U.S. Issues Travel 'Warning' for Popular Asian Country on June 9
The United States Department of State issues travel "warnings" in order to describe "the risks and recommended precautions for U.S. citizens—not foreign nationals—in a foreign destination." "The Department of State has no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas. Information contained in these advisories reflects an assessment of threats only insofar as they may impact U.S. citizens, nationals, and legal residents," the U.S. Department of State said in a statement. In its latest warning for travelers from the United States, the Department of State issued a Level 1 advisory for those traveling to Thailand. The Level 1 "exercise normal precautions" warning is defined as: "The lowest advisory level for safety and security risks. There is some risk in any international travel, and conditions in other countries may differ from those in the United States." Those seeking to travel to Thailand were specifically warned about travel to four provinces within the country. "Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat, and Songkhla provinces due to civil unrest associated with ongoing insurgent activities," the warning said. Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat all come with a Level 2 "exercise increased caution" warning. "Periodic violence between Thai security services and armed insurgents has been known to occur in Thailand's three southernmost provinces of Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat. Seventeen districts in these provinces remain under a declared state of emergency due to ongoing violent conflict. There is a collateral risk of violence for U.S. citizens in Thailand's southernmost provinces due to low intensity conflict," the warning read." "The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in these provinces as U.S government employees must obtain special authorization to travel to these provinces." Those traveling to the country were warned to have evacuation plans that do not rely on U.S. government assistance and prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations.U.S. Issues Travel 'Warning' for Popular Asian Country on June 9 first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 11, 2025

Erin Patterson trial: Alleged mushroom poisoner to return to witness box for eighth day of evidence
Alleged triple-murderer Erin Patterson has denied she led health authorities on a 'wild goose chase' as they probed the mushroom poisoning of her four lunch guests. Ms Patterson returned to the witness box at her Supreme Court trial in Morwell this week for her second week of giving evidence. The 50-year-old is facing trial after pleading not guilty to the murder of three of her husband's family members and the attempted murder of a fourth. Simon Patterson's parents, Don and Gail Patterson, and aunt, Heather Wilkinson, died after eating a meal at Ms Patterson's home on July 29, 2023, in the country Victorian town of Leongatha. Heather's husband, Ian Wilkinson survived after spending about a month and a half in hospital. Prosecutors allege Ms Patterson deliberately poisoned the guests with death cap mushrooms while her defence argues it was a tragic accident. Giving evidence last week, Ms Patterson maintained she used dried mushrooms in the deadly lunch which she had bought from an Asian grocer in Melbourne's east in about April 2023. She told the court she initially planned to use them in a pasta dish, but decided they would be too overpowering and stored them in a Tupperware container in her pantry. She said she now believes she may have added foraged wild mushrooms to that container. Facing questions from Crown prosecutor Nanette Rogers SC on Wednesday, Ms Patterson was asked if she was worried about them being too strong for the beef Wellington. 'No, I didn't think that. I thought it was the perfect dish for them,' she responded. Dr Rogers went on to probe the exchange Ms Patterson had with Department of Health officer Sally Ann Atkinson about the Asian grocer. Ms Atkinson gave evidence she communicated with Ms Patterson over several days in earlier August amid a public health probe into the poisoning. Text messages and calls between the pair showed the public health officer attempting to narrow down the location of the store. Dr Rogers suggested Ms Patterson was 'very familiar' with the area, owning a home in Mount Waverley and having previously worked for Monash City Council. The accused woman disputed this, but did say she was familiar with the adjoining areas of Glen Waverley, Oakleigh and Clayton. Dr Rogers suggested Ms Patterson was 'deliberately vague' about the location of the Asian grocer because it was a lie. 'Incorrect,' Ms Patterson responded. 'I was doing my best to remember when it happened, but I think I was clear at all times that I didn't have a memory of the actual purchase.' The trial, now in its seventh week, continues.
