It was only when I clicked the "payment" button on a hard-gained hotel reservation for a weekend in Fukuoka, gateway to Japan's western main island of Kyushu, that I noticed the small print: "We are an unmanned business hotel."Unmanned? I had missed that little word. I wasn't even sure what "unmanned" really meant. And anyway, in this gender-sensitive day and age, shouldn't it be "unpersonned"? And did this mean NO human staff at all? Would there be anyone to help with luggage or check-in problems?

BANGKOK -- Intense fighting in Myanmar's Rakhine state between the military regime and the Arakan Army (AA) ethnic armed group has dealt a further setback to the country's military rulers. It has also fueled concerns about mass displacement and the destruction of dwellings amid spiraling communal tensions between ethnic Rakhine and Rohingya.

BANGKOK -- Moves by Thailand and Japan to engage with Myanmar's resistance indicate a shift in policies that previously favored Naypyitaw's military regime and excluded key resistance organizations such as the parallel National Unity Government. These include a growing crackdown on Thai involvement in supplying and supporting scam centers run by Chinese and local criminal groups inside Myanmar's Karen state, near the Thai-Myanmar border.
