webfact Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Ex-Marine crushed to death by a wild elephant in his longan orchard By Thai PBS An ex-Marine was crushed to death by a wild elephant in his longan orchard in Chanthaburi’s Pong Nam Ron district on Sunday night (Dec 31). District officials said that the former Marine officer, 59-year old Prapas Pannarat, heard his dogs barking in the orchard late Sunday night and alerted his son, Mr Akkarawat, to find out if there were any thieves trying to steal their fruits. Instead of thieves, the two men found themselves in confrontation with a wild elephant which charged into them. Prapas failed to escape and was crushed by the animal while Mr Akkarawat was slightly injured when he tried to help his father.

I'd say you have a problem with English comprehension. There is nothing wrong with his expression -- "... a wild elephant in his longan orchard." Here "his" refers to the man's orchard, perfectly clear. Edited January 2, 2018 by BradinAsia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhFarangJa Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Wild Elephant just doing what comes naturally to it. Man encroaching on the habitat........Sad result... R.I.P. to the farmer.....sorry but I can see no real need for insensitive jokes...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soalbundy Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I suppose the elephant didn't even say 'thank you for your service' while charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Theory Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Very sad end for the victim. Perhaps it shouldn't finish like this ? RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
