Three Tourists Rescued After Being Swept Out to Sea by Strong Currents in Khanom
Picture from bystanders. Three tourists, including one Thai national and two foreigners, were rescued after being pulled out to sea by strong waves while swimming at Tal Khu Beach in Khanom District, Nakhon Si Thammarat. The incident occurred on the evening of 30 December when the tourists ventured into the water despite rough sea conditions. Strong currents swept the group several dozen metres from shore, leaving them struggling against large waves. Emergency responders from the Khanom Subdistrict Municipality’s Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Unit and local rescue teams deployed a jet ski to reach the victims. Despite the challenging conditions, all three were successfully brought back to shore. The victims, a 41-year-old Thai national and two foreign tourists, were found in a state of shock and exhaustion. Initial first aid was provided on-site before two of the tourists, were transported to Khanom Hospital for further medical evaluation. The third tourist declined hospital treatment. Tal Khu Beach is a popular tourist destination, particularly during the New Year holiday season. However, strong winds and rough seas have been reported in the area due to prevailing weather conditions. The Southern Meteorological Department has issued a warning for severe weather in the Gulf of Thailand, caused by a high-pressure system from China and a strengthened northeast monsoon. These conditions are creating heavy rainfall in parts of southern Thailand and rough seas with strong waves. Authorities are urging tourists to exercise caution when swimming during these hazardous conditions to ensure their safety. -- 2025-01-01 -

Any Alternative Music bars/venues in Bangkok?
Great list. I see about a dozen that I listen to and many that I know but never listened to much and of course, many that I don’t know. Out of that list, the only song that I have ever seen played would be White Stripes Seven Nation Army . One Thai friend who was a drummer knew Rage and Chili Peppers but I don’t know if any of their songs were on his repertoire. The only other bands he was interested in when he heard them were the Pumpkins, Janes Addiction and Primus (not on your list). INXS, Beck, B52s and Depeche Mode didn’t strike a chord with the Thais I have known. Most of the music that seems to find its way over here is depressingly mainstream (I had to listen to Maroon 5 played over and over at a club next to my condo way back when in Chiang Mai). I’ll be checking out YouTube now for some of the bands that I’ve never listened to. Thanks for the list! Sorry that I can’t recommend any clubs in Bangkok. Tinnitus keeps me away from live music these days. Hope you find some that suits you -

Tour Bus Driver Caught Smuggling Counterfeit Goods & E-Cigarettes Worth ฿30 Million
Pictures courtesy of Customs. Authorities in Mukdahan have arrested a 54-year-old tour bus driver for smuggling counterfeit goods and illegal e-cigarettes worth an estimated ฿30 million. The arrest took place on the evening of 30 December, near the Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge II immigration checkpoint. The suspect, identified as Mr Non Chimma, a resident of Nong Bua district, Nakhon Sawan, was apprehended while waiting to pick up a group of Vietnamese tourists. The single-deck blue tour bus, operated by a prominent Bangkok-based tour company, was parked approximately 100 metres from the immigration checkpoint when it was searched. Security officers discovered 40 boxes of e-cigarettes, along with counterfeit branded clothing, false eyelashes, and nail tools. The illicit goods were hidden in a secret compartment beneath the bus, cleverly camouflaged by the vehicle’s cooling system to evade detection. The counterfeit clothing, packed in black plastic bags, was labelled with the sender and recipient’s details, indicating a well-organised smuggling operation. During questioning, Mr Non denied any knowledge of the goods, claiming they belonged to the Vietnamese tourists he was scheduled to transport. Despite his denial, security personnel handed over the seized items to Mukdahan Customs Office for further inspection and inventory. Mr Non has been taken into custody and transferred to the Muang Mukdahan Police Station, where he faces legal charges related to smuggling and intellectual property violations. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the case, which highlights ongoing efforts to crack down on the illegal transport of counterfeit and untaxed goods across Thailand’s borders. -- 2025-01-01 -
