And the idea isn’t nearly as far-fetched as it sounds. Keep up to date with all things Thailand - Join our daily ASEAN NOW Thailand Newsletter - Click to subscribe Elephants – the world’s largest land animals – are scared of bees. Just think about that for a minute.

Charlie Halliday Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) There have not been any stray elephants in Hua Hin to my knowledge at least in the past 10 years. There was the big Bull called Jojo at the camp off the Pala U road next to the temple who regularly escaped but he's since been sold and relocated elsewhere.
