Putin Expresses Readiness for Talks with Trump to End Ukraine War
Interesting. I've seen reports of Putin and Trump talking over the last four years but that is contradicted here where Putin says he has not talked to Trump in 4 years. Whatever, they're both known liars. -

Rescue Workers Clash in Chiang Mai Hospital Over Territorial Dispute
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A heated confrontation between two rescue teams in Chiang Mai has shocked the local community, with one team allegedly brandishing a metal pipe in a threatening manner during an altercation at a hospital. The dispute reportedly stemmed from overlapping responsibilities in transporting injured or deceased individuals, as a newly established rescue team entered the area without being integrated into the official local emergency response system. The incident occurred following the death of a foreign national in Saraphi District, Chiang Mai. Police from Saraphi Police Station initially contacted Ruamjai Rescue Foundation to collect the body and transport it to Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. However, tensions erupted when another rescue team, reportedly from outside the Chiang Mai system, intervened and transported the body ahead of Ruamjai’s arrival. According to reports, the vehicles of both rescue teams converged at the hospital, where a verbal altercation escalated. Pictures shows one member of the non-local team allegedly blocking a narrow road with their vehicle, prompting accusations of obstructing access. The situation deteriorated further when a member of the same team reportedly wielded a metal pipe and attempted to intimidate the opposing group by reaching into their rescue vehicle. A representative from the victimised rescue team stated that the aggressors were a newly established unit from another province. “They are not officially part of Chiang Mai’s emergency medical response system and have no assigned jurisdiction here. Instead, they operate freely across areas, which has caused confusion and conflict,” the representative explained. In response to the incident, the affected rescue team has consulted a lawyer and plans to file formal charges against the aggressors at Phuping Police Station. They have also compiled video evidence to support their case. The Chiang Mai Rescue Association confirmed the sequence of events, noting that the non-local team had entered Chiang Mai without proper registration in the province’s emergency network. “This incident reflects a lack of coordination and accountability. Such unauthorised operations disrupt the established emergency response framework,” a spokesperson said. The incident highlights a growing issue in Chiang Mai, as unauthorised rescue teams from other regions increasingly encroach upon established rescue zones. Authorities have urged all involved parties to comply with official registration and coordination protocols to prevent further conflicts. -- 2024-12-28 -

Suvarnabhumi Set for 200,000 Travellers This New Year's Day
Picture courtesy: TNA-MCOT Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok is poised to handle over 200,000 passengers on New Year's Day, according to the Airports of Thailand (AOT). As the world prepares to usher in a new year, Thai authorities are meticulously coordinating efforts to ensure a seamless experience for the influx of travellers. With bustling crowds anticipated, Suvarnabhumi Airport's executive team, led by Keerati Kitmanawat, has mobilised resources to offer both security and convenience for departing passengers. This includes setting up Airport Help centres to assist individuals with using the Common Use Self Service and the Common Use Bag Drop systems. Furthermore, passengers are encouraged to register for facial scan biometrics to streamline their journey through the airport. The airport's measures aim to prevent delays and enhance safety. Comprehensive security protocols are in place, with stringent patrols throughout the terminal to maintain order. This collaborative effort involves coordination with government officials, airlines, and various stakeholders to prioritise passengers' safety and experience. Beyond security, Suvarnabhumi is embracing the spirit of the New Year by offering gifts to passengers. Those travelling through the fourth-floor departure terminal can look forward to receiving Travel Kit sets as a token of goodwill. Additionally, complimentary drinks will be available at various spots, adding a touch of warmth and hospitality during transit. Keerati Kitmanawat expressed that Suvarnabhumi Airport is ready to welcome tourists from across the globe with open arms. The airport's broader vision is to elevate its service to meet world-class standards. Within five years, the goal is to rank among the global elite in airport services, a testament to Thailand's commitment to enhancing its infrastructure and service delivery. This influx of passengers reflects a revived enthusiasm for travel, as borders are more open and people are eager to explore. It also marks a significant milestone for Thailand's tourism sector, which is steadily regaining its momentum. As 2024 dawns, both the airport authorities and passengers are hopeful for a prosperous and safe year ahead. The efficient handling of this surge will be crucial, not just for Suvarnabhumi's reputation, but for Thailand's image as a leading tourist destination, reported The Nation. -- 2024-12-28 -
