I’d like you to meet Ampan. At 80-years-old she was one of the oldest elephants in Thailand. Ampan was blind so needed to be looked after with great care. Ampan was the gentlest of all the elephants I have been privileged to know and I became very attached to her. Occasionally we’d take an early evening walk in the bushy wilderness around her home. Ampan seemed to enjoy slow piano music so occasionally I’d play her a few melodies before we strolled back to her home by the river.
