Crime Three Indian Chefs Arrested for Cooking on Yacht in Phuket
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Phuket marine police have arrested three Indian nationals for operating an unlicensed kitchen on a yacht at Chalong Pier, Phuket. The arrests were carried out under the supervision of Police Major General Setthasiri Nippaya, with Police Colonel Thanawat Hinyokhin, Police Lieutenant Colonel Wisanu Jinawong, and Sub-Lieutenant Kongkhlang Thammethaporn leading the operation. The suspects, Mr Kumar, 29, Mr Honey, 34 and Mr Armanjot, 20, were charged with working without valid work permits. Authorities discovered the men preparing Indian cuisine on board during a crackdown on illegal activities at the pier. All three admitted that they had been hired by another Indian national, Mr Rikhi, to cook on the yacht, receiving 700 baht each for their work. They were taken to Chalong Police Station for further legal proceedings. The incident highlights ongoing enforcement efforts against unauthorised employment and unregulated business operations in Phuket’s maritime areas. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-08-26 -

Weather Typhoon Kajiki Prompts Thailand to Prepare for Impact
Far off, as I sat and wondered, the lightning did not thunder; it was heat lightning, so I thought....several hours ago. But now, the storm quickens, and grows closer. The thunder grows grosser, rumbling, ever louder, Though, really, not very loud at all. A typhoon is not just an atmospheric depression.... And, have we ever been blessed with a typhoon before? Never before. Thinking about what might soon be upon us, the first typhoon of the inland mountains.... I shudder, knowing what might be, if were were by the shore. I see the wind, that furious spirit of the open ocean, losing its maritime dominion yet finding a new and more insidious form of malice in this mountain-hemmed basin. It is no longer a horizontal fury, a clean and howling force, but a monstrous, spiraling weight that descends from the high, grey-green peaks, twisting and tearing at the flimsy, sun-bleached world of Chiang Mai. The very smoky air, once thick with the scent of jasmine and the low hum of life, becomes a suffocating presence, a heavy, damp shroud that clings to the skin and steals the breath from the lungs, minus the salt spray of Conrad's days. Our village world, a place of stable ground and ancient forests, now trembles in a deep, subterranean dread, but only in my mind, before this windy typhoon force. The trees, especially the FICUS trees, the stoic guardians of the hillsides, thrash like madmen, their broad leaves ripped to confetti, while the river Ping, a benign serpent in the dry season, rises in a brown, roaring monster, its belly swollen with the sins of the mountain which has no sin. Oh Conrad..... Your dreams are the Heart of Darkness, come to visit us. But where in this typhoon is the salt-spumed horror of the sea that we read about? How can we have a typhoon without the sea, the warmth of the sea.....to fuel the winds? But no: We are only suffering a land-locked tempest where the earth itself, in a convulsion of rain and mud and wind, seeks to swallow man's futile constructions,, and the very ground on which we stand. In this typhoon-beleaguered Chiang Mai the storm becomes an elemental assault on a world that has forgotten the raw terror of nature. Will we ever stop the burning of coal...before.... It's too late? Let the Ping run free. And, we are blessed to not live in Miami, or in Florida.... -

Trump - Guilty and Dirty
The phrase -- in this former free country -- is of interest. Tragically I think that conclusion is the current international consensus from both (now usually former) allies and enemies. -

Crime Court Jails Senior Police Officer Over Parachute Training Deaths
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The Appeal Court has upheld prison sentences for six police officers over the deaths of two cadets during a parachute training exercise, handing a senior police colonel six years in prison without suspension and sentencing others to more than three years. The case stems from a 2014 training accident at the Royal Police Cadet Academy’s parachute course in Phetchaburi province, where two police cadets, Chayakorn Phutthachaiyong, known as “YoYo”, and Natthawut Tirasuwan, known as “Few”, died after their parachutes failed to deploy. Originally, the Samut Songkhram Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases sentenced defendants identified only as No. 2 to 9 to four years’ imprisonment each for negligence causing death, but acquitted them of malfeasance under Section 157 of the Penal Code. All appealed, though two defendants, 5 & 7, died during the appeals process. At 09.00 on 25 August, the Appeal Court delivered its ruling: • Pol Col Anothai Satsanga (Defendant 6) was sentenced to six years in prison, with no suspension. • Defendants 2, 3, 4, 8, and 9 were sentenced under multiple laws but, after reductions for cooperation, each received three years and four months. • Defendant 1, Capt Kanop Yusuk, was acquitted. The court determined that the defendants’ actions amounted to negligence causing death under Section 291 of the Penal Code, as well as offences under laws covering state officials’ misconduct. The ruling follows years of legal proceedings initiated by Mr Sathorn Phutthachaiyong, father of one of the deceased cadets, who joined the prosecution as a co-plaintiff. The case has drawn attention to serious lapses in safety standardsduring police training and has been seen as a test of accountability within the force. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-08-26
