Thai Troops Clash with Drug Traffickers on Border, Two Dead
Picture courtesy of KhaoSod In a dawn skirmish on Thailand's northern border, the Task Force Chao Taksin, part of the Pha Muang Force, engaged in a tense shootout with drug traffickers attempting to smuggle a trove of methamphetamine. The confrontation, occurring as the group tried to transport 32 backpacks filled with drugs into Thailand, resulted in the deaths of two traffickers, while all military personnel escaped unharmed. The incident unfolded yesterday morning at 7:15 am, as Colonel Anuwat Panyanan led his team on a routine patrol. The unit spotted a suspicious group of 25 to 30 individuals loading modified backpacks onto an Isuzu pickup truck, bearing licence plates from Lamphun province. When the soldiers identified themselves and sought to conduct a search, the traffickers resorted to gunfire, initiating a fierce exchange that lasted about 10 minutes. In response, reinforcements were swiftly deployed to secure the scene, enabling a detailed investigation. The confrontation site yielded 32 modified backpacks, a long-barrelled shotgun, a grenade, two communication radios, and shell casings from AK-47 rifles. Despite the escape of the remaining traffickers back across the border, their abandoned contraband was seized by the authorities. Subsequent inspection revealed the backpacks contained a staggering six million methamphetamine pills alongside two backpacks of crystal meth, weighing around 64 kilogrammes. The sizeable haul, with an estimated market value in the tens of millions, was transferred to the Mae Fa Luang Police Station for legal proceedings. Reflecting on the operation, Major General Kidakorn Chantra praised the prompt actions of Colonel Anuwat and his team, emphasising the importance of heightened security measures in border areas notorious for drug smuggling. The Pha Muang Force has been instrumental in curbing illicit cross-border activities, a challenge exacerbated by the difficult terrain and the increasing ingenuity of traffickers. The incident underscores the ongoing battle against the drug trade in Southeast Asia, where authorities are continually adapting their strategies in response to evolving smuggling tactics. As Thailand grapples with this persistent issue, the vigilance of its border forces remains a crucial barrier against the tide of illegal substances affecting the region. The methamphetamine crisis remains a pressing issue, with impacts felt across Asia. The proactive approach of the Thai military highlights the nation's determination to intercept and dismantle trafficking networks that extend far beyond its borders.

No male Thai friends after years of living here? Help for the lonely farangs left out.
One of the first things I learned here is that Thai property is THEIR property. Farang property is COMMUNITY property. Having male Thai friends is impossible. The female friends are toxic enough. -

Parental neglect
Posted 16 minutes ago So only help with maths homework and not the other 8 subjects. ..................................Did you not read where I said "the only course which is necessary? I do help her with her English work also, but seeing that they're English teaching here is very poor at best, it's better that she hears me speak and teaches her English grammar, words and sentences and talking to her while we watch only English movies and series so she can understand how to pronounce words correctly. What she learns here again, will be put by the wayside as she won't need it in the US as every subject there will be 100% English spoken, written and read. I also help her with teaching her about music, meaning the best of music which I'm very passionate about and have knowledge of. She doesn't need help with physical education as it's only the kids running around playing at her school without a gym class. The other subjects, again, will be forgotten when she is enrolled in a school in the US. -

Krungsri online banking discontinued from 1 October 2025
Krungsri Bank is doing a fantastic job of migrating their customers into Biz Online who want to continue doing their banking from their PC. Within about 5 minutes after sending them an email requesting a temporary password for me and my wife, the phone rang. Very helpful bank representative walked us through the process over the phone. DONE. IN. Hat Tip to Krungsri Bank. I closed my account with SCB two years ago because they could not accommodate me doing my banking from home on the PC. Thank you, Krungsri Bank! -

Report Sunburn Nightmare: British Teen’s Thailand Trip Derailed by Sun
500 baht, she is lucky. I share her pain. Long sleeves, long pants and stayed in the shade but I neglected my feet with regular sandals. 2nd degree burns, blisters and swollen as if I had gout. You learn that lesson once and it's enough. -

Going back a few generations I've got ancestors who were sheep rustlers. Should I be worried? 😮
