She was struck by its tusk, resulting in fatal injuries.

It follows a recent fatal attack by a wild elephant on a Thai woman and adds to the 39 elephant-related deaths reported in 2024.
Uhh, you’re assuming a lot without anything to back it up. Even if she was a student, her family is wealthy which is how she could afford this vacation.
They are for the vast majority of people in the world.
Yeah, no. This is completely false.
In short, you’re wrong and upset because I dared to criticize how someone wastes their money while children are starving. I see it all the time and I’ll see it again.
Gonna ignore you now. People like you are always desperate to defend their greed and entitlement, so you may have the last word. Goodbye.
It’s ~AUD$1200 (~US$750) return (~$590 per way, inc. checked bags) from Adelaide to Bangkok.
Pretty cheap if you’re not way up in Canada somewhere. For reference, Adelaide to Toronto is just over AUD$6000 return.
Canadian holidays are for the rich.
Edit: From Madrid to Bangkok return is ~AUD$1300 (~$650 per way) (via China Eastern Airways though…)
The vast majority of people cannot afford a $1300 flight for a vacation.
All you’re doing is highlighting how unaware you are about how poor most of the world is.
Dude we get it… You’re poor it’s ok
Yeah. You clearly don’t get it.
You assumed far more than the person you responded to.
No, I didn’t.
