尽管大象在泰国随处可见，但泰国的一名妇女醒来时，发现一只大象正从她的厨房墙上探出头来还是吓了一跳。

Surprisingly enough, this wasn’t the first time an elephant made an appearance in her house, as the wall already had a hole in it from when an elephant smashed into her houe the month before.

不过这也不是大象第一次出现在她的房子里，在一个月前一头大象撞到她的房子时，墙上已经出现了一个大洞。

“I have seen elephants roaming around our town looking for food since I was young,” said Ratchadawan. “But this is the first time the actually damaged my house.”

“我从小就看到大象会在镇上晃悠寻找食物，”Ratchadawan说，“但这是第一次真正破坏我的房屋。”

Videos show the elephant searching through cupboards and drawers with it’s nifty trunk looking for food.

视频里大象正在用自己的鼻子在橱柜里寻找食物。

But the elephant’s visit to a local residence is much more sinister than it may appear. Elephant-human conflict has been on the rise across Asia as human settlements expand, the wildlife habitats shrink, leaving the elephants with less resources and forcing them to roam in search of food.

随着人类居住区的扩大，野生动物栖息地不断缩小，大象与人类的冲突在亚洲一直上升，这使得大象的资源减少，迫使它们四处游荡寻找食物。

We hope this elephant managed to get some food in the end, and that Ratchadawan won’t have to address the elephant in the room again.

希望这头大象最终能得到食物，Ratchadawan也不必再在房间里看到大象。
