13th March National Thai Elephant Day

National Elephant Day is all about raising awareness of the endangered Asian Elephant. The elephants and people were blessed and Arjarn Daeng and enjoyed a special feast of treats.

Thailand Queen's Birthday and Mothers Day and Worlds Elephant Day!

Wednesday August 12 is going to be a very special day again! As Thailand's Queen, Somdet Phra Nang Chao Sirikit Phra Borommarachininat will celebrate her Birthday. Then Thailand will also celebrate Mothers Day and it is Worlds Elephants Day! Of course everybody is welcome to join us in Ayutthaya for this occasion.

New Elephant IDs

We are very proud to be issued the new national Elephant Identification papers. Due to our founder, Laithongrien (Pi Om) Meepan’s vision and efforts, the government adopted his idea for a centralized system that ensures all legal elephants are issued with these comprehensive ID’s that act as a passport and will be used to monitor ownership, all travel and even bull elephant's ivory! In recognition of Pi Om’s invaluable knowledge and contribution to the new system, the government used the same elephant as we do for the design. The colour pink is the official colour of the King of Thailand. This new computerized centralized system will certainly impact the illegal trade, capture and use of wild elephants and the illegal ivory trade. New born elephants will need to be registered within 30 days of birth which will also help to protect all elephants.
