PARK rangers in Thailand have found the body of an American tourist who was apparently trampled to death by elephants in a reserve outside Bangkok.
The woman went missing on January 13 in Thailand's Kaeng Krachan National Park in the western province of Petchaburi, said police Colonel Woradet Suanklaai on Thursday.
She was found crumpled in the woods five days later after a 70-person search team was deployed, and the severity of the injuries indicated she was likely trampled to death.
"Her arms, her wrists and other parts of the body were broken, so we assumed she was trampled by elephants because no humans could have caused such powerful damage to the body," Woradet said.
Police sent the body to a forensic institute in the capital to determine the cause of death, he said.
The US Embassy in Bangkok confirmed the death, but gave no details.
Kaeng Krachan is the largest national park in Thailand, covering nearly 3000sq km of forest. It is 200km southwest of Bangkok.
Woradet said the woman, who was in her 20s, was travelling alone when she left a camping ground in the park.
"Looking at the pictures she took in her camera, we see a lot of animals, birds, snakes, lizards," Woradet said.
"We assumed she wanted to take pictures of elephants because that's what the Kaeng Krachan National Park is famous for. We believed she wanted to find them and take some photos."
