The (new) Koh Chang Photo Pages

Elephant Calves at Baan Chang Thai Elephant Camp, Klong Prao, Koh Chang

Please visit the camp and meet the elephants not simply to take photos of the calves, but to learn more about them and watch the interaction between a new mother and her offspring. If you enjoy this unique experience, please remember to make a contribution to their upkeep so that the breeding program can continue to be successful.   The mothers are unable to work for several months after giving birth and so the mahouts rely on donations to pay for their and their elephants food.

Baby 1 - Born on 6 August 2007

Stills from the VCD of the above baby's birth are below. It took 5 minutes of massaging and CPR from mahouts before it started breathing on its own.

Baby 2 - born on 12 August

Baby 3 - born on 23 August
