Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari named the orphaned baby dugong found in Krabi 'Yamil', meaning "handsome young man of the sea" in Yawi dialect.
The Princess is sponsoring the care of Yamil and another baby dugong, Mariam, under her 'Coral and Marine Lives' project, demonstrating her commitment to marine conservation.
The Marine and Coastal Resources Department appreciates the Princess's involvement, extending her project to include initiatives like artificial coral introduction, rehabilitation, and public awareness campaigns.
Dugongs are frequently sighted in the Andaman Sea, particularly around Chao Mai national park, due to the abundant seagrass, which is their main food source.

Today 15:28 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister announced the government will seek clarification from the Chinese Embassy regarding its recent travel advisory warning Chinese nationals about safety concerns in Thailand.
The travel advisory is anticipated to negatively impact the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand, despite recent increases in arrivals.
A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
The Chinese Embassy's advisory urged citizens to beware of job scams, fraudulent investments, suspicious travel arrangements, and the risk of illegal detention or being lured to the Thai-Myanmar border.
Chinese nationals were advised to verify job offers, use legitimate transport, avoid high-risk border areas, protect personal documents, and keep family informed of travel plans.
