"There are around 120 wild elephants in Chanthaburi. Three districts -- Khaeng Hang Maeo, Khao Kitchakut and Soi Dao -- are battling with the elephants raiding plantations," Mr Jaruk said. We call all of these efforts to prevent wild elephants the "Chanthaburi Model" which I believe will be 100% effective,'' Mr Jaruk told Bangkok Post. Rumour has it that he would move to many other political parties before he joined the Thai Local Power Party, known in Thai as Palang Thong Thin Thai Party, which is led by Siam Rath newspaper owner and business tycoon Chatchawal Kong-udom. The veteran politician was with the Pheu Thai Party before switching to the now-dissolved Future Forward Party and the Thai Local Power Party.
