Dear Akiko,
I think you may miss your first elephant  " Pang Yom"  at Thai Elephant Conservation Center. Now she was back to the camp about one year ago, and last time you might not see her, because you are with Prachaub. As Pang Yom was in Chiang Rai Province in the pilot project of big hotel in building big camp their, when the mission was finished. Pang Yom has to come back to her home and her friends is Thai Elephant Conservation Center. When she was their we all missed her, because Pang Yom is very very lovely elephant ever. As the most gentle, cleverest, loveliest, sweetest and greatest elephant of the camp, Pang Yom she had at least 6 baby elephants in her life. When she is at her stable, she just stand still, keep flapping her eye and move her tail, she never move when she is there. Now Pang Yom is about 62 years old and still looking like 20  years old. She still working as the taxi elephant with her friend and sometimes we use her for the training course as well. Why she still works at 60 years old? Because Pang Yom she is very healthy elephant and she could live up 80 years old as my opinion, because sometime healthy elephants could live up to 80 years old if they have very good digestion system.

 I just want to give and present this video for Akiko and all you guy to enjoy some video of this elephant in the morning as we picked the elephant in the morning the three day mahout training course a couple day ago and Pang Yom is  one of elephant in the training course.
