Tourists and officials save injured turtle Kamkaew

 

Tourists at Mae Khaeng Luang Waterfall helped save an injured turtle, Kamkaew, after discovering it with a cracked shell and tail wounds. They quickly alerted park officials, who transported Kamkaew to a veterinary clinic over 80 kilometers away in Phrae City. After visiting multiple clinics, they found a specialist who treated Kamkaew’s injuries with antibiotics, pain relief, and a temporary shell repair. The turtle’s condition was not life-threatening but required care. The park and veterinary team’s efforts were praised on social media, with plans to monitor Kamkaew’s recovery until it can return to the wild.
