A quiet morning communing with the deer
15 Sept 23:01Key points summarised by AI
Thung Kamang, nestled within Thailand's Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary, is a unique eight-square-kilometre meadow offering a serene highland savanna experience, distinct from the country's typical tropical attractions.
The sanctuary is a testament to a successful royal conservation initiative, having reintroduced various deer species and birds, which visitors can now observe grazing peacefully in the misty early mornings.
It provides a tranquil and patient wildlife observation experience, emphasizing the subtle, horizontal beauty of a resilient ecosystem and the iconic solitary 'mueat' tree, rather than dramatic landmarks or conventional safari tours.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Yesterday 15:20Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
