USA Tennessee Execution Drama: Inmate's Heart Device Controversy
The case does highlight the issue of ICDs and Pacemakers keeping dying people alive. You are more likely to receive a ICD or pacemaker if you have been diagnosed with a dementia, than without. https://www.alzinfo.org/articles/people-with-alzheimers-more-likely-to-get-pacemakers/ It seems counterintuitive; vast sums keeping alive people with no quality of life. Diseases like Alzheimers eventually cause heart failure; the autonomic functions start to be affected, and the heart doesn't beat properly. Frequently, the patients are in a care home, and fall over. Rushed to hospital where the cardiologist checks them over, and says they need a pacemaker. What happens next is a nightmare. You are kept alive long after the lights have gone out. You recognise no one. Have lost the power of speech. Your eyes work, but your brain can no longer process the images. You ability to swallow declines, so you are put on a gruel liquid diet. The families have to go through the courts to apply to get the device turned off, to allow you to pass naturally. Happened to my father. He had AD, and walked into respite care. 4 weeks later, I literally carried him out; he was essentially comatose. The cardiologist wanted him fitted with a pacemaker. For most of us, that sounded great, get on with it. Except my mum, a retired nurse, who kiboshed the whole idea. She was right, but she looked at it from the perspective of a nurse. A it was, he died 3 weeks later holding my hand. As for the issue at hand; the condemmed man. Its arisen because Americans lack confidence in their justice system, and allow for repeated and extended appeals. The condemmed feel they are innocent or there are mitigating circumstances. America should return to the British standard, when, typically, execution took place about 3 months after sentence was passed. The prisoners are allowed one appeal 2 weeks after being found guilty. If that fails, they could appeal for clemancy, about 4-6 weeks later. If that fails, execution is carried out at a time and place of the state's choosing. The prisoner has no final meal. They are taken from their cell, unannounced, to the execution chamber, only about 4-5 people in the chamber, including a priest, asked to confirm their names, hood slipped on, rope, open trap. -

Crime Malaysian Woman Arrested for Stealing from Shop in Betong
Picture courtesy of NBT A Malaysian tourist has been arrested just two hours after allegedly stealing over 30,000 baht in cash from a bag shop near a popular tourist attraction in Betong district, Yala province. On 4 August, Pol. Lt. Col. Pornchai Choonuan, an investigator from Betong Police Station, received a report of a theft at a bag shop located near the Piyamit Tunnel in Moo 2, Tano Maero Subdistrict. The tunnel is a well-known historical site frequented by both Thai and international tourists. According to the shop owner, 74-year-old Yuk-Jen Sae-Jen, the theft occurred around noon. She explained that while she was attending to customers outside her shop who were interested in buying durian, she left her handbag containing more than 30,000 baht inside the shop. Upon returning, she discovered the bag missing. CCTV footage revealed a foreign woman, dressed in black with long trousers and trainers, entering the shop from the side and taking the bag. She later discarded it under a durian tree about 50 metres from the shop. Ms Yuk-Jen’s daughter reported the theft to local police. Pol. Col. Jirawat Duding, Superintendent of Betong Police Station, immediately ordered a response. Investigators led by Pol. Lt. Col. Rusman Deenamor and Pol. Lt. Col. Phongsak Khunbanteng reviewed surveillance footage and coordinated with immigration officers to prevent the suspect from fleeing the country. Within two hours, officers located and arrested the suspect, 55-year-old Yeo Kim Lian, at a traditional Thai massage parlour in central Betong. She was found in possession of cash totalling around 38,000 baht, in both Thai and Malaysian currency. During interrogation, Yeo admitted to the crime. She had arrived in Betong the day before with a group of friends and hired a tuk-tuk for sightseeing. Upon arriving at the Piyamit Tunnel, she separated from her group and noticed the elderly shopkeeper was alone, prompting her to seize the opportunity to steal the bag. She has been charged and will face legal proceedings in accordance with the law. Adapted by Asean Now from NBT 2025-08-06 -

Report Thaksin Donates 1m Baht: Boosts Border Cops' Morale
You have verifiable links and figures for your claim or am I supposed to take your word for it? You haven't even come up with even a guesstimate let alone a percentage, which was a relatively simple request. No, you asked 'What percentage of Thais ridicule him?' and my reply was 'many', I did not quote figures nor did I claim any. Just for your educational purposes, from the Merriam-Webster dictionary: Many: 1: consisting of or amounting to a large but indefinite number 2: being one of a large but indefinite number How many Thais have you personally met and asked them what they think about Thaksin out of the probable 40 million voters? 39,539,190, I refuse to ever step foot in Phuket again, so some of these voters are inaccessible. The PPP are supposed to be the most popular party in Thailand. Granted that they won more seats than any other party at the last election, yet they still could not form a government, not even a coalition government with any other political party. Neither could the PTP. 🙃 All that you can do is cry that your crooked idol is being picked on by nearly everyone. Do you really believe that he is innocent and all that he does is for the good of the Thai people? Blinded by the truth. -

Crime Authorities Seize 2.5 Million Meth Pills Near Border
Picture courtesy of Naewna. Security forces in Chiang Rai have seized 2.5 million methamphetamine pills near the Mekong River border in Chiang Saen district, in what is believed to be part of a major cross-border drug trafficking operation. On the night of 4 August, at approximately 23:00, officers from Narcotics Suppression Operation Unit 32, under the Third Narcotics Suppression Command (NSOU 32), in coordination with the Internal Security Operations Division and local administrative officials from Chiang Saen district, acted on intelligence regarding a drug trafficking attempt. Authorities had received a tip-off that a large quantity of meth pills would be smuggled across the Mekong River from a neighbouring country into Thailand. The drugs were then expected to be transported along rural roads to storage locations before being moved further into the country. Security personnel launched a coordinated patrol and surveillance operation, focusing on key rural roads in the area. During their sweep, they discovered a suspicious pile of ten sacks hidden among tall grass along a roadside in Ban San That, Moo 4, Yonok Subdistrict, around 6 to 7 kilometres from the Mekong River. The sacks had been carefully concealed with branches and foliage, but no suspects were present at the scene. Upon inspection, each sack was found to contain approximately 250,000 methamphetamine pills, totalling around 2.5 million pills. Officials believe the traffickers abandoned the drugs upon realising they were being monitored and fled the scene. All seized narcotics have been handed over to Chiang Saen Police Station as evidence. Authorities are now expanding their investigation to identify and apprehend those involved in the smuggling operation. The seizure marks yet another significant blow to transnational drug networks operating along Thailand’s northern border. Adapted by Asean Now from Naewna 2025-08-06 -

Finance Tax Break Bonanza: Thais to Benefit from New Foreign Income Rule
The term "Thai tax residents" includes expats who live here 180 days or more per year and have a pension transferred. It's been mentioned numerous times in this thread already but the Thai tax code applies to all Thai tax residents equally, regardless of nationality, gender, race, creed, or AN membership.
