Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
I grew up in the USA. I do not like rice or noodles. My ethnicity is Korean. I love Baseball, college football and hate KPOP. I speak some Korean. Bottom line is most Thai people are confused to as to who or what i am. When I speak English like a white foreigner it sometimes makes them feel uneasy. They look at me like somekind of weirdo that they have never encountered. If I spoke broken English like many Asian foreigners it would put them at ease. Being an Asian has never been a plus for me because I am who I am. Most Thai people don't understand who I am. Frankly I don't care what Thai people think about me. -

Thailand Introduces Groundbreaking Mountain Rescue Training for Elephants
In a first for Thailand, elephants from the renowned “Saen Family” are being trained in mountain rescue operations to assist in disaster relief efforts in remote and inaccessible areas. The innovative training program aims to prepare elephants for challenging scenarios where traditional medical and rescue teams cannot easily reach. The training involves three elephants from the Saen Family Elephant Sanctuary in Mae Taeng District, Chiang Mai: Plai Saen Thap, Plai Valentine, and Plai Ngam. These highly skilled elephants, known for their strength and prior experience in timber hauling, are now being equipped with unique rescue skills. This collaboration is led by Isara Thailand, the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation, and the mahouts at the Saen Family Sanctuary, under the guidance of Phra Khru Sangkarak Weerawat Veerawatthano (Ajarn Odd) of Wat Chedi Luang, who supports the sanctuary. This new “Mountain Rescue” course follows Thailand’s earlier success in pioneering water rescue training for elephants. According to Nan Chaiyachet Phadsee, President of Isara Thailand, the mountain rescue program is designed to address emergencies such as forest accidents or cases of hikers getting lost in the wilderness. When fallen trees or debris block rescue routes, elephants can step in to clear paths and evacuate victims. The program requires a minimum of three elephants to work as a team: 1. Path-Clearing Elephant: Opens routes and removes obstacles. 2. Evacuation Elephant: Carries injured individuals on its back. 3. Support Elephant: Transports additional victims or carries emergency medical supplies. Initial training sessions have shown that elephants adapt well, displaying calmness and cooperation throughout the process. The elephants’ natural strength, combined with their ability to navigate rugged terrain, makes them an ideal resource for rescue operations in areas where modern vehicles or helicopters cannot operate. Ajarn Odd personally selected Plai Saen Thap, Plai Valentine, and Plai Ngam for their physical capabilities and prior work experience. Their training marks a groundbreaking effort to integrate elephants into mountain rescue, combining the expertise of wildlife rescue trainers and local mahouts. Chiang Mai, a hub for eco-tourism, often attracts nature enthusiasts who explore its forests and mountains. With an increasing number of accidents in remote areas, the trained elephants from the Saen Family will provide a crucial first-response option, potentially saving lives before victims are transported to emergency medical services.
