Thailand faces worsening air quality crisis, health warnings issued
Just asked Siri what was the air quality. She said “I am sorry the air quality level is not available in your area. “ 🤣😂 They can’t even lower it with their new calculations. Same every year and nothing but talk about how to fix it.

Looking for Bulk Decorative Pebbles (locally)
Better to just cement and stamp it with a pattern. Easier to walk on, no weeds and easy to keep clean, plus it looks better. I tried a few areas with stones and they just got very dirty and in little piles and dips. Easy to trip over. I’d stick with the grass or go stamped concrete. Good luck

I have been named as a beneficiary in my friends will.
Unfortunately the probate can last for a long time. 2 years for a friend of mine who had a Will done in Thailand. It’s not something that is done very fast here with or without a lawyer. So you will need to wait and see. I suppose you may be able to do a Thai Will, if not already done, for all of your assets to go to your wife. This may help, but this is Thailand and as you know nothing ever goes as planned. Especially if he had a wife or children.

Woman Rescued After Rings Stuck on Swollen Fingers in Pattaya
They were probably the only thing she had that she loved and didn’t want to take them off. Plus I imagine with her situation and mental instability she just couldn’t deal with it properly. Glad she was helped even though she fought it. Hopefully they find a way to give back her rings so she doesn’t lose them.

Experts push for diverse HIV prevention options in Thailand
They need to educate the kids, well and adults. They are so scared to speak about sex it only hurts them. I taught my son about sex because I knew I didn’t want him to have any issues and the school didn’t teach him about it. Even 5 finger Betty. The safest way to go. I certainly don’t want any grandchildren anytime soon. He’s been good and even told me he always uses a condom. Hope so, but at least he knows. Parents must educate their children here. Just can’t count on the system here.

Repeat Thai offender admits to murder, sexual assault of homeless victim
200 years for fraud and theft, but only a couple years for murder. The system here is definitely flawed. This man should have never been let out. RIP to the deceased.

Thief poses as courier, steals Rolex watches worth 615,000 baht
If it sounds too good to be true then be very careful. Sending watches worth 650,000 baht with a courier??? I would have definitely met in person and not let go until the money was transferred.

Pattaya Police Launch Manhunt for Gold Ring Snatcher
They need doors to enter these places. At least they would have a chance at locking it quickly, but no chance with roller doors and hardly any space between the gold and the exit.

Thailand Immigration Arrests Fugitive Chinese National
Well If the dates are correct then I guess they were waiting till he spent most of his money until they decided to catch him. 20+ years is not exactly what you call vigilante.

Truck Plunges 100 Metres into Ravine After Brake Failure, Killing 1 & Injuring 3
I really think that they should do mandatory brake checks every year when they register. This excuse is getting really old. Why can’t they just say nothing until they can confirm what happened. Probably speeding or lap nai.

Phuket Unveils Bold Plan to Slash Food Waste
global leader in environmental stewardship 🤣😂 Not even close! They could feed the homeless or send it to the less fortunate people, open up a cheap store to sell quickly before it’s completely bad. Feed for animals so many options but they won’t do it . Too much effort. Maybe a good time for dumpster diving. They should be fined according to the amount of waste, but that requires someone to check daily. I don’t see much changing, but good luck.

Alarming Formaldehyde Levels Found in E-Cigarette Liquids
Parents, make sure that your children aren’t vaping if they are under 18. Shops, Don’t sell to kids under 18. Why can’t they just educate the kids about the harms of smoking and enforce/ fine those shops and parents that let their children smoke/vape. Sure some kids will do it. It’s always been that way, but it’s insane to me that they won’t do anything about cigarettes, just vapes. I know we are asking a lot from the government and police. If only laws were enforced here.

Bangkok's New Pet Rules: Microchips and Space Restrictions for 200,000 Cats and Dogs
So try to control the owners of the dogs, but leave the soi dogs roaming around. Makes no sense. Sure owners should have their dogs collared and be responsible for any harm done by them, but the stray dogs get to run around barking, biting and chasing cars and motorbikes. They tried to do the spay and neuter here, but didn’t get all of the dogs and now we have 14 roaming our sou with 3-4 new puppies. They are aggressive and kill neighbors cats and try to attack my dog when I’m walking him. I have to carry a stick and if they get in his face with teeth showing they will get a swift stick to the head. No safety concerns whatsoever for the residents and their pets.

Phuket Authorities Crack Down on Unlicensed Jet Skis
Off to the shop for a new paint job and back to work in a couple days. I agree that they should have confiscated them until they were licensed.

Manchester pedophile’s reign ends: Bravery of victims hailed (video)
They should never be released. These sick guys ruined many people’s lives and I’m sure there are more that just don’t want to bring it up publicly. Disgusting men.

Consumer injured by glass in spaghetti at Thai pizza chain
I bit into glass in a piece of tiramisu at a local restaurant. They apologized profusely and didn’t charge for the meal. It happens and the cooks had no idea. It was an accident, but I don’t order the dessert there anymore. And no this was not a cheap chain. It can happen in any restaurant unnoticed by the staff.

Berlin Police Chief Warns Jews and LGBTQ+ to Exercise Caution in Certain Neighborhoods
Anyone who isn’t obeying the laws of the country they immigrated to should be deported immediately or arrested then deported. The longer you wait the worse it gets.

Fatal Crash: Pickup Truck Collides with Motorcycle & Electric Tricycle in Amnat Charoen
I’m sure it was break failure as usual. Nothing to do with the speeding or reckless driving.

Thailand’s economy rebounds but experts warn of growth risks
Maybe if they stop having and promoting so many holidays and trips, the people could save money and actually pay their debts. All the government wants is for them to travel and spend money to increase their figures. Unfortunately many just think for the moment and forget about the bills until they are due. Then oops. We spent our money on that festival last weekend. Ughh drives me crazy. 🤪

Pattaya Cracks Down on Foreign Criminals to Boost Tourist Confidence
When you go for quantity and not quality this is exactly what you get. Also remember there are two sets of laws. One for locals and one for foreigners. Always has been, always will be.

Thai mother ignores after new husband sexually assaults daughter
That mother should lose all of her parental rights, the teacher re educated, and the stepfather in jail. For financial reasons it’s okay??? WTF
