Hur tänkte du där?
Som vanligt tänkte han inte alls.
Klippet har två olika ljudspår. När jag googlade fram det så spelades det upp på arabiska av någon anledning och därför trodde därmed att dom pratade just arabiska. När jag klistrade in länken på forumet så spelas det engelska ljudspåret upp per automatik. Det går att välja ljudspår genom att klicka på kugghjulet. Det är hela förklaringen.

Israel kanske inte alltid behandlade araberna väl men de var vänliga mot Thailand och många thailändare arbetade i Israel. Jag har själv varit i Israel och hälsat på en barndomsvän utanför Tel Aviv. På gården där jobbade många thailändska män och de verkade glada och nöjda.

Heavy Overnight Storms Cause Flooding and Traffic Chaos Across Pattaya
Friday, 11 September 2026PATTAYA, Chonburi: Continuous heavy rain lashed Pattaya for more than an hour on Thursday night into Friday morning, flooding multiple low-lying roads and causing significant traffic delays after the city’s drainage system failed to cope with the downpour.
The rain began falling steadily and intensified across the city, with water pooling on streets and in areas known for poor runoff. By 10:30 p.m. on September 10th, 2026, several key routes were inundated, forcing drivers to proceed with extra caution. Affected locations included Soi Khao Noi, Khao Talo Road, the road running alongside the railway, Sukhumvit Road in South Pattaya, and stretches of Sukhumvit in central PattayaMvh isan lover

Highway 44 between Surat Thani and Krabi includes a wide central corridor originally reserved for future infrastructure, now prompting ideas for a possible Gulf–Andaman rail link.
SURAT THANI, Thailand – Highway 44, stretching across southern Thailand between Surat Thani and Krabi, could offer an unusual opportunity to develop a future railway linking the Gulf of Thailand with the Andaman coast. Often known as the “Southern Highway”, the 133-kilometre road was developed with a wide central reservation in parts of its route, reflecting earlier plans for a land bridge connecting the two coasts. Space was set aside with future infrastructure, including rail and energy transport, in mind. The question now is whether that existing corridor should be studied again for a modern rail network.
One proposal would establish a railway branching from the existing southern rail network around Surat Thani and follow the Highway 44 corridor towards Krabi. Rather than ending at Krabi, the line could eventually continue south for roughly 100 kilometres to connect with the existing Thung Song–Kantang railway around Huai Yot in Trang province. Such a connection would create a second rail route through the southern peninsula, linking Surat Thani, Krabi and Trang before reconnecting with the existing southern railway network at Thung Song.
Further extensions could potentially connect Krabi with Phang Nga and Phuket, while another future route could run north from Phang Nga through Ranong and eventually connect with the southern railway at Chumphon. This would create an interconnected rail network serving both sides of the peninsula rather than concentrating the southern railway system almost entirely along the Gulf coast.
More than a railway to Krabi
The proposal is not simply about giving Krabi, Phang Nga or Phuket a direct railway connection. It could also provide greater resilience for Thailand’s transport network. Much of the existing southern railway depends on a single main corridor. Flooding, landslides, accidents or damage to railway infrastructure can therefore disrupt passenger and freight services over considerable distances.
A second route through the Andaman side could provide alternatives when sections of the main line are temporarily unavailable. Passenger and freight trains could potentially be diverted, reducing the risk of a disruption affecting the entire southern network. The concept could also improve connections between major tourism destinations, airports, ports, cities and local transport services.
Potential economic benefits
Krabi, Phang Nga, Phuket and Ranong are major tourism destinations, but most visitors currently depend on road transport or domestic flights to reach them. A direct rail connection could give residents and tourists another option while reducing dependence on cars and short-haul flights.
Stations along the route could also create opportunities for hotels, restaurants, local businesses, farmers and tourism operators. Towns currently regarded mainly as places to pass through could develop into new destinations. Freight could provide another important use. The South produces rubber, palm oil, fruit, seafood and processed agricultural products. A railway connected to ports and distribution centres could provide an alternative for moving goods, potentially reducing long-distance trucking costs and pressure on major roads.
Greater use of rail could also reduce fuel consumption, traffic, road accidents and emissions if sufficient passenger and freight demand developed.
An existing corridor with potential
One of the strongest arguments for further study is the existing Highway 44 corridor itself.
Because land was previously reserved in parts of the route for future infrastructure, using the existing corridor could potentially reduce the need for extensive new land acquisition compared with developing an entirely new railway alignment.
However, having space available does not mean a railway could simply be built there.
A proper feasibility study would need to examine engineering requirements, gradients, curves, drainage, utility infrastructure, road crossings, safety, environmental impacts and effects on nearby communities. Most importantly, authorities would need to establish whether passenger and freight demand would justify the investment.
A phased approach could therefore be considered, beginning with the Surat Thani–Krabi section before assessing extensions towards Huai Yot, Phang Nga and Phuket, and potentially Ranong and Chumphon at a later stage.
A Southern Mobility Corridor
The broader idea could be viewed as a Southern Mobility Corridor rather than a single railway line.
Under such a concept, passenger trains, freight services, airports, ports, local buses and tourism destinations could be connected into one transport network. Surat Thani could serve as a gateway between the Gulf and Andaman sides, while Huai Yot and Thung Song could provide connections to the southern network. Chumphon could become another northern connection point for an eventual Andaman route.
If developed successfully, the network would give the South more than one direction of travel and provide alternative routes during emergencies or infrastructure failures.
It could also spread the economic benefits of improved transport beyond the best-known tourist centres.
A corridor worth studying
The broad central reservation of Highway 44 should therefore not simply be viewed as unused space left over from an earlier infrastructure plan. It represents a corridor that previous generations deliberately prepared for future development. The original land-bridge concept may not have been selected in the form once envisaged, but that does not necessarily mean the infrastructure corridor has lost its strategic value.
A new feasibility study could determine whether the space can support a modern railway and whether demand from passengers, tourism and freight could justify the investment.
The idea remains a proposal rather than an approved railway project. But with Thailand seeking to expand rail connectivity and strengthen links between major economic and tourism centres, the Southern Highway 44 corridor may be worth examining again.
The question is no longer simply whether Thailand needs a railway to Krabi. It is whether the country should use an existing strategic corridor to build a wider rail network linking the Gulf of Thailand with the Andaman coast and giving southern Thailand more options for travel, trade and transport resilience.

Cha-am’s mayor has ordered an immediate halt to a wastewater discharge onto Cha-am Beach and instructed municipal lawyers to pursue legal action, following concerns from residents and tourists.
The municipality said Mayor Nukul Pornsomboonsiri issued the order after learning of the incident. Images and information circulating on social media had prompted concerns about the potential impact on the environment and tourism.
According to the municipality, a contractor hired by an external agency was repairing a pump belonging to the Wastewater Management Authority when the incident occurred. It said the work was neither a municipal project nor an operation carried out by municipal staff.
The mayor directed the municipality’s legal affairs team to take action over the discharge of wastewater into the sea. The statement did not specify which laws may have been breached or whether a legal complaint had been filed.
The municipality apologised to residents, tourists and those affected. It said it had instructed the agency that commissioned the repairs and contractors working within its jurisdiction to exercise care and strictly follow relevant laws and regulations to prevent a recurrence.
It also thanked those who reported the incident and said public comments and suggestions would inform its oversight of work carried out in the area.
The statement did not identify the contractor or the agency that hired it. It also provided no details about the volume of wastewater discharged, its treatment status or any water-quality test results.

Att det skulle vara rasism att ingripa mot lagbrott som utlänningar begår låter konstigt, denna kampanj som regeringen bedriver är ju inte riktad mot eller begränsad till någon speciell nationalitet, många länders expats drabbas ju.

Så länge SD driver exakt samma linje mot alla utlänningar i Sverige är det alltså med samma logik helt OK enligt dig?
Eller är det bara som vanligt en helt annan måttstock som gäller för Thailand?
