🌴 24. Why I travelled to a town nobody visits : The Moo Deng Effect

The player is loading ...

Omg I've just met an ICON. MOO DENG!!! The baby pygmy hippopotamus who went viral last year.

We travelled all the way to Sriracha just to see her, and believe me, she's even more cuter IRL.

Moo Deng's fame brought about surprising economic benefits, not just for the zoo but for the entire Chonburi region.

Plus, I'll introduce you to Atapon Bendnandi, the 31-year-old zookeeper who masterminded this worldwide sensation.

His story is a remarkable testament to how one person's idea can generate massive positive change.

You'll also be treated to a funny anecdote involving some cheeky monkeys that added unexpected excitement to our visit.

Discover how a simple idea can make a huge difference, and perhaps you'll be inspired to create your own impact.
