Tourists visiting national parks at New Year must have bags to carry their garbage

18 Sept 04:23 Key points summarised by AI

Starting January 1st, national park visitors in Thailand must bring their own bags to collect and remove all generated garbage, enforcing a 'carry in, carry out' policy.
This measure aims to protect the environment and wildlife from plastic ingestion, following the recent death of a deer found with 7kg of plastic waste in its stomach in Khun Sathan national park.
The Natural Resources and Environment Minister has instructed all national park chiefs to inform tourists about this new mandatory garbage disposal requirement.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
