    There are a number of elephant camps operating in Thailand as service businesses, such as providing elephant shows or elephant-related tourism activities. However, most elephant camps still lack adequate knowledge and understanding of proper good practices in management, supervision, and elephant care. This has resulted in problems concerning elephant health, elephant abuse, as well as environmental issues caused by elephant dung and solid waste.\nTherefore, in order to improve the practices in management, supervision, and elephant care in a proper and appropriate manner, in compliance with animal welfare principles, and to upgrade the standards of Thai elephant camps, the Agricultural Standards Committee deems it necessary to establish the Thai Agricultural Standard on Good Animal Practices for Elephant Facility.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
