Thai New Year Holiday – Office hours

Sat 12 Apr 14
Elephant Nature Park

Happy Thai New Year to you all.

Just a note to thank you for your support over the past year.

Our office is closed between 12-15 April so we will attend to all email enquiries when we return on the 16th April.

You can still make any future booking via our automated system which books and confirms available places for all of our projects.

We hope that your enjoy the crazy time that we call Songkran (Thai New Year). I would say “keep dry” but that is not really an option at this time of year.

If you do not know what I mean …… well … you soon will.

Namthip is receiving medical attention at Elephant Nature Park

Although NamThip is finally in her new sanctuary home, her health issues are quite pronounced. Our veterinary team promptly conducted further detailed health checks on her, including additional blood tests, stool sampling, and urine checks. Today, we also conducted an X-ray of her left hind leg, which seems to be problematic for her.

Namthip settles into the sanctuary of Elephant Nature Park

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.
