No one would have done better than this Thai man in Thailand… He humbly apologized with a wai (traditional gesture) when he found out that his bike angered this herd of Jumbos in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. … and he survived! He was among the fortunate few who came face-to-face with the jumbos and escaped unscathed, while many cars have been damaged and some curious ones who came out of the vehicles to snap the photos- killed. Do not get out of the car! Please learn the gesture of ‘Thai wai’ when visiting Thailand
ช้างตัวอื่นฉลาดมาก อุตส่าห์เข้ามาช่วยห้าม ไม่งั้นพี่เละไปแล้ว พวกบิ๊กไบค์นี่เลิกเถอะ ไปขี่ที่อื่นได้มั้ย - Luckily the other elephants tried to calm down the angry one. What a luck that guy survives! This is the fault of the big bikes group. Poor dude, rode his motorbike quietly and has to face pissed elephants caused by big bikes :/
the elephant heard must have suffered once due to someone on a motorbike. Elephants have excellent memory and would have associated the motorbike with something bad
That wasn't an attack they were warning him... They are very protective animals and that guy was at the wrong place at the wrong time... If that would have been an attack the man would have been flattened and so would the bike... They were just protecting themselves like any other animal would do... Hope other people got that besides me
He shouldn't have been following them so closely. They felt their space invaded, plus there were younger elephants in the herd. They just wanted him to back off, rightly so.
+Tygerlady99 And motocycles are really loud too, they might even have felt all the vibrations from it on the ground as well. I get anxious if there is a motobike driving beside me on the road if i'm on my bike, so I understand them.
That picture at the end is actually pretty cool if you question why he's holding his hands together because it is a part of Buddhist/Thai gesture just like saying "Please forgive me " type of way, he's clearly implying for the elephant to give him mercy with this apologetic gesture and a sign of respect, it may not have worked but its just a amazing picture to say the least. That setting makes them seem like dinosaurs ahah

They sound amazing. Imagine being an explorer back in the day when you didnt know what an elephant was and hearing that and seeing one for the first time.
Begging is the only option animals understand he is sorry and is begging for life,,i have seen a lot of cases where begging helped...what you just need to do is hide your thumbs of both hands and between the palms when you beg...this is definitely going to save you one day..if he ran away he would have dead by now
The elephants are Not attacking, they are PROTECTING the herd since there are infant elephant in the group. Is very important ot understand what the animal is doing in a situation like this.
Just an English comment passing by.. Bitch you thought ขอแสดงความยินดีด้วยจริงๆที่รอดมาได้อย่างปลอดภัย คุณโชคดีมากๆ ขนาดดูจากคลิปยังน่ากลัวขนาดนี้ ช้างน่าเกรงขามมากคิดว่าถ้าเกิดกับตัวเองคงทำอะไรไม่ถูก ช็อคสลบไปละ ตอนนี้ดิฉันขวัญกระเจิงแทนไปแล้วเรียบร้อย (ToT) ดูแล้วแม่ช้างพังใจดีสุด หยุดเข้าทำร้าย พอยกมือไหว้ ลูกช้างก็นิ่งๆส่วนช้างพังตัวใหญ่วิ่งเข้าหาน่ากลัวมาก หางนี่ชี้โด่เลย
Look at the photo's at the end, the man has deep RESPECT for the elephants, something other countrys and its people could learn alot from these people.
those young men are fearless and respectull and understanding of the elephants protective nature. i think that the elephants where protecting the young elephants from a potential threat and the biker knew that and stood his ground with honor this is powerful
Very nice job Andy! congratulation This footage shows that motorcycles should be banned in Khao Yai, sure! But I do not think these elephants are so aggressive. Their behavior is very emotional but not very different from what it would be if a baby elephant had issued a distress call. It is of course very happy that this young man was not really attacked. Above all, it is not territorial defense but they were deceived by the noise from the bike, probably those close to infrasounds they also emit.
the first elephant is protecting the guy and one thing the guy had to drive because there were elephant behind also so he have no other option, but brave guy, great composure respect for him
I've worked with a number of elephants, Asian and African. Those kinds of small machinery noises really seem to annoy and frighten them; especially the Asians. But by God they are beautiful animals. Jack Northwest Wildlife Online
+keystring He was not a victim. The elephants were. They had babies and it's a stupid thing to do to go anywhere near any wild animal with their babies around.
There should also be a description stating what happened prior to this poor guy's riding. Ther was a group of big bikes ( more than 20 sth) rode across the national park, causing crazy loud noise which disturbed wild animals very badly. The herd came out found this poor guy and boom!
