Odysseus123 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 It was a sad day for the village when "Ollie the elephant" was relocated somewhere south of here. I guess I am kinda on the elephants side even though "Ollie" pinched a whole bag of donuts from me.. I love the wild elephants.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trucking Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 A good reason for avoiding trunk roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inn Between Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Perhaps the elephant has poor eyesight and mistook it for a mating opportunity. ???? It's quite the video, but I'd love to see how they ended up like that. I suppose the road was blocked by the huge beast and it just got cozy with the car before the driver realized he or she was going to be trapped there until the elephant lost that lovin' feelin' and moved on.

manchega Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 It is a UNESCO park, it is really amazing, except for the road cutting it in half and quarters. the road is a shortcut . Thai people apply for unesco heritage and use funding to make road very nice. they drive really fast , and give as many <deleted>s ( classifier for number of poos) about the animals as they do for people a buddhist country yet humans are highest and some are higher than others. is there a way to make a UN crime for abuse of this heritage park certain unnamable elephant is responsible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
