I'm looking for details on the use of the HK33A2 rifle in Thailand, especially clear close-up photos of the Thai language markings on the selector. Anyone? Many thanks!

Do you know the Thai words for "safe", "single shot", and "full automatic" and can transcribe them?
Many thanks!

This is excellent -- the translation of the English terms into Thai. However, the final thing I'll need now is a transcription (the Thai words spelled using Latin letters, not Thai letters) -- because I can't read those Thai letters ;) Many thanks!

[B][SIZE="4"]Cambodia claims border violated[/SIZE][/B]
By: AFP
Published: 25/03/2009 at 07:56 PM
[B]Cambodia claimed that around 100 Thai troops briefly entered Cambodian territory on Wednesday near the Phra Viharn temple but Thailand immediately denied it and said such action was impossible.[/B]
[B]Thai soldiers stand guard close to Preah Vihear temple during last year's tense stand-off with Cambodian troops. Around 100 Thai troops briefly entered Cambodian territory on Wednesday near a disputed border temple where a deadly gunbattle broke out last year, Cambodian officials told AFP.
A Thai military spokesman said that there are only a few soldiers in the disputed area where troops from both sides have been posted since the clashes in October.[/B]
"There are nearly 100 armed Thai troops - fighting troops - who violated about one kilometre (just over half a mile) into Cambodian territory," Cambodian government cabinet spokesman Phay Siphan claimed.
The Thai soldiers crossed into Cambodia about two kilometres away from the ancient Preah Vihear temple at about 1:45 pm (0645 GMT), he said.
The spokesman and the Cambodian military later said the Thai troops pulled back from the area after talks between Cambodian and Thai commanders.
"They withdrew from the area at around 5:00 pm (1000 GMT). There was no clash during the confrontation," commander Yim Pim said.
[B]During the brief standoff, a Cambodian soldier stationed at the temple told AFP by telephone that the situation was "hot and all Cambodian troops are fully alert and prepared."[/B]
Tensions over the long-disputed territory flared in July last year after the 11th century temple was granted United Nations world heritage status. Soldiers clashed in the area in October, leaving four troops dead.
Subsequent talks between Cambodia and Thailand have not led to a resolution of the dispute.
[B]"Both Thai and Cambodian soldiers are there in the disputed area and we have not crossed into Cambodia," said Lieutenant General Wiboonsak Neeparn, army commander for northeastern Thailand, in response to the Cambodian claims.
"We have not increased our amount of soldiers at all. We have stayed with the same amount for several months," he told AFP.[/B]
The border between the two countries has never been fully demarcated, in part because it is littered with landmines left over from decades of war in Cambodia.

SPECIAL TO THE NATION
Berlin
Published on February 22, 2009
[B]Two military attach้s - Group Captain Chatchai Boonyanurag of the Air Force and Colonel Jirawat Punsawat of the Army - have been getting to know the diplomatic community in Berlin since last October as newcomers to the Thai Embassy. Chatchai explains that an Air Force committee selects its attach้s from a pool of qualified volunteers - who have to be ready to be posted anywhere in the world.[/B]
"This has always been my career goal," says Chatchai, who by way of preparation studied foreign languages, participated in joint-training exercises with other countries and chose to fly C-130 cargo planes rather than fighter jets.
"I think it's very unlikely we'll see a full-scale war, and in times of peace the cargo planes serve a much more important role. C-130s are included in almost all strategic planning, and I've been able to work on all kinds of assignments."
[B]In the Army, says Jirawat, applicants undergo a tough screening process.
The first son among an Ayutthaya farmer's nine children, Jirawat says the applicants can select the country where they want to work, but they have to show their solid command of English.
Two rounds of interviews follow, one involving their wives. [/B]
Jirawat chose Germany because of the way it rose from the wreckage of two world wars to become the world's fourth-largest economy.
"Germany's about the same size as Thailand, but it has a very good political and social system that, in my opinion, derives from the people," he says.
[B]"I hope to learn about their way of thinking, and bring some useful ideas back home.
"And relations between the German and Thai military have always been very positive - Germany has never threatened our sovereignty." [/B]
In the year before their overseas assignments, military attach้s undergo further military training and learn the ropes of diplomacy through the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
Both Chatchai and Jirawat say their main concern at the outset was the German language. Even though most of their business in Berlin is conducted in English, they took German classes at the Goethe Institut in Bangkok, striving to be fluent.
"It makes for friendlier, more genuine relations," says Jirawat.
Chatchai plans to take more German courses while on duty in Berlin.
Their chief duties are as consultants to the ambassador on military-related matters and as aides-de-camp to visiting members of the royal family.
[B]But another crucial role is burnishing relations with the armed forces of the host country and others that have attach้s stationed in Berlin.[/B]
Evidence of the excellent relations between the Thai and German military, says Chatchai, is seen in the number of scholarships that Berlin awards Thai soldiers.
[B]"We don't have joint-training sessions with the Germans, like we have Cobra Gold with the US, but Thailand is allotted five scholarships a year for the military academy here, which is very high among Asian nations."
There are currently nearly 50 Thai soldiers studying in Germany, at all levels - from military academy to general-staff college. [/B]
Chatchai believes this demonstrates the Germans' recognition of Thai soldiers' readiness and potential.
[B]"Strategically, they would want to have friends in Asia who can speak their language and understand their culture, and are capable of learning and exchanging plans and ideas."[/B]
It's crucial, Chatchai says, to continue strengthening these already stout bonds.
"Every country is trying to boost its role - staying put is the same as moving backward."
Interpersonal skills are vital in building trust and understanding between countries.
[B]The attach้s have another duty, Chatchai says - intelligence gathering.
"But it's nothing to do with spying, as some people might misunderstand," he adds.
"It's simply a matter of learning about Germans, trying to understand how they think and how they would react to a given situation." [/B]
He'd like to be more assertive in gathering this kind of knowledge, he says, but nothing is worth risking an international misunderstanding.
Chatchai and Jirawat will serve in Berlin for three years and then expect to return home and continue their military careers.
[B]Asked about his next career goal, Chatchai smiled broadly. "Anything more than this would already be a bonus!"[/B]

V-150 model carrier mortar 81mm but didn't have mortar. :) In picture it's carrier soldier instead of mortar.rofl
