A tragic incident occurred at a sanctuary in southern Thailand where a 22-year-old Spanish woman lost her life while bathing an elephant. The woman, identified as Blanca Ojanguren Garcia, was with her boyfriend at the Koh Yao Elephant Care center when the elephant suddenly became agitated and fatally gored her with its tusk.
Bathing elephants is a popular tourist activity in Thailand, known for its wild and domesticated elephant populations. Garcia and her boyfriend were on a day trip to the center on Koh Yao Yai island, located near the popular resort island of Phuket.
