Chiang Mai: 100 armed police arrest foreigners for not carrying passports

[sambum]

Love all these Elephant experts trying to explain what happened... Why not just chalk it up to "Sheet Happens". Maybe the elephant was just having a bad day or maybe someone had just tossed him a banana with a hot pepper stuffed inside. An infinite number of unknown reasons could have set it off.

I'm trying my hardest to understand what an elephant has got to do with armed police and passports!

Maybe the poster was responding to one of the stories about an elephant killing someone. I saw that there was such a case recently at the Chiang Mai Zoo, not to be confused with Chiang Mai's Zoe Bar. Just a guess, of course. It could be a case of not wearing one's reading glasses.

Oh well, live and learn.

Yes but I'm sure Elephants kill people in the US and UK too.

Possibly, but I must admit I've never heard of it in the UK!

The elephant in the room at this point is that we are getting off topic.

Sometimes you can see the need for drug testing

Sometimes people mess about on their mobile and reply to the wrong thread. Unintentional rendering of a non sequitur. Only on TVF will this generate a whole new page of confused responses.

Hey, cut me some slack.... I'm the idiot who posted the elephant comment in the wrong thread. At least now we know who is paying attention.
