Elephant Go Rampage

Story from Thailand outlook- More than ten elephants in Tablarn National Park in Kornburi District of Nakhon Ratchasima Province attacked two monks who were meditating, one was killed, the other seriously injured.

It is mating season for the elephants, causing unusual aggressive behavior. The park has issued warnings to those living in the vicinity to refrain from going into the forest at this time, so as not to come into contact with the 41 elephants in the forest, unfortunately warning gone unheeded, resulted in unnecessarily loss of life and injury. It's not a very smart thing to do trying to meditate in a forest where animals are roaming freely.

Thai Oddities

It is Thailand and purchase most of the products from your favorite Chinese goods store, but it might be easier to just order the stuff online- cobras, scorpions, bugs, and ants for your meal and beverage.
