A man was killed after being trampled to death by an elephant at a temple in Hua Hin on Saturday.
The body of 58 year old Prasit Ganchanasilanon was found around 7am at Wat Anan in Huay Satyai, near Pala U. He had multiple injuries including a fractured skull.
An abbot at the temple said he heard elephants visiting the temple around 4am, something which they often did to feed on the jackfruit that grows in the temple grounds.
The victim's family said he had lived at the temple for about 10 years and often went for an early morning stroll around the temple.
It is believed he may have accidentally distributed the elephants while out on his morning walk.
Meanwhile, Thai news site Manager reported that Chatree Chanveerachai, the deputy governor of Prachuap Khiri Khan, had recently been made aware of the issue of elephants intruding into the local community.
The deputy governor said that he had heard a number of proposals from locals on how to solve the issue, including creating water and food sources for the elephants, which would hopeful keep them away from people's homes and local food plantations.
