The fatal shooting occurred in Huai Pang Noi, Ban Pa Miang Khun Pang, Moo 7, Mae Pang subdistrict, Phrao district, with authorities spending more than 11 hours recovering the victim&#x2019;s body from difficult mountainous terrain.  Get today's headlines by email   The victim was identified as Banthoeng, 56, a resident of Moo 6, Mae Pang subdistrict, Phrao district, Chiang Mai. Rescue officials received a request for assistance at 8.30pm on 24 June 2026 from local leaders to help retrieve the body from the deep forest.  Initial investigations found that Insorn, 65, had entered the forest on 22 June 2026 to wait for wild boar known to feed on forest fruit in the area. He had constructed a raised hunting platform in a tree within the forest and remained there waiting for animals to appear.  During the afternoon of 24 June, Banthoeng walked into the forest towards the same area, unaware that Insorn was already positioned nearby. As he passed through grass taller than head height close to the hunting location, movement in the vegetation caused Insorn to believe a wild boar was approaching.    Insorn fired a single shot from a shotgun towards the movement. The pellets struck Banthoeng on the right side of his face, causing him to collapse immediately before his cries fell silent.  After climbing down from the platform to inspect the area, Insorn discovered that he had shot a neighbour rather than a wild animal. He then left the forest and informed relatives and community leaders, who contacted police and other authorities.  Police investigators from Long Khot Police Station, a duty doctor, rescue personnel from Phrao Wang Hin Rescue Centre, Mae Pang Municipality rescue workers, village headman Chatree Suphatip, administrative officials and local residents travelled on foot to the scene. The location was situated in steep, remote mountain forest.   Pictures courtesy of ThaiRath  The site access was approximately 10 kilometres from the village, followed by a further 12-kilometre trek uphill into the forest. Recovery operations continued throughout the night under difficult conditions, with officials and villagers carrying the body through dense forest and mountainous terrain.  ThaiRath reported that the body was finally brought to a vehicle access point at 7.00am on 25 June 2026. It was then handed over to investigators and medical authorities for further legal procedures, as the investigation continues.   Join the discussion?   Already a member?

The restriction will apply from 18:00 on 27 June 2026 until 18:00 on 28 June 2026, covering the full voting period for the local election.  Get today's headlines by email   The notice comes ahead of the local election scheduled for 28 June 2026, when residents will go to the polls to select representatives and influence the future direction of city administrations. Officials said the alcohol ban applies across the entire constituencies areas and covers both commercial and private activity during the designated timeframe.  Authorities stated that the restriction forms part of standard election regulations designed to maintain order, transparency, and fairness during the voting process. They added that limiting alcohol availability is intended to reduce the risk of disruption and help ensure that voting takes place in a controlled and lawful environment.  Officials have warned that compliance with the regulation is mandatory under election law. They said that anyone found violating the ban may face penalties of up to six months in prison, a fine of up to 10,000 baht, or both imprisonment and a fine. The enforcement measures are part of wider safeguards used during elections to prevent undue influence and maintain public order.  Residents and business operators have been urged to cooperate fully with the notice and to plan ahead for the temporary ban on alcohol-related activities. Authorities also encouraged eligible voters to participate in the election on 28 June 2026, stressing that turnout is an important part of the democratic process and that each vote carries equal weight in shaping local governance.  Officials added that enforcement teams will be monitoring compliance throughout the restriction period. They said inspections and checks will be carried out across affected areas to ensure adherence to the rules and to respond to any violations.  Authorities are expected to maintain oversight until the end of the restriction window at 18:00 on 28 June 2026.

People are resources. China needs more of them.  Russia invaded Ukraine because basically it needs more Russians; Russia has appalling demographic trends, but Russian face becoming a minority to non-Rus.  China is extremely ethno-nationalist, as the people of Hong Kong discovered. Thousands of people, not of Chinese ethnicity, mostly of Indian or Malaysian ethnicity, but who had been in the territory for generations, found themselves stateless in 1997.  We might pick on the Mao policy as the cause, but all three Chinese countries show similar, aging  populations In fact, Taiwan is the oldest population followed by Singapore.  Tensions within Han Chinese society will drive calls for unification of Chinese peoples. Not just Taiwan. But why no parts of Thailand, parts of Russia.  As Chinese society ages, there will be effects on the workforce. That will drive development in robotics, probably giving them a technological advantage over societies that have less need to automate, such as the US, which still has plenty of kids to turn into factory drones.  Automation of a society is incredibly expensive. China needs to stay rich literally for national survival. Without that revenue it can't innovate its way out of a demographic Gordian knot.  So what happens if someone tries to stop that, such as forcing Chinese companies to leave certain countries, by effective trade blockades. Japan attacked the US because it thought the US was going to threaten its access to resources essential to its national survival.  Wars never start for good reasons, and those who start wars are rarely in control of how it finishes. When the Kaiser invaded Belgium in 1914, did he think it might end with him in exile, and his country impoverished? When Hitler staged the incident on the Polish border in September 1939, did he think it would end with him blowing his brains out in the ruins of Berlin 6 years later. And so on.  When America transitioned from a training mission in South Vietnam, they probably didn't think it would end with marines evacuating on the last Huey out of Vietnam 10 years later, 50,000 dead and a country that was split for a generation, and psychologically scarred for multiple generations.  Russia is going to lose their war. They are not going to achieve their aims. They might call a halt to hostilities, but they won't have won anything. There is nothing worth anything in the decrepit statelet of the Donbass. Ukraine is guaranteed victory, if the definition of victory is that Ukrainians survive as Ukrainian.  If China starts a war, chances are it won't end well for China, and it will probably be a terrible idea for China. But at that point, China will probably feel it had no choice. I suspect President Trump felt the same with Iran, if you go with Rubio's line that the Israelis were launching an attack unilaterally.  So when I hear about demographic challenges in China, it doesn't fill me with hope, but with dread. China might lose a war, but the winners will likely not feel like they won anything.</description><pubDate>Thu, 25 Jun 2026 20:09:56 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>COVID Shots Tied to Lower Risks of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396864-covid-shots-tied-to-lower-risks-of-major-adverse-cardiovascular-events/?do=findComment&comment=20569628]]></link><description>I've not spent long on here tbh but am active on X so saw it there - great summary though.

The first functioning computer was the Zuse in 1941 (you guessed it, NOT American), binary numbers were first thought of by Leibniz. Internet packaging was developed at CERN, the first email sent by a professor in Germany.  And nukes... the USA and Russia both would not have gotten off the ground, literally, without poaching as many German scientists as they could get their hands on. Rockets... the V2 anyone? Heisenberg, you saw the movie?  Everything that came after in US research builds on this foundation, without really very much that was not already thought of and at least theorized in Germany before and during World War II.  The Americans have been really good at copying, stealing and maybe a litte bit of refinement, but they have rested on those laurels now for 75 years.  That you do not know that and bring examples of technologies that do only prove my point so clearly shows -- to me -- that the USA lacks so much education and the average American is so brain-washed that they really believe, in their heart, that all this is American, while you people are simply abusers and users of other peoples good work.
