webfact Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Tourism business operators from Wang Nam Khieo district in Nakhon Ratchasima have put forward initiatives to tackle the escalating number of incidents involving wild gaurs. These large, wild bulls are causing havoc, attacking individuals, and wreaking destruction on crops. The most recent incident occurred on January 11, when a mother and her seven year old daughter were assaulted by a rogue gaur while they were travelling on a motorbike along Highway No. 3052, connecting Wang Nam Khieo and Pak Chong district. The gaur charged at the motorbike, causing it to skid across the road. The young girl was caught in the gaur’s horns and was carried off into the nearby forest as the animal dashed off the road. The terrified mother pursued the gaur, eventually finding her injured daughter roughly 100 metres deep into the forest. The child was initially taken to a local hospital but was later moved to a larger medical facility in the province for further treatment. On Saturday, the Wang Nam Khieo tourism club called upon state agencies to consider installing additional lighting along the highway to improve visibility. There have been several incidents involving wild gaurs and motorists during the night, the club highlighted. by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of Prasit Tangprasert Full story: The Thaiger 2024-01-22 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
