Khao Yai National Park visitor honks at elephant, gets car thrashed

[topt]

More people die each year from elephant attack than any other species, approx 500 people world wide per year....

According to this list http://list25.com/25-animals-responsible-killing-humans/2/ crocs, hippoes, snakes, tsetse flies and mosquitoes are far bigger killers....

[Bluespunk]

Notice that the Thai newspaper pointed out that it was not just a park visitor or customer, but a "foreign tourist."

So what if they did? If it's the truth why not report it or are you saying it is racist to do so?

Seems we have another farang with a chip on his shoulder

Not the only one.

Headline should read 'Thainess thrashed by elephant'.

Unfortunately for you it was a foreigner driving the vehicle - as reported by TV news.

[wilgoster]

One trial operant learning, no doubt

[Spaniel]

I hope the elephant wasn't injured. Took these pics at Khao Yai last year.

[Ulic]

Elephant road rage, too funny.

Was it a farang?

If it was, many of the posters on this thread are going to look clueless.

I love this, was the tourist Russia or American, Ha. If his inserence company is anything like the Europe countries it will be void as self inflicted going against the road rules. Serves them right.

Are you guessing Chinese?

I doubt it... not that many Chinese tourists driving pickup trucks here.

More likely a farang jai-rawn.

[ratcatcher]

In an unrelated U Tube video, the truck driver decides to play backwards and forwards with this monster. Crazy yarpie.

[IMA_FARANG]

Hippos are dangerous.

Mainly because they like to feed away from the water hole at night, and then head back to the water to spend the day there.

That means they often make contact with humans on the trails to the water hole in the morning when they are testy and only really want to get back to the water for a nice day long soak there.

As far as the hippos are concerned it's the pesky humans that in their way.

[ToddinChonburi]

Everybody who visits the national park is a tourist. what the HELL !!!!!

[ToddinChonburi]

Hippos, how did we get on Hippos ?

Chinese tourists, as obnoxious as they can be, are not as likely to be so brainless as to blow their horn at an elephant... any more than a Thai would.

This howler sounds like something a farang would do.

Does it say how many pick-up trucks the mossies stomp each year ?

[mikemac]

Note to self - Don't honk horn at elephants. (unless I am driving a car that belongs to someone I don't like)

[iReason]

Excellent!
