Popular Post webfact Posted June 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2021 Picture: Sanook Householder Ratchadawan, 29, in the Huay Sat Yai sub-district of Hua Hin got a sensational picture on her mobile phone at 2 am Saturday/Sunday night. And a hole in the side of her one story concrete house! Ratchadawan and her family were fast asleep when there was a great noise from the kitchen. It was male elephant Bunchuay who had demolished the wall and come for a snack! Fortunately the kitchen counter impeded his progress or goodness knows what might have happened. Bunchuay grabbed a bite to eat then fled the scene into the darkness of the night. Ratchadawan waited until morning to tell the local park rangers what had happened. The park said they would be liaising with the local authorities and the military to repair the damage. Bunchuay is a frequent mischief maker in the area having caused damage before and is well-known to the locals. He is often seen walking the lonely streets at night looking for food, reported Sanook. Thaivisa notes that despite the damage and the scare, the picture obtained on the lady's phone could be a candidate for news picture of the year! -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-21 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Damm that is not something you want to encounter at night while walking. Could be the end of you. Still from a distance and with a safe retreat it would be nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the wild elephants have places where they lick salt, which they need for their health. These salt licks are thousands of years old. Maybe his salt lick has been redeveloped.

His normal salt lick may just be too far to <deleted> with when humans keep handy bags of it just the other side of wall with a big open window.
