Wannachai Nonwicha, 31, suffered a 7-centimetre wound to his forehead and internal abdominal bleeding. He was rushed to Kui Buri Hospital at 8.40pm and then forwarded to the provincial hospital because of the internal injuries. While he worked on the wire, he said, a wild elephant charged him and hit him, hurling him against bamboo trees. He said the elephant then stepped on his back and so he laid still, pretending to die and the elephant walked away. He later returned to the village to seek help.
