Much more likely in Thailand would be geckos (as insects in the roof space would be plenty if there is enough space for them to enter), which would be really harmless, maybe even beneficial.  If it is more "heavy" footsteps, it could be a Tokay (then you would likely hear it call though); getting rid of those would be non-trivial as long as they have food (for example then you would have none of the smaller geckos around).  Even big insects like large centipedes are a possibility; careful, one bites you, it is a trip to the hospital and really nasty pain.  The first things I would check for: - are there lots of geckos around (eg do your cats bring any they caught?) - are there visible spaces where animals could enter; rats can climb even vertical walls in corner spaces, better along or in rain pipes, so I would start looking in corners and roof connections to neighboring buildings; but there still would have to be some kind of opening at least 3-4 cm wide) - if there is any such opening, I would look for rat or mouse droppings; those are dirty animals and they always leave unmistakable traces; it would be a lot worse if the rats are able to enter your house and start gnawing on open food laying around, their droppings are quite toxic.  Either way, happy hunting!</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:35:42 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Doctor Dies After Brit Rider Crash on Phangan</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396256-doctor-dies-after-brit-rider-crash-on-phangan/?do=findComment&comment=20542007]]></link><description>What actually happened ?

Your faux outrage serves only as an opportunity to convey your underlying political sentiments. I need no lessons in understanding the the roles of those who served as multiple members of my family were in active service while others lived under the barbaric Japanese occupation.    Your reference to the national arboretum is nonsensical. Commander David Childs, who founded the arboretum, supports the name change, because it reflects the reality of the facility being supported by the Legion and what the facility is. It is a minor change going from The National Memorial Arboretum to the Royal British Legion National Remembrance Gardens.  The intent and structure remains the same.   Have you even  visited the place? It is not actually an arboretum and is more of a series of gardens with some trees. Located off the A38 the place is situated in an area with a series of memorial and gardens including the the Fleet Air Memorial, Gulf War  Memorial, Children and Families of Far East Prisoners of War Museum and a number of other memorials.  The name change also allows the memorial to be integrated with other similar memorials administered by the Legion eliminating expense duplication such as a specific stand alone board and administrative staff and allows the Legion to provide financial support from the Legion fundraising, as opposed to a separate fundraising (and its associated costs).  Unless you are an active  donor, you most likely not  be aware, let alone appreciate the need to be fiscally responsible.  As for the Commonwealth Gaza graves, the IDF  advised the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) of its operation. The  desecration had occurred long before they entered because the cemetery had a system of Hamas military tunnels and military bunkers. Had Hamas not used the location as a military installation including rocket launch site, the IDF would not have had to enter to destroy the military tunnels. The documentation  of military use was provided to the CWGC. Once Hamas and friends used the cemetery for military purposes, it  became a military target. Unfortunately, it allows people like you to offer hateful faux outrage, while ignoring the  truth that Hamas had  turned the cemetery into a military site and had desecrated the cemetery by doing that.</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:33:21 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>You Can Only Do One...</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396227-you-can-only-do-one/?do=findComment&comment=20542002]]></link><description>Good call.

It&#x2019;s a household rule. His mother worries that unrestricted internet access from his basement quarters could overwhelm the family bandwidth.  Unfortunately, most of those searches are consumed by his ongoing research into Thailand, a country he has never visited and knows almost exclusively through Google Maps and YouTube videos posted by noobs.  The remainder of his education is outsourced to this site, which explains the steady stream of questions whose answers were already visible in the question itself. Once his daily search budget is gone, this site is really his only remaining option.</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:28:17 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump Erupts After House Delivers Iran War Rebuke</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396070-trump-erupts-after-house-delivers-iran-war-rebuke/?do=findComment&comment=20541998]]></link><description>Ya mean the people who build killing machines and weapons of mass destruction?

Is that the group think about which you indicated disdain for earlier? Why are you telling me about your current relationship betwixt yourself and @fredwiggy ? That is your business. Just don't try to tell me how I should conduct mine. You just learn how to deal with yourself and be happy with that. My thoughts about @fredwiggy are mine and I will do with them what I will. I express myself and you express yourself. That's how it works.  Have you noticed how everyone has a slightly different view of how others should express themselves? There should only be this kind of emoji and these rules.... Everyone trying to rig the game to suit themselves. I am not bound by your rules. Respect that.
