Citizens’ alert saves wounded gaur in Korat

By Marut Boonnarumit

KORAT: -- Visitors to Khao Yai National Park in Nakhon Ratchasima and people living in the area have been asked to report any injured gaur after one was found on Monday afternoon with an apparent gunshot wound in one leg.

Gaur are a protected species and medical treatment is available if they’re ill or injured.

Tambon Phaya Yen residents in Pak Chong district alerted park rangers about seeing the apparently wounded gaur.

Ranger Thammanoon Suayklang learned the animal appeared to have a gunshot wound in the front left leg that was still bleeding.

The gaur was found grazing in a cornfield near the Phu Pattra Resort and anesthetised so it could be treated.

Thammanoon suspects it was either shot by a hunter or injured by a trapper’s bush-rigged “jan hao” pipe gun.

trumps poo flown back from turkey

3NUMBAS · 13 hours ago13 hr

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school - England World Cup

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education. I wonder if these are the same kids the rightwing pearl clutchers insist are being discriminated against in schools? https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/jul/06/thousands-of-children-absent-from-school-in-wake-of-overnight-england-world-cup-win

Trump has re-defined corruption

spidermike007 · July 1Jul 1

No other president has ever used his office to accumulate the vast amounts of wealth that Trump has gained in the past year and a half. And most unfortunately as is the case with many of his policies, his own supporters suffered the most. He is likely the most corrupt president in American history by 300 fold. And many of his supporters don't even seem to care as they have become numb to his misdeeds, and still believe his lies. A large chunk of the $2 billion haul President Trump took in last
