡🐘🧡🙏 Shame on those who stole her freedom. Your spiritual home will reflect your time here.
Absolutely true, Jan....They go home...just as we do ♥
@dragonfly9209 Thank You ❤️🐘❤️🙏
This really made me tear up. Oh, the things we humans do to Nature and Nature's creatures in order to "entertain" ourselves. We ravage Nature (yes, again with capital"N") and abuse and enslave animals all because we feel we have "the right" to do so.🙄 Thankfully, this gentle giant was at long last saved, but... how many more like her are still out there? My gratitude and respect for anyone and everyone involved in her rescue.🙏❤️
I found this happiness too late, but I sincerely hope that you live a long and healthy life. 🙏🙏
My heart weeps for her terrible earlier life. At last she has the peace & happiness she always deserved. Thank you for rescuing her ❤❤🐘
Thank you. Live in peace, love and comfort the rest of your days, SomBoon🐘😍
I've already watched this video as a clip from ENP instagram but i cried again watching it.. Thank you ENP for giving her peace
I hope she will stay at ENP for a long, long time. At 87 she deserves to enjoy herself at least! Thank you for saving her 👍💜✌️🤗
Thank you all for saving her precious elephant life ❤❤
SomBoon rest, eat green and fruits, lots of water and mud at enp. LekLek and team will love you. Will she interact with other elephants? she will love this time at the end of her life🙏
She is so so beautiful!!! It is heartwarming to see her frolicking, eating and enjoying herself.
👏👏👏WHOOPIE ANOTHER ONE FREE. Lovely to see this magnificent 80 year old beauty, spend her golden years with lek, and her amazing crew. Cracking good video thanks 💖😁
I love you with all my heart beautiful SomBoon!
Bless her heart. And bless her rescuers! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for rescuing SomBoon. Now she needs a herd.
This is the work of Thai Angels the good people that see the plight of these beautiful cratures and for whatever is left of their lifes will be spent roaming freely with other elephants and the people that love and take care of them...i cried happy tears for her freedom..
TQVM for helping Somboon. Tq to all of you kind people and ENP team. TQ TQ TQVM Godbless.
Thank you for helping the poor elephant, who was mercilessly abused by your fellow citizens for decades. Your work is necessary and noble and God bless you.🙏 But it’s just impossible to compensate for a stolen entire life.😥
May GodBless SomBoon now and forever. It is so hard to think about this and watch.
Thanks a million ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆
If those elephants are working, give them enough rest, water and food.
They're treated with cruelty.
God bless Lek and all of the people and animals at the sanctuary.
Thanks to all of you.
I could cry. Especially when i think, that i rode on an elephant thirty years ago. Thanks to the people and doner, who helped him. Good people.
Thank you for her saving❤
Thank you for helping this elephant! 😭😭😭😭
I so hope she has more time to enjoy her new happiness, more than just a few days ❤❤❤❤❤ And God bless her wonderful donor!
It is so heartwarming to see the emotions of the care givers! Bless you all for everything that you do! ❤
O this brought tears. May she have many more years in this wonderful place. Thank you to all who made this happen. ❤️
May SomBoon's every moment be filled with ease, comfort, care and the deepest love and respect. May she find some joy in the care of all you who show her love.
Thank you for rescuing this beautiful, noble, abused elderly elephant and for sharing her story with us.
As with many of ENP’s videos, though, the music was intrusive and overpowering. I was unable to understand the narration of the rescuer. Please consider allowing the visuals, the narrations, and the ambient sounds tell your stories. These are enough. Thanks.
I agree.. lose the music.
Thank You and God Bless and Protect All of You!!! 🥰
Thank For Rescuing Gorgeous Sonboom,Enjoy your Freedom,your Food and Treats,all The Love and Kindness,That you so Deserve!!❤️
She got to experience the oasis that’s ENP, the freedom, love & care.
I’m sure she’ll get to enjoy time in the river 💖🐘
God bless you all
Tears seeing in her old age and still have to work long hours as a riding elephant. Elephant didn't design to carry people on their back. It could cause medical problem to their spine. Thank u so much for saving n giving the chance so SomBoon could spend her golden years happy, healthy n free. She doesn't need to work anymore n just living the life. ❤❤
Beautiful. THANK YOU for saving her.
Todavía sigo llorando. De tristeza y de felicidad. De tristeza, porque puedo entender una cultura, lo que no puedo comprender es el por qué tantos años de explotación. ¡Y lloro de felicidad al saber que ahora es libre al fin! 💕💕💕
Enjoy your freedom SomBoon, & the love & care you’re now getting from your rescuers. ❤️🐘❤️
Oh bhi 2500dy
Gracias por este nuevo rescate. Buenas y merecida nueva vida ❤!!!
If this doesnt bring tears to your eyes then you arent alive inside. tyvm for helping this gentle giant! live your best life sweet thing!!
Beautiful
I'm crying...so heartwarming story❤ Thank you!
Tourists that ride elephants are the worst ,they can't claim ignorance because everyone knows about the cruelty these beautiful animals suffer ,so glad somboon is free and living a life of peace and enjoying her life
❤️❤️❤️
Wow!!! This was a very moving video. Thank you for helping the elephants!!
Thank you for rescuing her
What makes me see red is the chain around these beautiful elephants. The owners must chain up and do the hard work that these beautiful elephants have done. The tourists donate your money ENP
할머니코끼리가 너무 불쌍해요 😢
제발 코끼리를 타거나 아프게하지마세요!
렉 과 기부자들에게 축복을🙏 감사합니다💜💜💜
Here's to our Matriarch Ellie girl living in love and peace to 100!💖
The footage of her truck ride is so beautiful, she clearly has love for humans, she is so gentle with them. I hope she has a long and happy retirement.
😭😭😭 Such a beautiful girl. I pray 🤲 her final days are full of love and peace ❤️❤️
I'm crying tears of thankfulness and joy! Thank you for saving this precious soul. ❤
I hope she lives many more years to be happy and free. She's earned it. 😊
This brings tears to my eyes...NO MORE CHANGES...be happy
God bless you SomBoon, may you have a long, healthy and happy retirement! ❤❤🇬🇧
Thank you for saving her ❤❤❤
She looked so happy, riding in the truck, as though she could feel her freedom already. And then playing in the water, unchained at last. It brought me to tears. Thank you for saving her. Shame on tourists for riding chained beings.
Lovely to see her taking an interest in her journey. Hope she has many more years.
Thanks for rescuing her and giving her some joy in retirement. Loved seeing her sticking her trunk in the wind as they drove down the highway 🥹
My old heart hurts for the 'gentle giants'.....THANK YOU
Thank you for saving this old lady! She has sadly had to work for 87 years but is finally free! She was so happy on her ride to the sanctuary and seems so happy there. It is obvious she has a lot of health issues and with her age she may not live long but she will end her life as a free elephant and a happy elephant and you have given her a miracle that I’m sure she had long since even dreamed of. Thank you for freeing her.
Thank you ENP for bringing this old elephant to finally have some peace and comfort for the rest of its days. ENP continues to do the hard work..
Made me cry ! Thanks for rescuing her !! Happy Retirement Somboon ! You earned it , sweetheart !! ❤❤💐
Thank YOU for having a gentle and loving heart for a used animals. No animal should live like that. Thank you for saving her
Beautiful to see this wonderful lady free at last. Thank you.
Thank you for saving her she deserves it working all her life how sad❤
Thank you for rescuing her so she can have a relaxing retirement for the remainder of her days.
