The sinking of a prototype aquatic weed-collecting boat in Lampang has gone viral on social media, as local residents claimed that the boat had never been put into actual use.The vessel was the result of a Royal Irrigation Department (RID) project to commission a prototype boat for collecting floating aquatic weeds, through an electronic bidding process with a total contract value of 76.84 million baht. On December 19, 2023, officials from the department's Kiu Lom-Kiu Kho Ma water delivery and maintenance project underwent training on the boat’s operational system. This activity was also publicised on the agency’s official website. Following the online uproar, Nipon Sriwilai, senior irrigation engineer, took the press to view the sunken boat on Monday. The site of the sinking is near Sampao Thong Village in Chae Hom district. The boat was found to be covered in mud, having been submerged for an extended period. The current low water levels at the dam have made the boat’s condition clearly visible. Nipon explained that the prototype boat was developed to tackle the dense aquatic weed problem in the Kiu Lom and Kiu Kho Ma dams. The RID’s Office of Research and Development brought the vessel in for trial weed-collection operations at Kiu Lom Dam in December 2023. He confirmed that the office had planned to hand over the boat to the Kiu Lom Dam authority, pending a thorough inspection by the dam director prior to formal acceptance. However, on September 21, 2024, the area experienced heavy rainfall and strong winds. As a result, the boat was later found submerged in the dam. The incident was reported to both the RID’s Office of Research and Development and the private company involved. At first, we intended to retrieve the boat immediately, but the murky water made it impossible to locate. So we agreed to wait until the water level dropped, Nipon said. Once the water receded, we notified the relevant departments and jointly inspected the site — but it ended up making the news before that process was complete. Regarding the cause of the sinking, Nipon said it remains under investigation by the responsible authorities. He noted that the day the boat sank, the area was experiencing severe weather conditions. At the time, staff were also focused on monitoring water discharge from the dam, as Lampang province was experiencing major flooding. Visually assessing the condition, Nipon expressed hope that the boat could likely be repaired and returned to operational status.

LAist is part of Southern California Public Radio, a member-supported public media network. For many bands, finding a unique sound comes from years of trial and error. "I was working there for a while and I was able to convince the managers there to give me a jazz night," Baker told LAist's AirTalk. "They were asking for jazz at the time, but really I wanted to start a more Latin-influenced band." So Baker just didn't bring his drum kit one day. A strategic omission? Perhaps. Who could say for certain? But Baker and his bandmates — guitarist Zac Sokolow and bassist Jake Faulkner all born and raised in Los Angeles — point to that decision as the beginning of their journey to discovering a unique and quintessentially L.A. sound. The band combines the rhythms of traditional cumbia and Mexican boleros with the reverb and guitar twang of 50s and 60s rock and soul ballads. View this post on Instagram A post shared by LA LOM (@the_lalom) Following the August release of their debut album The Los Angeles League of Musicians, and ahead of their upcoming tour, the boys of LA LOM sat down with LAist's AirTalk host Larry Mantle to talk about finding their sound, their musical influences and their success in the local and national music scene. Faulkner, Sokolow and Baker all point to musical upbringings as the main influence for their sound. Sokolow grew up playing with his dad, a well-known musician in L.A.'s bluegrass scene. Faulkner comes from a family of artists in Venice. "Me and Jake have known each other since we were about 15 or so. We grew up playing a lot of rockabilly and country music together," said Sokolow. Baker, meanwhile, draws his musical influence from his grandmother, who came from a musical family in Durango, Mexico and became a prominent DJ on Spanish language radio in Tucson, Arizona. "My grandma and Zac's grandpa are from Latin America, and I think us being inspired by their music growing up has influenced our music as well, so it's just wanting to emulate something familiar," said Baker. When the three got together as a trio in their early days at the Roosevelt, they played covers of 60s soul ballads they grew up listening to on radio stations like K-EARTH 101. But as more people started showing up to the Roosevelt to hear them play and dance to the music of their childhood, Sokolow says it was then that they started experimenting. "We started playing cumbia, and a lot of the first cumbia we played was based on the Peruvian cumbia style...where the electric guitar is playing the melody as opposed to the accordion-led cumbia of Colombia," said Sokolow. "We all found that we all had that in common that we really love that music and...we started playing those songs and...especially with the Mexican boleros, people were resonating with that and a lot of people said oh, I grew up listening to that music with my grandparents." It was at this intersection of the 60s rock and soul ballads and the cumbia and bolero music they all grew up listening to that LA LOM found their completely unique sound. Their song "Rebecca" off their debut album is a clear homage to those ballads — Baker gently dusts his drums with brush-style sticks while Faulkner's deliberate bass line and Sokolow's vintage guitar licks would make you swear you're slow dancing at the sock hop in 1965 or sharing a milkshake with two straws at the soda shop. Other tracks from their new album like "San Fernando Rose," "Moonlight Over Montebello" and "Ghosts of Gardena" pay homage to iconic L.A. neighborhoods and locations and show their dedication to the cumbia and boleros that raised them. Close your eyes and listen to their song "Figueroa" and it's hard not to imagine yourself cruising down the renowned Highland Park street in a convertible with the top down on a warm summer night. And while they're breaking ground recently with original music, it's been some of the covers that brought them early attention. The video of their version of Fito Olivares' "Juana la Cubana" has more than a million views on YouTube and remains a staple of their live sets. And it's often these covers that help connect multiple generations. "My favorite thing to see is...for example, at the Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix, somebody brought their whole family — kids all the way through the grandmother who came on stage and danced 'Juana la Cubana' with us," said Faulkner. While some musicians try to channel someone influential in the way they play, LA LOM says they aren't really trying to replicate anyone's sound. "When we do our covers, I'm always just imitating the melody of what's often an accordion or sometimes a saxophone or a synthesizer," Sokolow explained. "I don't know, I guess I'm not really channeling any particular guitar players. I'm just thinking about the melody and playing in my own style." "I think a lot of the sound is based off us being a trio, primarily," added Baker. "So it pushes you to fill in space in a certain way. I play multiple percussion instruments at the same time and Zach's trying to fill in all these different parts, and Jake's holding it down on the bass. It creates this trifecta of sound." There's a famous quote from NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, who was known for not only his otherworldly athletic ability but also his flashy outfits: "If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you play good, they pay good." And while LA LOM probably wasn't drawing directly on Sanders' advice when finding their look, they knew that getting it right on stage and in their videos was key to drawing eyeballs. They point to not just their look as a band, but the vintage look of their videos as something that's helped people discover them. And when you watch them it's pretty clear — they look good, they feel good and they play good.

A popular track from LA LOM’s debut album released earlier last month “Danza de LA LOM” is a twanged-out and stylized creation that tips a hat to “La Danza Del Petrolero” by Los Wembler’s de lquitos and “La Danza De Los Mirlos” by Los Mirlos The group continued to masterfully serenade the house with other tracks off of their debut album like “Ghosts of Gardena,” “Angels Point,” “Figueroa” and even “Malavilla” much later in their set all of which Sokolow said they named after streets and neighborhoods in their beloved hometown of Los Angeles Before diving into a cover of “Arriba Pichataro” for a shoutout to Michoacán Sokolow told the crowd a lot of the music that the band loves comes from Mexico Faulkner took the black paisley bandana that hung neatly from his back pocket and began waving it towards Sokolow during his solo much like a matador waving its flag at an angry bull The band members played off of each other’s energy like this throughout the evening LA LOM’s performance was also filmed in its entirety by their personal production team which likely gave the group an added spur to put on such a spirited show “A lot of the music that we love also comes from Texas,” Sokolow shouted into his mic before launching into a cover of Selena Quintanilla’s “Como La Flor.” Although LA LOM is a strictly instrumental band San Antonians were more than happy to fill in the lyrics for them spinning and twisting their hips like Selena along the way After a few more tracks like “Los Sabanales” and “Rebecca,” the band closed out their set with a heavily anticipated cover of “Juana La Cubana.” LA LOM’s rendering of the Fito Olivares classic has garnered over a million views on both YouTube and Instagram it didn’t take long before the crowd started chanting “O-tra The trio soon swaggered back on stage for an encore, bringing their special guests Radio Malilla a young group of cumbia up-and-comers from the Ciudad Juárez-El Paso border or “slowed down,” cumbia-fied cover of country number “Sixteen Tons” which was adored by the audience The bands also played a fiery version of “Folsom Prison Blues” which Sokolow croaked along to in Spanish Part of the encore set included a candied rendition of Bobby Pulido’s “Desvelado.” LA LOM effortlessly transformed each song into their own with a carefully customized The entire performance was a playful ode to how the group came to be A showcase of LA LOM’s roots in appreciation and honor for the music of Peruvian chicha LA LOM will be on tour across the West Coast through October before heading to Europe in November. The band will return to play shows across the Eastern U.S. in December.

enthralling performances they've enchanted listeners and have swiftly amassed a loyal fanbase For more information about LA LOM, check out their website and their Instagram JAKE: And I'm Jake and I'm the bass player Thank you so much for coming by KALW today Like less than an hour at Union Square for the SF live event you played Bimbo’s 365 last night and tonight you're also there since we've pretty much been on the road since February can you tell us a little bit about the origins of LA LOM for those of you that are folks that are listening right now and might not know how you guys got started and the origins of everything historic hotel in LA called the Roosevelt and um NICK: Jake and I went to college together and um I wanted to do something that wasn't jazz and uh and I wanted to combine that with the Latin sound And that's kind of how we came across our sound in a short version MARCUS: Did you guys have experience playing or just kind of experimented as you went with the new music that you wanted to get into so we really just had a lot of time to experiment with our sounds and different songs and covers and old school boleros and the first music that I started when I met Nick and we started playing together the first thing I realized we kind of had in common was we were interested in a lot of the classic boleros I had kind of worked out a lot of instrumental versions of classic boleros by Los Ponchos and we started kind of learning covers of um It was danceable a lot like 60s soul kind of tunes and then eventually like cumbia and chicha and then we started making up stuff too It was sort of blending a lot of those different styles NICK: And then as soon as we started seeing people dance up at the shows then we started to do more ticketed shows and people just kept coming and it was kind of this L.A I mean from the origin of it to the journey like like what's the journey been like for y'all we had a while there where we were working the hotel So we started putting together videos and started playing showcase performances as opposed to three hours a night people immediately started showing up and dancing and that really made a difference for us I want to learn actually a little bit more about the name I know LA LOM also is the the abbreviation of the title of your album I lived right next to a street that was called La Loma and then I kind of just like thought of it could stand for the Los Angeles League of Musicians and we're all from LA It was kind of a rotating group of whoever was available for that for that gig we had at the Roosevelt Hotel like six or seven people that would kind of come in and out It just kind of worked really well and it kind of narrowed down The gig kind of just became mostly us when I think just the natural progression of things How do you approach performing now after putting the record out Like is it like the way you like approaching it I think especially because there's a lot of songs that I know we were just talking before this about how you decide what songs you want to play and things like that I don't think it's pretty particularly different after having put out the record because I think we're sort of always looking to play like the newest things we have possible we look to play those as much as we can so we were playing a lot of those songs that were on the record before we recorded it like playing them live in front of people and we still play a lot of those and we also play new things we're working on like we'll take a piece from something and throw it in with something JAKE: Coming from the three hours of night that we were playing part of our practice is to be improvising the entire show So we have our set list which is a series of recommendations and each night will be a little bit different or a lot different depending on where music kind of takes us so if you're coming to the the show of Bimbo’s tonight and you were at the one last night it'll probably be an entirely different set MARCUS: You there you've heard it first right here on KALW They're playing tonight at Bimbo’s in San Francisco So if you went last night and you've got tickets for tonight I think uh early on when we were playing together like three hours a night like while we were playing at a hotel or in front of dancers or whatever it was especially when there's just really good energy in the room and that's when a lot of the best ideas happen if I'm just in a hotel room or green room or whatever just kind of have a little bit of time off I think making most of your time with just the soundcheck it is like a really awesome and organic way of getting ideas out I like to ask this question - is there anybody on your wish list of collaborators for the future somebody you want to collaborate in the future JAKE: My number one would for this question is always Rosalia there's a group called Grupo Kual that we've covered a few of their songs and it'd be really cool to do something with them MARCUS: What other cities do you have coming up that are listening right now would love to know where you guys are going to be playing in the future I think the next thing after this whole California run is and then we're all over Europe for a couple of weeks JAKE: Then we do a Nashville to New York run in December Any forthcoming projects or anything like that you can let the world know about maybe and we'll be recording it in the months to come And where can folks find you on the interwebs and social media NICK: Pretty much everywhere, at the LA LOM, usually @the_LALOM And so they'll be at Union Square in a bit performing at SF Live with a huge lineup of amazing artists And they’ll be at Bimbo's 365 tonight in San Francisco Is there anything else you'd like to share with KALW and the listeners in San Francisco JAKE: Just how grateful we are that you're listening to us and enjoying the wonderful airwaves Thank you so much again for coming by KALW I'm going to get into one of your songs from your last record Friday 12/6 at The Southern Café and Music Hall an acronym for the Los Angeles League of Musicians floats out a dreamy-yet-driving instrumental soundtrack with West Coast cool the band’s sound careens smoothly through adventurous succinct tracks that lilt with well-placed heartbreaking chords and trembling guitar riffs Zac Sokolow’s lyrical lead guitar—reminiscent of Link Wray’s more lucid solos and a dry land Dick Dale—call to mind the best strains of sad ’60s pop ballads syncopated bass line color provided by Jake Faulkner is offset by the danceable heat from Nicholas Baker’s economical drum and percussion-based beats Baker often opts for replacing the typical snare drum spot with conga hits while kicking the bass drum and riding the hi-hat for an undulating groove It makes sense that LA LOM formed in 2019 for a nightly residency in L.A.’s Roosevelt Hotel lobby Each song moves forward by constructing new scenes deftly lit and advancing on a road mapped out by Latin music influences (Mexican boleros leading to a distinctly SoCal simmer that carries the cinematic history and intrigue of the Roosevelt’s

like cumbia and bolero, with a touch of country twang and retro soul. The LA natives formed the band, formally known as the Los Angeles League of Musicians, in 2019. Their debut album comes out on August 9 and getting their start in the lobby of the Hollywood Roosevelt The latest single from the upcoming record is called “Danza de LA LOM,” which Sokolow describes as an homage to chicha and cumbia music from Peru in the 1960s and 1970s “That music was a big influence to us when we were starting out and still is really now I think we first got into that music because we're an instrumental trio — it's guitar and bass — and when we started playing cumbia we looked at a lot of that music that was guitar-led because most cumbia is led on the accordion [Peruvian cumbia and chicha] also has this kind of country twang to it.” Sokolow grew up playing rockabilly and hillbilly music from the 1950s he joined his father in performing bluegrass and country While working at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica as a teen which harkens back to the band’s beginnings at the Hollywood Roosevelt where they played in the hotel’s lobby for three hours a night As hotel visitors started taking notice and even dancing including 1960s soul tunes from artists like The Temptations and Smokey Robinson “Our music has this nostalgic feeling [of] this time in Los Angeles from the 1950s or 1960s or maybe it's this imaginary time and doesn't even really exist but there's this feeling of nostalgia to it,” Sokolow says At the recommendation of the band’s percussionist including many small LA bars packed with dancers So that was one of the ways we really started playing cumbia — people showing up and requesting.”  While the band largely doesn’t speak Spanish — Sokolow has a conversational grip on the language — he says the instrumental versions of the music are universal and can resonate with all types of listeners people that speak any language hear it and can connect with it.”  LA LOM pays tribute to Los Angeles by naming songs after streets like “Figueroa” and “Alvarado.” “We actually recorded a lot of our record on Figueroa Street,” Sokolow explains “We usually come up with these instrumentals and we start playing them sometimes even in front of people before they really have a name And then we'll often think of what it reminds us of which is often a place or street name in LA.” When I travel around and go on tour … I just start to miss LA a lot and it's such a beautifully diverse place.”  With escalating conflict involving Israel and Hezbollah officials fear this could lead to a broader Middle East war Aside from his son’s youth basketball squad the Lakers’ new hire has never coached a team Did his relationship with Lebron James make all the difference in his latest job Waymo robotaxis have been cruising LA for about three months Despite concerns about safety and logistics one transit writer says it's only a matter of time before..

been using the adorned space to entertain hotel guests and Angelenos alike. Estevie spent her early teenage years as a singing show contestant. Now, she’s ready to take over the world with her brand of cumbia pop. The band — composed of guitarist Zac Sokolow, bassist Jake Faulkner and percussionist Nicholas Baker — was initially hired to be a part of the hotel’s immersive environment. The bandmates saw the job as just another source of income, but quickly realized it was a great space for the instrumental group to develop and fine-tune their sound. La Lom stands for “Los Angeles League of Musicians” (it’s pronounced “La Loma,” like the bulldozed Chavez Ravine neighborhood that sat where Dodger Stadium is now), a tribute to the city’s influence on their music. The band plays a boisterous blend of Latin music and classic folk, and has released several EPs and covers. On Aug. 9, La Lom will release its self-titled debut album via Verve Records. “When I first joined the gig, I had all these covers in mind to play, which were a lot of ‘60s pop and soul tunes,” said Sokolow. “I worked out arrangements where I was playing the melody on the guitar since there’s no singer.” Sokolow and Faulkner began playing at the Roosevelt in 2018 and were accompanied by a rotating group of musicians for the first few months. Their early performances mostly consisted of mellow yet soulful instrumental covers of Roy Orbison, Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin. After Baker, Faulkner’s college friend, began playing with the duo on a consistent basis, he decided to bring his congas — an instrument he had played since childhood. The introduction of the Cuban hand drum changed everything. “When I was a kid, my dad gave me a Trio Los Panchos album. I learned how to play a lot of those requinto parts when I was just starting on the guitar. So when Nick brought his congas in, we thought, ‘Oh, let’s try some of these out,’” said Sokolow. Experimental pop artist Jean Dawson has recorded much of his music in English. With ‘Divino Desmadre,’ he’s tapping into his love language. As they began to experiment, the vibe at the Roosevelt lobby began to shift. The once chill atmosphere became more uptempo. La Lom started infusing the lively sounds of cumbias and the romantic feel of boleros to its previously melodic, Americana style of music. Coming from families that embraced music and the arts, each member brings various influences to the table. Sokolow grew up playing a lot of country and bluegrass, spending his childhood busking with his fiddle. Baker’s upbringing was full of Latin music — his grandmother is from Durango, Mexico, and was a popular host at a Spanish radio station in Tucson. Faulkner picked up his dad’s guitar and learned everything he could from “stoner beach people” while growing up in Venice. “We noticed that no matter what we’re playing, there was always kind of this cohesiveness. Once it goes through the filter of our instrumentation and the way we play, it always sounds cohesive,” said Faulkner. “It always just sounded like us,” Baker said. “We have a really good idea of what we do and we’re all very clear on what we like and don’t like. We all grew up with a lot of different kinds of music just from different influences around us that we grew up with. So, there’s an open-mindedness.” Their hodgepodge of influences gave way to jazz-like improvisation. Over the course of their three-hour set, they often tried out new chord combinations and incorporated more requinto-style melodies. With each performance, they felt their sonic identity take shape. Hotel guests took notice and began to dance while they played. The three musicians had become the focus of the lobby, rather than just another fixture. “We built up a really good repertoire and started to sound like a real band,” said Faulkner. There were days when the band would travel from gig to gig, sometimes playing around nine hours of music a day. Each set was different. Occasionally they changed the arrangement of a cover song. Other times, their sets would be free-form, or they’d take requests from the crowd. In 2021, they decided to make the band official by releasing a self-titled EP and posting videos of their performances online. One night, they were set to perform at a bar in Atwater Village. They thought of the performance as any other gig, but the size of the crowd begged to differ. They continued making their rounds through L.A.’s nightlife, eventually selling out Zebulon in Frogtown and the Lodge Room in Highland Park. Transcending time periods and genres allows the trio to pull freely from their inspirations and create a sound they find to be uniquely Los Angeles. Almost all of their song titles are dedicated to various regions or locations in Los Angeles. Their initial 2022 EP featured tracks like the smooth, mysterious-sounding “Santee Alley.” “Cafe Tropical” has a calmer, harmonious quality to it. “The music always comes first. We think about what this song makes us feel. What area does it vibe with in L.A.?” said Baker. “The first one that we did like that was ‘Alvarado.’ I remember just thinking it was funny because it reminded me of ‘Corcovado’ [a bossa nova song written by Antônio Carlos Jobim in the 1960s]. I thought it was funny to have our own,” said Sokolow. Beyond tying tracks to areas of the city, they find their sound to be a reflection of the diverse music found in it. “I don’t feel at all like I’m playing somebody else’s music. This is the music of L.A.,” said Baker. Recording its first studio album was a new challenge for La Lom. With the help of producer Elliot Bergman, the band members were able to translate the feeling of their live performances by embracing the studio as an additional instrument. “A lot of these songs came from playing live in front of people. We were able to mess around in the studio more and expand the sound bigger than we perform live,” said Faulkner. “We overdubbed a lot of stuff, so we have an organ and different sound effects. Nick did some additional percussion, and we had some other musicians come in to play piano or steel. It really pushed us along.” Beginning Thursday, La Lom will be opening for Vampire Weekend for four shows across the Southwest, and will spend the remainder of the summer performing at jazz festivals all over the U.S., Canada and the U.K. “We are just doing what we wanna do. It feels kind of inclusive. The people who come to our shows feel like they’re a part of what we’re trying to share with them. We are translating to audiences in a way that a lot of cumbia bands can’t because there’s no language barrier,” said Baker. “It’s just these wonderful melodies and good rhythms,” added Sokolow.

Witness the beauty of Phu Lom Lo in Loei as 200,000 cherry trees paint the mountain pinkThe popular Phu Lom Lo mountain in Loei has turned pink as the wild Himalayan cherry blossoms, or “Thai sakura,” are now in full bloom, covering 90% of the fields. On Wednesday morning, tourists visiting Phu Lom Lo, located within Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park in Loei’s Dan Sai district, were greeted with breathtaking pink scenery created by the cherry blossoms amid the chilly weather. The local weather office reported that temperatures on mountaintops in Loei ranged from 5.5°C to 11°C on Wednesday morning. The Phu Lom Lo area in Tambon Kok Sathon, Dan Sai, is home to approximately 200,000 wild Himalayan cherry trees spread across several fields covering 2,000 rai. The Thai sakura typically bloom fully during January and February each year. Jariyathorn Suhu, director of the Loei Tourism Office, said that 80–90% of the wild Himalayan cherry trees are now in bloom, transforming the mountain into a vast pink wonderland. Phu Lom Lo is accessible via Phitsanulok’s Ban Rong Kla village, situated about 7 kilometres from the mountaintop, with the journey taking approximately 15 minutes. Alternatively, tourists can hire four-wheel-drive vehicles operated by local villagers from the Loei Provincial Administrative Organisation’s tourist service centre, located about 15 kilometres from the mountaintop. Travel from this point takes about 40 minutes.
