Accident Phuket: Foreign Woman Drowns Just Hours After Arriving on Holiday
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. An incident occurred in Phuket on the evening of 10 June, when a 41-year-old Albanian tourist drowned at Karon Beach less than two hours after arriving on holiday with her husband. Police were called to Chalong Hospital at around 18:00, following reports that a female tourist had been pulled from the sea unconscious and later pronounced dead at the hospital. Police from Karon Police Station, led by Pol. Lt. Jaras Lempan and Pol. Col. Khunadet Na Nongkai, attended. The woman had travelled to Phuket earlier that afternoon with her 43-year-old Egyptian husband. According to police, the couple had checked into a hotel in the Karon area and later headed to the beach for a swim at around 16:00. Just ten minutes after entering the water, the woman disappeared beneath the waves. Lifeguards and rescue teams from the Sam Ao emergency unit managed to locate and retrieve her from the sea. Despite performing CPR at the scene and rushing her to hospital, she was declared dead on arrival. Medical staff later confirmed she had likely died at the beach before emergency intervention. Her devastated husband, dressed only in swimming shorts, was seen weeping beside her body in the hospital’s emergency room. Authorities have since sent the body to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a full post-mortem examination to determine the precise cause of death. The Albanian embassy has been notified and arrangements will be made for the repatriation of the body for religious rites and funeral proceedings. The couple had reportedly planned to stay in Phuket until 12 June. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-06-11 -

A Poll - Do you like the Down-Thumb emoji?
Don’t like it as it is overused by the deranged and stalkers. Should probably bring back who is posting them (and possibly take emoji posting rights away from downvote ‘abusers’ 😋), but then you get tit for tat pissing contests because they downvoted me etc etc. Still a believer in just having the + / - and dump the rest. But of course it’s not in the forum owners’ interests since some poor souls serial post for their likes, which in turn generates more content. -

California in Uproar as Newsom Condemns Trump’s Troop Deployment as ‘Deranged Fantasy’
California in Uproar as Newsom Condemns Trump’s Troop Deployment as ‘Deranged Fantasy’ President Donald Trump’s controversial decision to deploy thousands of additional troops to Los Angeles has sparked intense backlash from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who decried the move as fulfilling “the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial president.” As protests against immigration raids surged for a fourth consecutive day, federal forces were sent into the city in an effort to control unrest that has now spread to at least nine other U.S. cities. According to military sources, 700 U.S. Marines from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines based in Twentynine Palms, California, have been stationed in the area. They join a growing National Guard presence that has doubled in size, now numbering around 4,000 troops. Their mission, officials say, is to protect federal property and personnel, including immigration enforcement agents. However, the move has ignited a political firestorm in California, where state officials argue that President Trump bypassed the legal requirement of securing gubernatorial approval before deploying troops. The state government has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, asserting that the troop deployment violates both the U.S. Constitution and the sovereignty of California. “We have not reached the point where local law enforcement has got beyond its means to deal with the situation,” said LA County District Attorney Nathan Hochman during an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. He emphasized that only a “small fraction” of the local population was actively protesting, with an even smaller number involved in criminal acts. Nonetheless, Hochman acknowledged the presence of violence, stating, “Whether it’s burning Waymo vehicles, throwing cinder blocks and bricks at the police, driving a motorcycle into the police, or vandalising – and defacing through graffiti – public and private buildings,” such instances have occurred. Tensions reached a boiling point on Monday evening as hundreds of protesters gathered outside a federal detention center in downtown LA, where undocumented immigrants are being held. Los Angeles police officers responded with stun grenades and gas canisters, while National Guard troops formed a defensive cordon around the building. Among the demonstrators, some hurled objects at law enforcement officers, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. In a further escalation, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi named a man, Elpidio Reyna, who has been accused of assaulting federal agents by throwing rocks. A search warrant was executed at his home, and Bondi stated that Reyna would be added to America’s “Most Wanted” list. The catalyst for the unrest was a series of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids targeting Latino neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Protests erupted last Friday as news of the raids broke, but the demonstrations have since unraveled into widespread disorder, including freeway blockages, looting, and attacks on self-driving vehicles. The unrest has now reached cities including New York, Philadelphia, Dallas, Austin, and San Francisco. Mexico's foreign affairs office confirmed that at least four Mexican nationals arrested in LA since Friday have already been deported. This adds an international dimension to the crisis, further inflaming tensions between immigrant communities and federal authorities. Although President Trump has not invoked the Insurrection Act—which would authorize troops to engage directly in civilian law enforcement—the deployment is notable for its rarity. The last instance of National Guard troops being sent to a U.S. city without a governor’s approval occurred in 1965. Amid this intensifying clash between federal power and state sovereignty, a CBS News/YouGov poll conducted before the protests revealed a divided nation: 54% of Americans supported Trump’s deportation policy, while 50% approved of his broader immigration approach. Still, Newsom remains defiant, threatening additional legal action against the Marine deployment and vowing to defend the state's constitutional rights. Adapted by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-06-11
