The three pachyderms are living at a shelter in Lampang under the supervision of the National Elephant Institute.

The first elephant is a 14-year-old cow named Phang Phra Thida Juthanant. She was adopted on October 8, 1994, about a year after she was born.

The Princess later accepted patronage of the NEI and paid an annual visit to Phang and the shelter every year. On these occasions she donated to the shelter and several other NEI concerns.

She subsequently adopted two more elephants, which shared her birthday, May 6. Phang Wanalee was born in 1997 and Phang Aleena in 2004.
