I went on a business trip to the US in 2005. After having breakfast in the hotel, I asked a (presumably) Mexican waiter for additional "butter" for my toast. The waiter said politely but in a curt fashion: "I don't get your meaning, sir!" I politely repeated the word "butter" after which an old woman sitting opposite me impatiently bellowed at the waiter: "Hee meens budderrr!". I stress that the woman pronounced the "t" in butter as "d" as in budder. The "er" turned from an "a" into "errr" and lets not forget that the "r" became an extended, multiple "rrrrrr". The presumably Mexican waiter than said: "I see!". I came across a lot of Americans who tried to work out whether phrases, such as "I'll chase it up" should it be "I'll chase it down"? Tomaytow vs tomahtoe was also a hot topic and everyone wanted to know whether we all hated Americans because of Bush. 😁Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:46:51 +0000Good initiaitve. But Thailand has 'narrow gauge' tracks, doesn't it? Hence the carriages are pretty narrow too. I didn't read anything in the report about whether new tracks would be installed, but I guess they can still make a narrow luxury train.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:44:32 +0000No. I don't believe in "anything" I only believe in Spinoza's God. Which is literally everything Don't tell me you believe in Mr Hand? The Hand of God controls reality to make things easy for you because you BE-LIEVE. Really? I don't think "Mr Hand" is a very smart bet. https://youtu.be/d77KVMh91kk?si=jg4ZM0jpgLsR2zDmFri, 26 Jun 2026 09:44:20 +0000So why post it on a public forum !Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:44:14 +0000https://aseannow.com/thailand-news/k9-usar-army-engineers-test-drones-for-rescues-in-thailand-r2491/K9 USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) Thailand has conducted a joint training exercise with the Development Military Command under the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters to improve the country’s search and rescue capabilities in hard-to-reach areas. Get today's headlines by email The exercise focused on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, alongside search and rescue operations. The initiative forms part of efforts to develop innovation and strengthen Thailand’s capacity to respond to future disaster situations. According to K9 USAR Thailand, the training was designed to study and enhance search and rescue capabilities in areas that are difficult to access. The exercise also aimed to support preparations for future missions involving assistance to disaster victims. Pictures courtesy of Komchadluek The collaboration brings together the expertise of K9 USAR Thailand and military personnel to explore how drone technology can support search and rescue operations. The use of UAVs may help teams assess terrain, locate victims and improve operational efficiency in challenging environments. K9 USAR Thailand said the exercise marks only the beginning of a broader effort to develop knowledge, technology and joint operational procedures. The organisation noted that further study, testing and continued development will be required to build on the initial findings. The project forms part of ongoing efforts to raise the effectiveness of Thailand’s search and rescue capabilities. Officials involved in the programme are expected to continue evaluating and refining operational approaches as the work progresses. Komchadluek reported that further training, testing and research are expected as the participating organisations continue to develop technologies and operational methods aimed at improving disaster response and rescue operations across Thailand.

The Burmese Generals should be forced to fight on the front lines with their troops but would be too scared to do so!!Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:35:42 +0000I believe any juvenile who believes they were exploited should get a fair hearing. There are more than enough girls who participate willingly. It's very difficult to get a fair trial in Thailand: 90% conviction rate. Unlike the West, no one would judge him in Thai prison. FFS, she was 17!Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:32:44 +0000Yeah right. Violence against people shouting. That’s really a cure for the problem of hooliganism eh Einstein?Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:32:43 +0000Wow! That’s an expensive trip. At least it includes complimentary water.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:32:41 +0000Yes, it would be a great way to see the country. I kind of think it’s being done the wrong way round though. I would have thought that you would need to focus on train tracks, network and rolling stock to get the thing going. Those seem to me to be the foundations of the house, so to speak. I’m sure there are some pretty pictures to show around, but without cold hard cash to get these things ordered AND built, this is likely to be a talking shop project that is light on delivery. It is actually the sort of thing that TAT should be focusing on because it would represent a move up market for Thailands tourism product. More so than Pattaya bars being open all night anyway.Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:32:25 +0000DSS personnel are part of the US diplomatic staff and carry diplomatic statusFri, 26 Jun 2026 09:32:19 +0000Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:31:23 +0000https://aseannow.com/thailand-news/cyber-police-bust-online-gambling-network-in-sa-kaeo-r2490/Thai cyber police, led by senior officers of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau, raided a house on 25 June 2026, in village Moo 11, Khlong Nam Sai subdistrict, Aranyaprathet district, Sa Kaeo province, and arrested two suspected administrators of the illegal online gambling network “Mix77”. The suspects, both 27-year-old residents of Sa Kaeo province, were detained under a search warrant issued by the Sa Kaeo Provincial Court (No. 82/2568). Get today's headlines by email Officers seized a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet, and two mobile phones believed to be used in running the operation. The site was operating from a residential property located approximately 200 metres from the Cambodian border. The investigation found that the “Mix77” website had been running for more than one year and had accumulated around 45,000 registered members. Authorities estimated that the network generated about 45 million Thai baht in monthly turnover, or approximately 540 million baht per year. The platform offered a range of illegal betting services, including football betting, lottery, slot machines, baccarat, dragon tiger, sic bo, and poker. Transactions were conducted through automated bank transfer systems, with users able to deposit and withdraw funds directly via the website. Investigators also found that the operation was supported by administrators who provided customer service and technical assistance to users. The suspects reportedly confessed to working as online administrators for around four to five months, receiving a salary of 15,000 baht per month from investors believed to be based in Cambodia. Police officials stated that the operation formed part of a wider crackdown on online gambling networks ahead of major international sporting events, including the 2026 football season, which authorities fear could increase youth exposure to gambling. During digital forensic analysis, investigators discovered that the suspects were also linked to six additional gambling websites, including suk99dd, 99ezbkk, mix77d1, 77acgg, gameplus168.asia, and w45.asia. Authorities said further investigations are ongoing to identify higher-level operators and financial beneficiaries behind the network, particularly those operating across the border in Cambodia. ȚhaiRath reported that evidence gathered from seized devices will be used to map connections between administrators, payment channels, and related websites. Legal proceedings are expected to continue under charges related to organising and promoting illegal gambling through electronic systems without authorisation. Join the discussion? Already a member?
