Virus Outbreak Thailand
Elephants are taken for a bath in the village of Ban Taklang. Most elephants employed by the tourism industry were forced to return to their original owners, after the COVID-19 outbreak forced the closure of the camps that employ them. 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.
