https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenIt really does appear that the tourist zones of Phuket and Pattaya have declined to the point of barely being recognizable from what they once were. And it's insatiable quest for higher tourist numbers Thailand has invited in a lot of dregs, and a lot of criminals, and a lot of people who are just hyped up on adrenaline and drugs. The number one rule for many of us here is you just never get into a fight with Thai people. If you win the fight you lose, and if you lose the fight you lose. And no matter how it turns out it will normally lead to all kinds of trouble. Let's figure out a way to get rid of the loser brigade.Sat, 30 May 2026 19:00:40 +0000Clinton was the last competent president. I was against his 180 when he went for China's admission to the WTO. That had terrible consequences. Trump is not the Antichrist, but the Antipresident.Sat, 30 May 2026 18:56:13 +0000He didn't enter a plea so he'll be back in court in September - that's three months from now. If he pleads not guilty then there will have to be a criminal trial date set which would probably happen mid next year at the earliest. That's about the same timeframe as anybody else, Muslim or not. Sorry to shut down your little paranoid conspiracy nonsense. How does that feel? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8xw2kjy89eoSat, 30 May 2026 18:53:56 +0000What foreign nationals don't understand ,unlawful act can get you deported. ICE @ERODallas A jury found a foreign national of Mexico, guilty of indecent assault. The court sentenced him to 200 days confinement, but his sentence was suspended. He ended up on probation and ordered to have no contact with a specific woman, who soon after filed a protective order against him. https://x.com/ICEgov/status/2060541777241604195?s=20Sat, 30 May 2026 18:51:21 +0000Usually it is a farang who jumps in jumping season,but a thai doing it ask questionsSat, 30 May 2026 18:50:37 +0000It hasn't hurt Canadian tourism, nor Dutch tourism. Germany doesn't have the problems you describe. The problem is not the decriminalization, it is the person who is being allowed in and the failure to deal with the people consistently when they misbehave. If someone misbehaves in Singapore, there will be consequences. The police will not accept tea money. Even in Malaysia where there is police corruption, there is a consistent approach to nuisance visitors. Thailand's problems with tourists are in large part, its own doing.Sat, 30 May 2026 18:49:25 +0000Silly man he should have known better,go pay the fine unlock the bike and drive off.Now he will pay alot more and maybe jail time to think about what he doneSat, 30 May 2026 18:47:57 +0000I think the doctor knows exactly what he is doing.Sat, 30 May 2026 18:47:49 +0000Taxi driver mafia exist and maybe the man did not follow the rules.Goodluck in finding who done it.Sat, 30 May 2026 18:44:57 +0000Patriots.

This fits the pattern of post Dobbs (2022) intimidation tactics against justices , protests at homes, assassination attempts (like on Kavanaugh), doxxing, and now repeated swatting/bomb threats. "Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of a “swatting” incident – a false call reporting gunshots intended to provoke a response from law enforcement officials – on Wednesday night, according to a report on social media". https://www.scotusblog.com/2026/05/barrett-targeted-in-swatting-incident/Sat, 30 May 2026 18:43:53 +0000Security guards love it when a tourist gets out of hand and this happens. They don,t ask for it but it happensSat, 30 May 2026 18:40:45 +0000Looking at the table and what was left,his flat mate also lived there.The pic says a thousand wordsSat, 30 May 2026 18:37:49 +0000Ahh so that's how you are labeling patriots now.Sat, 30 May 2026 18:35:45 +0000Possibility does not mean proven beyond reasonable doubt. Your arguments are valid for civil liability, but do not support the burden of proof requirement for a criminal pursuit.Sat, 30 May 2026 18:34:19 +0000Back of a pick up and he fell.Where was he sitting in the back.Now the begging bowl starts and 150 k really to get him back.Sitting in the rear of a pick up you hang on or sit at the back as u see everyone doesSat, 30 May 2026 18:33:30 +0000I expect that he used the electronic kiosk to check in and avoided having to speak with a desk agent. If he only had carryon baggage, he could have gone right to the gate. At the gate, he would have been allowed to board if he appeared coherent and sober. Many people on the junket flights are like him, so he would not necessarily been out of place. After surgical procedures, the recommended waiting period for flights of 2 hours or less is 7-14 days. The waiting period for more extensive work is 30 days. The "influencer" flew after 5 days and put himself for a medical emergency onboard the flight. The airline did him a favour. Not one mention of the questionable ethics of the medical doctor(s) who performed the unnecessary procedure.Sat, 30 May 2026 18:28:43 +0000Sticking with the Anthony Gordon topic........Sat, 30 May 2026 18:20:35 +0000For mild cases like the OP's, what about a short course (7-10 days) of combination of an antibiotic and an NSAID anti-inflammatory, for example tmp-sulfamethoxazole plus celecoxib or etodolac. This is often prescribed in the west by clinicians, even when the urine test are negative for an infection, as it is found to be effective quite often for the initial stages of the BPH. It makes sense to have this trial short treatment, before committing to longer-term medications described above. Is this not a common practice in Thailand?Sat, 30 May 2026 18:19:12 +0000Next court date is October I believe.Sat, 30 May 2026 18:07:24 +0000Huge AI datacenters which might take over surveillance… It is one possibility among several others. That is the issue I had with Leo's article, too many occurrences of "this is what is going to happen", "they are doing this because they are going to do that", "you will be made to do that", etc. AI is a tool which can be used well or badly. Nothing has happened yet and just because Trump says something does not mean it will happen, as evidenced by the countless statements he has made before, the net effect of which was to draw attention and interest in a given issue. Example: Remember when Trump did that press conference with Oracle's Larry Ellison by his side in January 2025, when they both appeared very enthusisatic about the prospect of "customizing mRNA vaccines to treat cancer within 48 hours"? A ripple instantly teared across the Substack landscape, as the Truth Tellers jumped to their keyboards to tell their subscribers: "You see? Trump is a globalist and now this is going to happen, then that is going to happen"… Of course, when RFK defunded the mRNA platform six months later, a silence fell over the Substack universe… but was quickly broken by Trump's next statement, on which they all eagerly jumped. They are in a neverending hamster wheel while Trump remains ahead of them, calling the shots and directing the dynamics… for what result? Awareness expands among the general public, in great part thanks to X. I don't wave it away, I acknowledge it and then complete it with other existing factors in order to have a full picture and draw the most appropriate conclusion. For example, I never denied the dangers and nefarious intents behind CBDCs, and I always encouraged spreading awareness regarding those who promoted them… but I also immediately noted that Trump banned them (and terminated what had been initiated by the Biden administration) by Executive Order during his first week in office. Therefore, the most appropriate conclusion is that they simply aren't going to happen. Both the above issues have existed for decades, it's just that now we are in an engineered acceleration phase (emphasis on "engineered") so the effects are felt a lot harder… But why? The frogs were content with a slow simmer, but the heat was suddenly cranked up, jolting them awake.Sat, 30 May 2026 18:07:09 +0000Another illiterate Limey No wonder your country looks like PakistanSat, 30 May 2026 18:04:12 +0000Mostly for marijuana pardons , while Trump 🤡has pardoned much more serious criminals, regards worgeordieSat, 30 May 2026 17:58:07 +0000Sanctuary rules once again turned local jails into revolving doors in Newsom's California for someone who shouldn't have been here at all.
