Rare Whale Sighting in Thailand's Racha Islands
Holidaymakers on a boat tour around the Racha Islands in Thailand were treated to the rare sight of a whale in its natural habitat. The footage of the majestic creature breaking the water's surface was captured and shared on social media. The Department of Marine and Coastal Resources confirmed that a humpback whale was spotted in the same area in August. Humpbacks are seldom seen in Thai waters, with the last confirmed sighting in the region dating back to 2009.
