Crime DSI Probes Alleged Illegal Runway Built Over Public Land at Private Airport
Pictures courtesy of Matichon. The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) has launched an investigation into a private airstrip allegedly constructed over public land in Khanong Phra Subdistrict, Pak Chong District, Nakhon Ratchasima. The 1-kilometre runway is suspected of being built without official permission and in violation of public land use regulations. Pol. Lt. Col. Yuttana Praedam, Director-General of the DSI, authorised a team led by Pol. Lt. Col. Natthaphon Ditsayatham, Director of the Natural Resources and Environment Division and Pol. Lt. Col. Nimit Promma, Deputy Director of the same division, to meet with local officials in Khanong Phra to verify the legality of the airstrip. The inquiry was triggered by a formal complaint filed by Mr. Phattharaphong Supakson, following media reports alleging that a public road was being used as a runway for private aircraft. The road in question had long been used by local residents and is reportedly under the jurisdiction of the Khanong Phra Subdistrict Administrative Organisation (SAO). During a site inspection, officials found that the airstrip runs through public land. The runway itself is approximately 19 metres wide and 1,000 metres long, overlapping with a public thoroughfare roughly 3.5 metres wide and 450 metres long. The road is said to end at a private golf course. The DSI revealed that the land in question is officially managed by the Lam Ta Khong Self-Development Community (a government resettlement scheme), not by the local subdistrict authority. However, any construction, including a runway, falls under the jurisdiction of the Building Control Act B.E. 2522 (1979), which involves local administration during the permitting process. Notably, no application for permission to build the runway has been found in records dating back to 2007, according to the SAO’s engineering department. This suggests the runway may have been built illegally, raising concerns over safety and improper use of communal land. Further complicating matters, engineers from the SAO reported that although the public road appears to lead into the golf course, the path within has been covered in grass and landscaped features, effectively preventing access and removing its function as a public road. Pol. Lt. Col. Natthaphon and the inspection team are continuing to collect evidence and may expand the investigation to include the private golf course. The DSI has reiterated its commitment to protecting public land and environmental resources. Members of the public are encouraged to report illegal land use or environmental violations to the DSI’s Natural Resources and Environment Division via the website www.dsi.go.th or by calling the free nationwide DSI hotline.

Crime Buriram Police Stage School Intruder Drill to Bolster Emergency Readiness
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. Police in Lam Plai Mat district, Buriram province, have conducted an emergency response drill simulating a deranged man attacking a local school, as part of a proactive strategy to strengthen security in educational institutions. The exercise took place at Lam Plai Mat Kindergarten School, located adjacent to the Lam Plai Mat Police Station, at approximately 08:30 on 16 July. The drill was supervised by Pol. Col. Wachirawit Wannathani, the district police superintendent, who delegated responsibility to Pol. Lt. Col. Chaiphreuk Paewphonsong, together with Pol. Lt. Somporn Nadee and various operational units. The simulation involved a scenario in which an armed individual forcefully entered the school premises in a disturbed mental state. Officers from patrol divisions, motorcycle units, traffic police and administrative crime prevention teams coordinated a swift and effective response. Within minutes, the situation was “neutralised,” demonstrating the police’s ability to manage such emergencies rapidly and efficiently. The drill was conducted in a controlled and orderly manner, with strong interdepartmental coordination. The operation not only tested the readiness of local law enforcement but also served to reassure teachers, students and parents of the safety protocols in place. According to police, the exercise followed national guidelines on school safety preparedness and forms part of an ongoing commitment by the Lam Plai Mat Provincial Police to prevent tragedies before they occur. The station has pledged to continue regular training and simulations to protect the public, operating under the principle: “Prevention is better than cure.” The initiative comes amid growing awareness of the need for swift and capable responses to potential threats in school environments across Thailand.

Trump's Uncle, Bombers, and Big Headed Baloney: MAGA's Gone Full Cartoon
Oh, and get this, during the same wizard-of-words summit, Trump also went off about Uncle John having “three degrees in nuclear, chemical and math.” Three degrees bruv? Nuclear? Chemical? Math? Really? Mate, that’s campaign podium fan fiction 101. For the record, Uncle John had an engineering degree, a physics degree, and a PhD in electrical engineering. No nuclear, no chemical, and definitely no advanced maths badge from Hogwarts. Bloke was smart, yeah, but Trump’s out here makin’ him sound like Professor X with a side hustle in nuclear wizardry. I swear, if this geezer keeps goin’, next week he’ll be claimin’ his uncle invented time travel and taught Einstein how to boil an egg. America, lads… where the fairy tales come with a side order of lunacy. -

Visa options for 4-5 month snowbird stay for winter 2025-2026
Thanks for the ideas. Canadian winters are best enjoyed while still young. I'm not anymore. It seems that the longer you stay outside of Thailand in between VE stamps, the less likely you are going to run into problems the second time around. A direct correlation maybe. So if I stayed 2-4 weeks in Vietnam or Cambodia, then there would be less need to hire a safe entry company for the second entry. I'm not sure if my gf will go for that, however, Unless I take her along to VN of KH, Wasn't planning on it though. How will you be arranging your visas this winter?
