This compounds the severity of the crime and triggers multiple additional, high-level charges.  So, Wacharin is in a heap of trouble. The Wildlife Justice Commission says that transporting a smuggled primate into a commercial market like Chatuchak triggers direct prosecution under Thailand's CITES enforcement mechanisms.  So, if I were in his shoes I'd be telling police how was he contacted by the unidentified man, and who at Chatuchak Market was to receive the Langur.</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 18:46:55 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Omani Tourist Hurt as Elephant Kills Mahout in Phang Nga</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397630-omani-tourist-hurt-as-elephant-kills-mahout-in-phang-nga/?do=findComment&comment=20577255]]></link><description>Years ago (25+) when I was young and nieve, I rode an elephant at a "sanctuary." There was not as much information then on how degrading this life was for the elephant. Now, I think that there is more information about the negatives of this practice on the lives of elephants. Yet, there are still places everywhere that still offer the service. In addition, there is now a piliferation of "elephant sanctuaries" in tourist locations claiming that they are "saving" elephants, while the vast majority of them still have shackled elephants performing for tourist dollars. It is all very sad - it is a wonder that more elephants don't revolt.</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 18:40:29 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Myanmar Man Abducted by Indian Ex-Employers in Pattaya</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397711-myanmar-man-abducted-by-indian-ex-employers-in-pattaya/?do=findComment&comment=20577254]]></link><description>HE'S ALSO INDIAN-LOOK AT HIS NAME-KUMAR!</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 18:30:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Mother jailed for trafficking her 12-year-old daughter in Japan, reduced from 15 to 7.5 years after guilty plea.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397742-mother-jailed-for-trafficking-her-12-year-old-daughter-in-japan-reduced-from-15-to-75-years-after-guilty-plea/?do=findComment&comment=20577253]]></link><description>DON'T BE MORE CATHOLIC THAN POPE IN VATICAN!</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 18:27:12 +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=20577252]]></link><description>THAI GIRLS LOVE US-WE MUST BE ETERNALLY THANKFULL!

I was able to sell my exiting bike quite quickly and then went to the Honda dealerships - 6month wait for the ADV 350 - I tried numerous dealerships around BKK - none budging - they'd been over sold at the motorshow.  Personally - I'm with you - I'd steer clear of the Honda Wave.  But - the Op wants that.... but if all he wants is a 7-11 bike - I'd open the scope because they're all very similar at that price point... But one key thing as mentioned earlier - I'd never ride here without ABS.</description><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 18:08:18 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Aussie Faces Murder Charges in Pattaya</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1397691-aussie-faces-murder-charges-in-pattaya/?do=findComment&comment=20577247]]></link><description>Especially important to discuss this here on the forum.

Just because the Taliban &amp; Co had nothing to do with the South-East Asian heroin production, doesn't mean they had nothing to do with the heroin production in their own country!   Also, I'm not denying that some government organisations are involved in the drug trade, but that's totally beside the point.   I'm also aware of who financed and trained all these Middle-Eastern  terrorist organisations.
