"Thong Pha Phum"

Five elephants in Kanchanaburi province are suspected to have drowned after they were unable to climb out of a pond.

Thong Pha Phum National Park staff in Kanchanaburi seized two tiger corpses while on patrol after stumbling upon a group of hunters, who were about to eat the grilled meat of the big cats. The suspects made good their escape into the forest.

The Department of Corrections confirmed on Wednesday that Italian-Thai Development CEO Premchai Kanasutra has not received any privileges to leave Kanchanaburi’s Thong Pha Phum prison for medical treatment.
