Preeyanoot and her mother come along from Chiang Mai to the Elephant Hospital about two year ago as they are needed experienced mahouts and vet to take care as Preeyanoot is the first baby of this mother..

Nowaday Preeyanoot is very healthy elephant, but she is not as naughty as Khelang our 9 months old baby elephant of Singha Khon..

I went to the Elephant Hospital at 15:00 Pm. to visit Khun Chai after water therapy, I found many people were taking care of Khun Chai, some give him sweet corns and some give Khun Chai balm on his skin.. Khun Chai looks very happy and seems he really want to walk and with those people.. Several people has shed their tears because of Khun Chai's suffer in the past.. But now we have a little hope on his survival.

I found Khun Chai loves to eat sweet corn and fed by girl.. :P he is real mojo..

Shot these photo set this evening while Khelang was playing around her mother and waited for some tourist to visit her and feed her with Yummy banana.. I spent over 120 Baht to buy her bananas and it seems not enough for her.. If any one want to feed this lovely elephant, please plan your trip to visit the camp within one and half year as she will be separated from her mother when she is about two and half or three year..

These photo set was taken yesterday while the mahouts at the Elephant Hospital were helping each other to move Khun Chai to the therapy pool. Every day Khun Chai will have water therapy at 14:00 Pm. We wish this could help him to be better even we have tiny hope on his survival, we will try our best to help him..

Every time I go to the Elephant Hospital, I feel very sad as Khun Chai 's condition as I was told by the vet that Khun Chai has one of his back leg broken as his bone really lack of calcium and that bone is really weak and it could not carry his weigh so what are the vets going to do is to put the cast on the leg of elephant..

On this pictures was taken several day ago as Khun Chai hold the hand of our staff who really loves this elephant, she told me that yesterday was her day off, she kept call the mahout of Khun Chai to ask him how Khun Chai is.. I am one of person who love this elephant as he is really like human being..He needs some one to be with him, especially girls :P

Today Khun Chai has x ray program on the bone of his back legs.... Since he was really sick several people at the camp shed their tears as they took pity  on this lovely elephant.

It 's pretty funny that Khun Chai he loves all woman who come around him and I think he like to be with them and feel very warm.. I wish that he will get better and then he can walk to the showground some day..
