Suan Nong Nuch celebrates birth of eight baby elephants in six months

By The Nation

 

 

Pattaya’s famous Suan Nong Nuch attraction hosted a celebration yesterday to mark its achievement in having the most baby elephants born within six months in the past decade.

 

Eight baby chang have been born at the park and another four elephants are pregnant and expected to give birth soon.

 

The site owner invited Wat Samakkee Banphot abbot Phrakru Kasem Kittisopon along with Sattahip district chief Noraset Sritapasso and Suan Nong Nuch Pattaya head Kampol Tansajja to join a colourful elephant parade yesterday morning.

 

The elephants and the eight babies were presented at the parade. 

 

The abbot blessed the eighth baby elephant, born on June 15, and named it Phang Sophee. 

 

The park has a total of 80 elephants.

Good luck there are people like Kampol Tansajja who understood the word  "Thai Heritage".

Without big breeding programmes under the auspicious leadership of governmental experts breathing down Kampol's neck it seems that the elephants are happy in their environment given the fact that so many offsprings are in residence now. 

Yes, Kampol is doing it for the benefit of his Suan Nong Nuch Garden and it costs THB 200 to get access to this beautiful compound of hundred thousands of manicured garden and nurseries but it is also to the benefit of us and the next generation.
