Deaw Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Chiang Rai Beach? I've actually been to that little beach area before, it's on the shores of the Lao River and lots of locals go there to swim or hang out. Nice place! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I wish the police luck in questioning the elephant, also in getting it to stand still, for the customary photo of the re-enactment. Hope the young lady recovers fully & quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 She must have been very close to the elephant to get kicked, and behind or under it or it would have whacked her with its trunk instead. Didn't know you needed a license to drive an elephant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know you needed a license to drive an elephant. Yes you do. If the police pull you over you can tell them your license is in the trunk! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOD Robin Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Please, please, please can we have a picture of the police "Seizing all elephants"?? Guess they will do the same like in Pattaya when every now and then they "seize" a lot of hookers and/or katoeys from beach road, drop them in several pickups and drive them to the police station... and after a couple of hours they release them... must be a pretty view to see those elephants in the back of those pickups...

SOTIRIOS Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 ...one requires a permit, etc to drive a car..... ...one would think there are fewer elephants than cars around.... ...so shouldn't the permits, etc., be sorted out well before any such incident....???
