Veterinary Team Rushes to Aid Injured Wild Elephant in Khao Ang Rue Nai

A team of veterinarians and wildlife officers has provided urgent medical treatment to a wild elephant suffering from a severe infection in Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary. The injured elephant, a 20-year-old male, was found with an open wound under its belly, with blood and pus continuously oozing from the site. On the evening of 1 February, Ekachai Saendee, head of the Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary, was alerted by local residents in Sanam Chai Khet District, Chachoengsao, about a wounded elephant in Suan Pa Sanam Chai. Blood-stained trails were visible in the areas the elephant had passed through. Upon receiving the report, Ekachai coordinated with Matchamon Kaewprueksachai, head of the Wildlife Rescue Centre 2 (Krabok Khu), and Thiti Sonsa, head of the Chachoengsao Wildlife Research Station. More than 20 officers, including veterinarians and staff from the Forest Industry Organisation, were dispatched to provide assistance. An initial examination revealed a deep infected wound approximately 15 cm wide and 4 cm deep near the elephant’s navel. Due to the severity of the infection and continuous discharge of pus, the veterinary team decided to sedate the elephant for immediate treatment. The procedure, which lasted over an hour, involved administering antibiotics to combat infection, pain relief medication, nutritional supplements, and anthelmintics to eliminate parasites. The wound was thoroughly cleaned with saline and antiseptic solution before applying antibiotic cream and wound powder. Additionally, blood samples were collected for further health analysis. The team will continue to monitor the elephant’s condition until the wound has completely healed. Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary is one of Thailand’s most important forest reserves, covering over 674,352 rai, across Chachoengsao, Chonburi, Chanthaburi, Rayong, and Sa Kaeo provinces. It is the last remaining lowland forest in the country and provides a vital habitat for wild elephants and other rare wildlife species. The head of the sanctuary urged the public to report any sightings of injured or sick wildlife to authorities immediately. -- 2025-02-03 -

Thai Woman Arrested Over B6bn Romance Scam Connection
Picture courtesy: MGR online In a significant development in what has been dubbed Thailand's largest romance scam, a Thai woman has been apprehended at Hat Yai International Airport. Authorities reported that 52-year-old Orathai, whose surname remains confidential, was arrested upon arrival from Malaysia, following an extensive investigation by the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB). This scam, which came to light last year in 2022, involved a counterfeit online persona of a supposed US military doctor based in Afghanistan. The sophisticated ruse targeted a high-ranking financial professional specifically, the Chief Financial Officer of a multinational corporation's Thai division. The deceit led to illicit transfers totalling an eye-watering 6.3 billion baht (approximately £139 million) from the company. Orathai now stands accused of participating in a series of serious offences. These include membership in a clandestine society, engagement in criminal association, involvement in a transnational criminal organisation, and complicity in fraud and identity theft, not to mention money laundering activities. The arrest forms part of a broader crackdown, with warrants issued for almost 100 suspects, both Thai and Nigerian nationals. The investigation ambitiously spans across several countries as authorities scramble to apprehend those involved. Upon her arrest, Orathai admitted to her identity after being presented with the arrest warrant. She revealed that her Nigerian companion had persuaded her to open Thai bank accounts for his alleged business interests, citing his inability as a foreign national to do so himself. These accounts were subsequently managed by him, facilitating numerous deceitful transactions. Financial forensic analysis unveiled connections between Orathai's accounts and those implicated in fraudulent activities, prompting her arrest. Her relationship with the Nigerian partner, whom she met while working in a Malaysian massage parlour in 2017, appears central to the unfolding drama. For nearly two years, she lived with him in Malaysia, supported financially without needing to work—a lifestyle that lulled her into reportedly unwitting complicity. "He convinced me to open bank accounts to help him start a business in Thailand," Orathai divulged, claiming her innocence in the scam's initial phases. "He offered me 6,500 baht per account without any knowledge of their fraudulent use." The arrest was strategically executed following a tip-off about her planned visit to Thailand to see her child. The ongoing investigation continues to peel back the layers on what has become a landmark case of international cyber fraud, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2025-02-03 -
