A villager was killed by an elephant and another escaped unhurt yesterday (Sunday) as they were foraging in a forest in the Phu Luang wildlife sanctuary, in the Wang Saphung district of Thailand’s north-eastern province of Loei.

 

According to Wang Saphung police, the two villagers, “Bai”and “Khan”, both in their seventies, set out yesterday morningto search for forest products, by following the Nam Thop creek upstream.

 

After about three kilometres, an elephant, suspected to be in rut, appeared out of the thick forest and charged the two men, causing them to flee in different directions.

"appeared out of the thick forest and charged the two men, causing them to flee in different directions."...... as one could be heard yelling to the other " I don't have to outrun the elephant, I just have to outrun YOU".
