Many elephants have been brought to receive medial treatment at the elephant hospital in Krabi province after they fell sick, possibly from eating mud and fruits and vegetables contaminated with toxic chemicals.

 

Benjatham Thaitham, a veterinarian at the Krabi elephant hospital, said that after the arrival of the rainy season many elephants have been brought by their mahouts for treatment.

 

About 10 pachyderms were brought to the hospital in May alone, she said. The elephants are for hauling logs and used in tourism promotion activities. Most of them suffer from flatulence and infections in the respiratory system.
