The Kingdom of Tigers: Head Servant's House is one of Thailand's most influential cat pages, gaining fame around 2013–2014 through humorous daily stories about its cats told in a distinctive voice that popularized terms like "cat servant" and "head servant" among Thai cat lovers nationwide. The page grew rapidly with millions of followers, making its household members—Tiger Stripes, Tiger Ming, Tiger Cheetah, Jasmine, and Ashok—internet celebrities.

Over the years, followers watched Tiger Stripes grow through important family moments, including welcoming new members and experiencing losses like White Tiger and Star Tiger, which also saddened fans nationwide. Beyond being just a cat, Tiger Stripes became part of Thai "cat servant" culture, inspiring many people to adopt cats, study feline behavior, and open their hearts to stray animals.

PHUKET: Lifeguards at Patong Beach rescued a stranded dolphin calf yesterday (July 31), with marine specialists now providing round-the-clock care in the hope of returning the animal to the wild.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchat Chomklin expressed concern on August 1, 2025, over park officials' efforts to rescue a lost baby elephant discovered in poor condition with multiple injuries in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. He praised staff members who worked through difficult weather and strong currents, and ordered a full mobilization of park veterinarians to closely monitor and treat the animal around the clock for its safety.

"I have been informed about the lost baby elephant and am deeply concerned about its condition, given how young and critical its state is," said Suchat. "I want to thank all officials and veterinary teams who have sacrificed so much, braving rain and currents to help. I have also ordered the Department of National Parks to assemble expert veterinarians to provide comprehensive care at every stage, so the calf recovers safely and quickly."

According to Arthapol Charoenchansai, Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, park rangers at Khao Sam Roi Yot Substation 5 received a report on July 30 at 6 a.m. from residents of Mae Nam Noi village in Kanchanaburi province. Rangers accessed the remote riverside area by boat, a journey of 1–2 hours.

They found one lost baby elephant in poor condition with no herd nearby, believed abandoned for approximately two days. The calf called for its mother throughout the night, but no response came from the herd, suggesting they had moved far away. The terrain was steep with only 1.5 meters of level ground; the elephant was just 30 centimeters from the riverbank and appeared to be eating roots and rocks nearby. Officials suspect the herd crossed the river and the current swept the calf downstream.

Heavy rain over two days raised water levels in the stream, creating additional danger. Staff provided milk under guidance from veterinarians at Substation 3 (Ban Pong) to prevent starvation.

On July 31 at 9 a.m., veterinary teams from Substation 3 and its Phetchaburi branch arrived to assess the elephant. The boat journey to the site takes 1–2 hours, and continuous rain increased flood risk.

Veterinarians determined the animal is a male calf weighing approximately 40 kilograms, no older than two weeks. It suffers from severe dehydration, blistered and cracked skin, multiple mouth ulcers, heat rash-like injuries, and umbilical and groin wounds with dead tissue and no maggots. A dime-sized heat ulcer in its mouth makes nursing painful. Bee-like insects around its eyes cause inflammation.

On August 1, 2025, at Huai Yai Police Station in Chonburi province, police took control of Tanaa "Pong" Keuttong, Thongchai "Thong" Srinit, and two other suspects known as "Fluke" and "Ball" to proceed with detention orders to court. They face murder charges in a shocking case that has claimed five lives. After an overnight interrogation, officers completed background checks, fingerprinting, and prepared detention request documents. All suspects appeared tense and refused to answer media questions about their motives.

Before being taken to court, Pong's aunt—his guardian since childhood—visited with food and water. She revealed that although she still loves her nephew as a family member, she cannot condone his actions. She stated she will accept whatever sentence the court imposes and will not seek bail due to lack of collateral and fear that his release could lead to further crimes.

The aunt further disclosed that Pong had intended to rebuild his life and support his family after his previous release from prison, but committed these heinous crimes in less than two months. She expressed profound sadness and disappointment with the family's situation. She also denied knowledge of police uniforms or equipment found in the house and claimed she does not know who orchestrated the crimes.

A popular Facebook page has published a chat conversation between a woman and a suspect named Por, revealing alleged dangerous behavior including forcing her to watch murder videos and threatening to bury her alive. The woman claims she suffered prolonged physical abuse, intimidation, and control during their relationship.

The case involves suspects Por and Thang, who confessed to murdering two Russian siblings and burying their bodies. They later admitted to killing a family of three in June and burying them near the Russian victims' burial site.

One woman who previously dated Por has come forward, providing chats and police reports to substantiate her claims. She alleges that throughout their time together, Por controlled, threatened, and physically assaulted her repeatedly, leaving her in constant fear for her safety.

According to her account, Por was obsessed with violence, forcing her to watch murder case videos and simulations of violence. He also allegedly recounted to her stories of killings and body disposal—murders beyond the two cases reported in the news.

The most traumatic incident she recalls is when Por dug a hole, forced her to lie in it, and threatened to bury her alive like his other victims. She says she cried, begged for her life, and pleaded with him for a long time before he released her. After that day, she remained threatened and intimidated but was too afraid to speak out, fearing no one would believe her and that she would not be safe.

She has now filed a formal police report with evidence and stated she is ready to cooperate fully with investigators and serve as a witness if needed to help with the investigation in Chon Buri province and nearby areas.
