Sai Yok is the name of a town near Kanchanaburi.
BORN: in a trekking camp on Feb 26 2018, in Sai Yok.
BACKGROUND : When his mom Boyok gave birth to Sai Yok, their owner decided they would like to find a peaceful place for them both and decided to bring both to us in April 2018, when Sai Yok was just 2 months old !
Facts about him:
Don’t be fooled by the cute looks, young elephants are as smart as they are cheeky. Even if they have that face you want to squeeze and cuddle… he will squeeze harder !
Very much like our human children, they are very playful, they will splash in water
, snorkel
, mock-charge, etc. to develop their physical and social skills. They are also always looking for the next naughty thing to do and always testing the limits.
How to recognise him: of course by his little size, but also by his sweet growing tusks, which also indicate that he is a male !
