Tough Love: Mother Chains Son to a Tree


Photo Courtesy of Daily News

KONKAEN – A journalist tracked down the mother who chained his own son to a tree for five years. Prajak Yamglang, 45-years-old, dressed in shorts and a wool beanie slept in a hole next to a bamboo tree; his left ankle was locked to a thick, three meter long chain like some medieval prisoner. But Prajak smiled and sang a swift tune. He appeared to be completely happy.

Huang Yamglang, 71-years-old, the mother of Prajak said the reason she chains her son to a tree is because he has a mental disability. Huang recalled that as a child her son was an extremely intelligent boy who was good at drawing. When he finished grade seven, Prajak quit school to help his mother with farming and to look after the buffalos and soon became a loner.

When Prajak was 16-17 years of age, he was addicted to country music and glue. He eventually went mad and hurt people. Sometimes he would walk naked into schools scaring away teachers and students.

Huang said she has chained him down for almost 5 years now with Prajak’s complete consent. She said that he understands and agrees.

Huang brings food for her son everyday and play and tease each other every time.

The journalist covering the story said that while Prajak was interacting with his mother, he began to go off in his own world, bowing to the bamboo tree and lying down in the hole and sitting up suddenly to sing tunes; he repeated this over 40 times.

CHIANGMAI – A 16-year-old 10th grader gave birth to her child in a gas station toilet in Chiang Mai. She stuffed the baby in a trash bag and ran away. Lucky, the baby survived because a janitor heard the baby crying and helped it suffocated.

Surveillance footage showed that the mother had help from other people; she even borrowed a pair of branch clippers to snip the umbilical cord. Police later tracked down the teen’s mother. The 16-year-old had been admitted to hospital after excessive bleeding.

Police and gas station workers helped untie the black trash bag the baby was stuffed in and found a male infant along with a severed umbilical cord.

In the woman’s toilet, a drag trail of blood led towards a rubbish bin at front of the toilet. Surveillance also showed two women getting into pick up truck and driving away. The police tracked down the 16-year-old at Mothers & Children’s Hospital.

The janitor who discovered the infant said she was about to clean the women’s bathroom, when a short stubby female wearing a green t-shirt and short pants asked her if she could borrow a branch clippers. She had no idea what they were going to be used for. She later heard the stubby woman yelling, “Are you done?” to another woman inside the toilet. The reply came, “no, not yet,” then “arghhh.”

The cleaner dismissed the scream and cleaned the men’s toilet and found later that the two had run off already. She discovered the trail of blood and the crying infant.

Police will interrogate the teen and take her to court.

Imagine growing up knowing your mother dumped you in a gas station toilet, in a black trash bag and tried to kill you.

Boob Enlargement Lollies


Courtesy of Daily news

THAILAND – The department of food and medicine has addressed the issue of a lolly brand, marketing itself over the internet with false and harmful advertising. The company has stated on its products that the lollies increase the size of breasts. The product’s catch phrase is, “Miracle Boober.” The number of buyers on the internet has skyrocketed.

The department said there was a similar case earlier this year involving breast enlargement cookies and that these cock-and-bull products usually state that they contain a mixture of ancient herbs and special ingredients that enlarge breasts while keeping the body slim and firm. The department said that the lollies are a product line extension strategy by the same company.

The packaging contains Japanese text and appears to be from Japan - but when authorities examined international importing records they found no trace of the brand or any legal registrations to the product. It is believed that the lollies are being carried in by various individuals or that they are even domestically produced.

The so-called ancient herbs, contains estrogen which can harm the body and even cause cancer when consumed regularly or in large amounts. The lollies can also prevent women from breastfeeding; and in men, significantly reduce sperm count.

The department said they will track down the sellers of these illegal products and that the people behind ‘Boober’ will fined and sued and desecrated, for lying to the young generations of people.

The Boober Lollies advertisement slogan on the internet is: “Boob Boom within 7 days, No Surgery Needed.

Note: The people buying the products should also be fined and sued and desecrated because they are idiots.

CHINA – A Thai journalist went to China to cover a story about a Chinese girl, Li Chow Yuan, 6-years-old, known as the cat girl. Plagued by a strange disease, a light fur coat began growing on her body from her back to neck and arms to face.

Li Yang, the cat girl’s father, stated that the doctor said the disease had been dormant in the girl since birth. The doctor also stated that her body will be covered in fur very soon and that the condition will be extremely difficult to cure.

The cat girl’s family is trying their best to gather funds to support her medical treatment.

CHONBURI – A husband and wife went to Roy Kra Tong Festival for a vacation in Chonburi. They both had too much to drink and fought on the way back to their motel. As they got into bed together they both tried to get the blanket for themselves. The wife was infuriated and found a knife. She stabbed her husband to death. The corpse was found naked. She insisted her husband started it.

Samruam Phuangthong, 51-years-old, was a pick-up bus driver found face flat in a pool of blood. Samruam had been fiercely stabbed with a sharp weapon in his left nipple. The wound was 10 centimeters deep.

The murder weapon was a long kitchen knife. The police also found the victim’s wife, Taweeporn Sriwiman, a 39-years-old masseuse, who at the time of the murder, had blood stained all over her clothes. She had a deep laceration on her right wrist.

According to her, the couple had been together for two years and was out on vacation. They both had a bit too much to drink and started to argue as they returned to their motel room. In bed, they fought over the blanket, causing the wife to stab her husband with a knife. “I don’t think it’s fair to just take the blanket for yourself. There’s seriously something wrong with that guy,” she said.

As for why Sumruam was naked, the wife simply said it was normal for him to not wear anything in bed.

Epic Car Chase between Police and Illegal Firearms Dealer

YASOTHON – Police were involved in a high-speed pursuit of an illegal-firearms dealer. The suspect drove a pick up truck and people gathered on the streets to watch because they thought it was part of a movie that was being filmed.

Anochao Muengsap, 40-years-old, was the alleged suspect with illegal weapons in his possession. As police arrived at Anochao’s house, he attempted to escape in his black Toyota Freerunner. Road blocks were immediately set up by police to limit the routes Anochao could take; he resisted them and drove through barriers. During the chase, Anochao lost control of his vehicle and headed for a creek but hit another car first. He opened the door and tried to escape on foot. He sustained minor injuries in the crash and police pinned him down shortly after.

Pedestrians described the twenty minute stint as pure stunt driving. They were convinced it was part of an action sequence for a movie, because Anochao’s vehicle, at one stage, got 10 meters of air. The civilians applauded only to realize afterwards that it was a real car chase, between real police and real criminals.

“That amazing fly stunt was just a fluke, I believe. We still caught him in the end, so it doesn’t matter,” one of the police officers said.

It might be another cold case.

Man’s Penis Rots after Beeswax Injection


Photo Courtesy of Daily News

LAMPANG – A new trend in Lampang, Thailand, among male teens is to buy tubes of beeswax and inject it into their penises. Many have been admitted to hospital after severe infections.

One 20-year-old college student revealed that he had bought the beeswax mix from his friends, for a penis enlargement. He said that everyone said the mix could enlarge his penis instantly without surgery. He believed them.

The procedure was to use the beeswax – normally applied to burnt skin and infections and commonly available in pharmacies – and place it in a pot of boiling water, together with the tube; then wait for the tube and the beeswax to melt together into slimy liquid. Next, prepare a syringe to suck out the liquid from the tube, before injecting it in areas around the penis and gently stroking the shaft to smooth out any bumps. The logic, if there is any, behind the process is that the beeswax will solidify inside the penis, hence, enlarging it permanently.

The man did exactly this and was impressed by the results; he became very confident for about a week. After that he noticed a rash around his penis but didn’t pay much attention to it. He bought anti-inflammatory pills but to his surprise, the rashes started appearing all over his groin. The man suffered high fevers and became extremely ill.

His mother found him in bed and took his pants off and discovered a rotten penis. He was immediately taken to hospital for surgery. The doctor had to remove a lot of skin from his shaft and replace it with skin from his scrotum. He is still recovering at hospital.

A journalist went to a pharmacy to get detailed information about the beeswax cream. The pharmacist said that the cream only costs 20 baht, and is often purchased by pet owners to apply to the skin wounds of animals. The pharmacist was surprised that somebody had used the beeswax cream for ‘other purposes’.

Ginseng Gets Genitals Jumping!

KANCHANABURI – Recent hype about a licentious, ginseng root has brought residents to the woods in Kanchanaburi. Interest in the herb began from a rumor that it skyrockets the sex drive.

Armed with digging tools, villagers went in search of the strange plant. Apparently, when it is boiled and drank as a tea, the ginseng dilates blood vessels, elevates core energy, and gets your genitals jumping! Some merchants have already introduced the herb as a new product, selling it at markets for 1,000 baht per root.

The erotic ginseng was discovered by an anonymous local historian who refused to reveal his name. Many old people in the villages are spreading rumors that the plant was brought to the town by an allied army in the Second World War. It was used to keep soldiers on their feet. Thais, though, seem to place focus on the sexual benefits of the root. Many old people are purchasing the ginseng in hope of seeing their good old days return.

The districts chief said that the discovery is highly valuable and should be preserved for generations to come.
