Two foresters, one poacher killed in Thung Yai clash
By English News

TAK, Sept 13 - Two forest rangers were killed as they tried to arrest poachers illegally hunting in a wildlife sanctuary in Tak province.

The two dead rangers from Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary were identified as Boonsilp Intapanya and Arnthong Ngamying.

They exchanged gunfire with a group of illegal hunters believed to be from the Hmong ethnic minority. Two other forest rangers were wounded while one poacher was killed during the fight.

Border patrol police have been dispatched to the forest to hunt for the remaining four poachers who escape from the shooting scene.

The incident occurred late last night after the foresters were notified by their counterparts of nearby Huaikhakhaeng Wildlife Sanctuary in Uthai Thani province that a group of illegal hunters were believed to have fled arrest into the Tak forest after they shot bears in Huaikhakaeng.

Police warn drivers to be cautious on the roads during wet season

BANGKOK, 13 September 2013 (NNT) - The Police Traffic Division has urged commuters to exercise extra caution on the roads as heavy rains continue to batter Bangkok.


Division chief Pol Maj Gen PiyaTawichai said storms are expected to bring extended periods of torrential rain to many areas which will render roads more treacherous. Drivers are advised to check the condition of their vehicles before embarking on their journey.

The division has assigned officers to help BMA employees drain water from 35 congested spots in Bangkok and to install additional water pumps in a bid to relieve traffic jam. Pol Maj Gen Piya said the most flood-prone roads in the capital include Ratchadaphisek, Kasetsart intersection and Lat Phrao.

Motorists who wish to obtain traffic updates can contact the division hotline at 1197.

The Meteorological Department earlier warned that a monsoon trough covering the upper parts which collided with the southwesterly winds will continue to bring rains to Bangkok and most parts of Thailand during the next few days.
