Over 50 Myanmar Nationals Found Abandoned in Thai Forest
Picture courtesy of amarintv In a startling discovery, more than 50 individuals, identified as Myanmar and Rohingya nationals, were found hiding in a forest near a village in Khao Kho district, Thailand. This group had been abandoned by human traffickers after being smuggled into the country, left to fend for themselves without support. The incident came to light following a Facebook post by Phaitoon Khotsombat, a district official, who shared footage of the group and expressed disbelief over the occurrence. Around 9pm on February 10th, two exhausted foreign men approached local villagers seeking food, stating there were many more individuals who were also hungry. Acting on this tip-off, Phaitoon and his team discovered the group nestled in the forest. Communication challenges necessitated the help of a local Burmese worker to translate. The group shared how they had entered Thailand through the Mae Sot district in Tak province and were transported by truck to Nakhon Sawan province. They were promised work in Pattaya, Chon Buri province, but were ultimately abandoned in Khao Kho with false assurances of further transport. The group comprised 57 people—17 men, five women, and 35 minors under the age of 18. Local authorities in Khao Kho have been notified for further investigations. On the morning of February 11th, three additional men from the group were found wandering along a road in the Nang Ruea subdistrict and were taken into custody. Assisted by a translator, these men confirmed their illegal entry through Mae Sot as part of a larger group smuggled in. They were left waiting for a truck that never arrived, resulting in their dispersal and subsequent detainment by the police. Legal proceedings are now underway for those involved, reorted The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-12 -

Samsung A55-5G Macro image of Mango Blossom at night: What's wrong? if anything?
I should point out that my shots are all hand-held - no tripod used. The shutter speed on the most recent one was 1/100th of a second. Here's a photo I took last year when I really wanted to get close in on the detail, which I think is a good representation of what is possible with a standard phone camera. Apologies, no convenient spiders here at this time... -

Outdated 2-5pm Alcohol Ban Faces Renewed Criticism in Thailand
The UK had the same afternoon ban for decades but finally did away with it in the 1990s. I recall the reason the afternoon ban was introduiced in the UK (unless a myth), was to get the war-time workers back on the assembly lines after lunch. Industrialists and employers probably pushed to keep the afternoon ban for decades thereafter.
