SURAT THANI — A male elephant was electrocuted when bamboo stems tangled high-voltage power transmission lines while he was browsing in Khian Sa district of this southern province on Monday.

Thanongchai Churak, 37, the elephant’s owner, said he tethered 24-year-old Phlai Singthong in a grove of bamboo to allow him to eat.
