"Since the coronavirus pandemic accelerated in March, Khao Yai,
Thailand’s oldest national park, has been closed to human visitors for
the first time since it opened in 1962. Without the jeeps and the
crowds, the park’s 300 or so elephants have been able to roam freely,
venturing onto paths once packed with humans. Rarely spotted animals,
like the Asian black bear or the gaur, the world’s largest bovine, have
emerged, too."
