Crime Foreign National Detained After Threatening Jomtien Beachgoers with Scissors
Just make a list of all the awful things that have happened in mostly Phuket and Pattaya in the last week !!!! It’s becoming unbelievably crazy or dangerous or frightening. I never thought I’d see Thailand like this. It often felt a little on the boring side years back apart from a murder or 2 and some bad traffic accidents. I can remember discussing 2 different murders on Phuket for months and years on end. -

Report Thai Armed Forces Showcase Strength in Annual Training Exercise
Pictures courtesy of Amarin. In a show of military power and coordination, the Thai Armed Forces held their annual training exercise, CALFEX, at the Royal Thai Navy’s training ground in Chanthaburi province. The exercise, which took place on 28th April, saw participation from the Royal Thai Army, Navy, and Air Force, demonstrating a unified and formidable force. Admiral Jiraphol Wongwits, Commander of the Royal Thai Navy, led the inspection of the exercise alongside senior officers. The CALFEX (Combined Arms Live Fire Exercise) is a key component of the Thai Navy’s 2025 field training programme, designed to test both personnel readiness and the operational capabilities of various military units. The exercise, held at the Royal Thai Navy’s Training Field No. 16 in Chanthakhem, involved live-fire operations and simulated combat situations, where military personnel tested their skills in securing and holding strategic locations, with support from heavy artillery and airstrikes. A variety of military equipment was showcased during the exercise, including amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs), armoured personnel carriers, tanks, and aircraft. The Navy deployed amphibious tanks, including six AAVs, three VN16 amphibious assault vehicles, and several armoured personnel carriers (BTR-3E1). Additionally, the Army contributed four M1126 Stryker armoured vehicles, while the Air Force provided two F-16 fighter jets for air support and suppression of enemy forces. The Navy’s air capabilities were also on full display, with Dornier maritime patrol aircraft and T-337 reconnaissance planes providing close air support and surveillance, while EC-645 helicopters were used for medical evacuation operations. As part of the exercise, a variety of air-ground coordination techniques were tested, with a focus on joint operations among the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The results of the training will help to assess and improve the effectiveness of joint military strategies and inform future military planning, particularly in national defence scenarios. This high-profile exercise not only demonstrated the strength and readiness of Thailand’s military forces but also underscored the importance of inter-service cooperation and the continuous development of the country’s defensive capabilities.

America has emerged....as an international laughingstock
??? I don't understand. You'll have to clarify exactly what you mean. If your goal was to irritate me then congratulations, you've succeeded: There's little I dislike more than someone telling me what I think and/or believe. Much depends on the product of course, but If Trump keeps this blanket worldwide tariff, the demand for US goods will fall. Ample opportunity for other countries - especially low-cost producers such as China - to step into the breach and reduce any perceived over-production. If you count China as un(der)developed the I agree but it is also a mega-market. In 2022 the US accounted for 13% of the world's goods imports ($3.1tn) and 8% of the world's exports ($2.0tn). No denying that they are big absolute numbers and significant proportions. However, the idea that the world's economy will simply collapse if the US decides to disengage itself is pie in the sky. The current tariff war is obviously different in nature to Brexit but the analogy is justified. The misplaced, arrogant conceit of Brexiters is mirrored by supporters of Trump; the mantra is the same, 'They need us more than we need them'. There can be little doubt that in the case of Brexit this has has been proven untrue. I will concede that the US has a stronger hand to play in any negotiations than the UK had and Trump may well win some concessions from other nations, however, I very much doubt that it will lead to a fundamental reordering of international trade. Imo in the medium/longer term, Trump's policy will be viewed in a similar light to Brexit: an act of economic sado-masochism. -
