Rogue riders spark outrage as Phuket police face backlash
They should have had CCTV or some sort of cameras there to document who went through so they could at least be able to try get a video of the incident and possibly the license plates to search for the people who did this. Fine them and deport them if they were international tourists. They need to get their act together. -

Karenni Army: U.S. Aid Cuts Impact Refugee Camps, Forces Medical Transfers to Thailand
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The Karenni Army (KA), also known as the Red Karen Army, has admitted that recent U.S. budget cuts to NGOs, enacted under President Donald Trump’s second administration, are severely affecting refugee camps along the Thai-Myanmar border. The cuts have left camps struggling to provide medical care, forcing many patients to seek treatment in Thailand. A senior leader of the Karenni Army revealed on 28 January that the budget reduction, particularly to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), has impacted organisations such as the International Rescue Committee (IRC), which supports refugee camps like Ban Nai Soi in Pang Mu Subdistrict, Mueang District, and Ban Mae Surin in Mae Surin Subdistrict, Khun Yuam District, Mae Hong Son Province. With medical services in these camps curtailed, the Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP) has had no choice but to transfer patients to Sirisangwan Hospital in Mae Hong Son for treatment. While this decision may strain Thai medical resources, KNPP leaders have stated that it is unavoidable in order to save lives. Meanwhile, the Free Burma Rangers, a separate organisation that aids civilians and soldiers in Karenni State, remains unaffected by U.S. policy changes as it relies on donations from international supporters. However, severely injured patients who cannot be treated in Myanmar continue to be transferred to hospitals in Thailand. On 27 January 2025, the Karen Refugee Committee at Mae La Camp in Tha Song Yang District, Tak Province, issued a notice warning that, effective from 28 January 2025, the IRC will cease providing healthcare services. The announcement detailed that critical support for pregnant women, nursing mothers, and patients with chronic or emergency conditions, such as tuberculosis, diabetes, and hypertension, will no longer be available due to the withdrawal of outpatient (OPD) and inpatient (IPD) medical staff. The notice also urged camp-based medicine vendors to refrain from price increases and to sell drugs at regular rates. It remains unclear when the IRC’s healthcare services will resume. Thailand currently hosts nine temporary shelters for displaced persons fleeing conflict, accommodating approximately 90,000 refugees, primarily from Myanmar. These camps, overseen by Thailand’s Ministry of Interior, have relied heavily on funding from the U.S. and Western nations since their establishment over 30 years ago. The U.S. policy shift under President Trump’s administration underscores the growing challenges for refugees in these camps, with concerns mounting over their access to essential medical care and other critical support. -- 2025-01-29 -

Those local restaurants should hire some trannys to corner them in an alley and kick their arses. They already have plenty of experience in trashing drunk Farangs for free.- 1

The Thai prison system is corrupt as most government institutions. Look at the favourable treatment of Thaksin while incarcerated.
