Anyone Else Finding AseanNow Almost Unusable Recently❓
edwinchester replied to Skeptic7's topic in Forum Support Desk
Dreadful experience trying to view any topic right now. Click one and it takes at least 20 seconds to start loading. Way too many ads and pop-ups appearing. I appreciate the website is a free resource but there is a limit to the number of totally irrelevant ads I will put up with appearing on my screen. Can't fathom why the user experience has declined by so much over the years. It's coming to the point where I'll probably sign in once or twice a year to catch up on any Immigration changes come extension time. -

Southern insurgents wreak havoc in Tak Bai, chaos erupts
edwinchester replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
I think you are confusing Krue Se Mosque massacre with the TakBai Incident. Tak Bai was a protest outside a police station there in protest of the detention of six men. The army detained about 1300 protesters and then transported them stacked in the back of army trucks for five hours to an army camp. 78 died of suffocation and organ failure. -

Then Army Chief Gen Prawit Wongsuwong was in overall control of military operations at the time perhaps somebody can try and wake him from his nap time to shed some light on the event.
