Nua Un and Prathid, two female elephants at Thai Elephant Conservation Center in the forested area of northern Thailand, have become the world’s first pachyderm therapists.

Elephants are well suited for the job because of their intelligence and ability to keep the prolonged attention of the children. While riding on the elephants, the children not only enjoy themselves, but in addition enhance their sense of balance.

The gentle animals also use their trunks to play ball games with the children. Improvements have been observed after 3 weeks of therapy.

Bravo, Nua Un and Prathid, for your kindness and valuable assistance. May you have lives full of joy as you continue to help many beautiful children with your special loving presence.
