At most, the majority of us will experience traffic disruptions from a train at a level crossing, and every now and then, a parade or a marathon road race, or possibly a fender-bender. They're relatively minor inconveniences, all told, worth a glance and maybe phone call later to a friend, but not the biggest deal.
In Thailand, however, a recent traffic disruption had dozens of folks taking their cameras out.
Because when a herd of elephants wants to cross the road, they're going to cross the road, right? Needless to say, the display brought out a large crowd of onlookers.
They alerted local authorities when they realized the herd was headed towards the road, and police made the right call to close off the road so the elephants could safely cross, The Sun reported.
"Nobody minds waiting for the elephants, as the most important thing is that they're safe," said Pratya Chutipat Sakul, who filmed the experience.
