WTF?

The Elephant Palace is home to more than 100 elephants, some of which perform for tourists and in films.

"We train the elephants every day to play soccer, kick the ball, and to keep from stepping on the other people," said Pattarapon Meepan, 19, whose father owns the Elephant Palace.

"They are not the best players because they are quite slow," he said. "But they try their best. These elephants can do everything."
