Durian Farmer Killed by Wild Elephant in Chumphon
Picture from responders. A durian farmer was killed by a wild elephant in Naamsai Village, Moo 17, Rabror Subdistrict, Tha Sae District, Chumphon Province, early morning on 22 February. The victim, identified as 68-year-old Chuan Kanjananarong, was fatally attacked despite warnings from both his wife and local authorities to evacuate the area due to the presence of wild elephants. According to reports from local residents, five wild elephants had entered the village and damaged agricultural crops before one of them turned aggressive and attacked Mr Chuan. Concerned about his farm’s produce, he had chosen to remain at home while instructing his wife to leave for safety. Mr Sumon Kansuwan, a 55-year-old resident, described the growing fear among villagers due to the increasing presence of wild elephants. He explained that around 04:00 to 05:00, villagers spotted the herd near their homes and began evacuating. Unfortunately, Mr Chuan refused to leave, prioritising his crops and property. His lifeless body was discovered at dawn, with the elephant that attacked him still lingering approximately 200 metres away from the scene. Authorities, including forestry officials and local emergency teams, arrived to assess the situation and ensure the safety of the remaining villagers. Due to the ongoing threat, officials advised over ten households to evacuate immediately. Mr Niphon Thongyod, a local administrative officer from Moo 17, confirmed that a monitoring team consisting of village leaders and forestry officials had been tracking the elephants’ movements. They had observed the herd resting around midnight and believed the danger had passed. However, the elephants later returned unexpectedly, leading to the fatal incident. The affected area is part of an extensive forest corridor linking several subdistricts, including Hinkaew, Rabror, Jor Por Ror, and Wang Mai. It serves as a natural habitat for wild elephants, which frequently traverse the region in search of food, often coming into conflict with local communities. With over 100 households in the vicinity, many engaged in durian, palm oil, and rubber farming, concerns over future encounters with wild elephants remain high. Villagers fear not only for their livelihoods but also for their safety as elephant activity continues to escalate. Authorities have pledged to strengthen monitoring efforts and explore measures to mitigate human-elephant conflicts in the region. -- 2025-02-23 -

Tourists Caught Engaging in Sex on Bang Lamung Beach
Picture captured from video. An incident of public indecency took place on the rocky shoreline of Krathing Lai Beach in Bang Lamung District, Chonburi, in the early hours of the morning of 22 February. Tourists relaxing on the beach were left stunned as a foreign couple engaged in sexual activity in full view of onlookers. The incident was reported by an 18-year-old witness, referred to as “Biu”, who was at the beach with a group of friends. He recounted that they had chosen a spot where other tourists were also present on the secluded beach. Their peaceful gathering was interrupted by the unmistakable screams of a woman, a foreign national, leading them to discover the couple in question. Biu stated that he initially became suspicious when he noticed the woman was not wearing trousers. Upon realising what was happening, he recorded a video of the incident and attempted to warn the couple to stop. However, they ignored the warnings and continued their actions before eventually washing off in the sea. The witness expressed his shock at the brazenness of the act, adding that he never imagined people would engage in such behaviour in a public space. He urged tourists to exercise discretion and use private accommodation for such activities. This is not the first time such incidents have occurred at Krathing Lai Beach, which, due to its relatively secluded location, has reportedly become a known spot for amorous encounters. Local authorities have yet to make any comments. -- 2025-02-23 -

Online Gambling on Football and Muay Thai Expected to Be Legalised
File picture of Prasert Jantararuangtong. Online football and Muay Thai gambling are expected to be legalised, according to Digital Economy and Society (DES) Minister Prasert Jantararuangtong. Prasert stated that a joint working group, comprising the DES Ministry, the Ministry of Interior, and the Office of the Council of State, has convened twice to discuss the matter but has yet to reach a final conclusion on the legalisation of online gambling. He indicated that further discussions would take place, with a summary expected following the next meeting. When questioned on what constitutes online gambling, Prasert noted that authorities are currently deliberating whether to implement a Royal Decree or a ministerial regulation. While the precise criteria are yet to be determined, he confirmed that online betting on football and Muay Thai would be included. Regarding concerns raised by the Council of State, Prasert acknowledged that some definitions are still being clarified. As for the timeline, he estimated that the issue would be presented to the Cabinet no later than March, though it could extend into April. He reassured that work is progressing steadily, and once the fundamental principles are agreed upon, a draft subordinate law will be prepared. This draft will undergo several procedural stages, but Prasert expects its completion by April. -- 2025-02-23 -
