Marine animals are flourishing once again in the Gulf of Thailand due to the elimination of human waste. Through a collaboration of several sectors, tanks, trains, garbage trucks are no longer allowed to dump waste into the sea. The thriving marine life is expected to be tourist attractions in Pattani and Narathiwat provinces.

Pre-COVID-9, a significant number of tourists who were coming to visit Thailand’s 26 marine national parks increased dramatically, they mostly came from China.

Tour-guides and agency continued to keep up with the high demand, hordes of boats from various travel agencies would enter a prime location, all while scaring away the very same marine wildlife that tourists traveled so far to see.

During the last three years, however, the Thai government has been trying to solve the problem, to conserve nature, by limiting visitors or closing some once-pristine islands to the public. More recently, The COVID-19 outbreak has decimated the restaurant trade and wreaked havoc with food supply chains. Demand and prices have collapsed throughout Asia, home to some of the world’s largest seafood and fish markets. most ships are staying at the port.

The marine environment can only benefit from the reduced tourism and commercial fisherman out of business, however. While evidence of a recovery in marine life is still only a rumor, mammals such as killer whales, dolphins, and seals have been recorded in areas where they hadn’t been seen in decades, and that comes from a reliable source of marine biologists.

You can say It’s pretty evident that the sky is clearer due to less traffic, the streets are cleaner due to people eating less outdoors, and the animals are coming around more often due to things being less hectic than it normally is. But on the other hand, there are wishful and hopeful individuals that bend the truth a bit like this video below.

On August 9, A man attacked an officer, took his gun, and fled to his house in Plang Yao District, Chachoengsao Province. The officer then tried to persuade him to surrender for more than 6 hours but still failed.

Later at 6:00 pm, Plangyao Police Station decided to send 50 officers from a special operations unit in Chachoengsao Province.

The standoff lasted until 11:00 p.m. and the villain still showed no signs of surrendering.

So, they decided to chain his doors and windows preventing him from escaping until the next day rather than risk any of the officers or even the suspect’s life.

Meanwhile, the Royal Thai Police in Chachoengsao Province started to process a search warrant for the next morning after leaving a couple of police officers to watch the house.

Later, Col. Sonthaya revealed that the perpetrator was named Mr. Anon, 45, at the house in Tha Bunmi Subdistrict, Koh Chan District, Chonburi Province, who went into a drunken methamphetamine rampage and destroyed his neighbor’s ricefields.
