simply-thai.com - thai market - destination guides - Chiangmai Sight Seeing - Thai Elephants with their Manouts - Ironically ordinary elephants have become 'white elephants' to poor mahouts, who are no longer able to find work for their animals logging in the hills and have to abandon them. The abandoned beasts are unable to find sufficient open land and have been destroying crops. As a result, they are hunted and shot. Although numbering in their low thousands, only an estimated 15 baby elephants are born per year in the whole country. According to Dr. Preecha Phuangkham of the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre, the animal is facing the possibility of near extinction in Thailand within twenty years.
