Must be a fairly small pond (or some stupid fish) if the fish cannot avoid an elephant foot.

 

No easy answer, except to plant some kind of food they love in their own environments as much as possible, and respect national preserves.

 

We've got bears and deer and turkeys in the USA.

 

Bears get into my garbage on occassion. Deer and turkeys try to eat everything I plant. There's always a solution though, and I'm no tree-hugger.

More than one deer had wound up being dinner atound my Florida pad, while he was looking for dinner.

Last week I visited a poor school in Buriram that cannot grow vegetables for lunch as elephants keep coming and eating the vegetables, and stomping on fish in the pond nearby.

There seems to be no confirmed method of keeping them away. Electric fences don’t work after they figure out their tusks don’t conduct electricity. Fences or trees don’t obstruct them. 

Maybe they can be driven away once but with deforestation, their habitats are being destroyed and they return for food.

I have been underwater for 2 days so far but no sign of sandbags or help being offered.

Because it's only knee deep...Ya wuss.

When it gets neck deep and you're on you're roof, they'll help. Maybe, usually.

Just joking Amigo. Sorry to hear you are having problems. Hope all works out well for you.

I'm sure it's not funny on your end.

Sang Thai Party.

Sounds like a brand of cheap whisky.

Just need lots of soap and the cast of Nana, and they could have a grand old time on the leaky parliament floor, and then rinse off in the floodwaters.

Asean Now did not write the article, Thai PBS wrote the article, maybe you can try to contact them with your complaint. 

Good old PBS. 

What? No boats to push the water back up river?

This makes no sense whatsoever 

Agreed. The linked article makes no reference to the headline at all.

Management needes to lay off the Lao Khao.

They have dog shock collars that give them a little jolt if they wander past a certain perimeter.

Just a thought.

When you get the munchies, you just got to feed it.

Them damned roadside noodles are some of the best groceries on Earth.  Right up there w/ sticky rice, som-tam and BBQ yard buzzard.

Am in Florida now and willing to risk life and limb (plus 27 hours of airline nonsense) for them, too many times to count.

I did it all for noodles! I swear!

Probably wearing flip-flops. Mai Pen Rai attitude claims yet another.

RIP Dude...

Brake failed?

Wrong. Beauty is in the eye of the BEER-holder. ????

She's 45. Never heard of Pattaya I'm sure. 

Much like nude beaches in Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan, this vile practice never happens.

I'd give 500 baht to see that cop's reaction.

I would have been rolling on the floor...."thanks for making me laugh at          0

0300 hrs today....you little cutie pie".

Tourists, especially western seem to think they have a free pass here.  I have seen many inappropriate behaviors with females over the years working girls or not.

In many countries now it is a crime of sexual assault or worse.  And, big money civil payouts.

Bottom line, keep your hands to yourself unless the exchange is wanted or mutual.

22 years ago, in my fovorite Krung Thep internet cafe....1:30 PM or so. relentlessly molested.

Her hands all up my shorts.

Quite enjoyed it for maybe 2 or 3 days, then it was "CRIMONY! Leave my willie alone for 10 minutes please???"

I never went to the cops though.

Yes. It is assumed after you have struck a deal and hired her for sex that she is a working gal, and is working. Groping is then allowed and encouraged, in private. And that is the only time it is cool. Not on the street, not with a stranger and not even with a working gal, before you are back in the room. Basic respect. 

I totally agree with you my friend. The topic,,,,and Pattaya just made me laugh. Not you.

It's a jungle out there.... for all of us.

Love ya Bro!

Foorsooth! It has never happened!!!!

It is totally appropriate to grope a working gal, after you have struck a deal, in private. It is then consensual. That was the point I originally made. 

Weeeellll???? Is she "working" or not? To be or not to be. That is the question.

Farang accuses random'tandom chick of grabbing him by the willy while walking down the damned road!

I could go on for days.

Was she working at the Tahitian Queen? I CONFESS!

Guilty as charged, though I DO APPRECIATE all the dancing lessons. Now I can dance.

WOW!,

Hate yo hear such.

My daughter is 16. just learning to drive.

I suppose the crazy's are everywhere though, around the world. Still, sorry to hear about this.

Funny because (supposedly) Kung <deleted> was started in China after an Indian (Buddhist) monk noticed that the Chinese monks were lazy and fell asleep during lessons.

Supposedly he instituted an exercise routine to help the monks get in shape so they could better focus on their learning.

Those routines eventually led to the development of a martial arts style which then spread throughout China as monks migrated from temple to temple over the years. Over the centuries, different styles were developed in different regions of the country until there were dozens, if not hundreds, of different styles as each temple developed their own versions.

I've noticed a lot of monks in Thailand that could benefit from an exercise routine. In Pattaya they are given so much stuff they simply can't eat it all. They have to have people in cars and motos follow them around to carry all the extra food and stuff they get each morning.
