One of those bull elephants needs the snip.

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. 

Chains on the feet of an elephant keeps an elephant behaving like a zombie for life.   See youtube's / elephantnews  to see how lively a free elephant can be.
