Truevisions loses EPL
Actually JAS tv have bought the PL and FA Cup for the next 6 seasons. I did read that JAS would like as many people as possible to be able to watch the football including AIS & True customers, so maybe True can buy 'some' PL matches. We'll have to wait and see. -

As I post this response, the dollar slipped below 33 baht (32.87 and still dropping). I haven't seen the dollar this low in a LONG time. -

Report New EOD Training Facility Opens in Hanoi, Strengthening US-Vietnam Relations
Photo: VN Express A significant step in the long-standing collaboration between the United States and Vietnam was marked with the inauguration of a new Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) training range in Ba Vi, an outlying district of Hanoi. This facility is a crucial addition to Vietnam's efforts to address the deadly remnants of war—a legacy of unexploded bombs and mines. Funded by the Office of Defense Cooperation at the U.S. Embassy in Vietnam, the facility is part of the National Mine Action Programme (2010–2025). The construction of this two-hectare range began in July 2024, bolstered by a US$700,000 U.S. Government grant. Fully equipped with classrooms, sanitation facilities, mine detection areas, and more, it meets the International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) to bolster Vietnam's ability to clear unexploded ordnance (UXO) safely. The new center is expected to transform the Vietnam National Mine Action Center (VNMAC) into a leading national hub for mine action training, thus enhancing operational efficiency and capacity in dealing with UXO. The inauguration coincided with the 30th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between the two nations, following the elevation of their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Marc E. Knapper highlighted the significance of the event, noting the U.S.'s commitment since 1993, with $234 million invested in UXO clearance, dioxin remediation, and supporting individuals with disabilities. Ambassador Knapper commended local and international partnerships, including Norwegian People’s Aid and PeaceTrees Vietnam, which support local agencies like the Quang Tri Mine Action Center. He emphasized the facility as a symbol of peace, security, and stronger bilateral defense relationships, fulfilling components of the 2023–2028 defense cooperation plan focused on UXO remediation. Maj. Gen. Lance Okamura, Deputy Commanding General for the U.S. Army Pacific, hailed the opening as a significant milestone in the humanitarian mine action program, reflecting years of thorough planning and collaborative efforts. This facility reinforces Vietnam's proactive stance in global security and peace efforts, reflecting the strengthened strategic relations between Hanoi and Washington.
