Word for Elephant

[Bubbles]

Hi

Can anyone help me with a word? A friend of mine is writing a book and needs a word for a place where domesticated elephants are kept.

You know the type of elephants you see in Thailand who work for a living, say pulling logs or maybe ceremonial elephants? Not the sort you get at the zoo.

I'd be really pleased if anyone could think of anything.

Thanks all

Bubbs.

I believe the word for elephant in Thai is Chang - Same as their famous beer brand...

Phom phuut nit noi phaasaa thai khrap, but elephant corrals are a little out of my usual line of business. 8) In a pinch I'd probably go for baan chang (elephant village).

Lexitron is down as usual right now, but maybe you can try your luck when you see this.
