BREAKING NEWS Thai Forces Close Sa Kaeo Border Amid Tensions
Damn! I used to do border runs at that crossing. There were a LOT of locals of both nations going back and forth doing business. This will hurt those who can least afford it. -

Crime Norwegian Man Arrested at Surat Thani Bus Terminal After Attempted Crossbow Attack
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A Norwegian man has been arrested at the main bus terminal in Surat Thani after allegedly attempting to murder a fellow national with a crossbow in an incident that took place on the island of Koh Samui. The suspect, identified as Mr Elmer, was taken into custody by officers from Surat Thani City Police while trying to flee the province by minivan. His arrest followed the issue of an arrest warrant by Koh Samui Provincial Court (Warrant No. 185/2568, dated 23 June 2025) on charges of attempted murder. The incident occurred on 19 June at a private residence in Koh Samui. According to police, Ms Pia, a Norwegian national and the intended victim, was inside the home along with another man, identified only as Mr Simon and she was watching a film on the living room sofa. Mr Elmer, meanwhile, was in his bedroom, reportedly heavily intoxicated from alcohol. Suddenly, Mr Elmer emerged from his room in a state of rage and began shouting incoherently. He confronted Ms Pia and a heated argument ensued. Fearing for her safety due to his aggressive behaviour, Ms Pia attempted to call the police. As she dialled the emergency number 191, Elmer briefly returned to his room. Moments later, he reappeared wielding a crossbow fitted with a laser sight and aimed it directly at Ms Pia’s head. As she was on the phone with the police, Elmer fired. The bolt struck her mobile phone, which she was holding to her ear, destroying it but sparing her life. Mr Simon tried to intervene but was unable to stop the attack. Following the incident, Elmer fled the scene. A manhunt ensued, leading to his arrest four days later, on 23 June, at the Surat Thani Bus Terminal as he attempted to board transport out of the province. The authorities have praised the swift action of investigating officers, noting that had the phone not absorbed the crossbow bolt, the consequences could have been fatal. Elmer is currently being held in custody and is expected to face prosecution. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-24 -

A scenario of an after action discussion following air attack on nuclear facilities in Iran
Throwaway statement. Of course it does, but should expect flack when it repeatedly threatens to annihilate another. The best way it can defend it’s people is if its rulers stop hurting them and change its ways. Some bs from Netanyahu over the years for sure, but Iran has been repeatedly setback in its goal to get a nuke. That’s why they secretly build underground, right, because it’s for ‘peaceful’ purposes. 🤔 -

US Pushes Forward with Private Aid Plan for Gaza Amid UN Opposition
Fifteen international human rights organisations have called on the Israel- and US-backed Gaza food delivery group, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), and other private groups running humanitarian aid delivery in Gaza to cease their operations or face legal consequences. In a letter sent on Monday to GHF and the affiliated Safe Reach Solutions and UG Solutions, the rights advocates warned that private contractors operating in Gaza in collaboration with the Israeli government risk “aiding and abetting or otherwise being complicit in crimes under international law, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide”. “GHF’s militarized model, coupled with its close collaboration with Israeli authorities, undermines the core humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence,” the letter sent on Monday warned. Rights groups warn Gaza Humanitarian Foundation it may be liable for international law violations -
