After 200 days at sea, US troops allowed to land in Pattaya

The U.S. aircraft carrier 'Abraham Lincoln' has arrived in Thailand after more than 200 days at sea, during which reports emerged of serious issues aboard the ship. The vessel, carrying around 5,000 soldiers, was initially deployed in the Pacific but later moved to the Middle East due to the conflict with Iran. The crew faced significant challenges including supply shortages, clogged toilets, and psychological strain, leading to some incidents where sailors reportedly attempted to jump overboard. Now, the crew will spend five days in Pattaya, a popular tourist destination known for its sex industry, to rest and replenish supplies. They will be transported by bus to Pattaya and nearby areas like Koh Larn, though certain activities such as water sports and cannabis consumption are prohibited.
