Trump - Guilty and Dirty
The phrase -- in this former free country -- is of interest. Tragically I think that conclusion is the current international consensus from both (now usually former) allies and enemies. -

Crime Court Jails Senior Police Officer Over Parachute Training Deaths
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. The Appeal Court has upheld prison sentences for six police officers over the deaths of two cadets during a parachute training exercise, handing a senior police colonel six years in prison without suspension and sentencing others to more than three years. The case stems from a 2014 training accident at the Royal Police Cadet Academy’s parachute course in Phetchaburi province, where two police cadets, Chayakorn Phutthachaiyong, known as “YoYo”, and Natthawut Tirasuwan, known as “Few”, died after their parachutes failed to deploy. Originally, the Samut Songkhram Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases sentenced defendants identified only as No. 2 to 9 to four years’ imprisonment each for negligence causing death, but acquitted them of malfeasance under Section 157 of the Penal Code. All appealed, though two defendants, 5 & 7, died during the appeals process. At 09.00 on 25 August, the Appeal Court delivered its ruling: • Pol Col Anothai Satsanga (Defendant 6) was sentenced to six years in prison, with no suspension. • Defendants 2, 3, 4, 8, and 9 were sentenced under multiple laws but, after reductions for cooperation, each received three years and four months. • Defendant 1, Capt Kanop Yusuk, was acquitted. The court determined that the defendants’ actions amounted to negligence causing death under Section 291 of the Penal Code, as well as offences under laws covering state officials’ misconduct. The ruling follows years of legal proceedings initiated by Mr Sathorn Phutthachaiyong, father of one of the deceased cadets, who joined the prosecution as a co-plaintiff. The case has drawn attention to serious lapses in safety standardsduring police training and has been seen as a test of accountability within the force. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-08-26 -

Thailand's Cashless Leap: Ahead of the Asean Pack by 2028
I totally agree. This isn't 100% a good thing. There will be far too much control over your accounts, a massive loss of privacy too. -

Accident Husband Killed, Wife Survives as Landslide Hits Couple
Picture courtesy of Daily News A man has died and his wife narrowly escaped after a landslide hit them while they were digging a drainage channel during heavy rain in Tak province early on 25 August. Rescue workers from the Phetkasem Foundation in Tha Song Yang district were alerted at around 03.30. Police and local officials joined the team at the scene in Ban Mae La Kee, Moo 12, Mae La subdistrict. They discovered the body of 38-year-old Mr Wicha Pinijacha, a local Karen villager, who had been buried under tonnes of mud. Only one hand was visible above the ground. His body had been carried away by the mudflow and was some distance from the original site. It took rescuers more than six hours to recover his body, digging out with only hand tools. His wife, Mrs Tita, who survived, told police that continuous heavy rain had begun the previous evening. Fearing that floodwaters would damage their crops, the couple decided to dig a channel to divert the water. While they were working, a torrent of mud and soil suddenly collapsed down the mountainside, sweeping her husband away. She managed to scramble to safety but was unable to save him. Authorities have warned villagers in the area to remain on high alert as persistent rain continues to raise the risk of landslides and flash floods. Adapted by Asean Now from Daily News 2025-08-26
