Rangers were patrolling the Mekong River when they came upon a group of men in a long-tail boat. The men pulled out a sack and tossed it on the riverbed before accelerating away in their boat. The Narcotic Suppression Bureau raided a drug network last week in the southern province of Songkhla, and this information comes in the wake of that operation. In the tambon Khuha Tai of the Rattaphum district, arrests were made, and 402,000 methamphetamine pills were discovered. As of April, Thai police had detained over 120,000 narcotics suspects during the preceding six months. The 180,000 meth pills the rangers found in the suitcase had a street value of almost 20 million baht. The tablets were contained in 90 plastic containers. The police seized 631 kilograms of crystal meth, which has a street worth of 600 million baht. Police also seized three vehicles and a piece of land…

The Chao Phraya River is currently running at a rate of 1,200 cubic meters (m3) per second, which the governor of Bangkok said is normal considering that the amount of water deemed critical and causing the Chao Phraya River to overflow is approximately 2,000 m3. The public has been assured by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) that measures have been taken to handle Chao Phraya River overflows during high tides from this week to the start of next month. The 88-kilometer-long flood wall that protects Bangkok from flooding has 20 gaps that need to be filled, according to Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt. He also said that the BMA has been allocated money to replace 13 of the gaps with sandbags. The revelation comes after the Royal Irrigation Department declared that due to recent strong rains in the Northern area, the Chao Phraya Dam in Chai Nat province will release additional…

The same regulations now apply to elevated expressways, however the speed limitations are a little slower. Standard four-wheeled vehicles are authorized to go up to 100 km/h, while buses, public transportation, and trucks that weigh less than 2.2 tons are only permitted to go up to 80 km/h. The decision to raise the top speed limits on Thailand’s four main thoroughfares to 120 km/h was made in May, and this modification completely departs from that decision. It was intended to eventually implement the higher top speed on all of the country’s roadways. The goal of paying a premium to get there faster would be negated if their ability to drive at breakneck speeds was disallowed. All of the roads on the list are four-lane expressways or freeways. However, not everyone approves of the new tactic. Thailand’s notoriously dangerous roads could get a little bit safer. The nation’s expressways and motorways…

According to the military organization, the occasion ought to make everyone in the neighborhood happy and smiling. Political activist Panupong “Mike” Jadnok stated on Facebook on July 16, two days after the incident, that things didn’t go as planned. The open-air film festival in Bangkok, which began on July 7 at the Laan Kon Mueng location in front of the Bangkok City Hall, is accessible to the public through the end of this month. According to Ponpen Kongkajonkiat, a spokeswoman for the organization, the films, which were produced by the Cross Culture Foundation as a part of a project called Siang Jak Dan Tai, or “Voices from the South,” were completed last month. The three short movies that were a part of the project were Se Ree Parp, Kam Sara Parp, and Jud Rerm Ton (The Beginning) (Freedom).

The Phong Pheng Canal in the Ang Thong province, the Bang Ban Canal, and the Noi River in the Ayutthaya province are among the canals and rivers in central Thailand where the government predicts that the water level will rise by approximately 0.50 meters. To prevent flood damage to personal property, the government encouraged homeowners along the Chao Phraya River to transfer their electric assets and assets up to the second level of the house or a higher site. The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation urged Bangkok and the other ten provinces along the Chao Phraya River last night to prepare for flooding concerns from now until August 1 due to predicted sea level rise. The Chao Phraya River’s water level was high due to recent rainfall over the past few days, according to a report from the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department at 10 p.m. The department is…

Tiger presence is always connected with a region’s biodiversity. We have been able to see tiger tracks thanks to the cameras installed in national parks and wildlife refuges. There are believed to be 148–149 tigers in the world’s woods, with Southeast Asia having the highest density. The number of wild tigers in the Huai Kha Khaeng and Thungyai natural preserves has grown from 42 to 100 over the past ten years as a result of a strict patrol system. The Thai government plans to maintain its position as possessing Southeast Asia’s highest tiger population and develop it further with a long-term strategy that lasts until 2034, despite the fact that India now has the most tigers in the world. Thailand’s attempts to save and grow the tiger population have received accolades from other countries. Today is International Tiger Day. Thailand claims to have the most tigers living in the wild…
