A Thai tourist faced down a charging elephant and stopped it in its tracks with just a wave of his hand.
Tor Bowling, 27, was visiting Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary, northern Thailand, when the elephant came charging straight towards him out of the dense jungle.
But rather than understandably screaming and running for his life, Mr Bowling simply held up his hand up to the animal, which stopped, turned around, and walked away.
