Territorial elephants charged at motorcyclist as he prayed for safety

A motorcyclist in central Thailand got the shock of his life when he disturbed a group of territorial elephants.





The man quickly disembarked the bike as he rode up the road in Khao Yai National Park.





He then clambered nervously behind the bike for protection as he put his hand up to one of the elephants. The man then prayed as the elephant backed away.

More of the herd including another adult and two baby elephants then joined in to see what was going on. The man seems to have had a very lucky escape.
