A Khaosod News reporter based in Yala province surveyed Betong Airport in Yarom subdistrict, Betong district, Yala province, southern Thailand. This was in response to social media claims that the bamboo decorations at the airport had completely deteriorated while the airport has been out of use since late 2022.

The survey on August 30 revealed that all areas of Betong Airport are still being maintained as normal, including the bamboo decorations which remain sturdy and intact. Although there are currently no commercial flights operating, Betong Airport is providing services for government flights and private flights. The airport has a runway measuring 30 x 1,800 meters.

Betong Airport is the 39th airport in Thailand. It was built during the government of Prayut Chan-o-cha and is located 85 km southeast of Yala city and 20 km from the Malaysian border. It received its first passenger operations from Nok Air on January 29, 2022. However, due to economic factors, Nok Air ceased commercial flights on October 28, 2022.

Nevertheless, Ezy Airlines is currently in the process of obtaining a civil aviation business license to open the "Hat Yai-Betong" flight route this October.

Eakaphon Thipjaruphoka, 53, a resident of Nai Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phetchabun Province, gave an interview to Khaosod Online after posting a video clip of a very large python that had slithered up onto the roof beam, which gained a lot of attention.

He said that he saw the snake on the evening of August 29. Initially, he and his girlfriend were sitting on the second floor of the house with their two cats. When it was time to sleep, his girlfriend took the cats to put them in cages on the ground floor.

When they looked up, they saw the snake draped over the roof beam, which shocked them greatly because it was a very large python. They quickly called the Phetchabun City Municipality to send officers to help capture it.

The snake was approximately 4 meters long and weighed about 30 kilograms. It's believed that it entered the house targeting the cats as prey, as they had previously lost some of their pet cats.

The result of the vote by Democrat Party MPs to consider confirming the resolution of the party's executive committee to join the government with the Pheu Thai Party, with Chalermchai Sri-on, the party leader, as Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, and Mr. Dech-it Khaothong, the party secretary-general, as Deputy Minister of Public Health, was approved with 43 votes in favor and 4 votes against.

Before the vote, there was an extensive debate lasting more than 3 hours. The supporters argued that this move was necessary for the country to move forward and to urgently create achievements to save the party. They believed it would be an opportunity for the party to recover.

Meanwhile, the opposition reasoned that the party has been fighting against the Thaksin regime all along, and joining the government would be considered abandoning the party's ideology.
