Tomi Yum is a true local. She grew up in Chiang Mai and is proud of her community. She loves being outdoors and tries to inspire her humans as they work diligently on various projects. She insists on being assertive and involved in everyone's business so she can be in the loop on all things.

She loves her baby toy elephant, running through grass, playing with her human friends and chasing butterflies.

Please note, if she gives you an uninvited kiss or lick, you may contact our Human Resources department to file an official harassment report.
