An elephant entertaining tourists on the beach during the afternoon of March 8 suddenly became enraged and injured a woman tourist before running into the sea.
Officers from Banglamung Police Station and rescue workers from Sawang Boriboon Foundation were called out to the scene of the incident, in front of the Jae Juk restaurant in Naklua.
Sea Rescue keeps a close eye on the elephant, hoping it doesn’t try to swim out into deeper water.
They found an unconsciousness woman named Ms Porn-Uma Pasukmuang, age 24, a resident of Nakhon Srithammarat. Her face was black and blue. The officers transferred her to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital for treatment.
The elephant was standing in the sea 30 meters away from the scene. Police contacted the sea rescue unit to closely follow the elephant with a rubber raft, obstructing the animal so it would not go into deeper water. After about an hour the elephant had calmed down, and allowed its mahout to place a chain around its ankle.
The mahout, 35-year-old Yai Chanla from Surin stated that he had brought the two-year-old elephant named James from Surin to display at Nong Nooch Tropical Garden. However, there was not yet any work there for them, so he brought the elephant to sell sugar cane to tourists on the beach at the Jae Juk restaurant. Normally, said Yai, the elephant was playful and had never injured anyone.
Ms Oraya Pasukmuang, 28, the injured woman’s sister stated that she had come for a vacation to Pattaya with four members of her family, and they had a meal at the Jae Juk restaurant. While they were waiting to pay their bill, a mahout came to sell sugar cane and bananas. Her sister bought one plastic bag of sugar cane, and intended to give it to the elephant, but the bag fell to the ground. She bent down to pick it up, and the elephant believed that she was grabbing its food. It first struck Porn-Uma, causing her to fall to the ground, and then tried to crush her. The mahout stayed close to the animal but couldn’t control it.
Yai has been detained for further questioning.
