Flooding everywhere in Hua Hin on Wednesday morning? What time? And do you mean downtown Hua Hin, Hua Hin city and/or Hua Hin district?

Trump's mental collapse began many years ago.

Liberating hardworking American workers of their money to feed US billionaires.

Umm American Liberation Day. Or American Suicide Day.

Or walk around in shopping malls topless.

Why "all" tourists, and not only those who plan to use? Will a 6 month old infant be required to go through this process?

Of course, China needs to rapidly move in resources to reclaim the rare earth mines which the Myanmar resistance have taken control of, and to reclaim other important Chinese enterprises in Myanmar which the junta lost to the resistance.

How about "World pissed off with Trump & very angry"?

As most of us know, Japan is more prone to earthquakes than Thailand. We also know, over many decades Japanese governments have changed building regulations and building inspection requirements in an attempt to minimize damage and loss of life when the next earthquake hits. Japanese governments have been, and continue to be, proactive with respect to natural disasters. Meanwhile, in Thailand ...

Now they can turn their attention to building standards. I note in today's news an item which revealed that Thai public hospitals in 17 provinces were damaged by the earthquake. More than 17 Ministry of Public Health hospitals!!!! Should not this issue be investigated, especially with all the kickbacks involved?

That was quick - a complete comprehensive examination of all bridges - from end to end and top to bottom (including under water) - was completed by highly qualified fully certified structural engineers - and the bridges are all safe. Now they can start on the hundreds of kilometres of raised motor ways and the hundreds of kilometres of BTS lines - inspections to be competed by the end of this month?

Money will change hands; the big influential boys/families will be protected; an appropriate (Myanmar worker) scapegoat will be anointed. Business as usual.

Great picture - look at all the mechanical equipment at the collapse site helping in the search for survivors.

Is this going to be his refuge after Trump destroys the planet?

Calm down Donny, you will have a heart attack. On second thoughts .....

LOL Most of the world does not follow the USA.

Taking any medication is potentially fatal, just as is any "simple" surgery. Consumer beware, and take precautions. Personally, after I receive any vaccine I always remain in the hospital/clinic for an hour just in case there any adverse side-effects. Similarly, if I take any new medication, I am alert to any adverse side-effects and ready to cal 1669 if any appear.

In a word "no". The explicit great ignorance of some and the desire by others to deliberately spread disinformation is disturbing; but a reflection of the world we live in; a world that will be soon gone.

Big big brother has arrived. Added to that all the data DOGE has collected, the new improved neo-Nazi Fascist xAI will act to identify the enemies, vilify them on Musk social media, and allow the Trump-Vance-Musk storm-troopers to terminate them. Germany 1930 repeat.

That was a nice trip down memory lane.

So many hospitals impacted. Why?

Why? They have been blinded by MAGA propaganda.

Interesting results so far. Can we ask the same question in the USA?

Your last paragraph says it all. Seeing the high rise "water falls" was one thing; but seeing many many images on social media of the damage done to many buildings, one has to question not only the quality of the construction, but also the ability of Thai emergency services to cope with a "small" disaster. Seeing many videos of people running out of buildings and along streets in downtown Bangkok, I thought, what would happen if a few of these tall buildings collapsed, if a building collapsed onto a BTS track? Yesterday's quakes just needed to be one magnitude stronger or a few hundred kilometres closer to Bangkok, then ... Another report this morning stated that Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt ordered 130 building inspectors to inspect structures - only 130 inspectors for all of Bangkok, how long will it take to just inspect any building which sustained damage yesterday?

Do you really think the most Thai politicians and most wealthy Thai families care about the people, the workers?
