When he arrived at Elephants World in Thailand all the mahouts were extremely cautious of him as his temperament was unknown and so considered dangerous, as almost all bull elephants are.

I played piano for Chaichana several times last week, at the end of the day when the tropical summer heat was gently easing. I put the piano under the shade of Chaichana’s favorite tree, he is not restrained in any way and free to wander away if he chooses too. Chaichana turns out to be a considerate elephant.
