  "A New World for Thai elephants"  
     
 
       His Majesty the King celebrated His 6th cycle birth in the year 1999 and the people of Lampang Province offered this project as a tribute. An inclusive short and long-term solution to the problems facing Thailand's elephants was proposed, which included preparing areas to receive retired domestic elephants from various places. 72 elephants were relocated as part of the project to serve, for example, as release animals, as breeders, as retired animals and animals to be trained for appropriate work.
