In what can only be described as a “moo-ving” situation, 59-year-old Aunt Nong of Sattahip found herself in a sticky situation when a rogue cow decided to turn her backyard banana patch into a personal grazing ground.

 

After days of frustration watching her precious plants get chewed up and trampled, Aunt Nong picked up the phone and called the local police, asking for help with the “cow crisis” that had spiralled out of control. “This isn’t just a cow; it’s a disaster!” she exclaimed, clutching the offender, now her reluctant hostage.

 

When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered Aunt Nong in tears, holding the cow like a disgruntled hostage negotiator. With 15 banana plants now casualties of the bovine buffet, she was determined to get the owner to take responsibility. “I just want 2,000 baht to replace my bananas!” she pleaded.

 

This wasn’t the first time Aunt Nong had encountered this cow. In fact, she had previously overlooked its misdemeanours because the owner was a familiar face in the community. However, after the latest escapade of munching and stomping, she had decided enough was enough. “I can’t just let it trample my livelihood!” she declared, before tying the cow up and calling for backup.

 

Officer Sub-Lt. Apisit Suthi arrived to mediate the situation and reached out to the cow’s owner. Unfortunately, the owner claimed he was unavailable due to his wife’s illness and promised to show up the next day to discuss the damages. “It seems this cow’s owner is more elusive than the cow itself!” Apisit quipped, trying to lighten the mood amidst the chaos.

 

Apisit advised Aunt Nong on legal matters, suggesting she document any future incidents with videos to strengthen her case. “Holding a cow hostage might not be the best strategy,” he chuckled. “You wouldn’t want to end up in hot water for theft!”

 

As tensions eased, Aunt Nong’s cow-captivity plan seemed to be working. With the promise of a meeting on the horizon, both parties were hopeful for a peaceful resolution. Until then, it appears the cow will remain a reluctant houseguest in Aunt Nong’s garden, likely pondering the consequences of its snacking spree.
