Woman goes viral after she's knocked to the ground while taking photos with elephants in Thailand

A medical student was visiting an animal sanctuary in Thailand when she stopped to take a photo with two elephants. The photo-op ended with her on the ground.

A TikTok video of a woman trying to get a picture with elephants has gone viral after she was suddenly thrown to the ground.

Julia Candela, a 22-year-old, traveled to Thailand and visited an animal sanctuary in Chiang Mai, according to Jam Press.

While there, she visited the elephants — and attempted a photo with two of the enormous animals.
