Is street food good for you? Old rancid oil. Cheap oil. Food dripping with oil.
A bit of roughage never hurt anybody. -

Elderly Man Kills Wife’s Former Lover in Drunken Rage Over Advances
But in the unshareable local online newspaper (BP) they are telling people not to go and spend their 10k handout on booze! I think we need a round-the-clock booze ban until, during and for several weeks after the next election! #pinchofsalt #tongueincheek (for members with smaller brains than keyboards) -

Family Heartbroken as Teen Found Murdered After 5 Days Missing
Perhaps, but he is still just a kid. My understanding is that the worst that happens is that he gets locked up until age 21. He can go to a juvenile prison/education facility where he will terrorize the other kids. -

White Culture
Not just the people but the country and its culture as a whole. Nobody came here originally because they thought this place was a clone of their home country, Yet so many wish to change it into exactly that once they realise that they are not that comfortable here Look at how many foreigners were fawning over "Pita" and the MFP desperately hoping that electing him would bring Thailand "into the 21st century" and align it more closely with "the west" convinced in their narrow minds that they know what is best, Some unbelievably even telling their wives how to vote -

No good for fat western snowflakes. But us tougher farangs along with the tough Thais, not only is all that oil a good source of energy but the rancid stuff builds up your immune system. Half the kids in the nanny state west can’t even eat a peanut theses days without having a seizure. -

Whether it tastes good is a different issue from weather it's healthy. Hygiene is poor with dishes washed in big buckets of dirty water and vegetables not adequately washed before they're cooked, the oil is often bought used from places like McDonald's, fruits and vegetables are steeped in pesticides, most dishes are loaded up with sugar and salt, the meat is left out in the heat unrefrigrated, You have to be very careful when buying street food. -

Rising Baht Sparks Fears of Another 'Tom Yam Kung' Crisis
Quote: "A 10% increase in the baht’s exchange rate combined with a 10% decrease in the dollar will raise production costs by 20%." Poor English. "Production costs" should read "export price of domestically manufactured goods". -

Israel and Hezbollah Exchange Blows in Pre-emptive Strikes and Retaliatory Attacks
It is sort of funny watching this anti Israel /pro Hamas guy twist himself in knots. He loves his Trump and anything Trump says. The thing is Trump has recommended that "Iran be blown to smithereens". See 3.39. My interpretation is that the hatred of Israel outweighs love for Trump. 🤭 -

EEC housing market crashes: It’s a real estate shake-up
Sales of residential units in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) have taken a nosedive, particularly near industrial estates, following a wave of factory closures. Vichai Viratkapan, acting director-general of the Real Estate Information Center (REIC), pointed the finger at the shuttering of large factories since last year, which has severely impacted housing demand in Chon Buri and Rayong. “New sales of condos and townhouses in industrial zones have fallen for two consecutive quarters, from the first to the second quarter of this year.” In the second quarter of 2024, new residential unit sales across Chon Buri, Rayong, and Chachoengsao totalled just 5,132 units, valued at 16.8 billion baht, the lowest figures recorded since REIC began its quarterly surveys in early 2022. This represents a sharp decline from 6,563 units worth 21.7 billion baht in the first quarter, and 7,872 units worth 25.8 billion baht in the fourth quarter of 2023, which was the highest since early 2022. By category, low-rise housing in Rayong faces the longest sell-out timeframe, projected at 29 months, assuming no new supply hits the market, thanks to a surplus of stock. This trend is particularly pronounced in the 2-3 million baht price range, especially in areas like Nikhom Amata City-Eastern, Nikhom Hemaraj, and Nikhom Map Ta Phut. Nikhom Amata City-Eastern holds the largest supply of low-rise homes with 1,426 units available, but only 116 units were sold in the second quarter, resulting in a dismal absorption rate of 2.7% and an estimated 33.9 months to sell out. Similarly, Nikhom Hemaraj and Nikhom Map Ta Phut had supplies of 1,093 and 1,065 units respectively, yet only 93 and 80 units were sold in the same period. Chon Buri also mirrored this trend, with the largest inventory of low-rise homes priced between 2-3 million baht located near industrial estates. Notably, areas like Nikhom Pan Thong-Phanat Nikhom boasted 1,147 units, while Nikhom Amata Nakorn-Bypass had 1,119 units—but sales were just 129 and 84 units respectively in the second quarter. The first half of 2024 has seen housing demand in the EEC dwindle, contrasting sharply with year-on-year price index increases of 3.3% and 8.3% for vacant land, fuelled by a surge of Chinese investors entering the electric vehicle sector, said Premsorn Sriviboonchai, managing director of Rayong-based developer VP Real Estate Property Development. “The arrival of big names like BYD and Changan in Rayong hasn’t sparked a housing demand boost because they rely heavily on automation.” by Bob Scott Bob Picture courtesy of WHA Industrial Development Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-09-30 -

Campaigners Urge Handout Recipients to Avoid Alcohol Amid Payout Uncertainty
The politicians more than likely know exactly where the majority of this money will be spent and, if they were smart, made preparations to make investments in or setup business to take advantage of this influx of cash into the economy. The gap between rich and poor is huge here and ever widening in most parts of the world. The rich here run the country as is the case in the majority of world societies.
