MEE CHAI
มีชัย
Name meaning: Victory
Arrival date: March 2018
Arrival age: 37
Rescue location: Kanchanaburi
History: Mee Chai spent most of her life working in the logging industry in Myanmar, during which time a tree fell on her leg and broke it. Unable to pull logs any more, she was sold to a trekking camp in Thailand and her injured leg continued to get worse.
After friends of WFFT, Joan Pearson and the WFFT team discovered Mee Chai, we arranged her rescue as soon as possible. Despite her injury, Mee Chai now moves very well and does not show any discomfort, no doubt due to the fact she is no longer forced to carry weight on her back.
Characteristics: Mee Chai bonded with Gan Da very quickly. She is friendly towards people but sometimes dominant with other elephants, trying to establish herself as head of a small herd. Mee Chai loves mud baths on a hot day.
