Considered bringers of luck in Thailand, elephants are an integral part of national culture. However, their population has been decreasing for years now. That's why a hospital was created to heal them and take care of them.
The world’s only elephant hospital has operated in the north of the country for the past 20 years. The Thai royal family has its own herd. But that has not stopped the elephant population falling year after year in this country and elsewhere in Asia. In 1993, a woman founded the first hospital and refuge for sick and wounded elephants, the first of its kind in the world.
