COVID-19 ENDS MY DREAM POSTING – FOR NOW
by Volunteer Alexandra Chiarella
The day before I left my Thai home in Phang Nga Elephant Park I went to Krabi to visit P’Ben (one of the Park’s wonderful former employees). I felt very emotional. As I left the drive into the Park I saw P’Lek’s daughter Prow return to the Park with young Kacha who had been in hospital for the previous few days, thankfully not with COVID-19, and was now fully recovered. I am so glad I got to see him again before I left.
Hopefully I can return in the near future to see my friends, Thai family, and the beautiful elephants. I feel so lucky to have experienced Thai culture, I have learnt so much. Thank you, Phang Nga Elephant Park.
