Insomnia specialist in Bangkok (who doesn’t prescribe benzos)
I went to a functional medical doctor and did a stool test and an OATs test. One gives a breakdown of all the bacteria species in your gut whereas the other shows various metabolites that relate to a more limited number of gut bacteria, Candida and other nasties. I got these tests in Australia and I don't know what is available in Thailand but I imagine some stool tests must be available. -

Accident Search Ends for Remaining Missing Victims in Collapsed Auditor-General’s Office
Picture courtesy of Amarin Authorities have officially ended the search for the remaining seven missing individuals following the collapse of the State Audit Office building in Bangkok. Although no additional bodies were found during the final sweep, over 100 body fragments are undergoing forensic analysis, which may help identify the remaining victims. Mr. Suriyachai Rawiwan, Director of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, announced that the final area of the site, beneath the basement-level lift shaft, had been fully cleared and no further human remains were discovered. The entire search operation has now concluded, with attention turning to the removal of debris and analysis of recovered remains. Teams continue to transport rubble to a designated area, where daily inspections are carried out by K-9 units and specialist personnel during morning and evening shifts. On the evening of 9 May, a piece of human skull was found among the rubble. By the following morning, two additional bone fragments were recovered by a 57-member team and five sniffer dogs. At present, a large mound of debris, nearly 10 metres high, remains at the site. For safety reasons and to ensure no fragments are overlooked, the mound will be reduced to approximately 6 metres using backhoes, with the excavation proceeding from the left side of the site. Mr. Suriyachai confirmed that the area will be handed back to the State Audit Office by 15 May. The Chatuchak District Office has formally notified the agency of the scheduled return, while coordination is ongoing with the police to establish a timeline for further investigative procedures, including possible seizure of the site for continued forensic analysis. CCTV footage from the building remains in police custody for evidence. When asked whether representatives of the State Audit Office had visited the site, Mr. Suriyachai confirmed that an insurance representative conducted a walkthrough with police officers to assess the building’s structural remains. Entry is still tightly controlled and subject to registration. Although no intact bodies were recovered in recent days, the fate of the seven missing victims now hinges on forensic identification of over 100 body fragments. Machinery remains active on-site, focusing solely on clearing concrete and steel. This incident has sparked national concern over building standards and oversight, especially as investigations into the collapse continue. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-05-11. -

Politics Ta Muen Thom Temple Not a Disputed Site, Thai Fine Arts Department Reaffirms Sovereignty
Picture courtesy of Naewna. The ancient temple of Prasat Ta Muen Thom is not a subject of territorial dispute, according to Thailand’s Fine Arts Department, which confirmed the site has been officially registered as a Thai historical monument for over 90 years. A recent Facebook post by the popular historical page Borannaanmaareignited public interest in the temple, amidst resurfacing concerns over sovereignty. The post stated unequivocally: “Politicians may come and go, but the sovereignty of the Thai nation must endure steadfastly.” According to official records, the Fine Arts Department surveyed and listed Prasat Ta Muen Thom as a Thai national monument in 1935 (B.E. 2478). The site currently falls under the supervision of the 5th Regional Office of Fine Arts in Prachinburi. Restoration efforts have long been conducted with full knowledge of Cambodian authorities. Located on the Thai side of the border in Ban Nong Khan Na Samakkhi, Moo 8, Ban Ta Miang Subdistrict, Phanom Dong Rak District, Surin Province, the temple is the largest among the Ta Muen temple complex. “Thom” means “big” in Khmer, and the complex includes three main temples: Ta Muen Thom, Ta Muen Tot, and Ta Muen. The temple sits atop a sacred natural rock formation symbolising a Swayambhu Shiva Lingam, and was historically used for religious rituals. It lies within the Ta Muen Pass (also known as Ta Miang Pass) in the Dângrêk mountain range. The Tourism Authority of Thailand has even developed tour routes to facilitate visits by local and international tourists, highlighting the temple’s cultural significance and ease of access from within Thailand. Despite recent reports that Cambodian troops were seen near the temple site, Thai officials argue such movements amount to a violation of Thai sovereignty. Commentators warn against creating unnecessary tension or allowing the situation to echo the previous Preah Vihear Temple dispute. “It is not a disputed site. Do not try to turn it into one,” wrote historian Pruetthiphon Prachumphol. He emphasised that Cambodia has long been aware of the Thai administration of the area, and accused certain groups of intentionally stirring nationalist sentiment for political purposes. The Thai military presence in the area remains firm, with armed forces maintaining position as part of their duty to protect national sovereignty. The government is being urged to handle any escalation diplomatically but firmly, using internationally recognised watershed maps to assert Thailand’s territorial rights. Officials reaffirm that Prasat Ta Muen Thom is, and has always been, part of Thailand’s cultural and territorial heritage. Adapted by Asean Now from Naewna 2025-05-11. -

Accident Shipping Clerk Drowns After Slipping into Pond Behind Warehouse in Chiang Rai
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A 23-year-old woman drowned on the evening on 9 May, after slipping into a pond while attempting to access a toilet located behind a warehouse in Chiang Rai province. At approximately 20:20, Pol. Lt. Col. Surakit Wongyai and Pol. Capt. Natthaphong Uppor from Ban Saeo Police Station in Chiang Saen district received a report of a missing person, believed to have drowned in a pond near a warehouse in Ban San Sai Kong Ngam, Moo 10, Ban Saeo subdistrict. Rescue personnel from Wiang Pha Ngo Chiang Saen were dispatched to the scene, where they found a pond approximately 15 metres long, 6 metres wide and 3 metres deep. Divers from multiple local rescue units, including Saeng Kaew, Siam Chiang Saen, Sing 1, and Piyamitr teams, were called in to assist in the search. The victim, identified only as Ms J, a shipping clerk residing in Ban Phakham, Ban Saeo, worked at Chiang Saen Commercial Port. She had been at a storage warehouse roughly 5 kilometres from the port, regularly inspecting cargo before it was loaded for export. According to local witnesses, Ms J had been checking documents when she reportedly excused herself to use the toilet located behind the warehouse. As it was dark, she started her motorbike and used its headlights to light the way. Moments later, a faint cry was heard, but it raised no alarm among nearby workers. When Ms J failed to return, a search was launched. Her parked motorbike was discovered near the toilet. Divers located her body around 20 minutes later at the bottom of the pond, approximately 8–10 metres from the toilet. Initial investigations suggest that Ms J may have lost her footing near the pond’s edge due to poor visibility and accidentally slipped in. Unable to climb out due to the depth and darkness, she likely became exhausted and drowned. Her body has been sent for post-mortem examination before being released to her family for funeral rites. Police are continuing to investigate, though foul play is not suspected. Adapted by Asean Now from kaoded 2025-05-11.
