A wild bull elephant named Oyewan killed a 65-year-old Thai tourist during a morning walk in Khao Yai National Park, marking the third fatality linked to the same animal.
The victim’s wife escaped after park rangers intervened.
Authorities will meet to decide whether to relocate the elephant or attempt to change its behavior.
Thailand has seen a rise in deadly human–elephant encounters, with more than 220 people killed since 2012 as elephant populations have grown rapidly, CBS News has reported.
Similar fatal elephant attacks have recently been reported in several other countries around the world.
