The Elephant Keeper
(Khon Liang Chang)

by Chatri CHARLEM YUKOL

le gardien d'éléphant

In the north of Thailand, from where most of the World’teak wood comes, Boonsong has just been discharged by a sanctioned timber company which no longer required the use of his elephant. Boon- song’s livliehood has always been linked to his elephant, which is virtually considered as a member of the family. So essential is his elephant that Boonsong even borrows money from Hok, a corrupt Chinese businessman, to buy special medicine for the animal. Hok turns out to be the main investor behind the illegal operation.
