"The incident is the latest in a number of confrontations between elephants and locals in Huai Sat Yai."

If you move in Elephant's habitat, they would try and defend that territory. Unfortunate but where these poor farmers have been moved deep in jungles for farming.

He doesn't look seriously injured ....... no blood ...... no broken bones ..........

No visible marks or bruising.

"Mr. Chuchai had suffered three broken ribs, broken teeth, a swollen face, chest pain, and numbness in his right leg due to a herniated disc."

Why he was lying on the floor, not answered phone calls and why nobody else see any elephants while he was shouting is mysterious

The elephants worship a different mythical diety

Well, you don't need brain racking to know that the elephants didn't like any interference when it comes to food being hungry.

In fact it was the farmer's fault to make the elephants angry.

Gone stupid. ????
