ELEPHANTS ON THE STREETS

You go for months without seeing any, and then you see four in one day.
Elephants on the streets of Bangkok are reasonably common in the tourist areas, especially on Sukhumvit. I'm guessing the fact I saw four different ones yesterday during the course of a couple of hours yesterday afternoon is a sign of the times and the fact that money (generally tourists pay to give nuts to the elephants) is getting increasingly hard to get for those in tourist-related businesses.
I still do a double take when I see them.
