Camping ? In this heat ? Not even a fan ? Brave souls indeed.

It is likely that this family were in a room , where they were staying, and heard a noise outside by their car.

Going to investigate, was a bad thing to do, when they were attacked by an elephant.

It would have been better to stay where they were at, and let the car get damaged, but

now they are recovering and still alive, so they should be grateful for that.

There are people who are tenting in Thailand these days, and I think they are either very brave

or very crazy people. Way too many bugs and other critters for my liking to be in a tent during

the night, when I am in that country. Oh and even Elephants that are awake in the night!
