A terrible incident occurred in Thailand's Khao Yai National Park. A 65-year-old tourist lost his life after being attacked by a wild elephant during a morning walk. The incident happened in front of the man's wife.
Authorities stated that the attack was carried out by a male elephant named "Phlai Oyewan." The elephant quickly charged at tourist Jirathachai Jiraphatboonyathorn, grabbed him with its trunk, threw him to the ground, and stepped on him, causing severe injuries. Witnesses reported that the man died at the scene.
Fortunately, his wife managed to escape and called park officials to have the elephant removed. National park official Chaiya Huayhongthong explained that the elephant was in an extremely aggressive phase during the attack and had previously killed two other people. Huayhongthong confirmed that the deceased was the third person killed by Oyewan.
