On 20 June, Vice Admiral Apach Phanon, Commander of the First Naval Area Command and Rear Admiral Rangsarn Bhuapueak, Deputy Commander, inspected readiness operations involving unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and naval forces at the Naval Logistics Base in Khlong Yai, Laem Ngop District, Trat Province. The visit marked a full-scale assessment of the Navy’s capacity to respond to border threats and included joint exercises between warships and UAVs. These exercises tested battlefield communications, tactical target sharing, and shore bombardment coordination using naval artillery. Units involved included HTMS Naresuan, UAV units under the First Naval Area Command, the Marine Corps’ Mobile Company 1 and local operational units stationed around Ko Kut. The primary objective of the exercise was to evaluate operational capabilities across personnel, equipment and command protocol, ensuring swift and effective responses to any threat. The Royal Thai Navy affirmed its commitment to defending Thailand’s national interests and maritime sovereignty, with emphasis on being a force the public can trust and take pride in. Vice Admiral Apach reassured the Thai public of the Navy’s unwavering dedication, stating: “Thai naval officers stand ready to defend the nation’s sovereignty at all costs. The First Naval Area Command is fully prepared for any emergency that may arise in defence of Thai territory and waters.” As a gesture of support and morale, he also distributed drinking water and non-perishable food supplies to personnel and various naval vessels continuing their patrol and operational missions in the region.

Community Man Attempts Suicide on Bangkok Overpass After Being Denied Access to See His Child
Picture courtesy of NBT A 29-year-old man attempted to take his own life by climbing onto a pedestrian overpass along Vibhavadi Rangsit Road in Bangkok on the evening of 20 June, reportedly distraught over being denied contact with his child by his wife. At around 20:00, Pol. Lt. Col. Kachakorn Saisa-sawat, Deputy Inspector of Phahonyothin Police Station, received reports of a man preparing to jump from the overpass near Soi Vibhavadi Rangsit 42, adjacent to Wat Samian Nari and the Red Line electric train station. Emergency responders from Vibhavadi Traffic Police, Lat Yao Fire and Rescue Station, Phaya Thai Fire Station and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation were dispatched to the scene. The man, later identified as Mr. Nattawut, was found perched dangerously on the steel frame in the centre of the overpass structure, approximately seven metres above the road. He was wearing a yellow shirt and grey shorts and appeared emotionally distressed as he threatened to jump into oncoming traffic. Police partially closed the inbound side of Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, reducing traffic to one lane on the leftmost side and placed an inflatable safety cushion on the road below. For over 40 minutes, authorities and bystanders attempted to persuade the man to come down safely. A video call was placed to his wife in an effort to calm him, but Mr. Nattawut refused to communicate. Eventually, a coordinated effort by emergency services allowed them to safely subdue the man before he could jump. He shouted angrily at officers during the intervention and was taken to Phahonyothin Police Station to calm down and receive support. Preliminary investigations revealed that Mr. Nattawut works with his father as a contractor on a roadside drainage construction project near the scene. He had been staying at a nearby hotel. His actions are believed to have stemmed from emotional distress after being repeatedly refused permission by his wife to see their child. Authorities have not confirmed whether legal or psychological assistance will be arranged for the man but emphasised the importance of mental health support in such cases.

2025 SSA Form 7162 - "Hello, are you dead yet?" forms.
Hi Folks, Across multiple forums I don’t know of anyone who has received their 7162 Form yet. I definitely should have received mine by now (based on last 10 years). What do you think our plan should be? I don’t mean to be alarmist, but I think either SSA is deliberately not going to send them, or they are too short staffed. -
