Daily News reported that a 69 year old grandmother had been found alive after being missing for five days in Buriram in north eastern Thailand. 

 

She was found 13 kilometers from her house after collapsing from exhaustion in undergrowth. 

 

Noo Kengkaew had gone missing on February 3rd sparking a search. 

 

She had wandered off after going foraging in the Dong Yai Wildlife Sanctuary.

 

Facebook posts accompanied by pictures said that she had been taken to the Non Din Daeng hospital near her home.

 

It was not known what she had been consuming to stay alive, reported the media.

This a story about a grandmother not a pet elephant. 

Kudos to the dear lady, 13 km, not bad.

seen this on the news last night,  she's lucky to survive the 5 days, I wonder what she drank and ate to stay alive.  good on her for not giving in.

Despite having a fridge full of food and her seasonal 'allotment' chock full of fresh veggies, our yai is always off foraging on different days of the week for mushrooms, frogs, beetles, snails, ants, eels, fish and pretty much anything that they don't have at the new Tesco-Lotus Express.

 

It's cool season and foraging is in their DNA.

She sounds very resourceful. As H.M. said many years ago, "There's rice in the fields and fish in the rivers". Our locals can find a lot more than rice in the fields.

i just wish that they would leave the nests of baby field mice alone. they are too cute.

 

I suspect she may have the beginnings of Alzheimer's disease and forgotten her way home.
