However, Trump won't do this. Why?  Two reasons -- for continued somewhat mysterious reasons Trump will never put pressure on Putin. Secondly, he's way too stupid and incompetent to do something so easy to do with a high probability of a success. That's a real shame, but better off for Ukraine to face to reality of what Trump is and will always be.</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:12:05 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Members Poll: REMOVE  the Emojis ?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396206-members-poll-remove-the-emojis/?do=findComment&comment=20542154]]></link><description>Yes, I was just thinking we need something of an exclamation emoji.

Thailand is far too expensive and even more expensive with the manipulated THB. In Viegtnam we saw that the police was working. everybody was wearing an helmet, and vaping was allowed. A few things that Thailand is missing. You can't compare the both countries. Vietnam is working to go forward, but Thailand is waiting with conservative ideas and thinking.</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:07:26 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Word Association - 2026</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1383425-word-association-2026/?do=findComment&comment=20542150]]></link><description>Area</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:06:59 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>My WASP Generation: Is this girl HOT, or not?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396272-my-wasp-generation-is-this-girl-hot-or-not/?do=findComment&comment=20542149]]></link><description>Oh, Originally, I had mistakenly read......

Get today's headlines by email   Police from Pattaya City Police Station and Tourist Police responded to reports of an assault at 1.15am on Pattaya Beach, opposite Baywalk Residence. Rescue workers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Pattaya Rescue Unit were also dispatched to the scene.  Officers found a group of foreign tourists gathered around the injured man, later identified as Mr Hasan Khan MD Mehedi, 48, a Bangladeshi national. He had suffered facial injuries after being punched in the nose, causing a nosebleed.  Rescue personnel provided first aid at the scene. The injured tourist told responders that he did not wish to be taken to hospital for further treatment.    A witness, identified only as Chompoo, said the tourist had been walking along the beach with a group of approximately three to five friends before the attack. According to the witness, the homeless man approached the group without any argument or confrontation taking place beforehand.  The witness said the man suddenly punched the tourist in the face and then immediately fled the area. No further details about the suspect were provided.  Chompoo also stated that the homeless man was well known in the area and was regularly seen along Pattaya Beach. The witness described him as appearing mentally unwell and alleged that he frequently caused disturbance by sitting or urinating in public places, creating discomfort for residents and visitors.  The incident has highlighted ongoing concerns about homeless individuals and people experiencing mental illness who are living in public spaces along Pattaya Beach. Local residents and business operators have called on relevant authorities to carry out inspections, screening measures and long-term solutions to address the issue.  Authorities have not announced any arrests in connection with the assault. It remains unclear whether further action will be taken against the suspect, but calls for improved public safety measures and protection for tourists are expected to continue following the incident.
