webfact Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Firecrackers scare away wild elephants from crop raiding in Chanthaburi CHANTABURI: -- Farmers living in Kaeng Harng Maew wildlife sanctuary in Chanthaburi province scared away a herd of 50 wild elephants with firecrackers as the animals tried to raid their crops Saturday night. The thunderous sounds frightened and prevented the wild elephants from the crop raiding, and forced them to flee in various directions. Unfortunately five of them fell into the muddy pond where they got stuck and unable to get out. Farmers heard the shouting sounds of the five elephants early this morning, forcing them to alert sanctuary officials to come and rescue them. Rescue team backed with a backhoe arrived at Village 5 of Tambon Paws in Kaeng Harng Maew district and began dredging a slope for the elephants to get out by themselves.

OJAS Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Maybe some way needs to be found of celebrating Chinese New Year more frequently than once a year in Kaeng Harng Maew given all the racket around here in my part of the world a couple of days ago!

kuma Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Tomorrow will drive over to the village with the intent of trying to see a herd. Hoping to find some of the Rangers that can work as guides and help us find them so as not to disturb them and not to get trampled.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
