Elephant to receive personal donation from Queen

Thailand’s monarchy is extremely popular and is supported by virtually every on of its citizenry. His majesty the King just celebrated his 80th birthday and his 60th year as King. The Queen as well is revered and has donated much of her time to humanitarian projects and has organized events around the world promoting the talents of the Thai people.

Her majesty the Queen’s latest graceful gesture is to donate 300,000 baht to the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre in Lampang province in northern Thailand. The money will go to support a month-old baby elephant whose mother is incapable of producing milk to feed it.

The 300,000 baht comes form the Queen’s personal fund, and will help to buy milk powder for the baby along with 400,000 baht already donated by the public.

The TECC is responsible for the responsible care of many elephants in northern Thailand, and is a cause worthy of support. The centre accepts visitors who wish to donate their time to the care of neglected elephants as well.
