Neighbors got hold of Udom's sister, but they could not find the severed organ.
They had to call Saithong on her mobile phone. She told them she had tossed it behind the fence in the front yard.
Nearly two hours went by before surgeons at Khon Kaen University's Srinakharin Hospital could operate. Finally, they reattached Udom's penis, but said there was only a 50-50 chance it would function properly.
Saithong told police at Kosum Pisai that she cut off Udom's penis in a fit of rage because he was leaving her. She hoped he would stop philandering and stay with her if he could no longer function sexually.
"I love him and I don't want him to leave," she said.
Mugged three times in an hour
A German man who was mugged in a nightclub was mugged again two more times while waiting for the police.
Reiner Hamer, 27, from Oberhausen, lost his wallet containing $144 and his mobile phone when three men attacked him in the toilet of his local nightclub.
He called police from outside the club using a friend's mobile, but while he waited for them to arrive, he was approached by three other men who stole his watch and cigarettes.
As he leaned back against the wall to recover, another five men approached him and again threatened him, stealing his jacket and the last of the small change.
Maggots on the menu
A German restaurant claims to be fully booked for weeks after adding maggots to the menu.
Dishes at the Espitas restaurant in Dresden include maggot ice cream, maggot salads and maggot cocktails.
The restaurant is importing the "nutritious and extremely tasty" maggots from Mexico.
Espitas owner Alexander Wolf said, "We are the first in the world as far as I know to start importing them.
"What started out as a bit of a joke has exceeded all expectations. We started serving them about a month ago, and now we have guests spreading the word to their friends, and we are now fully booked for weeks ahead.
"Most are disgusted but try them out of curiosity or for a dare, and are actually amazed at how good they taste. Many people come back again, and usually bring more friends with them.
"We serve maggot salads, fried maggots with cactus and corn, maggot desserts such as maggots in ice cream or chocolate sauce, and of course maggot cocktails.
"The maggots have proved to be such a success that I'm now preparing my next project: a delicious traditional Mexican dish of ant eggs and grasshoppers in several variations."
Sarah Azubi, 17, said, "I had them deep fried, they were crunchy like chips and tasted a bit like nuts, with a soft juicy bit in the middle around a crunchy shell."
