Activities of Thai Elephant Alliance Association

We had sent Pineapple Fronds to elephants in Surin and Burirum. This is our 4th round of helping elephants in Thailand!

We thank all of our donors and sponsors for helping elephants!

We thank you Freewill Inc. for their donation in buying 15,000 KG of Napier Grass saplings. We hope that these will grow into the main staple diet for over 140 elephants soon!

We traveled with the Center of Elephant and Wildlife Research Team from Chiang Mai Univeristy to see an elephant with broken tushes. Pang Sri Kaew had broken both of her tushes (female Asian Elephant's tusk) and they are inflamed and exuded purulent discharge. We learned that the mahout was very attentive and was often called to see other sick elephants, so we gave him a medical box with supplies.

We thank you our donors and sponsors for helping us in taking care of elephants.

Case 2
A pair of mother elephant and her calf were nearby. The calf was about 6 months old and it was very thin. The mahout told us that the mother doesn't produce a lot of milk, and when we closely examined her, we found that she had very small breasts.

We told the mahout that he would have to help with providing food for the mother elephants; banana tree flower, ripe banana, sugarcanes, pellets and most important of all bring her to drink water as often as he can. If the mother is well, the calf will be well!

We thank you to all the donors and sponsors, and specially thanks Baanchang Elephant Park
, ปางช้างแม่แตง Maetaeng Elephant Park & Clinic
, Into The Wild Elephant Camp
and Patara Elephant Farm

Our trip

We went to Ban Huay Bong, another village where the elephants had gone home. The owner brought us to see his elephants with the wounds on its back. He had treated the elephant for months now, but he wasn't sure if it is better or not. Healing process in elephant is slow and needed a pair of trained eyes to examine.

We asked the mahout to bath his elephant and the team get busied, scrubbing the dead tissue and taught the mahout the method of scrubbing and cleaning thoroughly. The elephant lived on a soil-base substrate, hence it will be difficult to stay clean most of the time, but we hope the next time we meet, the wound would be better.

We thank to all of our donors and sponsors, and specially thanks to Baanchang Elephant Park
, ปางช้างแม่แตง Maetaeng Elephant Park & Clinic
