Flash Flooding in Tak Province: DDPM Constructing Temporary Bridge
The Tak Provincial Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office has reported significant developments concerning the overflowing Wang River, which has eroded a vital bridge in the area. The bridge over the Wang River, located in Ban Tha Phai, Moo 3, in the Sam Ngao district, has been severely damaged due to the high water levels, prompting immediate action from local authorities. On October 5, the Kamphaeng Phet Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Centre (Region 8 dispatched a team to install a Bailey bridge, a temporary solution to restore access for residents. Installation work began on October 4, and is currently in progress. The Bailey bridge measures approximately 51 metres in length and is designed to support a maximum load of 12 tons. Authorities anticipate that the bridge will be completed and ready for public use by Monday, October 7. This temporary structure aims to ensure continued mobility for the local population until a permanent solution can be implemented.

Cannabis-Intoxicated British Man Arrested for Trespassing and Overstay
Medically and physically harmless is not the same as bad behavior. They are two separate things. Nobody is claiming that weed is 100% harmless, only that it appears to have no harmful direct physical effect on users. It typically doesn't cause any such behavioral problems. This is backed up by decades of research. This guy was probably already a misbehaving loser before he smoked or ate anything. In my 67 years going back to the 60s among dozens of hippie friends I have never seen marijuana cause any such bad behavior. And I don't know where you get the term "weed champs". Are they chasing you down the street, climbing in your windows and doors, hollering out the glories of weed? Are they marching in parades, running ads on your favorite football games? You sound like you yourself may have smoked a little too much. -

The Unforeseen Reach of COVID-19: How Lockdowns Impacted the Moon's Surface
This is not the first time that this well-known LYCANTHROPIC effect has been validly documented. Not only can human madness cause the Moon's surface temperature to decrease, but, periodically, when the Moon's surface actually increases in temperature, then some susceptible male humans succumb to various lycanthropic symptoms..... Such as, for example: This is known as a Positive Feedback Loop, whereby, if left uncorrected, the Moon's surface temperature will continue to increase, exponentially, just as more an more male humans start to exhibit evermore severe lycanthropic tendencies. Tail-growing is just one example of such psychosomatic lycanthropic symptoms. No doubt, both are also related to slightly less albedo of the upper atmosphere of the Earth, due to decreased use of fossil fuels needed for economic activity. We also know that the Moon is gradually moving ever farther away from Earth, and will, someday, fly out into outer space, never to return. This will be the end of Mankind. -

Boeing Successfully Completes First Flight of Thailand’s First AH-6 Little Bird Helicopter
Boeing has successfully conducted the first flight of the AH-6 Little Bird light attack helicopter designated for the Royal Thai Army. This milestone flight took at Boeing’s facility in Mesa, Arizona, marking a significant advancement in Thailand’s military aviation capabilities. The AH-6 helicopters, part of an order for a total of eight units, are being produced as part of Thailand’s initiative to enhance its defense readiness and modernise its military fleet. Christina Upah, Vice President of Attack Helicopter Programs and Senior Executive at Boeing Mesa, stated, “With its superior performance and flexible, easily configurable mission equipment, the Little Bird packs enormous versatility into a small, combat-proven package to get the job done. We are proud to partner with the U.S. Army to provide Thailand with these critical defense capabilities, and we look forward to supporting training for the first Thai Little Bird pilots in the near future.” Upon completion of the delivery of the helicopters, Boeing will conduct training for Royal Thai Army pilots at its Mesa site and at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground. This training will enable pilots to effectively operate the AH-6 and utilise its versatile mission capabilities. Designed with a purpose-built military fuselage, an integrated cockpit, and the latest fully integrated weapon systems, the AH-6 helicopter is equipped to handle a variety of missions and adapt to diverse operational environments. This acquisition is part of a broader strategy by the Royal Thai Army to strengthen its aviation capabilities and respond to evolving security challenges. Boeing was awarded the contract for the AH-6 helicopters through a Foreign Military Sales order from the U.S. Department of Defense in February 2022. The contract includes spares, training devices, support equipment, and technical documentation for the Thai customer, ensuring a comprehensive support system for the new aircraft.

Chiang Mai on High Alert as Ping River Surges Beyond 5.25 Metres
OTish but could be relevant (tho maybe not ; ) Prior to the mid-1990s, the magnetic north pole traveled at speeds of around 9 miles per year. Now, it's 34 miles annually. What accounts for the acceleration? https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/earth/geophysics/earths-magnetic-north-pole-has-rapidly-shifted-in-past-40-years.htm -

British National Killed in Sattahip Motorcycle Accident
We had a storm yesterday evening, lots of rain. It's night time, Z900, maybe a few beers, this is not the right time to go for a ride on a powerful bike. I choose my time carefully to ride my Ducati, early morning or afternoon (it's cooler), NOT raining, back home before dark for a few beers. When no roadworks, It's a nice ride, down the Sukhumvit to Rayong and back.- 1

Car Showroom Owner Takes Own Life Amid Financial Struggles: Pathum Thani
A car showroom owner, struggling with financial difficulties and unable to secure a bank loan, took his own life inside his vehicle on Phahonyothin Road in Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani. On the morning of October 4, Lieutenant Prachaya Kokun of Khlong Luang Police Station responded to reports of a suicide near kilometre marker 45 on the outbound side of the road. Investigators from the Khlong Luang Police, forensic experts from Pathum Thani Provincial Forensic Unit, and medical personnel from Thammasat University Hospital were dispatched to the scene. The victim, a 38-year-old man (name withheld), was found inside a red Suzuki sedan registered in Bangkok. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to his right temple. A .38 caliber Walther handgun was found beside him in the driver’s seat. The discovery was made by traffic police officers during rush hour, who noticed the car parked by the roadside and approached to check. Upon investigation, they found the man unresponsive, slumped over toward the passenger seat, with blood visible on his head. They immediately alerted investigators. The victim’s father revealed that his son was facing financial difficulties related to his car showroom business. After repeated attempts to secure a bank loan had failed, the pressure mounted. The night before the incident the victim had asked his father for a gun, claiming he needed it for self-defence due to concerns about a new neighbour. Despite the father’s belief that the financial issues were minor, it seems the ongoing stress pushed his son to a breaking point. The father confirmed that the .38 Walther handgun belonged to him. Lieutenant Prachaya recorded evidence at the scene before the victim’s body was transferred to Thammasat University Hospital for further examination. Picture from responders. -- 2024-10-06
