A shop and restaurant at Khao Yai National Park in Thailand were damaged in an elephant attack today; two days after another elephant rammed a car.

A wild elephant stomped the grocery shop and shattered window glasses with it trunk, park officials say.

The incident happened after an eight-year-old male elephant attacked a car on a road in Khao Yai on Saturday.

Amateur video shows the elephant put its front feet on the car, causing a dent on the car hood and fractures on the windscreen.

Another vehicle sustained minor damage. No one was injured in the incidents.

Officials did not confirm that it was the same elephant, but Khao Yai National Park chief Kanchit Srinoppawan said the aggressive behaviours were results of the mating season.

He said male elephants are forced to leave their herd to prevent them from mating with blood relatives.

These lone and stressful pachyderms could behave like in the two encounters, Mr Kanchit added.

The rare elephant attacks prompted the National Park to warn visitors to be careful of the pachyderms.
