Without that tidbit of information, I'm open to the possibility that it was a drug overdose and the guy just panicked to get rid of the body.  That doesn't exonerate the guy, but it would paint a different picture.  Or, it may have been an act of violence.  Have there been any updates in Thai media?</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 01:01:41 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Man Collecting Dung Killed by Elephant in Krabi Plantation</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397579-man-collecting-dung-killed-by-elephant-in-krabi-plantation/?do=findComment&comment=20571267]]></link><description>The power of even just an Asian elephant is incredible and the though of being flung about or trampled by one isn't a particularly pleasant one. Nasty way to go.   Right up there with a shark attack, or by a large, land-based, apex predator.  On my drives north to Nong Khai and Bueng Kan, I travel via the Nam Nao National Park.  There are several signs along this 90-odd km road warning of elephants crossing.   Although I have yet to see one, the closest I have is driving past a still-steaming pile of dung on the roadside. I have - as, no doubt, you would have as well - read on more than one occasion of a car full of people ploughing into an elephant at some considerable speed, killing the occupants of said car while the beast walks away with a bruised leg or whatever. So one drives attentively, minimising the risk.  Surely, one would think a person working amongst or even just nearby elephants - as a farmer/labourer in the area - would know not to get too close, yes?  I liken it to sticking one's hand blindly into a hole and hoping one gets a turtle and not a viper.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 01:01:09 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Gulf States Question US Security Guarantees</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397478-gulf-states-question-us-security-guarantees/?do=findComment&comment=20571266]]></link><description>America has lost all respect in the world because of the moron you have for president !!  so why should the Gulf States trust America !!

No life.  Actually, my first statement is a lie. I don't feel the least bit sorry for you. You made the banal and meaningless existence you sort of live. It's not my fault you are bereft of any accomplishment of any value in life.  It's beyond your ability to comprehend that there are people in this world who have standards, character, integrity, and a belief in the ideals of the nation from which they come. Trump is anathema to everything I believe, so perhaps I take a few minutes a day to rant, make jokes about the clown, etc. You are more obsessed with Trump than any of his critics, as you cannot stop yourself from entering every single Trump-related thread. Look in the mirror, fanboy.  I suppose I should be jealous of someone who claims to be near genius, whose life involves posting 100,000 times, under maybe a dozen names, on an obscure Forum, plus boast of having visited 66 Thai provinces, as if that is some sort of meaningful accomplishment and evidence of a full and rich life.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:57:23 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Peak Trump</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397582-peak-trump/?do=findComment&comment=20571260]]></link><description>Yes it would be mostly bad and mostly lies.

Part Socialist policies work quite well in many countries acrossss the world. An  obvious example is national health schemes which are present in many countries with some success.  I grew up in a country where 'share the wealth', 'support each other' etc., were very normal. And we have a quite successful national health scheme where everything about health is provided by the national health, close to free.</description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:55:03 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Australian Arrested at Bangkok Airport Over Pattaya Murder</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397575-australian-arrested-at-bangkok-airport-over-pattaya-murder/?do=findComment&comment=20571256]]></link><description>According to data from Wikipedia's crime in Thailand, Thailand records approximately 1,500 to 1,800 murders each year.
