15 hours have passed already for the journey of San Mueang . It is not easy for the young boy to be on the truck.
San Mueang was taken from his mother and home when he was three years old. Since that time he has known only the zoo.
Darrick and his mahout are with San Mueang all the time trying to keep him calm and meet his needs.
In Thailand we are entering Monsoon time. Travel on this trip is accompanied by wind and heavy rain.
All are soaking wet. There are still long hours to go. We will have more story later.

Today, we also conducted an X-ray of her left hind leg, which seems to be problematic for her.

After a long journey in excess of 24 hours, with a soft sand bed ready, Namthip was able to sleep for possibly the first instance in her life, without chains on her legs. Sleeping freely, with no rope around her neck and no one stood over her giving orders, holding a hook, or making threats.
