Should I stay ou should I go? (Pattaya, Phuket)
It’s definitely not for booze. I drink very little. Might be a bit for women though I’m not single-minded about that… I want to leave France. Thailand is more affordable than Europe. The culture is different and I need a change… The climate and food are fine -

Myanmar Fishing Vessel Seized for Illegally Entering Thai Waters
Picture courtesy of RTN. Authorities in Ranong have seized a Myanmar-registered fishing vessel and detained six crew members after the boat was found trespassing in Thai waters near Koh Chang. The vessel raised multiple suspicions, leading officials to believe it may have been involved in illegal activities. On March 2, Vice Admiral Suwat Donsakul, Commander of the Third Naval Area Command and Director of the Maritime Security Command for the region, received a report from the 451st Air and Coastal Defence Unit (NPSR 451) on Koh Chang. Officials had detected an unidentified fishing boat intruding 3.2 nautical miles into Thai waters, west of Koh Chang. In response, Lieutenant Commander Apiphat Sirikhong, captain of patrol boat T.993, was ordered to investigate and apprehend the vessel. The patrol boat eventually located the suspicious fishing vessel 4.5 nautical miles south of Koh Sin Hai, well within Thai territorial waters. Upon closer inspection, the vessel, named Annawar Min 999, was confirmed to be Myanmar-flagged but was operating without displaying a national flag and lacked navigational radar. The crew consisted of six Myanmar nationals, but curiously, no fishing equipment was found onboard. The vessel’s interior was empty, with no storage for fish or ice, further raising suspicions. Authorities noted that the boat closely resembled another vessel intercepted by the Third Naval Area Command in February under similar circumstances. This led them to suspect the vessel may have been engaged in unlawful activities before being intercepted. The patrol boat escorted Annawar Min 999 and its crew to Ranong Deep-Sea Port, arriving at 10:45. At the dock, Captain Traichak Sasathatham, head of the Ranong Port Security Control Centre, along with officers from the Third Naval Area Command and various security agencies, initiated a thorough investigation. Officials from the Maritime Security Command and the Thai-Myanmar Border Fisheries Coordination Centre have begun questioning the crew to determine why they had crossed into Thai waters. Initial assessments suggest the vessel may have been involved in illegal operations, given the numerous suspicious factors. On the morning of March 3, a multi-agency inspection team conducted a detailed search of the vessel, with forensic specialists from Ranong Province collecting evidence. Authorities have vowed to take further legal action as necessary. -- 2025-03-04 -

Teacher Loses Consciousness While Driving, Crashes into Vehicles and House in Ayutthaya
Picture from responders. A dramatic road crash in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya on the morning of 3 March, saw a teacher lose control of his vehicle after reportedly blacking out behind the wheel. The crash resulted in significant damage to multiple vehicles and a roadside house, though miraculously, no serious injuries were reported. The incident occurred on the ring road in Moo 5, Pratu Chai subdistrict. The driver, a male teacher aged 50 from a local school, was on his way to work when he suddenly lost consciousness. As a result, his pickup truck veered off course and crashed into a passenger van parked on the roadside, waiting to pick up passengers. The impact caused the van to hit a red car parked nearby before the pickup continued forward, ultimately colliding with a house. The force of the crash left the teacher’s vehicle overturned and heavily damaged. Eyewitnesses immediately called emergency services, who arrived promptly to rescue the teacher from his overturned vehicle. Fortunately, he regained consciousness and only suffered minor scrapes and bruises on his arms and body. The driver of the damaged passenger van recounted the frightening moment, explaining that he had parked on the roadside to pick up passengers. “I was waiting with my van parked when suddenly the pickup crashed into the back of my vehicle. It then slammed into the red car beside me before hitting the house. It was a terrifying moment, but thankfully, no one was seriously hurt.” Police from Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya station responded to the scene and began their investigation. The teacher was questioned about the circumstances leading to the crash, though initial reports indicate no alcohol was detected in his system. Authorities will proceed with legal action in accordance with the law. -- 2025-03-04
