Police in southern Thailand hunt for a rouge officer wanted for a deadly attack in this southern province was hiding in the region

SURAT THANI: Police searched a reservoir and nearby forest in Ban Ta Khun district on Saturday after obtaining a clue that an officer wanted for a lethal attack in this southern province was hiding in the area.

A mechanical watch is not just a timepiece, but a reminder of the unfinished mission of Seub Nakhasathien, who laid down his life for conservation in 1990.

And after eight months of stewardship, he cleared his decks, made a will and shot himself in his quarters out of frustration in a bid to raise public awareness of environmental protection.

More than 150,000 tourists visited popular attractions in Surat Thani last month, generating 1.25 billion baht to this southern coastal province, according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
