The beginning of April saw Deaw heading off for a 3 day 2 night trek into the jungle, this time with Josie and Arj from Australia. In addition to the usual challenges of the jungle- overgrown vines, routes that need to be macheted through and preparing food, April, being the hot,dry season throws in soaring temperatures too. However, both managed grandly and were still smiling on their arrival back at the hut so all was well.
Just this week Anne and Reid, braved the jungle that is the roads in Songkran traffic to come and visit the national park and take a day trip with us. Having rained the day before the temperatures were perfect and the animals all ready to perform. We had a great day spotting gibbons, snakes and 3 types of hornbill. The elpephants remained elusive but there was plenty of evidence of where they had been.
Speaking of elephants, unfortunately April has brought more news of elephants being killed in national parks of Thailand. The most recent being a pregnant female in Kaeng Krachin national park. They have lost two elephants in just this month. The reasons for killing them go further than jsut the ivory trade, although this is vertainly a factor. One key reason they are being poached, is for their young. There are not enough elephants being born in captivity to supply the elephant shows and elephant riding outfits, hence the young are taken from the wild. In order to take the young, they kill the mother. So please think very carefully when you choose what to visit and do on your trips to Thailand. Elephants are magnificent creatures, none more so when they can be seen free and in the wild.http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/345428/the-problem-with-elephants
