Community Chiang Mai: MOU Signed to Boost Aerial Response to Wildfires, Disasters & Health Emergencies
Picture courtesy of Matichon. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) has signed a landmark memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Chiang Mai authorities, to enhance aerial operations in tackling wildfires, natural disasters and emergencies in Chiang Mai province a region severely affected by annual haze and environmental crises. The agreement was signed on 16 May at the Chiang Mai Railway Park by Mr. Jatuporn Buruspat, Permanent Secretary of the MNRE, alongside Mr. Pichai Lertpongadisorn, President of the Chiang Mai Provincial Administrative Organisation; Dr. Waranyu Chamnongprasatporn, Chiang Mai Provincial Public Health Officer and representatives from the Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University. Speaking at the event, Mr. Jatuporn emphasised Chiang Mai’s vulnerability to severe forest fires and air pollution, particularly in mountainous districts such as Mae Chaem, Omkoi, Chiang Dao and Samoeng. These areas face recurring health and environmental threats due to seasonal wildfires and smog. They are also prone to landslides, flash floods, and other emergencies that are difficult to access by road. “To address these challenges, aerial capabilities are essential,” Mr. Jatuporn said. “Aircraft can be used for patrol missions, hotspot detection, emergency response, fire suppression and rapid assistance to residents in remote areas. This includes the evacuation of patients, delivery of relief supplies, and provision of urgent medical and public services.” The MOU aims to improve inter-agency coordination and operational efficiency in combating forest fires and reducing the impact of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the province. It also seeks to bolster access to healthcare, rescue services and disaster response in isolated communities, ensuring greater equity in emergency and public health services across Chiang Mai. “This agreement represents a critical step toward improving the quality of life for Chiang Mai’s residents, not only during crises but also under normal circumstances,” Mr. Jatuporn concluded.

Crime Brutal Bloodshed in Pattaya: Briton Stabbed, Suspects Vanish
No, I would guess crime has grown along with the town. The reporting goes up and down at the whim of those who control it.... they sometimes get told to tone down the negativity.
