Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Considering the current stage of EV advancement, I may...may go for such a vehicle only to commute with my city boundries in Thailand. For longer trips, it would seem a risky option, considering the lack of recharging stations. Not to mention the issues and hassles in installing charging wallboxes at one's residence if in a condo. Also the issue of the batteries and their lifespan and considering the high costs of replacement when they are dead after x x x years. Far to many doubts on the safety issues of these vehicles that tend to catch fire here and there. What about the prices of electricity ? Gasoline prices are usually more or less...I said more or less, under control locally and globally. But who can speak for any speculations on the prices of electricity when EV will be the norm ? -

Military RTAF Pledges Civilian Safety in F-16 Operations
File photo THAILAND - In a powerful statement, the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) has laid out its steadfast commitment to safeguarding civilians amid its F-16 operations. Highlighting adherence to international humanitarian law, the RTAF shared its framework through a social media announcement, emphasising civilian protection. The RTAF drew its principles from the Additional Protocol I of the 1977 Geneva Conventions and established customary law. These principles, focusing on strict military guidelines, ensure civilians remain unharmed during military actions. Top among these is the Principle of Distinction, obliging military forces to differentiate starkly between military targets and civilians, completely prohibiting any deliberate attacks on non-military individuals or objects. Also central to their commitment is the Principle of Proportionality, stressing that any attack must weigh civilian loss against military gain. An illustration shared by the RTAF involves targeting a military command centre in a populated region, highlighting the necessity for careful consideration to prevent undue civilian casualties. Adding to this, the RTAF underscored the Principle of Precaution, aiming for civilian safety by recommending advance warnings and strategic tactics like choosing angles, timing, and appropriate weaponry, reported The Nation. The Prohibition of Indiscriminate Attacks further bans any assault without specific targets, particularly those with the potential for widespread destruction, such as in urban landscapes. Lastly, the Principle of Military Necessity & Humanity ensures that force applied should only suffice for mission objectives without causing needless suffering, reinforcing the RTAF's pledge to protect civilian lives while fulfilling military duties. Amid increased regional tension, this statement aims to build public confidence and demonstrate the RTAF's dedication to international standards. By maintaining these practices, the RTAF seeks to balance operational success with the utmost respect for civilian security, upholding global humanitarian norms.
