A hungry grey elephant was caught on camera wandering onto a family’s driveway while searching for food in Chanthaburi province.

The homeowner heard his pet dogs barking so looked up from the balcony where he was resting and was shocked to see a wild elephant surveying the property for something to eat.

CCTV footage shows the three metre-tall jumbo inspecting the garage before leaving empty-trunked a few moments later.

Satap Mochit, 56, said he did not make a noise nor tried to scare the elephant away because he could anger the huge and hungry Jumbo.

He said: “Sometimes elephants visit our garden and the neighbour’s houses to look for bananas, coconuts, and rice. This time though, it walked much closer to the house.”

In the morning, Satap found huge footprints in the garden and a huge pile of elephant dung which they cleaned afterwards.

There were also several broken tree branches and scratches on the car where the elephant had rubbed against it before walking away.

An estimated 2,000 elephants are living in the wild in Thailand and a similar number in captivity. In the wild, they roam through the deep jungle and in the country’s protected national parks.

However, there is a conflict when they come in contact with humans who also use the area of farming and gathering food.

Elephants are a protected animal in Thailand and killing them carries a maximum prison term of up to three years and a fine of 1,000 baht.

A bizarre museum home to thousands of different types of condoms in varying shapes, sizes and colours from over the decades are displayed inside glass cabinets at the Thai Health Ministry building in Nonthaburi province.

The two-room museum is hidden away at the back end of the ministry building next to the sewage treatment plant – not advertised publicly and rarely visited by anyone.

The state-owned museum is home to foreign condom brands such as Durex and the local condom producer Cabbages & Condoms.

The first room’s walls are adorned with sexual health awareness posters and cabinets holding the rubbers, while the other room houses various apparatuses used to manufacture and test condoms.

The second room has six booths packed with phalanx-shaped objects that are used to test the condom’s strength and endurance. At times, the museum staff gives a demonstration to visitors on how the apparatus works.

Aside from the condoms, a variety of penis pumps and lubricants can also be found inside the museum.

Thailand is one of the world’s largest producers of condoms, surpassing The Netherlands where Durex is manufactured.
