Crime Armed Chinese Men Hold Woman Hostage in Pattaya Home
UPDATE Chinese Gang Escapes After Failed Kidnapping in Pattaya Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post A group of Chinese nationals attempted to kidnap a compatriot for ransom at a villa in central Pattaya early on the morning of 22 August, but fled after a Thai woman managed to escape and alert police. The incident occurred at around 03:00 at a two-storey pool villa in Suphamit Village, Pattaya. Pol Lt Col Anek Sarathongyu, superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station, said officers were dispatched after receiving reports of a violent dispute and possible abduction. When patrol and investigation teams arrived, they found a white saloon car parked outside the property. On spotting the officers, the suspects accelerated, ramming into a civilian vehicle and a police motorcycle, which was knocked to the ground, before speeding away in the direction of Huai Yai. Neighbours reported seeing two men inside the car moments before a Thai woman ran screaming from the villa. She had allegedly been detained inside, apparently as part of a ransom attempt, but she managed to break free and raise the alarm. Police investigators are now reviewing CCTV footage along the suspects’ escape route. The Chinese couple who own the property are also being questioned as officers seek to determine the motive and identify the wider network behind the plot. Authorities have not yet released further details while the investigation continues and the suspects remain at large. Adapted by Asean Now from Bangkokpost 2025-08-22 -

Report Thai Army to Test 3D-Printed Anti-Blast Footwear Next Week
Picture courtesy of The Nation Senator Wutthipong Pongsuwan has unveiled a groundbreaking model of blast-resistant footwear, poised to enhance safety for Thai soldiers. The prototype, designed to mitigate the risk of landmine injuries, will undergo testing by the 2nd Army next week. This innovation comes amid escalating tensions on the Thai-Cambodian border, where landmines have sadly cost numerous soldiers their limbs. Drawing inspiration from designs used during the Russia-Ukraine war, Wutthipong and his team have adapted these protective shoes for local use. Originally pioneered in Canada, the footwear significantly reduced blast-related amputations in Ukraine from around 20,000 to fewer than 10 annually. Leveraging 3D printing technology, the team has partnered with supportive factories committed to assisting at no cost, reported The Nation. This collaboration facilitates the final adjustments necessary to produce shoes capable of withstanding extreme blast forces. Once complete, the shoes, named 'Nilmangkorn', promise to decrease impact forces by up to 70%, offering soldiers greater protection. Senator Wutthipong emphasised the moral boost these boots provide to both soldiers and civilians, contrasting their effects on those responsible for planting landmines in Cambodia. "Without this protection, soldiers can suffer severe injuries, but 'Nilmangkorn' boots drastically reduce the risk," he said. The remarkable initiative, supported by several factories eager to produce the boots for free, is set to offer a substantial advantage to Thai troops. The prototype is anticipated to be ready next week, with testing scheduled at the Second Army Area. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Nation 2025-08-23 -

UK Debate Intensifies: Motives Behind England Flag Campaign
There is something strange going on. This is clearly a social media campaign gone viral; some of the same people ziptyping screwed up flags to overhead bridges, or painting pedestrian crossings/mini roundabouts were probably wearing out their kitchenware clapping for the NHS every wednesday (a strange period when I could set my watch to it). The Spectator has run a story behind one of the "organisers" who was also interviewed by GB News. https://www.gbnews.com/news/york-news-flag-wars-st-george-national-pride OK, some predictable phrasing https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/meet-the-man-putting-hundreds-of-england-flags-up-around-york/ Wait, an 18 year old in a warzone? So he's 23 going on 24 years old. Ok, hellhole South Yorkshire mining village. It wasn't Thatcher who closed the mines down, but the head of the Coal Board, Ian MacGregor, the Scot who everyone thought was American. Arthur Scargill also had a hand in the inevitable conclusion. Moulton is but a kid, so what does he know, and he probably believed every BS line of people resolving issues "down t'pit". Complete guff. I smell BS. An 18 year old somehow does PMC work in Libya and Ukraine. Finds time ti live in Korea and Japan. His LinkedIn: 2019-2022: "Self Employed Business Consultant", London. I don't know any 17 year old Business Consultants. 2022-2024: Founds a "global commodities consultancy" in the UAE. 2022-2024: Director of BD ("need a Merc?") at "a leading provider of security services in Libya, Ukraine and....." in the UAE 2024 to date: Founds a Defence Intelligence company Cyprus. Hybrid 2024 to date: Founds a "Thinktank dedicated to analysing the impacts of resources and relations and providing solutions to decision makers" I smell an obvious rat here. I look at the profile on Companies House of his 20 year old business partner and I think "War Dogs" More: Further digging gets even stranger; when he was doing the flogging Mercenary serves bit, he had hooked up with a grizzled former Royal Marine Commando, and a founder who also runs a Play-2-Win gaming company. I lived in Northern Ireland, for many years, in South Belfast and then Carrickfergus. A lot of flags seen there. In the Prod areas, most homes would have a little flag holder -
