Accident Labourer Missing for 11 Days Found Trampled to Death by Elephant
Picture courtesy of Amarin. A labourer who had been missing for 11 days was discovered dead in the forest near his workplace, having been trampled by wild elephants. At around 13:00 on 5 July, rescue workers from Sawang Katanyu Rescue Station at Pong Nam Ron were alerted by villagers to a body found deep in the forest of Village 2, Ban Wang Krapae, Thap Sai Subdistrict, near the foothills of Khao Som in Soi Khao Soi Dao, Chanthaburi. Authorities including the Pong Nam Ron district chief, police investigators, forest rangers, and military officers arrived at the scene to investigate. Due to the presence of a large herd of wild elephants in the area, the team took precautions by firing cracker signals to warn the elephants of their approach and carefully positioning forest officials to monitor and protect the searchers. The scene was marked by numerous elephant footprints surrounding the site. The body was badly mutilated; the head was missing, with only a clump of hair remaining, and a strong odour of decomposition was present, indicating the victim had been dead for approximately 11 days. Locals identified the victim as Mr. Nadpong Jansila, about 20 years old, who worked as a garden labourer nearby. He lived in a small shelter within the garden about 500 metres from where his body was found. According to villagers, Mr. Nadpong was believed to have been gathering kawaan plants near the garden edge when he encountered a herd of wild elephants. Attempting to flee, he ran into the forest but was likely unable to escape and was fatally trampled. Before the discovery, his motorcycle was still parked and locked inside his shelter, raising suspicions among neighbours and his employer about his disappearance. Despite searches over several days, the victim remained missing until the grim discovery. This event highlights ongoing risks faced by villagers living near wildlife habitats and the challenges of coexisting with wild elephant populations. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-07-06 -

Where can patients smoke their meds?
For some people the buzz is the medicinal aspect. This is subjective from person to person though. More research is needed into cannabis to have a better understanding. Which was hampered by years of prohibition and lack of access to proper research. You are correct that it was abused but that also comes from how the roll out happened. No foresight just some rich politicians looking to make a buck. Without a care of the consequences. They need to look to Canada how to do it right. Legalized federally and highly controlled and regulated. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Agree, specs don't match the price. Styling is obviously the selling point. Did look nice, and I like the practicality of the squared off body, affording more interior space to be utilized. Probably roomy enough to sleep in, already having roof rack for cargo. Less than 10 cm longer, overall length, than our SUV, but does appear roomier in the cargo area. Why not just use a tent ... we need AC most of the year. Tried camping in our small (shorter) SUV, and simply not enough room, along with, if O&A, where to put your 'cargo', as no dedicated roof rack, and all our crap, just doesn't fit in the front seat area, or what's left when moved and leaning forward. -

Military Royal Thai Air Force Unveils Locally-Made Kamikaze Drone
Picture courtesy of Amarin. In a significant step forward for Thailand’s defence capabilities, the Royal Thai Air Force has officially unveiled a homegrown “Kamikaze UAV”, a suicide drone designed for precision strike missions. The announcement was made on 5 July 2025, with military officials hailing the development as a major achievement in indigenous defence technology. The Kamikaze UAV, also referred to as a “suicide drone”, is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) engineered to deliver high-impact explosive payloads with pinpoint accuracy. The drone is capable of mid-range assaults and has demonstrated an impressive targeting deviation of less than five metres during field trials. This cutting-edge project is the result of close collaboration between the Navaminda Kasatriyadhiraj Royal Air Force Academy, the Directorate of Aeronautical Engineering, and the Royal Thai Air Force’s Aviation and Space Research and Development Centre (AVSREC). The UAV is equipped with a high-powered warhead and has already passed rigorous testing, successfully neutralising designated targets in controlled conditions. Military officials stated that the Kamikaze UAV marks a pivotal step toward the mass production and deployment of Thai-made smart weaponry, enhancing the nation’s ability to defend its sovereignty with advanced military technology. “This achievement not only demonstrates our technological potential but reinforces the importance of self-reliance in national defence,” a senior air force official said. The unveiling of the drone aligns with the Royal Thai Air Force’s broader modernisation strategy, aimed at reducing dependence on foreign suppliers and fostering homegrown innovation in defence systems. As one senior figure put it, “National security cannot be bought with money, it must be built by our own hands.” The new UAV is expected to enter active service in the near future, significantly bolstering Thailand’s aerial strike capabilities while setting a benchmark for future domestic defence developments.

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Hamas has not agreed to anything. On the contrary, they rejected the wording that Qatar and Egypt drafted and provided "amendments", and still refuse to release all hostages immediately. All theyt are doing is dragging this out. Until Hamas agrees to release hostages and to stop hostilities, Israel can still seek to liberate its people.
