Bodhi Tahtaung camp gets seven new elephants

The Myanma Timber Enterprise has sent seven elephants to the Bodhi Tahtaung Elephant Conservation camp, which is slated to be opened in the Bodhi Tahtaung Pagoda
precinct in Monywa Township in July, said U Zaw Win Thein, Assistant General Manager, Monywa extraction region.
“Those seven elephants come from the Taungdwingyi extraction region, and the Bodhi Ta Htaung camp is exhibiting different types of elephants,” said U Zaw Win Thein.
The Bodhi Tahtaung Elephant Conservation camp has been built on eight acres of land in the Bodhi Tahtaung Pagoda precinct, where the Lay Kyun Sakkya standing Buddha statue, the reclining Buddha statue, and the Ah Lantayar Pagoda are located. The camp offers pilgrims a chance to observe the lifestyle of the mahouts and elephants.
