I will be going to Savannakhet again this year around July. The last time I went it was all rush rush and just get the visa processed at the consulate, as it was my first time and have not been there before. This time I would like to I would actually like to enjoy the experience and enjoy it. I have heard that Laos is famous for its french baguette sandwiches and would love to know if any people who have been to Savannakhet has any recommendations. I did get chance to eat at the restaurant with the 5 foot tall penguins and also visited a Thai owned bar that way over charged for food that in Thailand would have been 50% cheaper. I have also noticed a whole load of new places to stay have opened since the last time I went so any recommendations would be appreciated.

      Pregnant Woman 26, Killed After Being Run Over by Lorry on Samut Prakan Road

      Picture courtesy of Khaosod A 26-year-old woman who was two months pregnant lost her life after being run over by an 18-wheeler lorry in a horrific road crash on the evening of 15 July, in Samut Prakan province. The incident occurred around 19:30 on Phuttharaksa Road, near the Red Bridge Junction and just before the entrance to the Bang Pu Industrial Estate. Emergency responders from Samut Prakan Hospital’s rescue unit, officers from Bang Pu Police Station and Ruamkatanyu Foundation volunteers were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, they found a white Honda Giorno motorbike lying damaged in the middle of the road. Nearby, the body of a woman was discovered with severe head trauma, having been crushed by a lorry wheel. She was later identified as Ms. Laddawan 26, who, according to a medical assessment, was approximately two months pregnant. Roughly 30 metres from the crash site, an 18-wheel trailer truck was parked with visible traces of blood and brain matter on its rear mudguard. The truck driver, Mr. Chaloemchai, 31, told authorities that he had been driving in the centre lane when he noticed a motorcycle in the right-hand lane. As he approached the area where the collision occurred, the motorbike suddenly veered into his lane, giving him no time to react before the impact. Police conducted an initial investigation at the scene, collected CCTV footage from nearby cameras and interviewed witnesses to determine the cause of the crash. The body of the deceased was transported to the forensic department at Rama Samut Prakan Hospital. Authorities have stated that they will contact the victim’s family to claim her body. The investigation remains ongoing to determine whether any charges will be filed in connection with the fatal crash. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-07-17

      CIB Officers Arrest Man Who Fired Seven Shots During Alcohol-Fuelled Altercation

      Picture courtesy of CIB Officers from The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) have apprehended a man accused of firing seven gunshots during a heated confrontation at a house party in Tha Tako District, Nakon Sawan. The arrest was made at the car park of Big C supermarket in Tha Tako following a coordinated stakeout by the Special Operations Division (SOD), under the CIB. The suspect, identified as Mr. Siwaphan faces multiple charges including attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition, carrying a firearm in public without reasonable cause and unlawful discharge of a firearm in a community area. The incident occurred at a private residence in Moo 5, Wang Yai Subdistrict, near a local temple. According to investigators, the suspect had been drinking with a group of 5–6 friends at the house, which belonged to a friend of his girlfriend, when a group of men from another village arrived. The group, reportedly friends of the suspect’s girlfriend, intended to settle a personal dispute with him. The situation quickly escalated into a heated argument, during which one of the men allegedly attempted to ram the suspect with a car twice. In response, the suspect drew a revolver and fired seven rounds in their direction. Fortunately, no one was injured. The suspect fled the scene immediately after the shooting, later disposing of the firearm in a nearby river in an effort to destroy evidence. The victims filed a complaint with police at Tha Tako Police Station. An arrest warrant was subsequently issued, and investigators from the SOD traced the suspect’s whereabouts to the Big C parking area in Tha Tako. He was taken into custody without resistance and handed over to local police for further legal proceedings. Authorities confirmed that legal action against the suspect is now underway and reaffirmed their commitment to swiftly pursuing violent offenders who pose a threat to public safety.

      Trump's Tariff Threat: Russia on Edge Over US-Ukraine Weapons Plan

      Regarding Sumy I agree. That's come to a bit of a halt but it ties up Ukrainian forces in the region. The below maps are from 3 years ago and the latest map (which as I said lags behind the actual situation) with the cities of Kostiantynivka and Pokrovsk circled. Again this is a hard fought, slow moving war of protracted attrition. The difference over 3 years is clear. July 17 2022 and July 16 2025.
