		<description><![CDATA[The mother of a decorated U.S. Marine veteran who was brutally stabbed to death in Phuket this weekend says local authorities are not doing enough to find her son&#8217;s killer and pleaded for harsh punishment for the fellow Thai boxer who allegedly ended Dashawn Longfellows life. &#34;I want them to kill the guy that did this to my son,&#34; Tammy Longfellow told ABC News on Monday. &#34;I hope they punish him beyond recognition for taking a boy&#8217;s life that didn&#8217;t deserve this.&#34; &#34;I just feel like they&#8217;re not trying hard enough,&#34; Tammy Longfellow said. &#34;The cops ain&#8217;t doing nothing fast enough. They keep telling me they&#8217;re closing in on him. Well how long do you think you&#8217;re going to close in on somebody to catch him?&#34; Now Tammy Longfellow and her family are wondering what is taking police so long. &#34;I just feel like they&#8217;re not trying hard enough,&#34; Longfellow said. &#34;My son went over to their country, something he loves to do. He loves to travel. He loves to see different counties. And to go over there and get brutally killed by an ignorant S.O.B. My son never hurt a fly. He&#8217;s always been a protector.&#34; &#34;I don&#8217;t understand. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Danish soldier who lost his leg in Afghanistan was hit by a motorbike in Krabi this week. His prosthetic leg was smashed in the accident, but his insurance company refused to pay for him to change the ticket. Benjamin Kragsskjold lost his leg in Afghanistan in 2008 when he was serving as part of the NATO force. Thursday morning he was hit by a motorbike while vacationing in Krabi with his fiancé. When he wanted to change the ticket and return home, his insurance company balked. - It is totally shocking to see that European travel insurance will not help me get home from vacation. I can not take a holiday and go around town without my prosthetic leg, which has been smashed, &#34;says Mr Kragsskjold to Danish daily Extrabladet. Since Ekstra Bladet yesterday learned that the two young people had been rejected by their insurance company, the newspaper&#8217;s chief editor decided to pay for the return ticket for the couple. - We will not witness that a man like Benjamin Crow shield must suffer so much, although he gets help. He has already gone through a tough time since he lost his leg in Afghanistan, says chief editor [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The situation of dengue fever outbreak is still a worry in provinces along the Andaman Coast. The number of infected patients continues to soar. Minister of Public Health Jurin Laksanawisit says the overall situation of the dengue fever spread was still considered critical. This year, the number of infections is 83% higher than last year and seems to be rising. The numbers during past few months were also higher than the same period of last year by 40%. The cumulative infection toll since January stands at 48,514. Out of this number, 53 died. Last week alone, 3,135 more people were infected with 10 dead. The top 10 provinces with the highest infection rate are Chanthaburi, Tak, Songkhla, Narathiwat, Satun, Pattani, Krabi, Trat, Phatthalung, and Rayong.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Phuket Tourism: Is it Sustainable for Phuketians? Long one of Thailand’s island gems, Phuket is the gateway to many holiday destinations in the Andaman Sea. Restaurants, hotels &#38; resorts, tour operators and real estate companies have expanded so rapidly that they far outstrip the demand of Thai and foreign tourists during the low season. But during the high season, businesses compete intensively for market share and to maximize profits before the seasonal rains usher in the low season once again. But when the crowds disperse and the rains clear, the destruction of the islands’ delicate ecology stands in contrast against the very sales pitches and postcards that drew tourists to Phuket in the first place – its pristine natural beauty. Successful sustainable tourism in Phuket will depend on fruitful collaborations that incorporate all stakeholders: businesses operating in the sector, local communities, national and local government, and the tourists. The challenge will be to prioritize long-term sustainability that takes into account impacts on the environment and local communities, both present and future, over short-term wins and over-consumption during the annual high season. Key to this will be heightened awareness and collaborative efforts to invest in or incentivize investments in more sustainable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Thai stock market has been the best performing of the biggest Asian markets since May. The SET index has increased by more than 20 percent since its May low. “Foreigners are starting to invest in Thai equities again on strong earnings and economic growth,” Supakorn Soontornkit, chief investment officer at MFC Asset Management Pcl, which oversees $7.5 billion, said in an interview in Bangkok with Bloomberg. Khun Supakorn adds that the return of overseas investors will be the main factor driving share prices. Overseas investors bought a net 8.1 billion baht ($252 million) of Thai shares in the past six trading sessions, the largest six-day purchase in almost four months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Foreigners sold 58.7 billion baht of domestic stocks in May, a record monthly selloff. Thailand’s finance ministry said last week it expects the economy, Southeast Asia’s largest after Indonesia, to grow 8 percent in the second quarter, even after clashes between troops and anti-government protesters in April and May claimed 89 lives in the nation’s worst political violence in 18 years. Investors should buy the “under-owned” stock markets after India led foreign investment into Asian emerging markets, according to Credit Suisse Group AG [...]]]></description>
