The Thai media has reported that the delegation led by Mrs. Kanchana Silpa Archa is working to investigate the health status of the other two elephants that Thailand gave to Sri Lanka.
The Thai media has indicated that the delegation has confirmed that the elephant donated to a temple in Kataragama is in good health, and that the elephant donated to a temple in Kandy has been taken to another place. But the PBS World website has reported that the delegation has taken time to check the health status of the elephant donated to the temple.
The website has indicated that Thailand donated this elephant to Sri Lanka in 1979. PBS World website has stated that the temple delegation has been informed that the elephant was taken to another place due to health reasons.
However, the PBS World website has indicated that unofficial sources have informed the Thai delegation that they have taken arrangements to take these elephants to another place for fear of taking them back to Thailand.
The Thai authorities have stated that Muthu Raja’s health condition is generally good after arriving in Thailand, and that Muthu Raja’s wounds need to be cleaned every day. The Thai authorities have indicated that after a 30-day quarantine period, an X-ray examination of the front verse of Muthu Raja is required.
Due to the weight of Muthu Raja, the injuries on the front verse may have an impact in the later period. The doctor who is doing the treatment has stated that the Thai authorities have informed the general public not to be deceived by the fraudulent aid programs implemented by fraudsters on social media claiming to be for Muthu Raja.
