Comments / pictures

Shipped from Thailand to Denmark with the ship M/S Sinaloa.

During a state visit to Thailand in 1962, King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid were presented with the two elephants Chieng Mai and Buag Hah.

The late Danish king Frederik IX wrote a handwritten letter the 29th of January 1962 to the chairman of the board of the Copenhagen Zoo, Dr. Böje Benzon, with the following content:

Dr Böje Benzon
As You know, I was honored with the gift of three elephant babies in Thailand; when the first arrives i dont know, but I would like to ask You if I may deponate them in Zoologisk Have. The youngest and last one is only seven months old, so I doubt that he comes within the nest two years. The other two, I believe, comes within two months.
With best greetings to Your wife,
Yours sincerely
Frederik


Buag Hah was euthanised caused by general weakness. During post mortum it was discovered she had a four year old fetus in her Uterus.

Buag Hah has an American SSP number because of her daughter Schottzie, sold to the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio in December 1978 at the age of three. She is not listed in the studbook.
