PHUKET:-- For the first time in more than 20 years, an olive ridley turtle has been found laying eggs on Mai Khao Beach in Phuket.

 

Local resident Suanbin Sae-iab reported finding the turtle on the beach at 8am last Friday morning (Feb 19).

 

“The turtle was walking back into the sea, just 50 metres south of the leatherback turtle nest that is being protected by park officers,” Mr Suanbin said.
