This will surely amaze and delight audience members. The baby elephants will be trained to perform their musical numbers at the national celebration of HM the King’s birthday on December 5th.Mrs. Pattanant Khantisukaphan, Nong Nooch Tropical Garden General Manager, explained that the music project was initiated and established by Dr. Kampol Tansajja to focus on children’s quality of life and welfare and to lead the children under his tutelage to spend their time positively during the long school break by attending this music activity at Nong Nooch Tropical Garden. The kids will be rewarded with a stipend. The kids will be recognized for their accomplishments and will learn how to spend their time more productively not only during the school break, but also during the school year.
