Plai Sak Surin is being quarantined at the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre in Lampang.
The centre’s director Suratchai Inwiset said he is being given preliminary care for obvious symptoms which include an inability to bend the left front leg, an abscess on the hip, a cataract in the right eye and abnormalities in his nails and feet. Blood samples have also been collected to see if the elephant is suffering from any contagious diseases.
