Accident Fierce Storm Capsizes Local Fishing Boat off Phuket, One Rescued, One Missing
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A small fishing boat capsized in rough seas off the coast of Phuket during the afternoon of 23 June, leading to one fisherman being rescued and another still missing as search efforts continue amid strong winds and heavy rain. The incident occurred around 16:10, approximately one kilometre off the Thasak Pier in Pa Khlok Subdistrict, Thalang District. According to the Andaman Narenthorn Centre, two local fishermen were on board the boat when it overturned due to rough conditions. One man managed to swim back to shore safely, while the other was last seen clinging to the vessel for about 20 minutes before disappearing. In response, Vice Admiral Suwat Donsakul, Director of the Third Naval Area Command’s Maritime Security Coordination Centre (MSCC), ordered an immediate mobilisation of search and rescue teams. Naval personnel from Phuket’s Navy base deployed inflatable boats and a patrol vessel from the MSCC was dispatched alongside a jet ski team to aid the search. Phuket Kusoldharm Foundation has also joined the operation, deploying divers and inflatable boats to assist in the rescue efforts. All relevant local agencies have been alerted and are supporting the ongoing search. However, progress has been hampered by the severe weather conditions, with officials reporting intermittent heavy rain and persistent strong waves making search operations particularly hazardous. The missing fisherman has not been found before night fall. Rescue operations through continued into the night when weather permitted. Authorities urge caution to all seafarers in the region as the rainy season continues to bring dangerous maritime conditions. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-24 -

Reuters Exclusive: US moving fighter jets to Middle East as Israel-Iran war rages
From NYTimes 4hours ago: We’ve been waiting to hear from President Trump about Iran’s attack on the US base in Qatar, but the president’s first social media post since the strikes is a complaint about media skepticism of his statement that Iran’s nuclear sites were “totally obliterated.” Trump criticized CNN, ABC and NBC, calling them “sleazebags.” OK. Try semi-obliterated. -

Accident Cambodian Worker Missing After Entering Wastewater Pipe to Catch Fish
Picture courtesy of Daily News A 35-year-old Cambodian construction worker remains missing after entering a municipal wastewater pipe in the Huai Talay area of Nakhon Ratchasima to fish. Local rescue teams launched an intensive search operation but were forced to suspend efforts due to rising water levels, prompting renewed safety warnings from local authorities. The incident took place on the afternoon of 22 June, when Mr Chhean Ra, employed at a nearby construction site, entered the underground drainage system with a fellow worker, Mr Eng Nan, 23, also from Cambodia. The pair had reportedly fished in the area on previous occasions during their time off. “We often come here to catch fish, it’s something we’ve done many times before,” said Mr Eng. “Mr Chhean went in first, and we agreed to meet up again in about 20 minutes. But when I came back and called for him, there was no answer. He never came out.” The pipe, which forms part of the local wastewater treatment network at Bueng Hua Talay in Hua Talay subdistrict, is around one metre in diameter and stretches for several kilometres. Officials reported that standing water inside the pipe was normally approximately 50 centimetres deep, though this rose rapidly following heavy rainfall earlier in the day. Rescue teams from the Sawang Metta Dhamma Foundation and Hua Talay Municipality launched a search shortly after receiving the alert. Divers entered the system to begin the operation. However, worsening conditions, including a strong current, poor visibility and limited air time, forced the team to suspend the search after more than four hours, citing safety concerns. Mayor Ekaphop Tomornsak of Hua Talay Municipality confirmed that operations would resume as soon as conditions improved. “We are working closely with rescue teams and technical staff to map the pipe system, identify the shallowest access points and ensure the safety of those involved in the search,” he said. The mayor also issued a stark warning to members of the public and the migrant worker community against entering drainage pipes or stormwater systems. “These pipes are extremely dangerous, especially during the rainy season. People underestimate the risks. This is not the first such incident and unless precautions are taken, it may not be the last.” The municipality has now announced plans to seal off entry points to similar pipes throughout the area to prevent future accidents. A renewed search for Mr Chhean, was scheduled to begin at 09:00 on 23 June, but due to weather safety concerns, was cancelled, as the incident is now considered a body recovery, rather than a rescue.
