Flash floods have devastated the Elephant Nature Park in northern Thailand, leading to the evacuation of approximately 100 elephants and trapping numerous tourists. The park, located near Chiang Mai, experienced the most severe flooding in its history, with water rising rapidly and forcing a massive rescue operation to save the lives of the elephants.

Dramatic footage and images captured elephants wading through deep floodwaters to reach higher ground, while park staff, known as mahouts, worked tirelessly to guide the animals to safety. Despite the efforts, some elephants remain trapped in their quarters, causing panic among the animals.
