Thai - Cambodia Conflict Civil Aviation Authority Bans All Drone Flights Nationwide Until 15 August
File picture courtesy of ThaiRath. The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) has issued an urgent nationwide ban on all drone flights, effective immediately until 15 August 2025, in response to tensions along the Thai–Cambodian border. Under the directive, all civilian-operated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including those flown for recreational, commercial or academic purposes, are strictly prohibited throughout the kingdom. The only exemption applies to drones operated by state security agencies. The sweeping order follows an earlier CAAT directive, issued on 29 July, which restricted drone activity in 14 high-risk areas near the border. However, authorities have since reported suspected unlawful drone use in additional regions, raising serious concerns over national security and public safety. In a formal statement released at 15:50 on 30 July, CAAT cited the need to strengthen preventative measures to ensure comprehensive national coverage and deter unauthorised aerial surveillance or data collection that could compromise state security. The agency is acting under powers granted by the Air Navigation Act B.E. 2497 (1954) and ministerial authorisations issued in March this year. Violators of the ban face severe penalties, including imprisonment of up to one year, a fine not exceeding 40,000 baht, or both. Furthermore, military personnel and authorised state security operatives are legally empowered to neutralise or destroy drones that breach the order, using anti-drone systems where necessary. The CAAT has also appealed to the public to assist in enforcement efforts by reporting any suspected drone activity. Reports should include the date, time, location, drone description, and, if available, photographs or video footage. These can be submitted via the following channels: • CAAT Unmanned Aircraft Systems Division Tel: 02-568-8851 Email: [email protected] • Anti-Drone Centre, Royal Thai Police Tel: 02-126-7846 Email: [email protected] • Local authorities such as police stations, military outposts, or regional security units. The ban remains in effect until 15 August 2025 or until further notice, depending on developments along the Thai–Cambodian frontier. Authorities have urged strict compliance with the directive, citing national interest and the need to prevent potential disruption to civil aviation, public order and overall security.

Expat Discontent in Thailand
With all due respect, a bit of a generalisation that. At worst it's new age new cage baloney. If some sociopath / institution / govt system is imposing its will on me without my consent .... then I asked for it? 😂 -

Community Bitter Row Between 88-Year-Old Businessman & Ex-Wife Sparks Police Intervention
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A heated altercation between an 88-year-old well-known tailor and his former wife escalated into a dramatic street confrontation in Nonthaburi, prompting a police response and sparking a potential legal battle. The incident occurred at around 18:00 on 29 July in Soi Bang Krasor, Mueang District, when local police received reports of a physical altercation involving elderly businessman Mr. Sombat, also known as “Pa Den”, a respected former president of the Nonthaburi Traders Association and owner of a renowned bespoke suit shop. Police arrived to find Mr. Sombat sitting in the driver’s seat of a car with a bleeding arm injury, surrounded by a crowd of concerned onlookers. His car had been blocked in the narrow street by a woman later identified as his ex-wife, Mrs. Bua, who had confronted him and his current companion, Ms. Nok, as they were attempting to leave the property. According to witnesses, Mrs. Bua opened the car door, forcibly removed the keys, and attempted to prevent Mr. Sombat from leaving, leading to a struggle during which his arm was scratched, apparently reopening an old wound. Ms. Nok reportedly berated Mrs. Bua during the standoff. Mrs. Bua claimed she had come to retrieve her personal belongings and clothing, which she had been prevented from collecting since the couple’s recent separation less than a week ago. She told police she had become fed up with Mr. Sombat’s late-night lifestyle, including regular visits to saunas, cafés and late-night eateries, often returning home around 4:00am. She also alleged that he had recently been scammed by another woman, resulting in financial losses of over a million baht. Police advised both parties to continue discussions at the local station to avoid further obstruction in the neighbourhood. At the station, negotiations continued under police supervision. Mr. Sombat refused to allow his former wife access to the house, citing past verbal abuse and the recent disappearance of 88,000 baht in cash withdrawn from his bank account. He insisted that if Mrs. Bua wished to collect her belongings, she must do so through official legal channels with a court order and police presence. “I no longer trust anyone to enter my home,” Mr. Sombat stated. “If she wants her clothes, she can bring a court warrant. But she’s not setting foot in my house again.” He also declared his intention to press assault charges against Mrs. Bua. Following the complaint, investigating officers issued a referral for Mr. Sombat to receive medical treatment, with the resulting report to be included in the case file for further legal proceedings.
