sriracha john Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Young jumbo, youth killed crossing roadA 7-year-old male elephant and a 16-year-old boy were killed and two people injured when hit by a pick-up truck while crossing a road in Bangkok in the early hours of yesterday. * Chang Revenge follows * Elephant on rampage Three vehicles were destroyed by an angry, starving elephant in Huai Khwang district of Bangkok early yesterday. The attack occurred on Rama IX road near Ramkhamhaeng expressway toll booth about 3am. Plai Thong, a six-year-old male elephant, went wild and smashed up a sedan, a pickup truck, and a bus parked by the roadside. Authorities sprayed water on the elephant and gave it bananas to calm it down. An hour later, the elephant was subdued. Surin mahout Suthin Saiyos, 34, said he brought the young elephant to Bangkok just a week ago and made money selling sugarcane and fruit to people who then fed it to the elephant.

Cool Water Palace Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 First time I've had this palaver with uploading images. Those were not the captions intended, and sorry about the duplication. I tried to edit but failed. The elephant in the sky speaks for itself, or its three selves! Taken November 2004. The image of the live beast was in Suk Soi20 October 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaiGreg Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I think elephants are really cool animals. Some posters on TV have really strong feelings about stuff they read ... all the time. They get pretty cazy online. They cause unecessary suffering for themselves. A lot of hand-wringing and forehead wrinkles. Perhaps this particluar elephant-victim will be reborn a farang-prince. -NG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
