The officials took photographs of the dead whale, which was stuck in the rocks, before forwarding it to Sophon Thongdee, deputy director general of the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR), who confirmed that it was a Bruda whale.

No one should be surprised. How any creature or sea life can survive in the cesspit of the Gulf Of Thailand is beyond me.

Kilometres of floating plastic and centimetres thick of sludge and pollution on the coral reefs. Sea life in the Gulf has little hope.

But never mind there is always a fast baht to be made from innocent tourists who feed starving fish.

The whale heard it could get a free meal from Russians at the beach, but later starved to death, as inexplicably, the practice has suddenly stopped.

Its navigation system was a cheap knock off it got from some market, frequented exclusively by foreigners, which left it unable to find alternative sources of food in the seriously polluted sea.

Tourists in pattaya, who had come there solely, for the purpose of catching a glimpse of this wonder of nature, had to instead go and shag some prostitutes.

Fortunately, thye were to be found on every street corner, despite inexplicable deinals from the local Head of Police.

The Prime Minister considers Foreigners totally responsible for the Whales death, as Thai people couldn't possibly have done such a thing.
