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..

Thursday, Feb 2, 2012 → Khelang and bananas..

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..

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..

Thursday, Feb 2, 2012 → Khun Chai real poor baby elephant at the hospital..

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...
