The reality is that since they built a highway overpass outside my residential village, the monkeys have gone away. The elephants, which I used to see every day, (also distressed by the road building works) have been rounded up and now live in a nearby elephant village for tourists to visit.
Wow. Not sure how I feel about that kind of progress. I know we need roads, but I have much love and respect for animal relatives. Less than I have for tourists, of which I’m occasionally one.
Oh hell no…smell-ephants belong in a rescue facility if they’re bulldozing gates and destroying food. Here, we just have these damn peacocks. It’s mating season and they’re so obnoxious about it. Like a teenage boy with no sex education.
It only happened once. It was a hot dry period. There was no grass or lower leaves on the trees near them. I am sure they were thirsty as wel as hungry. At the time, I had a "house boy" or better to call him a domestic manager and asssitant called Tom. He watered the garden every day. I don't blame them for looking for lush leaves. The gate wasn't damaged. One of them must have simply lifted the gate from its rail or track and they wandered in. I told Tom to fill a large plastic bowl and fill it with water from the hose. The great beasts drank from several refills of the bowl. They mainly cropped the grass but we had to replace some bushes and stuff. No fruit or vegetables were harmed. They recovered after the rainy season. Someone else in the 'village", a Thai, had reported it and complained. The elephants were rounded up and moved to the nearby elephant village.

No snakes on the mf’ing plane, Steve. Or cruise ship! :-p
Love the music and the look back in time.
Thank you kindly, David! Cheers, my dears….
Not many ducks here for me. Monkeys, elephants, snakes plus the real animals of the same names.
Sounds like you’ve got quite the circus, dear. 🤪😘
Or zoo.

The monkeys were noisy but my house is far from where they lived. So are the cars. Noisy but far enough away.
I love elephants very much but they bulldozed my gate and destroyed my garden.
