I have done extensive reading about cocks, and poultry, in fact.  When times are hard, people resort to the raising of poultry in order to add cheaper protein, yet higher-quality protein, to the family diet.  Recently, in my neighborhood, the sound of cocks crowing in the morning has become more pronounced.  Why is this?  Does the VOLUME of Cock-Crows reflect the state of the Thai economy?  Could it be that some families, maybe many families, have decided that raising their own protein on their balconies, or anywhere there might be a small open space, might reduce the amount of money they need to pay for basic sustenance?  What We Know about COCKS&#x2026;&#x2026;:  Raising a cock, or hens, is the most efficient way to add protein to one&#x2019;s diet, when one is on a critically restricted budget.  Do you doubt me?  Here is the evidence:    Or, I might be wrong&#x2026;because&#x2026;perhaps&#x2026;.. My neighbors have taken to raising poultry as pets?  But, I do not think so. No, I am sure that I cannot be wrong. For the average family, raising poultry in their tiny residential yard, or even on construction sites, is the best option.  I have nothing against this practice of raising poultry in a residential neighborhood, of course. Everybody loves the sound and the stench.  And, I might buy a few roosters, myself, next week.  After all, there is no law against doing so, is there? ANYWHERE?   Best regards, Gamma   Note: During the Great Depression in the USA, almost every house had a chicken coup and a rooster, or two.  Is history repeating itself, do you think?</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/image.png.25d10302136fb97b0f72a4ce01d3a63f.png" length="260228" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 22:22:39 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Supreme Court Hands Trump Big Win but Three Setbacks</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397736-supreme-court-hands-trump-big-win-but-three-setbacks/?do=findComment&comment=20575795]]></link><description>But that win is also subject to having a Senate that will confirm the replacements to fired agency heads.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 22:22:28 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Pattaya Police Save British Man From Sea</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397743-pattaya-police-save-british-man-from-sea/?do=findComment&comment=20575794]]></link><description>Another reminder that &#x201C;just a couple of beers on Pattaya Beach&#x201D; is rarely just a couple of beers.</description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 22:22:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Turk Held With Cocaine at Suvarnabhumi</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397631-turk-held-with-cocaine-at-suvarnabhumi/?do=findComment&comment=20575793]]></link><description>A daughter and son have multiple ones also, but you can only see one if she wears short sleeve shirts.

Get today's headlines by email   At 11.10pm on 29 June 2026, duty investigation officers Lt. Thannathon Katanyu and Lt. Bowornsak Boonman of Pattaya City Police Station were carrying out their duties when a member of the public alerted them that a foreign tourist had entered the sea in dangerous circumstances. Believing there was no time to wait for patrol officers or rescue workers, the two officers immediately made their way about 500 metres from the police station to location on Pattaya Beach.  On arrival, they found a Thai man restraining one of the British tourists while the man’s travelling companion was arguing and shouting nearby. The officers spoke with them to calm the situation, as both appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. TravelGuides &amp; Travelogues   Picture and video courtesy of แจ็ค โพธิ์แดง  Police established that the two men had travelled to Pattaya after returning from Koh Larn and had been drinking beer on the beach. They were due to fly back to Leeds, England, the following day. The men identified themselves to authorities, as Matthew O’Rourke, 32, and Matthew Sharp, 44, both British nationals travelling together.  Witness Kanthima Phuangcharoen, 18, said she saw one of the men remove his shirt, shouting he wanted to die and swim out to sea before beginning to struggle in the water. She alerted her friends, who stopped drinking beer and entered the sea to help. The man had swum about 30 metres from shore and rescuers had to swim out twice before successfully bringing him safely back to the beach.  Mr Sharp later told officers he had recently lost his daughter and a close friend, leaving him under severe emotional stress and causing him to contemplate taking his own life. Police separated the two men as they began arguing again, before taking Mr Sharp to Pattaya City Police Station, where he was given water and allowed to rest until he had calmed down. Officers then contacted a friend, who collected him and returned him safely to his accommodation.

The Criminal Court in Bangkok delivered the ruling on 29 June, reducing the original 15-year term by half due to her confession. The defendant was convicted on charges of human trafficking conspiracy and facilitating the prostitution of another person.  Get today's headlines by email   The court heard that the mother claimed she was taking her daughter on a holiday trip, but instead arranged for the child to work in a massage parlour offering sexual services in Tokyo. The defendant later travelled to Taiwan to engage in prostitution herself, where she was arrested. Meanwhile, the victim, now aged 13, managed to escape and sought assistance from the Tokyo Immigration Police, and is now under the care of the Paweena Hongsakul Foundation for Children and Women.   Picture courtesy of ThaiRath  The defendant had no prior criminal record, but a background investigation revealed she had previously worked in massage parlours abroad. These trips typically lasted 14 to 19 days and earned her between 50,000 and 80,000 baht per visit. The court found that her actions violated multiple laws, including the Criminal Code, the Anti-Human Trafficking Act, and the Child Protection Act.  Manger Online reported that during the hearing, the defendant was visibly distressed and broke down in tears. Her parents, her seven-year-old daughter, her youngest son, and other relatives attended the courtroom to offer support.
