An elephant moved a fallen tree blocking the Lampang – Phrae Road in northern Thailand during a storm on Monday, allowing traffic to resume as normal. The moment was captured on Facebook Live.

 

The owner of the elephant, Weerawat Triyot, said that he was on his way back to Chaiyaphum province after taking his 16 year old elephant Dan Siam to a festival in Phrae province, his hometown.

 

Shortly after leaving the festival, Weerawat got stuck in a traffic jam. The traffic came to a total standstill so Weerawat decided to get out of the car into the heavy rain and lightning and have a look at what was going on.

 

Four cars along, Weerawat saw a fallen tree blocking the road. He decided to let Dan Siam out of his vehicle and save the day.

 

On Facebook Live, Dan Siam lifts the tree and launches it over the side of the road, opening up the way for the traffic. Then, the elephant waves his trunk around and makes a loud noise as if to say, “You can go now!”

What a great photo, a man and his Elephant working together as they have done for centuries.

If you watch the video, it clearly shows how this elephant (and another one) were riding in the back of a lorry.
