Navy Rescues Six Tourists from Capsized Kayaks Off Koh Chang
Picture courtesy: Naewna In a dramatic rescue, six tourists narrowly escaped disaster after their kayaks capsized amidst strong waves off Thailand's Koh Chang. On 5 January 2025, the Royal Thai Navy's Koh Chang Maritime Security Centre (Sor Por Kor Koh Chang) responded to two separate kayak accidents near Koh Yuak and Koh Suwan. The first incident occurred at 12:30 PM when four Czech tourists ventured out kayaking near Koh Yuak in Trat Province. Rough seas overturned their kayaks, prompting a nearby observer to alert the authorities. The Navy swiftly dispatched a rescue team, successfully bringing all four tourists to safety. One tourist sustained minor injuries and received immediate first aid onshore. Picture courtesy: Naewna While returning the rescued tourists, the Navy team spotted two Russian tourists struggling against the waves near Koh Suwan. The tourists had sought refuge from the rough conditions. The rescuers coordinated to safely guide them back to shore by 2:30 PM. Picture courtesy: Naewna All six tourists were unharmed. The Czech nationals were transferred to a tour boat, while the Russians were safely taken to their hotel at Barali, Koh Chang, reported Naeewna. Initial reports suggest that unfamiliarity with local conditions and unexpected strong waves led to the accidents. The Koh Chang Maritime Security Centre has issued a reminder to tourists to check weather conditions before venturing out and to adhere to safety measures, including wearing life jackets at all times. -- 2025-01-06 -

Is Earth round or flat❓
I understand that my stance is shocking to you, but I would appreciate if you could stop calling me an idiot :) Your take on this issue is somewhat naive in the sense that you see the current scientific doxa as the inevitable result of progress and evolution, rather than a political, ideological and societal construct. The point I was making in my response to Will was that there are limits to the twisting of reality beyond common sense, in the name of a superior knowledge or understanding. I believe the questions I asked him are fundamental. -

Building a house in Thailand
All good stuff here .. not a fan of chemicals.. But... consider having the need for termite control / hosing installed under the foundation where you can have it injected and sprayed in at least 1x a year ... also placement and access for cooking gas tanks .. we have our tank outside the house and piped in with Stainless steel pipe. ..also the access to your septic as you will eventually need to have it pumped periodiacally .. any and all exposed wiring and piping will take a hell of a beating from the sun.. we have everything encased below grade.. and mapped out .. that includes water lines ... we get out water from our bored well .. run thru a series of filters and conditioners with two 1000 litre tanks ,one for out door use and the other for the filtered water for indoor use .. 1 deep well "torpedo style pump and 3 above ground Hitachi and Mitsubishi pumps .. grading and any outdoor tile.. pitched "away from the house" . stairs.. try to avoid Thai stile steps where you have a 7-8" step with and incline so steep you need to be an experianced mountain climber to navigate ..all steps at our house are a full 12" deep with a 7" rise ... I could go on and on . but.. most important .... YOU.. have to be there on site to oversee what is being done unless you want to re-do things 2-3 times. you may have the best builder .. but the workers,,,,,, well lets just say they are usually local teams with limited " ----- " and don't be surprised to see that they can create 10 tons of garbage and construction debris daily and walk and climb over it all day long. then want to simply burn it away every couple of weeks .. "Safety and orderly is not in their plan. ............ other than that .. good luck .. I love owning our house our ... I am sure you will too !
