Report Central Vietnam: Man Fined for Driving Car onto Busy Beach
Picture courtesy of VN Express A 40-year-old man has been fined 5 million VND (approximately 7,000 Thai Baht) and had two points deducted from his driving licence after driving onto a restricted beach in central Vietnam. The Dak Lak Provincial Traffic Police Department issued the penalty last Friday after the man drove his seven-seat vehicle onto the busy sands in Binh Kien Ward, a region formerly part of Phu Yen Province. Locals and tourists were enjoying the beach when the car became stuck in the sand, requiring a specialised vehicle to tow it away. Regulations strictly prohibit all cars from accessing the beach due to the potential danger to the public. This incident is a reminder of the importance of observing these regulations to ensure public safety. Just last month, on 3rd June, another alarming beach incident occurred in the province. A 44-year-old man faced investigation for disturbing public order after allegedly driving his pickup truck across a crowded beach. The incident caused significant distress among beachgoers and sparked widespread public outrage. In Vietnam, traffic laws are enforced with a points system. Each driving licence begins with 12 points. Losing all points results in a driving ban, and the offender must wait at least six months before retaking the driving test. Losing two points is a significant penalty that highlights the authorities' commitment to maintaining safety and order on the roads and beaches. This case has reignited discussions about beach safety and the enforcement of local regulations. Authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and adhere to laws designed to protect both visitors and the environment. As the region welcomes more tourists, safety remains paramount. Increased awareness and understanding of these regulations are crucial. The community is encouraged to report any breaches to ensure the safety and enjoyment of public spaces for all. The authorities continue to monitor these areas closely, ensuring compliance and deterring any future violations. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the need to respect public spaces and adhere to regulations designed to keep everyone safe. As tourism in Vietnam grows, maintaining a balance between enjoyment and safety is essential. Authorities are determined to uphold these standards, creating a safe environment for both locals and visitors alike. Adapted by ASEAN Now from VN Express 2025-07-08 -

What sort of personality traits do you need to marry a bargirl?
I think some people make the mistake of thinking that because their Thai GF /wife is a " good girl " and never worked in a bar , that they will be different . Often , they want the same thing - financial support and money to change their life ie. new house ,new car and some land . With bar ladies , it`s more upfront and obvious . They needed money ( for whatever reason ) and rather than work in a factory job , they decided to try their luck in the nightlife industry - a wellworn path in Thailand , historically , when options for the young from the rural areas were limited to work in the fields or " Kai tua " in the streets / bars. -

Report Philippine Serpent Eagle Rescued and Rehabilitated in Sorsogon
File photo for reference only A Philippine serpent eagle, found weak and dehydrated in Sorsogon, has been rescued and handed over to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Bicol. The bird is now receiving care at Albay Park and Wildlife. The eagle's journey began when Lalaine Herrera Amor, a concerned citizen, discovered the distressed bird in Barangay 7, Dansol. Demonstrating commendable compassion, Amor cared for the eagle for about three weeks. Despite her attempts to release it into the wild, the bird kept returning to her, prompting her to reach out to DENR for expert assistance. DENR officials have since transported the serpent eagle to Albay Park and Wildlife for thorough assessment and care, with the goal of releasing it back into its natural habitat once it is fully recovered. The Philippine serpent eagle, known scientifically as Spilornis holospilus, is a small raptor endemic to the Philippines. Typically found in riparian forests, foothills, and cultivated lands, they are a crucial component of the local ecosystem. Francisco Milla Jr., Regional Executive Director of DENR Bicol, emphasised the importance of community involvement, urging the public to report similar wildlife discoveries to ensure proper handling and conservation. This heartwarming rescue highlights the significance of community awareness and collaboration in wildlife protection. With continued support, efforts like these can help preserve the Philippines' unique biodiversity, ensuring that species such as the serpent eagle thrive for generations to come.

Within this forum, there are individuals who can quite readily be classified as Anti-Vax - that is, opposed to all vaccinations. The ongoing discussions in the 'Off the Beaten Path' sub-forum leave little room for doubt on this.
