I Came for a Beer, Not Your Bleedin’ Life's Proper Grim Story!
Right then, picture the scene lads. I’m sittin’ in me Buakhao local yesterday, nice corner stool, ice cold Leo in me hand, just enjoyin’ a bit of peace and quiet after a day of scorchin’ heat, swamp arse, and baht-bus fumes. Not a care in the world, just me, the beer goin' in me gob, and a bit of ceiling-fan therapy. Then along comes this geezer, proper sweaty mess, eyes like a kicked puppy. I first clocked him as an Aussie, but nah, wasn't. Lad was from across the pond. Then the bloke just plonks himself right next to me like I’m his long-lost aunt. Next thing I know, he’s chewin’ me ear off like a starvin' rat on a block of cheddar. Bangin’ on about how he's retired RAF and how the bloody British Embassy’s just ruined his life. I’m sittin’ there noddin’ politely, thinkin’ maybe they’ve lost his passport renewal application or somethin’ normal. Nope. Turns out the tragedy of his life is that he went marchin’ in there with his Thai sweetheart, ready to sign the visa guarantee papers and jet off to the land of Greggs and drizzle together… only to have his plans dashed when the visa officer asks him all polite-like if he reckons he's gonna be applyin’ for a same-sex marriage visa. I nearly spat me beer out. Poor sod was gobsmacked, says it hit him like a double-decker bus with no brakes. All this time thinkin’ he was romancin’ a lady, turns out he was balls-deep in a post-op unit and never clocked it. Now he’s sittin’ there wailin’ into his pint, heartbroken, moanin’ on about broken dreams, scams, and false hopes, like I’m gonna whip out me violin and play him a sad little tune, FFS. And then came the kicker, lads. Right in the middle of his oversized meltdown he leans in, dead serious, like we’re havin’ some big philosophical debate, and asks me, “Lewie mate… be straight with me, yeah, does this make me gay then?” Like I’m fekkin bloody Professor Freud sittin’ there with a pint instead of a pipe in me hand. Right, I just stared at him, wonderin’ how I’d gone from enjoyin’ me quiet beer to bein’ dragged into a full-blown identity crisis. Meanwhile, I’m half noddin’ along like a bloke who gives a toss when all I really want is five minutes of peace to watch me footy on the telly without bein’ dragged into someone’s love-loss hormone disaster. Look mate, we aren't besties, and I came for a cold one, not a front-row seat to your gender discovery meltdown. That’s Pattaya for ya though. One minute you’re mindin’ your own, next minute you’re a therapist for some geezer who only found out what was under the hood after he'd already took it for a spin around the block and back 100 times. -

Community Rescue for Two Dogs Found with Chains Embedded in Their Necks in Lampang
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Two severely injured dogs were rescued in Lampang Province after images of them with deep neck wounds caused by tight chains went viral on social media, prompting swift action from animal welfare groups and local volunteers. The incident came to light around 20:00 on 21 July, when concerned locals posted distressing images of two native Thai dogs suffering from severe injuries and flea infestations. The photos quickly gained attention online, triggering a wave of public concern and calls for immediate assistance. Responding to the outcry, The Ark Foundation under Royal Patronage, based in Doi Saket, Chiang Mai, teamed up with volunteers led by Phra Khru Aod of Wat Chedi Luang and the Lampang Animal Rescue Team. They visited the scene in Tambon Tha Ma-O, Mueang District, to investigate and provide emergency aid. According to Mr. Bundit Muenruakam, president of The Ark Foundation, the two female dogs, both fully grown, are named Loma and Kaew. Kaew suffered from a particularly deep wound around her neck caused by a chain that had embedded itself into her flesh. Both animals were reportedly raised by their owner since they were puppies but were later chained after showing signs of aggression, including biting neighbours. The owner, who works night shifts and also cares for an elderly, ill mother, admitted to being unable to monitor the dogs closely. Rescue teams promptly cleaned the wounds, administered flea and tick treatment, and initiated a longer-term rehabilitation plan, with The Ark Foundation taking custody of the dogs to oversee their recovery, with the intention of transferring them to local authorities once they regain full health. In a broader initiative, Phra Khru Aod is working to establish a formal animal rescue unit dedicated to aiding injured or abandoned animals across northern Thailand. This effort aligns with The Ark Foundation’s mission to protect animal welfare and promote compassion for all living beings. The case has sparked renewed public dialogue about responsible pet ownership and the importance of accessible veterinary care in rural communities. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-07-23 -

USA Trump Accuses Obama of Treason, Shares AI-Arrest Video in Explosive Claim
File photo courtesy of Wikipedia President Donald Trump has stirred controversy once again by accusing former President Barack Obama of treason in the Oval Office, without providing evidence. Trump claimed Obama attempted to rig the 2016 election, following his social media post of an AI-generated video depicting Obama's arrest. The President insisted the events involved were unprecedented and demanded severe consequences. A representative for Obama rejected the allegations, labelling them "ridiculous" and a diversion tactic. Despite typically ignoring such claims, they emphasised that the accusations warranted a response due to their outrageous nature. They further noted that an earlier report by the Senate Intelligence Committee confirmed Russian attempts to influence the 2016 election, but without successfully manipulating votes. Trump’s remarks came after a criminal referral related to the Obama administration was submitted by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to the Department of Justice. In addressing the referral, Obama’s spokesperson highlighted the universality of the findings regarding Russia's influence efforts and reiterated their validation by bipartisan investigations. Amidst these accusations, Trump diverted attention from queries about Deputy Attorney Todd Blanche's meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell, associating the situation with Obama. Referring to the former president as the "leader of the gang," Trump alleged that attempts were made to steal the election and conceal its integrity through unprecedented means. The AI-manipulated video, shared over the weekend on TikTok and quickly reposted by Trump, falsely depicted Obama's theatrical arrest in the White House. Critics argue these narratives serve as a distraction from demands for transparency related to the Epstein files, as Trump’s administration faces increasing scrutiny on the issue. As the controversy unfolds, the public and political figures alike remain divided, with ongoing debates about the propriety and consequences of such accusations in the political arena. The complexities surrounding election security, misinformation, and presidential conduct continue to dominate conversations across the nation. Adapted by ASEAN Now from ABC News 2025-07-23 -
