Dengue Fever Cases Climb To 5,000-6,000 A Week
Sounds like that joke "If you take this medicine, you can be cured in a week. If you don't, it will take 7 days..." I've had dengue twice. No picnic. I just rode it out

Biggest Sex for Sale website shut down by police unit in early morning raid targeting foreigners
Decades ago a psychological experiment was done with chimps and tokens to see if they could adapt to a "money economy" to buy food, etc. They could. Also, one clever female set herself up as a prostitute, made lots of tokens. I am not making this up...

‘Biased.’ ‘Corrupt.’ ‘Deranged.’ Trump’s Taunts Test Limits of Release.
Start by locking him up over a weekend, maybe? This seems like something similar to reasonable parents setting boundaries with an out of control tantrumming brat. He does need a time out at the very least. "A rule that is not enforced ceases to be a rule." If the judge is to have any credibility and control, Trump needs to be locked up. He was warned

Tourist Police Explain "Skateboard Incident" at Don Mueang airport
This is the one time (only one?) I have seen 3 Thais and 1 foreigner where the confrontation is 1 on 1 and the other 2 Thais just stand by and watch. I suppose would have wrinkled up their spiffy uniforms if all 3 rushed and rightfully dumped him on his backside

Pattaya motorbike operators told to monitor renters from Middle East
WTH does "a strict eye" mean? They rent the bikes out and probably don't see the renters for days or weeks until they return the bike, right? Do wish the rental firms told police "You keep a 'strict eye' on them. They're you're responsibility after they leave our lot."

Pence and Trump lawyer share opposite stories of what ex-president said ahead of January 6
"...only wanted the former vice president to “pause” the certification of votes to allow states to investigate his claims of election fraud." There is no provision in the Constitution to "pause" the counting of electoral votes that had been certified by the various states. The very concept of "pause" is moronic. All the court cases concerning vote fraud had been settled, and Trump won none of them. His own AG said there was no fraud; his own investigators said no fraud. So why pause? Remember Trump told Pence he was "too honest" I can't imagine anyone accusing Trump of being "too honest" or even just "honest"

Bangkok is the world’s most visited city this year
How do they collect data? If France has 90 million visitors, how many of those are from neighboring countries that do not require any sort of border/passport check? How many that go to France skip Paris? How many skip Bangkok that come to Thailand? How many are not tourists but retirees, etc? Where do the numbers come from and are they a valid reflection of reality?

Opinion Editorial: No, It Isn’t Time to Worry About RETIREMENT VISA Changes….Yet
How about a "crackdown" on the criminal agents who are able to make the deposit/income requirement disappear (fraud) and the enabling Thai immigration officers (collusion), and those who finance these crimes and lawlessness, the farangs who pay for the enterprise

Crime-cracking capers: ECD raids warehouse, nabs Chinese owner, seizes 100,000 tax avoided treasures in Bangkok
Treasures? les' see 10,000,000 total value 100,000 number of items = each of those "treasures" worth 100 baht each, altho I suppose if you had enough empty beer bottles that could also qualify as "treasure"

Ashton Asok Buyers Entitled to Refunds
"....state agencies did not perform in accordance with their duties. She added that this allowed the property developer to proceed with an illegal project,..." Okay, so the developer thought the project was legal, which is reasonable. "We shouldn't have permitted this project, so now you must tear it down and refund money"? Seems the state agencies are the ones who should have to pay up.... I know, brown envelope confusion and all that....

Pattaya Man Fined 1,000 Baht for Punching South Korean Live Streamer, Live Streamer Fined As Well
You'd think the charges would go down per punch: the fifth punch wouldn't give the same level of satisfaction as punch #1. Some sort of logarithmic scale....
