  "summary": "The USS Abraham Lincoln, a 5,000-strong US aircraft carrier, departed from Thailand on Sunday following a five-day port call in Pattaya, just north of Bangkok. The ship docked for rest and recreation after a nine-month deployment in the Middle East, where concerns had been raised about deteriorating living conditions. The arrival of the USS Lincoln was met with increased security measures in Pattaya, known for its beaches, nightlife, and seedy reputation as a hub for sex tourism. Despite some minor incidents, such as a drunken altercation between US sailors, the port call concluded without major disruptions. Local businesses, including Pattaya Mayor Poramase Ngampiches, welcomed the visit, estimating the sailors spent up to 100 million baht ($3 million) during their stay, with additional revenue generated from the sale of supplies to the ship.",
