News Worthy Event:

If you litter in this Thai national park, your rubbish may just come back to haunt you.

Well, not exactly haunt, but it'll be shipped to your home as a pointed reminder that when out in nature, you had better clean up after yourself.

Authorities in the popular Khao Yai National Park near Bangkok will start sending rubbish back to litterers, Thailand’s environment minister said.

Offenders will also be registered with the police.

Backgrounds:

Visitors to the park have to register with their addresses, making it easy for rangers to track them down if they leave rubbish behind.

Environment Minister Varawut Silpa-archa posted pictures of litter collected in cardboard parcels ready to be shipped on his Facebook account.

"Your trash - we'll send it back to you," the post warns, reminding people that littering in a national park is an offence and punishable with up to five years in prison and hefty fines.

The box in the Facebook post contains a polite note saying: "You forgot these things at Khao Yai National Park".

Park authorities say the rubbish left behind can be particularly dangerous for animals who may try to eat it.

Khao Yai National Park, which is north-east of the Thai capital Bangkok, stretches across more than 2,000 sq km (770 sq miles) and is very popular with hikers.

It's the oldest national park in Thailand and known for its waterfalls, animals, and scenery.

News Worthy Event:

A teenager became famous overnight in China when she saved a suicidal stranger - by kissing him on the lips.

Liu Wenxiu, 19, was shopping with a friend at a mall in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, when she saw a crowd of people watching a man hanging on to the barrier of the highest floor.

Backgrounds:

"The young man was on the outside of the barrier and was holding a knife to his chest but nobody seemed to be trying to talk him round," she said.

"I wanted to help him but the police wouldn’t let me through so I lied and told them he was my boyfriend and that he wanted to kill himself because of me."

"They let me talk to him and he told me he was sad because he was from a broken family. I’m also from a broken family too and understood him perfectly."

Liu then surprised everyone - especially the young man - by stepping forward, putting her arms around him and giving him a kiss.

A fireman took advantage of the distraction and dashed forward to grab hold of the man and pull him to safety.

"His story touched me, and I felt like I really was his girlfriend and I could help him," said Liu afterwards.

Border Clash Erupts Between Thailand and Cambodia Over Preah Vihear Temple Dispute*

Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have escalated into armed conflict following renewed disputes over the ownership of the historic Preah Vihear Temple. The long-standing territorial disagreement flared up again last week, resulting in an exchange of gunfire between troops stationed near the border area. Both sides have accused each other of initiating the violence, which has left several soldiers injured and forced hundreds of civilians to evacuate.

The fighting centers around a 4.6-square-kilometer area surrounding the ancient temple, which was awarded to Cambodia by the International Court of Justice in 1962. However, Thailand continues to contest parts of the surrounding land. Despite multiple rounds of diplomatic talks and international mediation efforts, a lasting resolution has yet to be achieved.

In response to the escalation, both governments have deployed additional troops to the border region, raising concerns about a broader regional conflict. The United Nations and ASEAN have called for immediate ceasefire and dialogue, urging both nations to avoid further violence and prioritize peaceful negotiation.

As of now, no major casualties have been reported, but the situation remains highly volatile. Local residents on both sides of the border have expressed fear and uncertainty, while international observers are closely monitoring developments. The global community continues to advocate for a peaceful and diplomatic solution to prevent further escalation
