So, from information on his phone, the police say they know exactly who he is and , if he does not surrender, they will go and arrest him. Too much trouble to go and arrest him (them) first, I suppose, and it is best to give him (them) time to dispose of the stolen jewellery.

If the P.M. has been at the forefront of tackling water-related hazards and natural disasters over the past 7 years, then we all know who is to blame for all the recent floods affecting so many provinces and hundreds of thousands of his so-called brothers and sisters.

Obviously, we all need to await the full facts of this case, assuming they are eventully revealed. Some questionable points though: It is alleged the intruder carried 290000 bahts on him. Quite bulky and for what purpose? His sister claims she knew he had the money on him, even though she lives nowhere near. Wife claims to have slept through it all. If he was invited by the wife, why did she do so when the husband might have been at home? If invited, why did he not use the door and why carry a gun unless his intention was to kill the husband? Could the husband have been aware of the plot and decided to kill the intruder when he arrived? Perhaps the gun was thrown into a nearby pond by the husband, once he had disarmed the intruder to ensure that it could not be repossessed by the intruder and used against the husband. The intruder was tied up presumably because he was still alive and to avoid any further attack? The police were called, possibly after a delay, due to shock and doubt as to how to proceed. And so it goes on. Hopefully, the police will do a thorough job and get tothe botom of it all.

The deputy premier urged all agencies to be on the alert for possible flash floods in high-risk areas, and to be well prepared for flooding through the remainder of this year’s rainy season. Gen Prawit asked the agencies to redirect water flow away from the city, and try to reserve some water for future use during the dry season. No need to worry then, problem solved! For floods and drought.

I assume that these roadside power poles and trees are not magnetic. Why, then, are so many motor cycles and vehicles apparently drawn towards them? Collapsible poles, as used in many other countries might be a bit safer than concrete, but not much can be done about the trees. Helmets and safety belts would also help, but possibly not in the case of most of the accidents, where excessive speed seems to be apparent, judging by the piles of junk left behind which were once vehicles. The over-riding cause of these accidents however must surely be due to lack of adequate training.
