Two Russian pilots injured when airship crashes in Pattaya

PATTAYA: -- Two Russian pilots were injured when an airship they commanded crashed because of turbulence.

The accident happened at 10 am Tambon Nongplue of Chon Burin's Bang Lamung district.

The airship belonged to Akkara Co Ltd.

Damrong Somakul, managing director of the firm, said the airship was bought from Russia for Bt30 million.

He said the two Russian pilots were flying the airship to a spot on Pattaya beach to take part in a show as part of the celebration of His Majesty's the King birthday Tuesday evening.

He said a sudden strong wind prompted the two pilots to lose control of the airship, causing it to crash against two power poles and a coconut tree before crashing on the ground.

Strong wind, from outside or inside the cabin?

If it crashed on Second Road nobody would have taken any notice.

trumps poo flown back from turkey

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w

Farage faces Clacton showdown as rivals refuse to stand Nigel Farage's dramatic gamble to resign as MP and force a by-election has taken another extraordinary twist after Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens and Restore Britain all announced they will not contest the seat. The Reform UK leader resigned his Clacton seat insisting voters—not Westminster—should judge the allegations surrounding his finances. If re-elected, Farage says he will return to Parliament with an

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school - England World Cup

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education. I wonder if these are the same kids the rightwing pearl clutchers insist are being discriminated against in schools? https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/jul/06/thousands-of-children-absent-from-school-in-wake-of-overnight-england-world-cup-win

https://leavingmaga.org/ Dear MAGA Americans, I was a devoted member of MAGA nation for seven years; it made me feel I was part of something important: a movement that was trying to save American democracy. But starting in 2021, I realized I had been mistaken. It took me a full year to finally break away. During that time, I came to understand that MAGA is sustained by a series of myths that are intended to create perpetual feelings of desperation and panic. Succumbing to these predatory myths

How much do you pay your girlfriend/wife

atpeace replied to Rockyroad's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub

They are just looking out for number "1". Most people on this forum get unglued if you have a minor disagreement or ask a question about their post, yet they expect their wife to be civil during a divorce. I had three properties and asked nicely to divide them equally but that didn't go so well as I expected. Plan B - surprise her with an OK but it has to be finalized today. That was my approach and the Thai government employee doing the paperwork smiled when she asked me, are you sure and I with no hesitation said YES. Divorce done and all my other assets untouched. Sucked but oh well and after 20 years she probably deserved the properties.

Madgee replied to asterboy66's topic in International Food

I often buy whole salmon from Big C. They let me choose the fish I want, then fillet/debone it while I do my other shopping. The head, tail, belly bones, etc. are tray wrapped, and the fillets are placed on ice in a polystyrene box. I use that for hydroponics! I cannot fault the service. On promotion until the 12th at 299 kg.
