Campers in Khao Yai were shocked out of their sleep on Friday morning when a wild elephant invaded the camping ground and killed an old man sleeping in his tent.
The elephant ran into the Pha Kluai Mai camping ground at around 2am and entered the tent of Prayod Chitboon, 80. It then grabbed the man with its trunk and flung him against a tree, killing him immediately.
The rest of the campers ran to safety.
Khao Yai officials said later that the dead man’s car was filled with pomelos and the animal was possibly lured by the load.
Officials also found Bt103,108 (S$4,500) in cash among Prayod’s belongings and have called his relatives to take the money.
Mongoose are skillful , they understand tha a cobra can only strike as far as they can raise up ( plus and inch or two) Vipers on the other other hand can and do launch their strikes. All it takes is one hit and the mongoose is lunch. Russel’s pit vipers in SEA are bad news . As is the Malaysian green pit viper, what are called un Thai ‘ ngoo jong ang’, the snake with the burnt tail. Had a close call with one of those once , but that’s another story
