School pleads for help from intruding wild elephants

 

 

The management of a school in Tha Takiap district of Chachoengsao has called on authorities concerned to come to their rescue from wild elephants which, they said, might harm both students and teachers.

 

The plea followed a recent incident when about 40 wild elephants broke into the compound of Ang Sua Dam school in Tambon Klong Takrao apparently to search for food and water.

 

The elephants broke through a section of the school wall and caused damages to a water tank and pipes and trees, but did not harm anybody in the school.

Probably Cambodian elephants. Thai elephants would never do this.

I know the schools are underfunded but this is ridiculous. Did the elephants agree to help?

Where Thai education is concerned best deal with the Elephant in the room than the one outside.

The following text was copied from the above article link.

"Officials of Khao Ang Rue Nai wildlife sanctuary have been contacted by the school’s management to mete out measures to prevent the elephants from breaking into the school".

 

Excuse me for asking what is probably a stupid question as I have never been to the park or school: - Which was there first, is the school built within the sanctuary ?
