The Elephant Walk name was contributed by co-founder Bob Perry's mother, Pat. First used as a title of a book by Robert Standish published in 1949 and later made into a classic “B” movie starring Elizabeth Taylor, Dana Andrews and Peter Finch, the story is a melodramatic love triangle set on a tea plantation on Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. The inspiration to use the name felt genuine because elephants have always been important in Cambodian culture and history, as beasts of burden and war widely portrayed in the intricate friezes throughout the temple complexes of Angkor Wat; white elephants were prized and kept in the royal court. There is an “Elephant” mountain range in Western Cambodia. The name was ultimately chosen because of its euphonic evocation of the romance of a bygone era in Southeast Asia when Cambodian and French culture were intertwined.
