    A 30-year-old Thai foreign worker was killed Thursday after a Qassam rocket hit the greenhouse area in Netiv Ha'asara in the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council, north of the Gaza Strip. Magen David Adom emergency units tried to resuscitate the man but were eventually forced to pronounce him dead.

    The rocket exploded inside a greenhouse and caused it great damage as well as adjacent greenhouses. Sappers spent a considerable amount of time dismantling and collecting the rocket's remains.

    According to estimates, several of the site's workers didn't respond to the Color Red alert which sounded in the community prior to the hit. Security forces are currently present at the site.

    "A Color Red alert was sounded," one of the community's residents related. "We ran to find cover. There were about 20 seconds until we heard a very loud explosion. I saw the smoke and realized it hit a hothouse compound belonging to one of the local residents, where a group of Thai workers was employed. To the best of my knowledge there are concrete shelters and one would have made it there on time, but apparently the workers didn't respond to the warnings," he added.

    The attack marks the third time rockets have been fired into Israeli territory in the last 24 hours. On Wednesday night a rocket exploded in an open area in Sderot. Several hours earlier another rocket landed in the region causing two people to suffer from anxiety.

    The al-Qaeda affiliated Ansar al-Suna Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack. The group also claimed responsibility for the firing of a rocket which hit the Eshkol Regional Council last week. According to recent estimates there is a greater chance that radical Islamist elements will increase firing from Gaza, though Hamas, which controls the Strip, is doing its best to prevent such attacks at the present time.

    During her visit to the Gaza Strip, EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton condemned the firing of the rocket into Israel and said that she condemns "any kind of violence."

  4. Pensioner tells of Thai prison hel_l

    Pensioner who faces assault charges tells of one-month hel_l spent inside Thai prison walls

    A PENSIONER from Burghfield Common has told of his “horrendous” experience after he spent the last month in a Thai prison.

    Although temporarily released, 62-year-old David Harris, risks being sent back to the Nong Plalai Remand Centre for ten years if he is convicted of an assault which left a man with a fractured skull.

    Now, desperate family and friends are trying to get him home and have enlisted the help of Wokingham MP John Redwood to put pressure on the British Foreign Office to get him back.

    Mr Harris was arrested by Thai police on January 16 following a fight with a Welshman on New Year’s Eve and his passport was confiscated until he returned to the courts in May.

    However, in May, Mr Harris was unable to post bail and was thrown into horrific prison conditions until friends and family could raise the £2000 require to release him.

    It was there that he was forced to share an over-crowded 15 by 30 foot cell with more than 70 prisoners as a member of the lowest echelons of the prisoner hierarchy.

    Mr Harris slept on concrete floor just inches from an open and overflowing toilet and lost two stone during the ordeal because the food was inedible.

    During his stay, Mr Harris claims one prisoner in his cell was beaten to death for stealing cigarettes while another was shot while trying to escape and left to hang on the fence for hours.

    One prisoner sharing his cell died from TB and Mr Harris fears he too may have also contracted the disease.

    He said: “The remand centre is horrendous. I never want to go back there.”

    “I will never come back to Thailand. I used to love it here, thinking that the Thai's were such a nice people, but the way that they treat foreigners who have been caught up in their legal system is apalling.”

    Friends and family managed to raise Mr Harris’ bail last Wednesday and he is currently staying with a friend and former Thatcham man, Adrian Holbrook, who now lives in Thailand.

    Mr Holbrook said: “When we got David out he looked awful and had a very bad cough.”

    Mr Harris, who worked as a painter and decorator, was on holiday in Thailand at New Year’s Eve when he was involved in a fight with a Welshman.

    According to Mr Harris, the Welshman fell over during the course of the fight and fractured his skull - resulting in a 20 day hospital stay.

    Mr Holbrook said: “David is not perfect, but who is? In the 25 years I have known him I have never seen him in a fight.”

    How, Mr Harris, who proclaims his innocence, faces both criminal and civil charges for the incident and will make representations in the civil case next week.

    According to Mr Holbrook, if Mr Harris cannot provide the court with all the evidence he intends to use in the case by June 15, despite his prison stay, then he will automatically be found liable for the full civil claim amount of £13,000 under the Thai legal system.

    The troubles in Thailand have also cost Mr Harris his home in the UK as he was unable to pay rent.

  5. YES

    It is just to give approval

    OF MY ADDRESS

    --

    And of course immigration does not know where you live from your 90 day address reports. You probably make your address reports to the same immigration office, even the next desk over. Amazing Thailand!

    usually i live every 3 month

    flight to home country

    to visit the family

    so no 90 day report

  6. ...just have a very good expires in

    chiang khan immigration.

    Thank you for your report, dauu.

    The Chiang Khan immigration office is still missing on the ThaiVisa map. I have now tentatively put a marker in the general area where I think it might be:

    http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp...32bd2dbcea6793f

    1. You can give me the exact coordinates as follows:
    2. On the map, right click on the building of the immigration office.
    3. Click on “Center map here”
    4. At the top right of the screen, click on “Link”
    5. Copy the text from the field “Paste link in email or IM”
    6. Paste that text into your reply to this post.

    Thank you very much.
