KUSA KON — Chaos spread through Thailand’s agricultural heartland Monday as the global AWS outage crippled the nation’s new “Smart Buffalo” program, leaving thousands of cloud-connected bovines unresponsive in the field. Farmers reported herds freezing mid-plow, rebooting during feeding time, or wandering off to search for Wi-Fi. “It keeps showing the spinning circle, then just stares at me,” said Somchai Phromma, 47, who bought his Bluetooth-enabled buffalo under a government subsidy promising “precision grazing.” Engineers advised owners to download a new temporary version of the software and re-pairing it through an app that was also down. The Ministry of Digital Economy urged calm, assuring citizens that “critical buffalo systems” would be restored once AWS recovered. Critics said the outage exposed Thailand’s dangerous dependence on cloud livestock infrastructure, noting that even traditional mating cycles were delayed due to “server synchronization errors.” At press time, tens-of-thousands of overseas Farang boyfriends were sending payments to upcountry farmsteads after receiving Line messages claiming, “buffalo sick, no work”.
