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.

Samut Prakan Police Hunt Culprits in Vile Blood and Faeces Attack
Picture courtesy: Daily News Samut Prakan police are investigating a shocking incident after a resident reported that unknown assailants hurled bags containing blood and faeces at his home late on 25 November 2024. Pol Lt Col Pachara Nophatthansawat, an investigator at Muang Samut Prakan Police Station, received the report from 32-year-old Mr. Parinya Kraikittanaron, a resident of Soi Suhrai in Bang Mueang subdistrict. Mr. Parinya, who lives with his mother, discovered the vile act when loud thuds outside prompted him to check his property. Upon arrival at the scene, officers found three plastic bags, approximately 5x7 inches, containing unidentified blood. The blood had splattered across the front yard, staining the area red. Near the front door, another bag containing faeces, still intact, was discovered. However, a lack of nearby CCTV cameras has complicated initial investigations. Mr. Parinya stated he had no disputes with anyone but noted ongoing tensions in the neighbourhood related to a local business boiling kratom leaves. Residents, including himself, had previously lodged complaints about the strong odour with local media and authorities. The matter is under review by Bang Mueang Municipality officials. Picture courtesy: Daily News Police are working on the theory that the attack could be linked to these grievances. Provincial Police Commander Pol Maj Gen Wichit Boonchinwutthikul has ordered investigators to gather intelligence and review any available surveillance footage to track down the perpetrators swiftly. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward as they aim to resolve this disturbing case and hold those responsible accountable, reported Daily News. -- 2024-11-26 -
