Wah one Singaporean tourist had to be helicopter-rescued in South Korea after sneaking into a restricted area. Hope they slap him the 20 million won fine, then next time people think twice, respect rules, don’t make rescuers work so hard and others pay for unnecessary drama lor.

The video explains that Bangkok has hit “extreme danger” heat levels, forcing residents to seek shelter in cooling centres.
