Information
Ta Klang villagers are descendants of the Suay or Kuay Ethnic group, who have a gift in capturing, training and keeping elephants. In the past, villagers captured wild elephants from the Thailand-Cambodia border. Today, uncertain political situations disallows them to capture any more elephants. However, Ta Klang people still keep and train elephants to join the elephant round-up in the village. Unlike northern Thailand where elephants are kept for labour, Ta Klang people consider elephants as their friends who can share the same house.
