Shot this photo set this evening while Khun Chai was laying down on the floor without any body around as we have been spend a whole day watching him and all mahouts and vet are resting and look for other thing to help this elephant to become normal, but our dream was fading if this elephant could not get up and stand..
It has been over a month that Khun Chai shows that he is getting worse since swollen back legs and I saw the vet talked with the mahout of Khun Chai and I found out that Khun Chai has swollen and he did not move, he only stood at the same area for long time and they said he did want to lay down as he knew that he might not be able to get up. Then a couple day ago I found that Khun Chai laid down on the floor and try to get up while his mahout was away from the camp as day off. Khun Chai seemed that he misses his mahout every single of minute and yesterday this mahout came back to work and when Khun Chai first meet his mahout in the mahout, he is very happy and tried to get up and stay with him as this mahout always takes care of Khun Chai every day such as at 09:00 Am the mahout will cook boiled rice and mixed with calcium and give it to his beloved elephant and then he took his elephant for morning walk to the showground to meet other elephant.. On the way to the showground Khun Chai would meet the tourists who come to visit the camp early morning and many of them took the photo with Khun Chai and seem he was loving it..
In the past I did not want to add this sad story on the website as it would brought many people tears. Now I feel so sad to see that he is suffering from poor body.. I will update more photos of Khun Chai tomorrow...
