Efforts intensify to protect rare marine species in Andaman SeaLegacy Efforts to protect rare marine species along the Andaman Sea have intensified, with new aerial surveys revealing the presence of dugongs, sea turtles, and dolphins, highlighting a thriving marine ecosystem. The initiative, spearheaded by senior officials, aims to conserve these precious resources.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Pachara Wongsoonsawat has shown significant concern for the rare marine species in the Andaman Sea, prompting the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources to conduct comprehensive surveys.
Dr Pinsak Surasawadi, Director-General of the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, emphasised the importance of marine resources and the collective effort required for their conservation, including seagrass, coral reefs, coastal areas, and various marine animals, especially endangered species.
Recognising the critical situation of rare marine species nearing extinction in Thai waters, Pachara directed the department to closely monitor the populations in the Andaman Sea using advanced technology, ensuring maximum efficiency. The initiative also involves integrating efforts with affiliated agencies to benefit marine conservation.
Dr Pinsak ordered a team of scientists and specialists from the department to collaborate with the Digital Technology and Aviation Centre, the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, and provincial natural resources offices. Their mission is to survey the distribution of rare marine species in Andaman coastal areas, including Satun, Krabi, Phang Nga, Phuket, and Ranong, through aerial surveys.
Marine life survey
Using a nine-seat fixed-wing aircraft, the team conducted line transect surveys from June to July. In Krabi province, areas such as Ao Nang, Ao Thalane, Ao Nam Mao, Koh Lanta, Koh Si Boya, Koh Jum, and Koh Pu, as well as nearby seagrass meadows, were covered.
The survey identified 26 dugongs, including at least one mother-calf pair, 31 sea turtles, and one unidentified dolphin. In Phang Nga, areas like Phang Nga Bay, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Yao Yai, Pak Khlong Marui, Koh Mak Noi, and the Ra-Koh Phra Thong archipelago were surveyed.
Phuket’s surveying areas included Ao Pa Khlok, Ao Makham, and Laem Panwa. Ranong’s survey coverage included the Chang Islands, Koh Phayam, Koh Kam Noi, and Koh Kam Yai. In Satun, the survey covered Koh Lidi, Koh Tanyong Uma, Koh Saroay, and nearby island groups, revealing three dugongs, three sea turtles, six humpback dolphins, and seven unidentified dolphins, reported KhaoSod.
“The Department of Marine and Coastal Resources is exploring new techniques, technologies, and innovations as directed by the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment to enhance the conservation of rare marine species and marine and coastal resources.
“This involves combining scientific knowledge with public participation in all processes, from problem-solving to conservation, restoration, and managing marine debris at its source before it reaches the sea.
“Protecting our marine environment requires a collective effort from everyone. By working together, we can ensure the preservation and sustainability of our precious marine resources for future generations.”

Elderly man escapes hospital in Central Thailand, found by policeLegacy An elderly man undergoing treatment for chronic alcoholism escaped from a hospital in Chai Nat, dressed in a patient gown still stained with blood. He was later found and detained by police. The man claimed he was attending a friend’s housewarming party.
Local police officers in Chai Nat province began searching for a patient who had escaped from Chai Nat Narenthorn Hospital. The man, undergoing treatment for chronic alcoholism, had untied himself from his hospital bed and fled.
After approximately 15 minutes, police located and detained him near an intersection in front of the Chai Nat City Police Station. The hospital had alerted the police, and a good Samaritan reported seeing a man in a hospital gown walking from the bridge over the Chao Phraya River towards the intersection.
Upon inspection, the patient was identified as Chai (pseudonym), approximately 65 years old. He was wearing a hospital gown, barefoot, and wrapped in a white hospital blanket. He was also carrying a bag of snacks and a drink.
The blanket he was wrapped in had bloodstains. When questioned by a concerned citizen about the blood on his clothes, Chai revealed a wound on his arm, explaining that he had fallen. His hospital wristband was still intact.
When officials arrived, they questioned him about his presence in the area. Chai denied being a hospital patient, stating he had not been to the hospital. Instead, he claimed he was attending a friend’s housewarming party and had borrowed the clothes from a friend.
The police then tricked Chai, offering to call a car to take him to his destination while waiting for the hospital’s vehicle to arrive. Chai eventually complied.
A reporter mentioned that Chai has been hospitalised for several days for chronic alcoholism treatment. His intense craving for alcohol led him to find a way to escape when the hospital staff was not paying attention. He managed to escape capture until the police found him, reported KhaoSod.

Thai rapist attempts to kill 14 year old victim after her pregnancyLegacy The family of a 14 year old Thai girl is seeking justice after an influential 72 year old man in the southern province of Surat Thani repeatedly raped the teenager for over a year and tried to kill her to conceal his crime after she became pregnant.
The victim’s 49 year old mother, Suphannee, filed a rape complaint at Hua Sai Police Station in Surat Thani’s Hua Sai district yesterday, July 25. Suphannee said the rapist, 72 year old Jarun, had been sexually assaulting her daughter Nam for over a year.
Suphannee said she became aware of the situation on July 24 when Jarun tried to murder Nam to cover up his pedophile behaviour after the girl became pregnant.
Nam met Jarun while riding a motorbike past his palm plantation. Jarun asked Nam to stop for a chat but instead of talking he dragged her deep into his plantation and attempted to strangle Nam with a checkered cloth.
Jarun beat Nam repeatedly in the face and body with a wooden stick. He told Nam that it was the last day of her life before raping her. Luckily, Nam managed to escape and fled to her aunt for help.
Nam was taken to hospital to be treated for severe physical and mental injuries. She is now in the fourth month of her pregnancy. There has been no report on whether or not the attack affected her pregnancy.
Suphannee later told ThaiRath that Jarun tried to hush the case by offering the victim and her family members money but they refused. Jarun then sought the community leader’s assistance to avoid arrest.
Suphannee added that Jarun did not feel guilty about what he had done. He was living a normal life and seemed happy, unlike her daughter and her family.
ThaiRath reported that social media influencer Guntouch “Gun” Pongpaiboonwet is now following up on the case to bring the rapist to justice.

Yala durian farmers struggle with low prices after export rejectionLegacy Durian farmers in Yala are facing severe financial hardship due to plummeting prices, with farm-gate prices ranging from 55 to 80 baht per kilogramme. Farmers are appealing for assistance to raise the prices to at least 100 baht per kilogramme.
The issue arose after China rejected four shipments of durians, totalling approximately 17,000 kilogrammes, citing the presence of caterpillars. Investigations revealed that these durians originated from the central southern region of Thailand, not from the three southern border provinces, including Yala.
Yala Governor Ampol Phongsuwan emphasised the high quality of Yala’s durians, known for their delicious, sweet, and rich flavour. He assured that the province has stringent measures in place to prevent caterpillar infestations from the flowering stage, utilising innovative agricultural techniques such as light to deter caterpillars.
“I can guarantee the quality of Yala durians. The first batch for this season was harvested on July 23. The reports of caterpillar infestations in Yala durians are unfounded. We have rigorous checks to ensure only high-quality durians are exported.”
Masobri is a local buyer who purchases durians directly from farmers to sell to packing houses in Yala.
“Currently, we can buy durians at 55 to 80 baht per kilogramme and sell them to packing houses for 80 to 100 baht per kilogramme. The costs for labour, transport, and other expenses amount to 7 baht per kilogramme, leaving us with a profit of 13 baht per kilogramme.
“If the prices at the packing houses were between 120 and 170 baht per kilogramme, farm-gate prices would not fall below 100 baht per kilogramme. Ideally, farm prices should be between 100 and 120 baht per kilogramme. We urgently need support from the authorities.”
Bura Heng, a durian farmer in Yala, echoed these concerns, reported KhaoSod.
“Today, I sold durians at 80 baht per kilogramme for high-quality ones and 55 baht for smaller ones. It’s really tough. If we could get at least 100 baht per kilogramme, it would be more manageable.
“Fertiliser, pesticides, and other farming expenses are high, and we are not making a profit. The current prices are unsustainable, and we are barely making ends meet.
“I urge the relevant authorities to address this issue promptly so that we can have some breathing room and not be overwhelmed by the financial burden.”

Thai beauty queen sparks online drama over airline seatLegacy A misunderstanding involving Thai beauty queen Nampech Teeyapa and renowned YouTuber Spin9 has sparked significant online drama.
Nampech criticised an airline for providing a lower-grade seat than she expected despite paying nearly 400,000 baht, which she believed would secure her a Qsuite seat. However, her ticket was for a standard business class seat on a Boeing 777-300ER, which does not feature Qsuite or Premium Economy seating as she had thought.
The beauty queen’s initial outrage appeared to be directed solely at the airline but the situation escalated when she tagged Spin9, a popular tech and travel reviewer, in an Instagram story. In her post, she accused Spin9 of misleading content and seeking engagement at her expense.
“When booking tickets, it clearly states which flights have Qsuite and which don’t, with different prices. Who is really at fault here, Spin9? Don’t just make your content famous at the expense of others. You benefit from free reviews, but others are genuinely affected. Don’t add to their troubles.”
Nampech mistakenly believed that Spin9’s content had referenced her specific issue with the airline, but Spin9’s video had been created three months earlier. This was clarified by Spin9’s wife, Suching, who responded on social media.
“Nampech, have you misunderstood something? Spin9 has never mentioned or known you before being tagged today. The website that wrote about you referenced Spin9’s earlier review. Please read carefully and post a new story to apologise.”
Realising her mistake, Nampech later apologised via her Instagram story, stating that she had resolved the misunderstanding with Spin9. She acknowledged that Spin9 had not created any content about her but maintained that her confusion was understandable. She urged everyone to avoid further drama and mentioned her willingness to take legal action if necessary.
Despite Nampech’s attempts to settle the matter, social media users continued to discuss her actions. Many criticised her for not fully grasping her mistake and dragging an unrelated party into the dispute. While she expressed a desire to move past the issue, her comments about seeking benefits and readiness to go to court kept the conversation going, reported KhaoSod.

Thailand’s economy to grow 2.7% this yearLegacy Thailand’s economy is projected to grow 2.7% this year, an increase from the previous forecast of 2.4%, driven by higher foreign tourist arrivals and stronger exports, according to the Ministry of Finance.
Deputy Finance Minister Paopoom Rojanasakul highlighted the positive outlook, attributing it to improving economic conditions among trading partners. He noted that growth could potentially reach 3% this year, contingent on the implementation of forthcoming policies.
“We see positive signs from exports due to improving economic growth from trading partners, It’s a good number, but we have to do better.”
The growth forecast does not include the impact of a 450-billion-baht (US$12.5 billion) cash handout scheme set to be introduced in the fourth quarter. Paopoom mentioned that this initiative could contribute an additional 1.2 to 1.8 percentage points to the growth rate.
Exports are anticipated to rise by 2.7% this year, surpassing the earlier forecast of 2.4%.
Tourism remains a crucial component of Thailand’s economy, the second-largest in Southeast Asia. The ministry now expects 36 million foreign arrivals this year, who are likely to stay longer and spend an estimated 1.69 trillion baht more, thanks to relaxed visa requirements.
The previous forecast expected 35.7 million foreign arrivals with projected spending of 1.59 trillion baht, Paopoom added.
Last year, the Thai economy expanded by 1.9%, a slower pace than anticipated and below the 2.5% growth recorded in 2022.
The ministry also observed that the baht is expected to trade at an average of 36.2 baht per dollar, slightly weaker than the 36 baht seen in April, due to capital outflows in the first half of the year, reported Bangkok Post.
In related news, Tuna boom: Thai exports make a splash with a double-digit surge, Thai exports of canned tuna have experienced a notable surge, increasing by over 13% in the first five months of this year.
According to the Director-General of the Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO), Poonpong Naiyanapakorn, the value of these exports reached US$979 million during this period, reflecting a 13.4% year-on-year growth.

Thai cyber police seize gambling assets worth 190 million bahtLegacy Thai cyber police arrested the owner of two major online gambling networks, seizing assets worth 190 million baht. The websites reportedly used cartoon profile pictures to attract young gamblers. Police disclosed that the networks generated over 480 million baht annually.
The Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) in Mueang Thong Thani announced the crackdown, which targeted the websites kingpigs1.com and duckystars.com. During the operation, police seized luxury cars, 7.9 million baht in cash, and land deeds in Phuket, Phang Nga, Songkhla, and Krabi, totalling over 190 million baht in assets.
Police General Worawat Watnakornbancha of the TCSD, along with other high-ranking officials, shared that the two gambling networks were managed by a single owner who had been operating for over five years. The networks had a combined membership of over 50,000 users, generating annual transactions exceeding 480 million baht.
“The investigation revealed that both networks were owned by the same three individuals who acted as financiers, delegating the management of the websites, finances, and mule accounts to staff.”
Further investigations uncovered the networks’ use of football betting and other forms of gambling accessible to the general public. Police gathered evidence and obtained arrest warrants for 13 individuals involved in the operations, including three owners, one manager, and nine employees and mule account holders. The court also issued search warrants for four targeted locations, leading to the arrest of four suspects, including the owners and the manager.
Police Colonel Surapong Thaiprasert elaborated on the tactics used by the gambling networks to attract youth. The websites featured cartoon images to lure young gamblers.
If a young gambler lacked a bank account, administrators would coax them into registering their parents’ bank or credit card details. In some cases, youths were manipulated into sending explicit images or opening ghost SIM accounts under the pretence of receiving their gambling winnings.
“Parents should be vigilant and monitor their children’s behaviour online.”
Police Major General Srayu Klinhom, Deputy Director of News Analysis and Special Tools at TCSD confirmed that the arrested suspects confessed during interrogation. They will be charged with organising illegal electronic gambling and money laundering.
Police are pursuing the remaining nine suspects who have been identified and have active arrest warrants, reported KhaoSod.
