Chang Yim growing up happily
Chang Yim entertains the ENP visitors every day. In the afternoon many people are following Chang Yim’s adventures from the viewing bridge in the park. Together with Faa Mai he is running around the park, looking for new games and tricks to enjoy. Like chasing the new elephant Rara, or playing in the sand bath with all the youngsters. Chang Yim has his own mahout now, Mong, and they became close friends. Mong has a lot of experience with baby elephants, so he knows exactly how to deal with the naughty Chang Yim. They play with each other, and while playing Mong taught Chang Yim many commands already. Chang Yim is learning even faster than Faa Mai. But he’s still a bit wild, and very naughty. Often he is just running around and chasing everybody near him. Except Mong. He’s growing so fast that soon he will be too strong to control easily. He tries his strenght with many other elephants, like the two year old Thong Tae. But if he get scared of something, he runs to his mother Dok Ngeon for protection. Chang Yim loves his aunt Malai Thong, who always keeps an eye on him. At night Chang Yim sleeps often besides Malai Thong, because she is much more calm than his own mother. The huge snoring Malai Thong, with Chang Yim safely curling up against her… so beautiful.
