Elephant Rescued from Snare in Sa Kaeo Province
Picture from responders. A young wild elephant caught in a wire snare has been successfully rescued and treated by a team of veterinarians and wildlife officials in Sa Kaeo province. The youngster, found limping alongside its mother, had a swollen and injured front right ankle due to the tightly wound snare. Mr. Ekachai Saendee, head of the Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary, reported that the elephant was discovered in Moo 5, Ban Khlong Takhian Chai, Thung Maha Charoen subdistrict, Wang Nam Yen district. Authorities immediately mobilised a rescue team, including veterinarians from Wildlife Rescue Centre 2 (Krabok Khu), staff from the Khao Ang Rue Nai Wildlife Sanctuary, the head of the Chong Klam Bon Wildlife Breeding Station, the local administrative organisation, and village security personnel. To ensure the safety of both the youngster and its mother, veterinarians administered a sedative before proceeding with treatment. The young male elephant, estimated to be between one and two years old and weighing approximately 200 kilograms, was found with a metal wire snare tightly wrapped around its ankle, causing swelling and difficulty walking. Fortunately, the wound had not yet become infected. Veterinarians carefully removed the snare and treated the wound with antiseptic, antibiotics to prevent infection, anti-inflammatory medication, and pain relief. They also applied an anti-parasitic treatment and thoroughly cleaned the area before administering a recovery drug to reverse the sedative. Both the calf and its mother recovered well from the procedure. Mr. Ekachai praised the collaboration between the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, the Protected Area Regional Office 2 (Si Racha), and the Wildlife Conservation Office, highlighting their dedication to protecting and caring for Thailand’s wildlife. He also emphasised that officials will continue to monitor the elephant’s condition closely to ensure a full recovery. Authorities expressed their gratitude to the veterinarians and rescue team for their professionalism, dedication, and sacrifice in ensuring the young elephant’s survival and its safe reunion with its mother. The incident underscores the ongoing threat posed by snares in Thailand’s forests, which are often set by poachers targeting other wildlife but inadvertently trap endangered species like elephants. Conservationists continue to call for stricter enforcement against illegal hunting and improved protection measures for Thailand’s wildlife. -- 2025-02-27 -

East Pattaya Faces Waste Woes: How the City is Reacting
Many of these same people complaining about the waste dump should take a good look at the property where they reside. My wife comes from a large family and over the years I purchased 3 different properties. I've yet to see one property that's not dirty or untidy. Even when you buy a property from a Thai you're left to clean out all the <deleted> they leave. When I bought my town house in Bangkok, babies soiled diapers and used tampons were even left in a toilet bin. It may have been a rented property but surely the owner should clean out the property prior to sale. -

Thailand Dismisses Claims of 94% Drop in Chinese Tourists
Everything I read here in South America is how the Chinese economy is in the toilet? Could be they just don't want to or don't have the money to spend anymore. -

February Poll: 58% more satisfied with Trump’s Job as Potus , than Biden
I am neither Left nor right but there is no doubt the USA is a new Russia. First the security services are purged, Then the Military decapitated FBI CIA will be like FSB and GRU. The USA is now FUSA run by a Criminal (Trump felon) and a Foreign Nazi (Musk) You not only try and intimidate your neighbours and allies with tariffs you also threaten to annex a neighbour (Canada) Sad but true..................And your poll straight out of a Fox broadcast must be true.
