Elephant in the room: visitor crashes through kitchen wall in Thailand
Ratchadawan Puengprasoppon was awoken in the early hours of Saturday morning by crashing and banging. When she went to find out what had happened, she discovered an elephant’s head poking through her kitchen wall beside the drying rack.
The male elephant, named Boonchuay, appeared to be looking for something to eat. His trunk rummaged through the kitchen drawers, knocking pans and cooking paraphernalia to the floor. He chewed on a plastic bag as Ratchadawan, unsure what to do, filmed the episode on her phone.
It’s not the first time Boonchuay, who lives in Thailand’s Kaeng Krachan national park, has visited Chalermkiatpattana village. “They come to visit quite often. They always come when there is the local market because they can smell food,” said Itthipon Thaimonkol, the park’s superintendent.
Thai media reported that the same elephant had even paid a visit to Ratchadawan’s kitchen on one of those occasions, causing damage worth almost 50,000 baht (£1,140).

,... bustin' up the crystal,...china,... and porcelain displays while trying to make some debunked political point about nothing while they destroy the peace and tranquility of the place.
No wonder they picked the brutish elephant as their mascot,... they think they have the finesse of a delicate ballerina but in reality they come across more as a schizophrenic bulldozer that is badly in need of being tethered,.. tied down,... and chained to a humongous glacial bolder.
