Report Israeli Tourist Sparks Outrage Over Shoe Rule Dispute in Thailand
Its their home and their business, and you can stay away if you don't like it, pretty simple. It is the Thai culture, and it is easy enough to ask if it is ok to keep shoes on or not. The Israeli Jewish crap is nonsense. -

Visa run to Laos, always fine? No problem with TDAC
Thank you. Did you use them? The link is a little bit "strange", it doesn't open a full web page to present their service and quickly ask you to upload your Passport Information Page. This service belongs to asq.th or ask.th belongs to Thai Visa Centre? -

Myanmar Junta Chief Defies Arrest Warrant with Moscow Visit
The Irrawaddy Myanmar’s military leader, Min Aung Hlaing, is travelling to Moscow to attend Russia’s Victory Day celebrations on 9 May—despite an international arrest warrant issued by an Argentinian court over his alleged role in the Rohingya genocide. Invited by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the junta boss is expected to use the visit to deepen ties with Moscow across economic and security sectors. Leaders from China, India, and Brazil are also scheduled to attend the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany. This marks Min Aung Hlaing’s fifth visit to Russia since seizing power in the 2021 coup, and his second this year alone. Despite warming ties with Moscow, his relationship with Beijing remains notably cooler. He has never met Chinese President Xi Jinping, and was excluded from last year’s Belt and Road Initiative summit in Beijing. Speculation is rife that he may seek an informal meeting with Xi while in Moscow, under the guise of expressing thanks for China’s post-earthquake aid and recent diplomatic support. China has played a key role in brokering ceasefires with ethnic armed groups, including the MNDAA in Shan State—allowing the junta to retake strategic territory without conflict. The visit comes amid continued violence inside Myanmar. Although the regime recently extended a ceasefire to aid post-earthquake recovery, the civilian National Unity Government reports the military has carried out 282 airstrikes since 28 March, killing at least 276 people, including 31 children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has meanwhile warned that he cannot guarantee the safety of foreign leaders visiting Moscow, as Kyiv continues its drone attacks on the Russian capital. Observers say Min Aung Hlaing is using international events to project legitimacy while evading legal accountability. Despite the growing toll of violence at home, the general appears undeterred—pursuing diplomacy abroad, even as his regime faces growing isolation and condemnation. -2025-05-07 -

Australia Launches World’s Largest Battery-Electric Ship in Maritime Milestone
They don't need 'em. They gots a nukular reactor to produce their electricity, not produced by NIMBY coal furnaces. As to the advanced electric boat, "Hull 096 features a massive energy storage system with over 275 tons of batteries." 275 tons of lithium batteries? On a leaky boat? That will end well. -

Politics PM Shinawatra Addresses Thaksin's Hospitalisation Controversy
You forgot to mention that he was fine when he landed in Thailand. His sickness came very rapidly after he was sent to jail (and probably hit him before he even managed to see inside his cell). yes, it was a remarkable recovery. Nothing short of a miracle.
