Comments / pictures

Orichai was 4 years old when he arrived to the park in the month of April with his Mahout Kaeng, who is Karen (Karen Hill tribe). Orichai moved to the park without his Mahout (Kaeng) but would not listen to any of other Mahouts, so we had to bring Kaeng to the park and reunite the two. Orichai has many talents that he and his Mahout Kaeg have honed over time into a nice array of skills. Orichai is one of our first painters and is excellent in football. Orichai is 15 years old and has not had his first musk yet, however in about 3 years Orichai will come into his first musk. Orichai’s mom is called Mae Noi. Mae Noi worked in the logging camp near Mae Hong Son on the border with Burma.
