Pattaya's CCTV Catches Litterbugs: Fines and Cleanup Ordered
Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed... my informal survey from living here for a couple of decades is that it is Thais who do most of the dumping.

Woman Duped by Younger Man Who Stole Cash & Gold
file this in the "man bites dog" slot. as for " Is you life so miserable, that you have to look down on Thai women again?" well... fairly common for some farang being hoodwinked by some young lovely here. If you don't know one, you must have a small circle of acquaintances... Not all Thai women. Just more than enough.

North Korea Praises Thailand-Cambodia Ceasefire Agreement
Maybe that will encourage N Korea to finally sign a peace agreement with the S Korea.... it's been a while, ya think?

Thaksin Donates 1m Baht: Boosts Border Cops' Morale
I do wonder about how it will be "divied up" (do people still use that term?)... But they are risking their lives already for whatever meager cash army gives them. The bonus from Toni is between 1000 and 100 they wouldn't get otherwise....

I thought the story might be that they completed their whole set. RIP

Netanyahu Pushes for Military Action to Free Hostages
Um... "military action to free hostages"? What have they been doing? Does this mean less focus on genocide?

Worker Crushed to Death After Napping Under Pile Driver
I'd say this is tops so far this year for Darwin Award. Even worse than typical nap on railroad tracks...

Drunken Foreign Couple Caught Rocking Pattaya Baht Bus
Used to be common enough back before Pattaya became such a family attraction...

Gishlaine Maxwell Moved to Low-Security Prison in Texas
Those animals raped more than 1000 girls. I question what sort of morals you have to suggest 5 years appropriate. "The sentence was obscenely harsh for hiring prostitutes, some of which later turned out to be underage." They frickin knew they were underage. SO did you hero Trump. It didn't "turn out". Sorry, but your view I find disgusting and reprehensible.

Pattaya Residents Despair as Road Project Hits Year Four
I live right off 2nd road, the pipe work is right alone condo property line. I have been watching them waste time (I won't call it work) for five years. Here is a shot from early July. I also had the joy of watching them build 2nd road. "Someday son, this project will be yours...."

Pattaya Gridlock Sparks Urgent Transport Solutions
Like Yogi Berra said "Nobody goes there anymore. It's always too crowded". Been living here 20+ years. My brain jerk reaction when seeing new condos going up with big sign "EIA Approved" is 'I am sure they don't consider the environmental impact on highways and crowding...."

Pattaya Police Triumph in Regional Training Competition
Lots of free time to drill as they don't seem to bother with patrols and such

Pattaya Introduces Health Charter to Transform City’s Image
If there was genuine concern about health, the powers that be would focus on air pollution "Air: everyone breathes". I check IQair every day in some sort of masochistic ritual and often the air here is worse that in Bangkok, which wouldn't seem easy as half of the metro area is sea water, if one drew a circle...

Austrians Set to Flock to Pattaya as Mayor Lures Euro Tourists
Some sort of schnitzel shortage happening in Austria? Run out of Vienna sausage? An attraction of Thailand is real Thai food.... promoted to most countries I'd assume. Is there some tourist promo in Austria "Get the same schnitzel you get back home!"?

Thailand Advances Jomtien Beach Sand Replenishment Phase 2
Maybe need to be more specific on just who bears the cost (the taxpayers) and who gains the benefit (kick backs anyone?). Waste of time and money for the entire civic ecosystem, but of great benefit for those inside players.

Powell puts what is best for economy in the long term first Trump puts whatever he thinks will boost him, the heck with long term, first True here, true with just about everything Trump touches

US Welcomes Qatari Gift: Fiery Debate Over New Air Force One
On the bright side, Trump is old and out of shape. He may be gone before the plane is ready

Pattaya Brawl: Tourist Injured in Clash with Ladyboy and Drivers
"Motorbike taxi drivers, stationed nearby, intervened in an attempt to calm the situation." That's got to be a first, ya think?

Trump's Fiery Warning: US Ready to Hit Iran’s Nuke Sites Again

Thai Senator Faces Jail for False Professor Title in Election Bid
Just what/where is "California University"? "Cal" usually refers to U of California Berkley... University of California Los Angeles" (UCLA) doesn't qualify? "University of Southern California (USC)" the same? Then there are spots like "UC Davis"... If she went to Stanford... nope. "I hit Google AI for what makes a professor in Thailand and it spit out this (minus "vibrant") In Thailand, the title of "Professor" (ศาสตราจารย์ - sàatrǎa-jaan) at a university is generally attained through a combination of academic achievements, teaching experience, and research contributions. Typically, one must hold a doctoral degree (PhD) and have a distinguished record of teaching and scholarly work within their field".hmmm went on to say sometimes a master's degree is enough But I prefer Phd: "Piled Higher Deeper" This going after her reminds me of when PM was deposed for having a cooking show.

Bangkok Delivery Rider Caught with Trump-Impressed Ecstasy
Maybe the Maga crowd will share from their warehouses... at a hefty markup, of course

Pattaya Security Guard Assaulted While Breaking Up Dispute Between Thai Woman & Foreigner
It does appear hotels aren't getting ID's for lady "visitors" like used to be required. Couple of assaults in last week or so. Maybe it is time to bring back mandatory ID recording...

Japanese Tourist Issues Warning After Attempted Theft by Transgender in Pattaya
I'd say Japanese are the least "street smart" nationality, living in a safe country and all. Hope that explains why this naive moron was out by himself in sleezeville at 4:40 in the frickin' morning.
