Cheap vlogging cams
That DJI Osmo Pocket 3, does appeal to me but in the next post you mention that audio is important, which I underline, but then the question arises is the audio not sufficient from the DJI?

Russian Father Throws Son from Speedboat Near Surin Islands, Leading to Fatality
I am sorry but as you point out, a pool or from a sailing boat is a big difference. And I call it ‘brainless’ to do that act so impulsively, no leniency from me for the Russian.

Do you remember your first car?
Maybe someone can help me with the make of the car, it had one of those half globes on the front, it was somewhere between 1965 and 1968. After that car I remember the next one, it was a Morris Mini Van.

British Man Arrested in Thailand for 20-Year-Old UK Murder Case
Although I have lived with a Thai woman for over 15 years, I can confirm what you have observed; apart from being a completely different culture, I also feel that 'love' is experienced differently by the Thais than it is by us Westerners.

Mistake? Surely you don't throw your son overboard for fun. I won't be surprised if there is more behind it.

Oh, how about Philips?

Post office stupidity.
It happened to me a few years ago, a visitor here in Thailand had forgotten her watch and asked me to send it back to Canada. Refused, it had a battery in it. They are not always the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Buying a new car.........you'd think it was easy
I have noticed before that car salesmen here in Thailand know little to nothing about the product they are selling, for the same salary they work at Lotus or the like. The Toyota dealer who wouldn't let me test-drive the car was in Thayang, so I drove to another one in Cha-am, where I got the same answer, except that the saleswoman had one of these models herself and was inclined to let me test-drive it.

Buying a new car.........you'd think it was easy
Recently I also wanted to sell my Isuzu MU-X and buy a smaller model, was interested in Honda or Toyota Corolla Cross, went to Honda first, nice sales lady showed me the model I was looking she show me inside and outside and also let me test drive it. Then to Toyota, well I was quickly done there, sorry sir, since Corona a test drive is no longer possible.... Huh, no longer possible? Then how can I judge this car, "sorry sir....." NO, not sorry, but stupid!" and then I left the showroom. Is this common at Toyota now?

There are no crumple zones in the middle of a car, but maybe an idea for cars used in LOS.

Collision in Lopburi: Multiple Injuries as Pickup Swerves to Avoid Car
This is apparently very difficult in LOS. This has been a big problem for many years, but the government seems to think otherwise.

Lazada - No Banking App payment anymore?
It is not all cake and egg with Lazada, I regularly order some things there but if an item is returned it is difficult to get your money back, yes I know you get it in your ‘Wallet’ but the strange thing is that you cannot use that credit on a subsequent order. Another problem is, which applies to me now, you order something and 10 days later it is cancelled without giving any reason, then you can order it again, and again after 10 days it is cancelled again, have ordered it for the third time now, but I can't exactly call it customer-friendly.

Toxic air crisis: 70 provinces choked by dangerous dust levels
For the record, it is mentioned here that 'dust' naturally gives dust in the lungs, 'dust lungs' is not good either, but that is different from what I understand air pollution to be. This has been on my mind for a long time, because after moving from Phuket to the Thayang area of Phetchaburi province, I have been wondering for a long time 'what air pollution', as there is no polluting industry at all in my area, and road traffic is also nil. But when I look around, the air is indeed cloudy, and now I realise it is dust.

French mafia chaos: Phuket residents slam tourists’ alley blockade - video
This is also true, but as I have experienced before the island is packed. Last year I was there to show my grandchildren Wat Chalong and Big Budha, they stayed at Mariott not far from the airport, one big traffic jam from there to What Chalong.
