    sometimes you have to wait : by mohanad, Views[182]
         		 Scarred for life. A swollen and damaged foot on a baby elephant is the result of stepping into an animal trap. The tissue damage is so great, veterinarians are not certain they could intervene surgically to reduce the swelling. This elephant has a hard time walking and running, constantly dragging his larger than normal foot around. Fortunately, he was rescued by Lek Chailert and now resides at Elephant Animal Park were he receives plenty of love and care and a life free of abuse. : by carolinas, Views[292]
         		 A symbol of hope. Lek Chailert reached out to Thai monks in a effort to save the forests for the declining number of elephants in Thailand. In an effort to protect these few and precious lands, Buddhist monks place sacred flags on trees to help prevent deforestation and preserve elephant natural habitats. : by carolinas, Views[460]
         		 A lifetime of slavery and mistreatment for working elephants in Ayutthaya. An adult male stays in a tight space for hours and waiting to take tourists on a ride around town while his mahout takes a nap on his back. In the background an elephant struggling to stand, stays in a sitting position for more than an hour surrounded by soiled floors while the crowds turn a blind eye and enjoy the show. : by carolinas, Views[258]
         		 A 3 year old orphan elephant was rescued after being help captive and losing his mother after a few weeks of being born. He is smaller in size than a normal elephant his age and because of a life of trauma and abuse, he lacks simple skills as placing food in his mouth without constantly dropping it. Only a few weeks at Elephant Nature Park, he found an adoptive mother 'Nanny' that teaches him how to peal a banana and eat it for the first time. : by carolinas, Views[323]

         		 Where forests grow now was a barren landscape of slash and burn opium farmland as far as the eye only twenty years ago. Despite the relative peace now, local rumours of continued nightly traffic across the mountains remain. Tribesmen and gardners charged with replanting the Northern Thai-Myanmar border remain afraid to go outside at night. : by doitung, Views[636]
         		 Before 1988 this border with Myanmar lay completely under the control of drugs cartells based in the Burmese jungle. This view is taken through the bamboo bars of the Thai army´s border outpost. Since the Princess Mother began her initiatives in Thailand´s Doitung mountain community, drugs trafficking has greatly decreased and the border is quiet.: by doitung, Views[564]
         		 The Akha tribe´s grandparents often care for their grandchildren while parents work in local factories set up by Thailand´s Royal Family to combat a lack of legitimate alternatives to the opium production industry once rife in the area. Not one generation before, the Northern tribes had been completely in the grips of the poppy. Old faces bear the scars of this strenous past.: by doitung, Views[625]
     
    Family ties are strong in the Lahu community. The villages are remote and often inaccessible to the outside during the rainy season. Since Thailand´s Princess Mother moved to the area in 1988, the area has become more open to the outside world.: by doitung, Views[410]

         		 HIV is a taboo subject inthe remote communities of Northern Thailand, but a big problem. Many of the tribes´ young people travel to Thailands big cities to work and end up falling into the tourist sex trade. Local hospitals take every opportunity to collect all the blood donations they can. This blood drive took place at celebrations for the Princess Mother´s birthday at the Chiang Rai Culture Centre, where such personal sacrifices are viewed as a respected gift.: by doitung, Views[504]
