snoop1130 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Everything is ready for the historic flight home from Sri Lanka of Sak Surin, an ailing Thai elephant, after about two decades away from home. According to Sittidet Mahasawangkul, a veterinarian at the Forest Industry Organisation (FIO), this will be the first time that a Thai elephant will be flown back to Thailand on board a Russian-made IL-76 transport plane. On board the chartered flight will be the pilot, co-pilot, nine crew and five passengers, including three FIO mahouts, one Sri Lankan mahout from Dehiwala Zoo in Colombo and one Thai veterinarian. #news Full Story: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/everything-ready-for-ailing-thai-elephants-arrival-from-sri-lanka-on-july-2nd/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2023-06-30 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post connda Posted June 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2023 Is anyone asking for a few million THB to take care of this one. Really. Thailand needs state funded elephant reserves. These should be national treasures and as such nationalized. Elephants should not be used to attract capital for non-profits. They need to be wilded. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully none will use the airport's walkways. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can invest money on humans too. It's not one thing or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
