Rare Omura’s Whale Spotted Near Surin Islands, Phang Nga
A rare and extraordinary sighting of an Omura’s whale, a species rarely encountered in the wild, has left marine enthusiasts and local officials in awe. The majestic creature, measuring approximately 9-11 metres in length, was spotted near Mae Yai Island, part of the Surin Islands archipelago in Phang Nga Province. The discovery was made by officers from the Marine Security Unit of the Third Naval Area Command during a routine patrol. The team was returning from transporting a patient from the Surin Islands to the mainland in Kuraburi District when they encountered the whale surfacing gracefully near Mae Yai Island. The officers were able to capture this remarkable moment on camera, showcasing the beauty of this elusive marine mammal. The Omura’s whale (Balaenoptera omurai), often mistaken for the more common Bryde’s whale, is one of the rarest species of baleen whales. It was first identified in 2003 based on skeletal remains, which revealed distinct differences from Bryde’s whales. Notably, Omura’s whales are smaller, with adult males reaching up to 10 metres and females up to 11.5 metres. They also have more pronounced throat grooves and a taller, less curved dorsal fin. Named after Japanese marine biologist Dr. Hideo Omura, the species remains poorly understood due to its rarity and elusive nature. In Thailand, Omura’s whales are classified as protected wildlife under the 2019 Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act, ensuring their conservation in Thai waters. Encounters with Omura’s whales are exceptionally uncommon, making this sighting near the Surin Islands a significant event for marine researchers and conservationists. This region, known for its rich biodiversity, continues to serve as an essential habitat for marine life, emphasising the importance of protecting these pristine waters.

Thai Highway Police Pursue Pickup Truck Smuggling 29 Myanmar Migrants
In a dramatic operation, Thai highway police on November 23, intercepted a Mitsubishi pickup truck that was attempting to smuggle 29 Myanmar nationals into the country. The truck was chased after it was spotted traveling from Hat Yai in Songkhla province towards Narathiwat, with authorities suspecting it was part of a human trafficking operation. The police, working under the command of Pol. Gen. Chiraphop Puridech, Commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, set up a checkpoint on Highway 42 at the border between Patani and Narathiwat. Upon inspecting the vehicle, they discovered 29 Myanmar migrants packed inside the truck’s enclosed cargo area. The group consisted of 21 men and 8 women, all illegally attempting to enter Thailand in hopes of finding work in Malaysia. The driver, 27-year-old Muhammad Fitdaw Bin Yani from Phatthalung, was arrested. He confessed to being hired to transport the migrants from Hat Yai to Narathiwat, where they planned to cross into Malaysia. He received 1,500 baht per person from a Thai broker named “Nobin” from Yala, though his real identity remains unknown. The migrants revealed they had been traveling for three days and were nearing their final destination when they were caught by the police. They had been in contact with a Myanmar broker who facilitated their journey to Malaysia through Thailand. Authorities have charged the driver with human trafficking and aiding illegal immigration, while the 29 migrants face charges for illegal entry into the country. Investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend the brokers involved in the smuggling operation, both in Thailand and Malaysia. This interception highlights the ongoing issue of human trafficking in the region, and authorities are working with relevant agencies to dismantle the network facilitating the illegal transport of migrants across borders.

Village Head Acknowledges Inadequate Drying Space for Rice Causes Crash Injuring 3
A crash occurred when a motorcycle carrying a mother and her two sons collided with a pile of rice being dried on a road. The incident took place on the evening of November 21 on the Nong Mod Daeng–Bo Din road in Tajoong Subdistrict, Lahan Sai District, Buriram Province. The victims, Mrs. Sukanya, 49, her eldest son Phutawan 17, and her youngest son, 11, were returning home after selling goods at the market when the crash happened. They were rushed to the hospital for treatment and are now recovering at home. Phutawan, who was driving the motorcycle, recounted that the road was dark, and he could not see the pile of rice in time to avoid it. The collision rendered him unconscious until rescuers arrived. Mr. Teerapong, 24, the owner of the nearby rice harvester and the first to assist, said he witnessed the crash and rushed to help. He described the heartbreaking moment when the 11-year-old boy, despite being seriously injured with an open wound on the back of his head pleaded for him to help his mother first. Village Head Mr. Pramuan, 59, admitted that the issue of rice drying on roads remains difficult to resolve. Farmers often harvest their rice simultaneously, and the lack of adequate drying spaces forces many to resort to drying rice on roads. Selling wet rice is not a viable option due to lower prices. Mrs. Yupa, 55, the owner of the rice involved in the crash, explained that she had placed the rice on the road less than an hour before the crash occurred. She had planned to spread it for drying after returning from home but was informed of the incident by villagers. Mrs. Yupa expressed deep regret over the incident, stating, “I used this newly constructed road because it is rarely used by vehicles. This was my first time drying rice here, and it ended in a crash. I feel sorry for the victims and have offered them some financial assistance. I will no longer dry rice on roads, even if it means selling wet rice at a lower price.” This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by farmers and the safety risks associated with drying rice on public roads. Authorities and local leaders are urged to find sustainable solutions to prevent such incident in the future. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-24 -
