Origin

Luk-Khang is a local elephant, born in Bangla, Lampang near to the Elephant Conservation Center, Thailand.

Nature

Luk-Khang is a good tempered elephant and is best friends with Prathida, one of our most talented artists. However, she is likely to pick up and throw things at people she doesn’t like, or sometimes to grab their leg with her trunk – fortunately there are very few people she doesn’t get on with!

Special Story

She likes to run away often and always heads for the river, where it is quite easy to catch her again.

Artistic Talents

Luk-Khang very much enjoys painting. She uses long vertical brushstrokes.

Mahout

Luk-Khang’s mahout is 34 year old Khajohnkiat Kamwang who was born in Phrae province and started working as a mahout at the age of 25. Khajohnkiat is married to Wongduan and they have one son and one daughter.
