Thai govt. moves to bring back from Lanka two gifted elephants
October 25, 2025
|The Island
The Thai government is set to hold talks with Sri Lanka next week (28) to bring back two elephants that were gifted by Thailand, following reports of poor living conditions and alleged mistreatment.
-
Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE), Suchart Chomklin, wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday (23) that he plans to fly urgently to Sri Lanka amid growing concerns about the welfare of the two Thai elephants, Plai Pratu Pha and Plai Srinarong.
Concerns were first raised last year by the Reclaim Thai Elephant group. The group's coordinator, Yuwanuch Kiattiwong, together with 50 members, visited the MONRE to submit an official letter urging the government to take action over the elephants' poor living conditions.

Barometer confirms window for political settlement
Once again, Sri Lanka is at a crossroads. After decades of missed opportunities and delayed reforms, the conditions are there for a lasting political resolution of the ethnic conflict. The NPP government has the chance to resolve the country’s longest and most divisive conflict through Sri Lankan institutions, on its own terms. The government holds a two-thirds majority in parliament that allows it to amend the constitution and introduce the reforms that past governments promised but failed to deliver. It came to power on the back of a popular demand for system change, and the public expectation that followed that election was not for minor adjustments but for a deep restructuring of the state. The opposition is neither strong nor dominated by the racist and extremist voices that in the past sabotaged every attempt at reconciliation.

How to avoid falls
Falls are one of the most common threats to the health and independence of older adults. They can turn an ordinary day into a frightening experience with painful consequences that go far beyond bruises. A fall can lead to broken bones, a long hospital stay and the loss of confidence needed to move about freely. The good news is that many falls are not a part of normal ageing and simple measures can greatly reduce the risk.
