Anutin Reaffirms Koh Kood's Sovereignty Amid Disputed Reports
Picture courtesy: Naew Na Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul visited Koh Kood in Thailand's Trat province on Monday, accompanied by Deputy Minister Sabida Thaiseth and a delegation of ministry officials. The visit sought to clarify recent misunderstandings about the island's sovereignty and ensure continued confidence among Thai citizens and tourists, affected by misleading reports potentially harming local sentiment, business, and tourism. Anutin, also the Deputy Prime Minister, assured locals and foreign visitors that Koh Kood, part of Thailand for centuries, will remain exclusively Thai. He emphasised that no part of the island would fall under another nation's claim and welcomed Thai visitors without concern for passports or travel documents, solidifying the island as Thai territory. Clearing subsequent confusion about a 2001 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Anutin explained it was designed to advise collaborative efforts between Thailand and Cambodia on undersea petroleum resources, maritime boundaries, and exclusive economic zones per international law. He confirmed this MoU does not involve altering Thailand’s territorial status, explicitly excluding Koh Kood. Aiming to reassure, Anutin maintained the island's beauty and approachability as an ongoing delight for tourists, promising support from him, the province, and local government. Their collective aim is to preserve natural resources, clean waters, and pristine conditions to maintain Koh Kood as a tourist haven. Addressing local concerns, Anutin acknowledged issues like scarce water supply and unresolved land ownership on the island. Plans from the Interior Ministry and collaborating agencies are underway to secure clean water for every household, consistent electricity supply, improved infrastructure, and formal land recognition. Trat Governor Nattapong Sanguanjit also noted the province's monitoring of the recent news impact and continued community-based tourism promotion, pledging visitor safety, coupled with regular tourism-boosting activities. Episodes involving the 2001 MoU have reignited opposition and activist concerns about Thailand's territory loss to Cambodia, particularly in relation to Koh Kood. This argument intensified as the Pheu Thai-led government expressed plans for energy exploration talks in disputed Gulf of Thailand zones, reported The Nation. To reinforce confidence, visits by officials such as Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai emphasise MoU44’s lack of jurisdiction over Koh Kood, promising it remains a pure Thai destination. -- 2024-11-12 -

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My - How will Hitler Trump's Fascist Dictatorship Affect You?
What Donald Trump’s Win Means For Inflation November 11, 2024 3:08 PM EST Donald Trump may have won the presidency partly because voters were fed up with inflation. But if he enacts many of the policies he proposed on the campaign trail, voters may see prices continue to rise, according to economists, analysts, and business owners. “There’s a lot of inflationary pressure in his promises,” says Simon Johnson, one of the 2024 winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics and a professor at MIT’s Sloan School of Business. Put together, economists say his proposals could drive up the costs of apparel, toys, appliances, and food. https://time.com/7175083/donald-trump-presidency-inflation/ -

Two Mongolian Nationals Arrested in Bangkok Pickpocketing Spree; Third Suspect at Large
Police have arrested two Mongolian nationals suspected of targeting tourists in a pickpocketing operation in central Bangkok. The two men, identified as Mr. Sodbayar, 35, and Mr. Uyangabaatar, 40, were apprehended by Thong Lo Police officers in the early hours of November 11. The arrests came after a female tourist reported her purse stolen on the evening of November 8. The incident took place outside a restaurant on Sukhumvit Soi 33/1, and CCTV footage revealed three suspects involved in the theft. The footage showed a group of three perpetrators who had allegedly been responsible for multiple pickpocketing incidents. Following a thorough review of the footage, police officers set up a surveillance operation in the area. On November 11, two of the suspects returned to Sukhumvit Road, where they were quickly identified and detained by officers. Investigations revealed that the two suspects had entered Thailand on tourist visas and were staying in rented rooms in the Phra Khanong and Bang Chak districts. Both admitted to changing accommodations every seven days, a tactic believed to be aimed at avoiding detection while seeking new victims. The suspects confessed to the latest theft and now face charges of nighttime theft, which carries a sentence of 1 to 7 years in prison and a fine of 20,000 to 140,000 baht. Additionally, they will be required to compensate their victims for stolen property. A third suspect, also seen in the CCTV footage, remains at large. Police are actively searching for the individual, urging the public to remain vigilant in busy tourist areas. Picture courtesy from Khaosod. -- 2024-11-12 -

I hope I'm still around in 4 years to remind you of that post following a successful 4 years for Trump. You guys got it wrong on Trump being behind Harris. That was just MSM lies. You were wrong on everything and you will be wrong on his term.
