A wild elephant attack killed a tourist in a national park in northern Thailand.
According to local media such as the Bangkok Post on the 12th, a Thai woman in her 40s was attacked by an elephant in national parks such as Phukra, Roe on the 10th.
Another tourist reported to the national park that there was an elephant attack at around 9:50 a.m., and park officials reportedly found the woman's body.
The victim is believed to have been attacked by an elephant looking for food while walking along a trail course leading from the campsite to nearby Penpop Mai Falls.
"This is the first time an elephant has attacked a tourist on a trail course," a park official said, adding that some trail courses have been temporarily closed and investigated into the accident.
Meanwhile, national parks such as Phukra, about an eight-hour drive from Bangkok, are considered one of Thailand's most popular national parks.
