Officials are stepping up measures to keep track of two lovable rogue elephants who occasionally have a brush with locals in a community in Hua Hin.

 

The elephants known as “Plai Boonchuay” and “Plai Boonmee” have been known to disturb people and damage property and farmland in the Huai Sat Yai sub district in Hua Hin, close to the Kaeng Krachan National Park.

 

On Tuesday (Mar 1), Pichai Watcharawongpaiboon, director of the Third Conservation Area Administration Office in Phetchaburi said that staff at the national park had put collars on the elephants.

 

The collars, complete with GPS, can track the movements of the elephants and report their location every six hours.

A much nicer way to deal with elephants in Thailand. Much better than the local population shooting them to death.
