Virus Outbreak Thailand
The elephant that starred in the movie "Tom Yam Goong" with his owner and trainer. The elephant was returned to his original owner from Chiang Mai zoo following the COVID-19 outbreak in Thailand. On June 29, 2021 in Surin, Thailand. Thailand has been closed to international tourism for over a year due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Most elephant camps in tourist destinations around the country had to close down and the elephants have now been forced to return home to their original owners. While "elephant tourism" is in itself controversial, at home the animals face an uncertain future, as often they are the only source of income for the families who own them.
