On November 6, officials from Bang Lang National Park received a report of tiger-like footprints near a durian orchard in Ban Pa Deng, Yala Province. The footprints measured 10.5 cm wide and 12 cm long. Later, on the night of November 6, villagers reported hearing a disturbance, and the next morning discovered that a monkey, which had been tied to a tree, was missing, with claw marks resembling those of a tiger found on the tree. Authorities, including local village leaders, police, and park officials, conducted a search and located the monkey’s remains. To monitor the situation, they installed wildlife cameras in the area.

On November 11, images retrieved from these cameras showed a tiger consuming the monkey’s remains, suspected to be the same tiger responsible for the footprints found earlier. The villages, located near the Hala-Bala forest reserve, are coordinating with conservation officials to assess the tiger's movements. Bang Lang National Park will collaborate with wildlife experts to safely guide the tiger back into the forest and will maintain security patrols with local volunteers to ensure resident safety.
