A Siamese and societal chronicle by Patrick Chesneau
Extracting elephants from muddy waters. Pluck them from the often putrid cesspool caused by flooding. In Chiang Mai an epic of life or death is played out.
In a national surge, Thailand comes to the aid, on an unprecedented scale, of its favorite animal.
Its emblem.
Saving dozens and dozens of disoriented pachyderms, caught up in the sometimes tumultuous waves, caught at the last minute while drifting…. Promethean task for rescuers.
On the verge of exhaustion, they try with the energy of despair to overcome enormous technical and logistical difficulties. Size of affected animals requires.
I consider these volunteers to be the true heroes of these very gloomy and perilous days. The behemoths know it. Intuitively, they rely on humans.
Today, they are right. A pact is sealed between the Thais and the people of the colossi.
