A cyclist also had to stop and wait on the roadside after the elephant blocked the road.<br /> <br />Chainunt said that he had seen wild elephants walking on the road before but this was the very first time he was chased by one of them.<br /> <br />He was also concerned about the cyclist who parked the bike across the woods where the elephant stopped.<br /> <br />He said: “It was shocking to see him coming toward my car but I felt relieved when he stopped running.<br /> <br />“I felt bad for the cyclist as I saw him standing still nearby the elephant, he must have been really freaked out. Luckily, both of us were not injured.”
