Lai has been working as the mahout at least 8 years as when I first started working at the camp about eight years ago, I saw Lai working as the secondary mahout of one tuskless elephant " Sridor Tadang" the handsome elephant at the camp. Then when the mahout of Pang Kod was assigned the new responsibility to train the young elephant at the Elephant Training School so Lai was assigned to take care of Pang Kod..

When I first worked at the camp I have learned and known that Pang Kod is very nervous elephant like she is afraid of dog, car even the falling leaf. And I realize that when I first handled the mahout training course I saw that the tourists in the training course are not allowed to ride the elephants back into the forest as all elephants are very nervous of every things that they heard. Then we tried to put the tourists to ride elephant half way to the forest and after that all elephants are familiar to the surrounding nature and tourists so they are okay to walk into the forest with the tourists on the neck.

Okay let talk about Pang Kod and her mahout!!! Now Pang Kod she is still very stubborn, every time she works in the mahout training course, she must have Jojo stays near her as Pang Kod She blindly loves Jojo. I think every realize that if they are on Jojo.. right???

Lai before working as the mahout, he used to be the soldier for two two and worked in Bangkok before. Lai he has an aunt working the moment as the mahout took Lai to work together at the camp so Lai becomes the mahout by luck at the camp so far..

Lai has a lot of sense of humor,  he always make all tourists smiles and laughing.. With good new of him is Lai just had little son as he was marriage very long time ago, but he did not have any baby. So a couple month ago Lai he is very happy that his wife gave first baby. So it makes Lai happier.. Congratulations Lai...
