webfact Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Ayutthaya Elephant Palace to be relocated for landscape improvement Ayutthaya Historical Park has sent a written notice to Ayutthaya Elephant Palace, located on Pa Ton road in the historical park in Ayutthaya Province, to vacate the area within 30 days to allow for preparations for improvement of the park’s landscape. Today, the elephants, keepers and mahouts are still providing services to tourists visiting the park, but they are reported to be somewhat sad. Mr. Laithongrient Meephan, owner of the Elephant Palace, said he is concerned that employees and elephants will be affected by the eviction because they have been there for over 20 years and earn a living for their families, adding that 83 baby elephants have been born and sheltered there without financial support from the government.
