Thailand’s Department of National Parks (DNP), Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) published photos of a herd of wild elephants feeding and playing in the mud at Namnao national park on Friday. The picture shows the herd, comprising a leader with young and baby elephants, enjoying each other’s company.

 

The DNP said that it wanted the public to see the richness of the area and how wildlife is important to the natural balance. “By seeing the beautiful wildlife, the public will grow fond of Thailand’s natural resources and want to protect them” said the DNP.

 

Nam Nao was designated as one of Thailand’s national parks in 1972. The area covers 1,000 km² in the mountainous forests of the provinces of Phetchabun and Chaiyaphum in Thailand’s northeastern region.

Speaking from experience, you can occasionally see at night a lone elephant, or a herd of elephants, alongside route 12 as it traverses Nam Nao National Park between Lomsak and Chum Phae.
