In Thailand, elephants are trained to perform a number of tricks, from playing soccer to drawing to stepping on the backs of vulnerable tourists.
The Maesa Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai features elephants of the latter type: While you lay on your face, the elephant will step on your back to “help ease your stress.” Ninety-nine percent of that stress, of course, comes from knowing that the 3 ton beast is capable of crushing you like a slug.
Sometimes the tourists are given the impression that a baby elephant will be doing the stepping, only for it to be switched to a fully grown adult one when it’s too late to turn back.

Thai tea shop tells customers to “Suck my balls”…
A bubble tea shop in Bangkok is urging customers to buy its tea with an intentionally unique slogan – “Suck my balls.”
Now, before you start hunting for the shop owner’s “southern” region, they are (probably) referring to the tapioca globules that rest at the bottom of this sweet (and chewy) beverage.
The Twitter user who originally shared the picture said that the owner requested for the shop’s name and location not to be revealed because he “wasn’t sure if he was allowed to advertise like that.”
Likely, the authorities won’t be “sucking his balls” if they discover this slogan.
