Accident Dramatic Rescue as Schoolgirl Clings to Tree in Chiang Rai River
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A schoolgirl is safe and recovering in hospital after a dramatic early morning rescue from the Kok River, where she was found clinging to a tree in the river to stay afloat. The incident occurred around 07:40 on 14 July, when Chiang Rai’s Sang Tham Rescue Foundation received an urgent call via the Muang Chiang Rai Police Radio Centre reporting that a young female student had fallen into the river near the Country Home Village, close to Chiang Rai Beach. Emergency water rescue unit “Natee Sang Tham” was immediately dispatched, along with the foundation’s response vehicle “Sang Tham 704” and a long-tail boat operated by Cherdchai of Chiang Rai Pier. Upon arrival, rescue personnel located the girl in the middle of the river, clinging desperately to the tree to stay above water. Rescuers managed to reach her in time and pull her safely aboard. After being brought ashore, she received initial first aid before being transported to Chiangrai Prachanukroh Hospital for further medical evaluation. Officials have not yet released the student’s identity and the circumstances surrounding how she came to fall into the river remain under investigation. The swift and coordinated efforts of the rescue team have been praised by the local community, with many calling their actions heroic. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-07-15 -

Getting a Medical Certificate for Cannabis Use in Thailand
To me it all seems pretty easy to get things sorted. Get a one-year medical cannabis user card, buy your weed online in whatever quantity you want, if you take it outside, never carry more than 30 grams with you and always have your card on you when carrying. When the year is up, renew the card and continue on. Seems like pretty minimal hassle. Could be a lot worse. -

Economy Thailand Eyes Zero Tariffs on US Goods to Nix Trump’s 36% Levy
Picture courtesy of Thai PBS World via AFP Thailand is contemplating zero-duty market access for more US goods in a bid to convince the Trump administration to abandon a looming 36% tariff on its exports. Finance Minister Pichai Chunahavajira revealed plans could include reducing tariffs to zero on US longan and tilapia and amending regulations for US left-hand drive vehicles. The US is demanding "ambitious proposals," Chunahavajira noted at a trade seminar in Bangkok. As negotiations continue, officials aim to finalise an agreement before President Trump’s August deadline. Thailand has committed to lifting import duties on 90% of US goods and dismantling various non-tariff barriers. In response to US demands, Thailand is set to boost purchases of American agricultural and energy products, aiming to cut its $46 billion trade surplus. The US, Thailand’s top export market, accounted for 18% of its total exports in 2024. Last year's exports surged by 15% as traders hastened shipments ahead of the potential tariff. Thai authorities remain cautious, with some US demands extending beyond tariffs and into geopolitical realms. Concessions could incite domestic unrest, but any deal must be mutually advantageous and sustainable for Thailand long-term, according to Chunahavajira. Despite US demands on local content requirements, Thailand's reliance on older industries with high domestic inputs minimises the impact. However, the risk remains, as Trump targets countries rerouting Chinese goods to undermine US trade sanctions. Thailand faces a pressing challenge, having received a tariff warning from the US amid global trade tensions. Securing reduced tariffs is crucial; failure could severely impact exports and slice one percentage point from the nation's economic growth. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-07-15 -
