Resident in Thailand releases 2 snakes in hissy fit over neighbour's noisy dog
An annoyed resident living in a condominium block in
Thailand with a no-pets policy has come up with a twisted solution to counter a dog's incessant barking in a neighbour's unit: releasing two snakes along a corridor.
Sharing a video of the two snakes – one black and another brown – slithering at the corridor in a group chat with other neighbours, the resident said it was his way of protesting against the violation of the policy. The other residents living in the building the Ratchada area of Bangkok have in turned posted the video on their social media channels.
Addressing his neighbours, the snake owner said he loved animals and was responding to his neighbour's claim of also being an animal-lover, according to The Bangkok Post newspaper.
'Today I brought two. Tomorrow I'll bring more. I could not carry the bigger one today,' he said.
He did not identify the breed of his snakes but online users who saw his video said they were an expensive breed of pet snakes, the Thaiger news website reported.

Some residents at the building were quoted by local media as saying many people secretly kept dogs, cats, birds and other animals in their units despite the no-pets policy. The neighbour with the dog had been keeping it for two years, and the building management had ignored multiple noise complaints over the dog, according to the residents.

Thai elephant raids convenience store, eats snacks and leaves without paying
A convenience store in northeastern Thailand has had to contend with an unusual shoplifter – a large male elephant who scoffed down boxes of rice crackers before casually walking out. Advertisement The daylight robbery has gone viral in Thailand after the 'Here is Khao Yai' Facebook page posted a video on Monday afternoon showing the giant creature – known locally as Plai Biang Lek – ambling into the shop, head brushing the ceiling, guzzling snacks, and then strolling out. The local store, in Pak Chong district, about three hours northeast of Bangkok, is not far from Khao Yai National Park, where wild elephants are frequently seen leaving protected areas to forage for food. Thais chuckled at the unexpected human-elephant interaction in a region where such encounters, while not uncommon, rarely play out in convenience stores. 'Would you like some pork buns?' one Facebook user quipped, while others teased the elephant for its apparent criminality.

Cambodia to file complaint with ICJ over Thai border dispute that left 1 soldier dead
Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet on Monday said his country would file a complaint with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to adjudicate over its borders with Thailand, after a skirmish killed one Cambodian soldier and awoke dormant nationalist sentiment in both countries. Advertisement The flashpoint happened on May 28 as Cambodian troops patrolled in what their government insists was their side of the frontier with eastern Thailand. Thai soldiers opened fire and in a 10-minute gunfight, one Cambodian soldier was killed. Thai authorities said the Cambodian troops were inside a disputed area – later producing photos of trenches allegedly dug by their counterparts in the contested zone inside a forest. But Cambodia has demanded an investigation for what its foreign ministry has called 'an unprovoked attack'. On Monday, its leader Hun Manet – the son of Cambodian strongman Hun Sen – said he would be escalating the diplomatic response. 'To prevent armed confrontation again', Cambodia urged Thailand 'to jointly bring these issues to the International Court of Justice', Hun Manet told lawmakers, according to Agence France-Presse.
