In an unexpected twist of events, an Instagram sensation is turning heads while raising funds for elephants in Thailand. The social media star, known as @farangsgonewild, shared a viral post about an elephant sketch drawn by a Thai woman during a unique performance at a ping pong show in Bangkok. Intriguingly, proceeds from T-shirt sales featuring this artwork will support the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary.

 

The tale begins at the Super Pussy entertainment venue in Patpong, where the Instagrammer, captivated by the spectacle of a ping pong show, witnessed an astonishing feat of dexterity: an elephant sketch created using the artist’s pelvic muscles. Sharing the unusual art on social media, he humorously suggested it deserved a place in the Louvre.

 

Taking the story further, the content creator brought the sketch to the Reignwood Icons of Football event in Bangkok. There, legendary football stars, including Paul Scholes and Luis Figo, added their signatures to the drawing, elevating its status to a masterpiece with a memorable backstory.

 

 

The viral video of the event attracted substantial attention online, with comments ranging from humorous to praise for what some see as an example of Thailand's "soft power." The creative initiative of turning this art into limited-edition T-shirts aims to yield a positive impact for Phuket elephants, with 100 baht from each sale dedicated to the sanctuary.

 

The Instagrammer's campaign, supported by the signatures of football legends and encouraging charitable contributions, is a testament to the power of social media to inspire both laughter and meaningful change. As the deadline for T-shirt orders approaches, followers keen to own a piece of this extraordinary story are urged to act quickly, reported The Thaiger.

The  sketch pencil used for the drawing is currently up for auction on eBay proceeds to benefit the artiste.

Is this "Elephant Sanctuary" the same one run by the Doctor kicker and his Thai wife.  Scam operation.
