Her official name is Pang Sompong and she was born in 1965 in the
North Eastern area of Thailand. Her mother is an ex-elephant logging
from the North sold to traders in to North-east. After she gave birth
the mother elephant could not work at logging and was bought to stay at
home and pick up a little work from the local village. They hired her
mother to be a part of functions such as marriages or Buddhist
ceremonies. She was moved to the busy streets of the city to make money
from tourists and residents.
