Dramatic Skid: Air Force C-130 Veers Off Samui Runway
Picture courtesy of Naewna A nail-biting incident unfolded at Samui Airport when an Air Force C-130 transport aircraft skidded off the apron due to a brake system mishap. Around 2:30 p.m. on May 2, 62 individuals onboard, comprising eight officers and 54 passengers, fortunately escaped unscathed. The chaos ensued as the plane, engaged in a training mission, rolled forward uncontrollably after the pilot detected the malfunction and lurched into an electric pole before halting safely in a nearby field. The C-130, belonging to Squadron 601, Wing 6, was undertaking a routine path from Don Mueang through Trang to Koh Samui. Air Chief Marshal Prapas Sonjai, spokesperson for the Air Force, was swift to assure the public of the passengers' safety. The occupants managed a secure evacuation through the rear exit, thanks to the pilot’s quick action. Initial assessments indicated damage primarily to the aircraft's left wing and nose, with the left wing colliding with an electric pole, and the front clipping a parking sign. The Air Force Safety Office will launch an extensive investigation into the braking failure, aiming to unearth causes and forestall such incidents in future operations. Remarkably, the sudden skid did not impact public safety nor compromise the airport's structural integrity. Passengers and crew can breathe a sigh of relief, while the investigation seeks to ensure the skies remain safe for everyone. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-05-03 -

Economy Moody's Shifts Thailand's Economic Outlook to Negative Amid Rising Risks
Moodys is being nice, and conservative on this one. When the trad deal is done with Trump within the next 2.5 months, that is the next SHOE TO DROP. We are on 90 day pause. Either Thailand opens up to US products fair, or faces reciprocity. No matter what, Thailand is going to eat it or eat something. If Th does not open up and follow Trumps rules, that second shoe is going to burn a hole in the Bahts pocket, exports etc. Moody's is not stupid, they see the writing on the wall. And so do I. We are in a domino fall now, it's just getting going...
