Bangkok--27 May--Triangle Resort & Spa
A new little bundle of joy has brought a token of good luck to the delight of the on-site Elephant Camp at Anantara Golden Triangle Resort & Spa in Chiang Rai, Thailand.
The baby elephant was born at 4.10 am on the 23rd of May 2010, and was welcomed into the world with the nickname Nong 'Phil. The healthy baby boy weighed in at an estimated 100kg, standing 91cm tall at the shoulder and measuring 120cm from forehead to tail.
Named, as is tradition, by his mahouts and owners, Nong ‘Phil’s formal name is Plai Pa Choke, meaning “to bring luck”, and is seen by all as an extremely apt title in light of the nation’s current desire for healing and peace.
“Nong Phil is a great addition to the Anantara Elephant camp and perhaps we can say that his birth marks a new beginning for tourism in Thailand,” said Bill Heinecke, Founder and Chairman of the Minor Group. “His birth came just as the recent political turmoil ended and peace and tranquility returned to Bangkok.”
While Anantara’s resorts in Phuket, Koh Samui, Si Kao and Chiang Rai and Hua Hin were unaffected by the situation in the capital, its Bangkok based, Anantara Baan Rajprasong, has since reopened its doors and is once again welcoming overseas visitors to the Kingdom.
