Nong Nooch Tropical Garden invited its 2nd infant elephant of 2023. Park Director Kampol Tansajja commanded the April 20 true blessing event for the brand-new calf, called “Plai Chai”, with Phra Khru Kittisophon, abbot of Wat Samakkhi Banphot temple in Bang Saray.
Nong Nooch arranged an elephant-dancing parade to commemorate the April 9 birth. A flower garland was put the infant elephant’s head and it was sprayed with holy water. ” Plai Chai” is the offspring of cow “Pang Yok” and bull “Plai Ning Nong”. Both infant and mom were stated to be healthy.
Editor’s note: Pang and Plai are prefix names, utilized in Thailand for female and male elephants respectively.
