A stunning elephant conservation project has been created in Thailand. Elephant World is a governmental project in Surin which includes a village for the ethnic Kui, a museum, a field for growing elephant food, as well as initiatives to restore the devastated forest. After decades of wandering the streets of tourist towns begging for food and money or working in unethical elephant camps, Elephant World should provide a source of stable income for the Kui and their elephants through monthly salary. Boonserm Premthada, principle and architect of Bangkok Project studio, says: “Within elephant world, there are various buildings and Bangkok Project studio was responsible for three buildings in total, the elephant museum, the observation tower, and the cultural courtyard.”
