She spent her life giving rides to tourists in Thailand.
Her body was very weak, and even though she was safe and no longer working, she still kept collapsing.
Boon Lott's did everything in their power to keep Soa Noi comfortable in her final days.
Soa's elephant friend, Boon Thong, was very concerned throughout Soa's passing.
The two elephants had met at the sanctuary and bonded instantly.
In an amazing display of friendship and compassion, Boon stayed by Sao Noi's side as she passed.
Sao Noi fortunately passed away surrounded by those that loved her.
