UK King Charles sends urgent warning in 80th anniversary address
I wrote "My father was in it right from 1939 to 1945. He must be turning in his grave to think what he risked his life for 6 years for." The next post yours said "He's a disgrace to the British people." Sorry for the confusion but you didn't specify that you meant Charlie. Actually the only people respected in the UK now are migrants. Only people like us who have a relatives connected connected to either World war who shows any respect or interest. -

Report Thailand Shines on Global Stage with 'Alien: Earth' Debut
Not much of Thailand in the first two episodes. It's set in 2120 and it looks like CRT's are coming back, not LCD /LED displays. 🙄 Some of the tech used is strange ,more like the show was made in 1990. Lets see if Thailand is going to shine on "Global Stage" for this. TAT must be salivating. -

Middle East Israeli Forces Push Gaza Evacuations Amid Tragic Attacks
When 99% of the IDF and their Jew leaders are in jail for war crimes and crimes against humanity (anyone that follows orders, assists or aids and abets the committing of such are also legally guilty) there won't be much defense left. Just a few Jew windbags that you see on places like AN. 🙂 -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Border Tensions Rise: Arrests Made in Sa Kaeo Smuggling
Picture courtesy of KhaoSod In a bold move to curb illegal border activities, military units in Thailand's Sa Kaeo province have intensified patrols, resulting in the capture of a woman linked to unlawful banking activities and two men attempting to cross into Cambodia. On August 17th, the Border Protection Unit Burapha, Aranyaprathet Task Force, and Ranger Company 1206, alongside Infantry Regiment 2, Battalion 1, acted on intelligence about illegal crossings. Their efforts paid off in Ban Kut Hin, Khlong Nam Sai subdistrict, where they detained three individuals trying to make their way into Cambodia. Despite two Cambodian guides vanishing into the night, officials managed to detain Sudarat Butprom, a 25-year-old Thai woman from Sakon Nakhon. Upon interrogation, Sudarat confessed that an agent persuaded her to open "mule accounts" in Cambodia for a sum of 4,000 baht (approximately £90) per account. She undertook the trip in early July but soon desired to return due to rising tensions at the border. She paid 4,500 baht (about £103) to a guide to assist her re-entry into Thailand but was caught before making it back. The authorities transferred her to Khlong Nam Sai Police Station, where she faces charges of illegal entry. Later that day, the same task force encountered two additional suspects in a sugarcane field, also in Ban Kut Hin, as they attempted to cross into Cambodia. The men, identified as Sitthiporn Mankong and Suwat Boonpayung, revealed they were cousins from Kanchanaburi and Nakhon Pathom, respectively. They explained that a recruiter named Mark promised them work in Cambodia, instructing them to open bank accounts and prepare documents for a business. The duo journeyed from Nakhon Pathom to Aranyaprathet district, where a Thai contact met them and led them to the border. Expecting to meet a Cambodian guide next, the men inadvertently walked into an ambush by patrolling officials, who seized company registration documents from them. Both were taken for further questioning at Khlong Nam Sai Police Station. These incidents underscore the increasing desperation among those seeking alternative employment opportunities across borders. It also highlights the challenges authorities face in cracking down on smuggling and other illicit activities that exploit the vulnerabilities at international boundaries. As Thailand continues to tighten security, those involved in these activities are being forced to rethink their risky ventures. The recent arrests serve as a grim reminder of the underlying issues driving such desperate actions. By clamping down on these illegal operations, the authorities aim to dismantle the networks that exploit people and bring stability to the border region. However, the larger economic and social factors at play may require more comprehensive solutions to provide sustainable alternatives for those tempted by such perilous paths.
