#Thailand #Elephant #SriLanka
Thank you thank you thank you Thailand for savingthe innocent animal.
What a beautiful boy!!!!
Poor thing 😢 you can tell at the end it’s happy to be in a better place but the scars will forever remain.
This is whats happening to srilanka by the politicians. Even the other ppl are suffering worse. They dont have anything to eat.
They are trying to sell everything off gather money and will go away. And the ppl and the animals will pray the price
The condition of this poor elephant keep release in Thai news, and it break my heart.
Shame on the Sri Lankans responsible for the care of this animal.
It is very ugly to give a gift and ask for it again
It’s uglier to cripple and abuse an animal.
Thailand, the nation that abuses elephants on a massive scale, is now attempting to show off. Sri Lankans are more compassionate towards animals than Thais.

@@lasini644 an animal that has been giving as a gift between nation means dignity, peace, and soft power between those nations. your lack of worldly understanding is a testament of your insight. and your lack of empathy to a big animal that developed high intelligence, is a solid proof of why it must be taken back from Sri Lanka.
Welcome back home 🐘 🇹🇭
I wish our 2 more elephants which still remains in Sri Lanka go back to our my homelands. I can’t accept what the monks had done and abused our elephants. I am very happy that one in three turns back home now. ❤❤❤
Stop abusing the elephants. The Buddha teaches us to have loving-kindness,compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity but what they have done is the opposite ways. The Buddha teaches us to understand the truth of life, to practice to emptiness not the attachment.
The monks required these elephant to get back to Sri Lanka again after the treatment. I disagree and can’t accept this. I protest to this requirement.
Bring back all our elephants to our homelands.
I’m sure Thai government won’t send him back, instead they will try to pull two elephants who still remain in Sri Lanka back to Thailand.
Shame on you
@UC3V9ZOlSXMi4hy2SrJDDbZQhat shame do you talking about? Where are you from anyway? We Thais. Those elephants we sent as embassador for the two coutry. If we know they are sick and in poor condition and Srilanka's government can't cure and take care of them. We please to take them back to cure and give them reward for working hard for coutry and give them good retire 's life. If any of embassador that we sent was take good care of and in good condition. We really glad for that and thankfully to caretaker. I know from news, government pay nearly 19million Thai baht expense to take Suksurin back to cure him. If any of them there are sick and in this condition we Thais want to help them too. That what we should do to our own relative. You may not know much about Thai. We all feel bless even wild elephant give us new born one. I quite under stand the owner of Saksurin too. May be they lack of money to cure him. Like this Saksurin risk to be blind on his right eyes. Be cause he has eye cataract. His front right knee can't bend. Another 2 side of abscess can be cure. If Sri Lanka want to take him back. What to do if he back to this condition again or just let him die. And what about 19 million Baht of transport expense? As I know when we send them we also transport them to Sri Lanka government. I saw from another clip the elephant that sent to Sri Lanka same time is in the good condition. I have to say thank you to care taker or whoever own him. Again, if any of them in a bad condition and the owner can not do anything about it. Please let them retire, we thai's glad to get them back and take care of them, give them love till the last moment of their life. Lately Suksurin 's treastment bill is on royal household as for ours King request.
@@kwitk that elephants belong to thailnad not sri lanka bro. we give them as embassador not slave
@@kwitk an animal that has been giving as a gift, in political sense, is an ambassador from thailand. the only party that needs to feel shame is sri lanka for not being able to care them gracefully as a duty of a nation.
@@kwitkyou do not deserve our elephant
Srilankans always had a habit of torturing the elephants in the name of religion. Good job on Thailand getting him back.
We will not return our elephant back to sri Lanka and will also take the other 2 back to Thailand as well. 😡 I had a very good vacation in Sri Lanka but now i might change my mind about future trip.
No one has any right to dislocate animals from his birth place unless for betterment of it. Not as gift to please others . We Sri Lankans are angry of mistreatments given to most of the temple elephants
Buddha spread loving kindness to seen and unseen born and seeking to be born
Far and near all living beings.
How come temple keep animals when it is prohibited according to Vinaya.
We appreciate you
thank you, what happened here is bad for all of us thais and srilankans. poor management, lack of competent caretaker, and unsupervised "animal usage" brings terrible fate to the poor elephant.
Welcome back home🎉
We miss you Friend live long 💙💙💙
❤
Stop elephant taming cruelty in Thailand also please.
I am Thai. I will not say he was abuse. I have to thank the monk to let we take Saksurin back to cure. He was sent to work as embassador for our country. Now he not in a good condition. I wish the oner from Sri Lanka will let him retire and stay in his homeland.
Well , could you pls also give the rest of our elephant 🐘 to Thailand ?? The elephant that we had been given to Australia here ,they even has the camera and ppl look after almost all the time ! It kind of like sad for me to seeing this and still worry about the quality of their life for the 2 elephants that still there!! Pls return them all to Thailand!
Tony Jaa The Protector awesome movie he kicks azz all over the place in chuck Taylors all while looking for his stolen Elephant 🐘
One time Elephant servant was the highly respected job now it's a lost art please provide training in this field for all srilankan taking care of Elephants.
absolutely. sri lanka taken a hit of avoidable political strife due to poor management, lack of competent professionals, and careless handling. this is a bad news for everyone who is involved. thailand's goodwill ambassador isn't being taken professionally means they cannot back down easily. sri lanka is going to have to take a bad deal from thailand as an apology, if they handle this unprofessionally however, then thailand really had to strike in some way to protect its dignity as a nation.
The living cost in Srilanka no longer allows the kanaks to get drunk in the evening so the elephants suffer.
He needs company putting him alone won’t work 😂he likes there I think mood is good
There is 30 days quarantine. While doctor will check if he carry any desease with him.
คนไทยเสียค่าใช้จ่ายในการเอาช้างกลับไปรักษา แล้วทางวัดยังจะให้คนไทยเสียค่าใช้จ่ายเอาช้างกลับศรีลังกา บ้าป่ะ เราไม่ให้ช้างกลับประเทศไหนๆอีกต่อไป
ใช่ รู้สึกแย่มากที่ได้ยินว่าศรีลังกาบอกว่า _้าจะเอาช้างอีก2ตัวกลับไทย ทางไทยต้องจ่ายเงินค่าเลี้ยงดูช้างตลอด20ปีที่ผ่านมาด้วย แย่มาก กล้าพูดได้ยังไง คนไทยพร้อมโดเนทเงินเพื่อจ่ายแน่นอน แต่ถ้าจ่ายเงินไปศรีลังกาจะให้ช้างกลับไทยจริงหรือเปล่า
Thai people very angry
...Venerable Shasthrapathi Narampanawe Ananda Thera told the media that Muthu Raja was a well-tamed elephant...The same day, amidst reports that the Thai Government was planning to recall another gifted elephant, Thai Raja, which is presently recovering from an illness, the former Diyawadana Nilame Neranjan Wijeratne vowed to go to court and sue for maintenance costs from the Thai Government.He said: ‘I requested the then Thai king, King Bhumibol, to gift a baby elephant to the Dalada Maligawa. I did so with the blessings of the then Maha Nayakas. It was as a result of my request that the King and the Royal Family gifted Thai Raja to the temple in 1986. If they now try to take it back, I will sue them in court demanding the cost of its upkeep. Also, it is unethical for the Thai government to demand the return of a gift once given.’...
I would not judge anything. Let you guys whoever you are who read my comment think for yourselves. The full article's title is "If Peraheras Must Have Elephants, More the Reason to See They’re Well" by The Sunday Times. You can copy the tile and google to read the full article there.
All the Sri Lankans wish fully recover and long life for Muthu. 💝🐘💝
May be Muthu will be recovered physically with great support of kind Thai people❤ & Authorities❤
But it seems he is badly missed the life in Sri Lanka😢 , His friends😢, his old way of living😢 , fresh air water and the nature of Sri Lanka😢.
His recent disobedience proves & depicts his minds.❗
We Millions of Sri Lankans who love Muthu are closely watching the Mental health of Muthu and we will raise the voice if necessary but not in such a way that thai people did.
We will not harm the Global Image of Thailand for any matter.
We love Thailand 🇹🇭 ❤.
The sad thing is it seems like many thai people are fooled by the false spreadings of NGOs and individual personalities who want to be popular using anything. Otherwise what's the point of blaming whole Sri lankan Buddhist community for just a matter handled by just afew people.
Considering Kandula and Thai Raja; the take back home request of small number of thai people i's a totally different ideaology.
Both tuskers are healthy and living a good life in here Sri Lanka .
Most importantly they are offered to Sri Dalada Maligawa. So they are considered as offers for Buddha Sasana🙏.
If really thai people want to take them back to Thailand it will raise questions about the respect to Buddhism in Thailand.
However let's see.. Afew decades ago these tuskers are shared to make better not bitter relationship within two countries. If some fools want to use innocent tuskers as a tool to harm the relationship of two countries it's not only a harm for tuskers but also a huge betrayal for ancestors of both countries.
I think both Sri Lankans 🇱🇰 and Thai 🇹🇭 people want better & better relationship❤🙏
So wish Amazing Buddhists people of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 and Thailand 🇹🇭 will resolve all the probs without harming the relationship and global image of each countries.
May the Triple Gem BUDDHA🙏 DHAMMA🙏 SANGHA🙏 bless all the people who support Muthu❤
✨May Muthu obtain good health.
✨May everyone obtain good health.
✨May everyone attain Nibbana 🙏
Theruwan Saranai🙏
🌸Sabbe Saththa Bawanthu Sukhithaththa🙏
Sri Lanka says If Thailand will bring 2 more elephants back to Thailand Thailand has to pay Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka needs the cost of taking care of elephants for over 20 years. 🤬
It is no wonder that the country is poor and bankrupt because there are only incompetent and unscrupulous people living together.
@@RickardKarstark as is thailand is not a poor country lol, your country is run by ladyboys blowing off forghiners lol
අලුත් තොරතුරු නෑනෙ දැන්
Yeah it would have been a wrap for Sri and Lanka 😂
bro cant spell
It is very ugly to give a gift and ask for it again
What do you mean?
shame on you Sri Lanka and yours people 😢
except this gift is a living thing and clearly the recipient hasn't taken a good care of it.
@lasini644 When you abuse an animal you don’t deserve to have it!
if your daughter is married And being physically assaulted, what will you do?
Sparrow, why ask our elephants?
Thailand government very cruel work .Thailand abuse there elephant for tourism. Srilanka not abuse thare elephant for tourism.
ประเทศไทยไม่ได้ทารุณช้าง คุณรู้จักประเทศเราดีแค่ไหน ประเทศไทยมีความอุดมสมบูรณ์มากกว่าประเทศศรีลังกาที่ปล่อยให้ช้างเก็บเศษขยะกิน มันน่าอนาจใจ ผลไม้มีปัญญาให้ช้างกินเหมือนไทยมั้ย ที่ไทยให้ช้างกินผลไม้และหญ้า ไม่ใช่กาบมะพร้าวแห้งและกิ่งไม้แห้ง รู้ไว้ซะ#ประเทศไทยมีความอุดมสมบูรณ์ที่สุดในเรื่องอาหาร รวมทั้งการท่องเที่ยวอันดับ 1 ของโลก
We gave the elephants as ambassadors, but Srilanka government gave them to temples which treated our elephant as money makers and as slaves. This is unacceptable. His physical injuries shows severe abuses, we now found one of his eyes also injured from being hit while other injuries are still being checked. Even though physical wounds can be treated, but mental health will need a very long time to heal. We not even know if the elephant mental health can return to a healthy stage. By the way, all expenses covered by Thai ppl tax money, but i am ok with it. As Thai, I don’t mind to pay or do whatever it takes to bring the elephant back.
I don’t think so !!!
Sri didn’t care about the anymal!!
Just used them for money
and parading him more than 30 times a year isn't for tourism? Are you telling us that those "monks" were not profitting from the abuse?
We actually use elephants for work, But our elephants are well taken care of too. Try to notice that working elephants in Thailand are not wounded at all. Looking back, but here in Sri Lanka, they used our elephants heavily. And they still don't take good care of the elephants. Then you guys can't scold us either. Did you see the wound on Suk surin? That's proof.
Thank you Thailand !!
Are you Sri Lankan? If yes, then you should know that you are very disrespectful to the Thai people. Elephants are Thai animals that Thai people respect. It has been a meritorious animal with Thai people for a long time, and Thai people are the only people who have given the title of an elephant equivalent to a human nobleman. Remember that Thai people respect elephants just like senior members of the family.
thailand government and Thais spending everything for Sak Surin and now Sak Surin is in the care of The king 🤍
Srilangka so bad 🔥🔥🔥🔥
cry
Poor poor poor sri lanka
