An orphaned Irrawaddy river dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris) takes a nap in the arms of its caretaker, while being raised at the rehabilitation facility of Marine Endangered Species Veterinary Hospital on August 01, 2022 in Rayong, Thailand. The Irrawaddy river dolphin was orphaned and rescued from stranding in the Gulf of Thailand on July 23 and then taken into care at Marine Endangered Species Veterinary Hospital of the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources as the chance of a baby dolphin to survive on its own in the wild without its mother is slim. The veterinarians plan to raise the baby Irrawaddy dolphin until it wean and later release it back to the wild when ready, hoping that it would rejoin the pod of this endangered species in the Gulf of Thailand. Irrawaddy River Dolphin is a euryhaline species, often found living in murky coastal zones and rivers of Southeast Asia and the species is listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List of threatened species.

Thai inmates practice meditation as part of a Muay Thai boxing rehabilitation program at Nonthaburi Prison in Nonthaburi province, Thailand, 02 August 2022. The prison in the Bangkok metropolitan region offers the social rehabilitation program to allow participating inmates – currently 13 of an estimated 1,200 prisoners – to learn the national martial art combat sport of Muay Thai boxing. The project was launched in 2020 by the prison's director, Preethida Somchit, a former athlete herself, and the department of corrections but had to be suspended due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The idea was to promote physical and mental health and discipline and reduce violence at the facility. Another goal is to help prepare the prisoners to reintegrate into society and offer them prospects for a better future after their release, either as professional Muay Thai fighters or trainers. The participants train seven hours a day, six days a week, with the help of a licensed trainer and former prison guard. Thailand has the largest prison population in Southeast Asia and one of the world's most overcrowded prison systems. Most prisoners are held for drug offenses, according to an International Federation for Human Rights report. (Photo by Rungroj Yongrit/EPA/EFE)

Amateur fighter, 20 year old clerk Yutthasin Thebamrung, taunts his opponent, an aspiring actor nicknamed Nick Sadday, during an underground martial arts event by “Fight Club Thailand”, at a youth sports centre in the Klong Toey slum, Bangkok, Thailand, 23 July 2022. Inspired by the Hollywood movie “Fight Club”, a group of young martial arts enthusiasts decided to start their own fight club to give regular people, with regular jobs, a place where they can come test themselves against one another or simply release some steam at the end of their work week. Founded in 2016 mainly as a group of youngsters putting up fights in secluded locations, the group decided to incorporate rules to make it safer and protect the fighters. Today, the Fight Club Thailand events showcase Muay Thai fights and Boxing bouts. All fights have only one 3 minute round, where grappling or slamming one's opponent to the ground is not permitted, and elbow strikes, hitting behind the head or neck, are also not allowed. There is medical personal on stand by, and an ambulance ready should there be a serious injury. Although the name may insinuate violence, and the events are certainly filled with it in every fight, the purpose and aim of Fight Club Thailand is to forge friendships through fighting. Fighters leave it all in the 3 minutes they face each other, but once it is over, they are “Fight Club brothers”. (Photo by Diego Azubel/EPA/EFE)

Volunteer Thippunyar Thipjuntar feeds a baby dolphin named Paradon with milk at the Marine and Coastal Resources Research and Development Center in Rayong province in eastern Thailand, Friday, August 26, 2022. The Irrawaddy dolphin calf was drowning in a tidal pool on Thailand’s shore when fishermen found him last month. The calf was nicknamed Paradon, roughly translated as “brotherly burden”, because those involved knew from day one that saving his life would be no easy task. But the baby seems to be on the road to recovery. (Photo by Sakchai Lalit/AP Photo)
