#1 I say we send the commando elephants to sort out the bandit elephants.

#2 Elephants ("chahn") are almost sacred in TL - certainly revered. They're just trying to survive. As this just broke today, I'll bet the Thai Gov't jumps on it. Buying appropriate food and trucking in water would be a cheap deal for all the goodwill and positive publicity. Politicians are the same everywhere. I just hope the elephants will go back peacefully... it's hard to keep 'em on the farm once they've seen the bright lights and all that.
