In a BBC report: 'The 57-year-old's leg got stuck on Thursday morning after she tripped over her suitcase while on her way to board a flight, local media said'. 'A pink suitcase next to her had lost two wheels, while yellow comb plates typically found at the end of travelators had also broken off'. Now that might sound a bit fanciful to some but not to me, because I witnessed a very similar accident at a tube station on London's underground. A lady had her suitcases in front of her and when she got to the bottom the cases jammed in the off ramp and she fell forward. So I know it can happen. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-66062753

It was a travelator, not an escalator. According to the BBC report she fell over her suitcase. I've seen this happen on an escalator in London. The suitcase which was ahead of her jammed and stopped when it came to the off ramp and she was propelled forward and fell. She was very lucky because I just happened to be in the right place at the right time so I could reach over and hit the emergency stop button. It could have been catastrophic because it was very busy at the time. I suspect that this could have been a similar occurrence. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-66062753

I would consider an errant golf ball flying into the engine intake of an aircraft on its take off run just a bit of a hazard! Ok, so it's never happened, but that's not the point of this assessment. When they assess an airfield they look at potential hazards not necessarily past occurrences as some posters seem to think. They are risk assessments.

From the article: 'However, an operational golf course is situated between the two runways at the airport, which could certainly add a sense of danger to any golfer’s experience. Flooding has also been a problem in the past on the runway of Don Mueang International Airport. In 2011, the rise of floodwaters prevented domestic flights from taking off and landing as water made its way to various runway's. I've often wondered about the common sense of having a golf course in the middle of an airfield!

In the village that I live in, most old folk die at home. The doctor is always called in to certify the death. Having a death certificate is very important. Think insurance payouts, pension/widows payments. Bank accounts. You can't deal with any of these things without a death certificate. You're being totally illogical.. At the time she left the hospital no she wasn't. because she wasn't dead was she and at press time she still wasn't! The plan was to take her home as it said in the O/P and my post. Seems to me you read neither the O/P or my post in any depth before typing your kneejerk response.

No that would never happen. The body of a deceased person would never go straight from the hospital to the cremation oven. In Thai society, the mourning period is very important. It's obvious from the narrative that Chataphon's mother's plan was taking her home so that she could die there, surrounded by her family. That is the preferred way for almost all Thais. Most Thais are also 'laid out' at home for the mourning period, which lasts a minimum of 2 days. But sometimes the body is laid out at the temple instead and that appears to be what their arrangements were, hence the quick of change of plan when Chataphon apparently died. A doctor would have been summons to the temple to confirm the death and issue the death certificate. But she confounded them all didn't she and at the very least she got to see her daughter.

Female dogs first come into season for the first time between six and twelve months of age, but it can vary. I'd say there's every chance that she'll start producing soon.

Nonsense!

Yes, it didn't take long for your thread to deteriorate into a urinating contest did it!

Rather than repeating a load stuff that's already been said, (including by myself) I'd suggest you visit this thread which has 4 pages of advise. I'm sure you'll find it useful.

Was there another one?

Yes it most certiany does. From ChatGBT: 'Yes, depression can often lead to irrational behavior. When someone is depressed, they may experience distorted thinking patterns that can cause them to have a negative perception of themselves, others, and the world around them'. Most folks would understand that at least to degree, but on this forum most like to express their anti Thai sentiment instead. Pathetic.

Thanks for pointing that out, although I suspect it fell on deaf ears. The anti Thai posts in this thread are both childish and pathetic.

I'm quite sure that is not correct. Folks can only get a divorce in the same country in which they were married and header says: 'Married in farangland'. As others have said, if he has no intention of remarrying, just forget about and get on with life.

My wife had a appendectomy earlier this year. The surgeon left the incision open for a week with a tube inserted. When I asked him about this, he explained that it was because of the risk of infection that they left it open so that they could drain any fluid and to do an internal inspection to make sure there was nothing nasty going on inside. She made a full recovery so fair dos. It seems that he knew his stuff.

As I expected, the only reason that he was required to attend in person was to have his photograph taken. 'The renewed ID was merely used for a photograph with all other details being reused from the old information'. It's high time that procedure was updated.!

No doubt a great many more than than the 'temple' inspired versions.

And cost money. This was a temple event, not a construction job.

Will you please stop being so pedantic? I've seen Thais in action for many years now and they will use whatever comes to hand to get the job done, If they ain't got the ideal tool, then they'll use whatever else they have. If they have nothing to hand then they'll resort to muscle power. They don't summons the Abbot (in this case) and say: 'Sorry guv' but according to H & S rules we can't lift this'. They'll just get on with the task. And sometimes, sadly it goes wrong. No problem, blame the spirits.

It's not enough is it. In fact you've answered your own question in your O/P. Sadly the habit starts when they're are much younger. If parents go visiting in the evening, the kids go with them. They do not 'call the babysitter'. There have been many kids in our house over the years yawning away late at night when they should have been home and in bed. Not only are they dog tired, they're bored out their skulls as well.

The (constantly repeating) reminder on the App said I was to go into a branch, with my ID/passport, which I did. After a bit of paperwork and signing (plus counter signing by the manager) my photo was taken by them. The only thing I did on my phone was play Sudoku whilst waiting my turn.

This is not just a problem in Thailand either. Worldwide it has become a major issue thanks firstly to Eddison and his lightbulb and now the proliferation of digital devises. In the USA: 'Teens need nine hours of sleep a night for their developing brains. But studies show that close to 70% of teens don’t get that'. Childmind Institute on Sleep

How does a trolley help them in getting it up onto a 6 wheeler, which is getting on 2 meters high?

The only people who believe in Santa Claus are young kids who are being lied to by their elders. I don't see any connection with spirits. My 2nd paragraph was also a stupid funny joke. Ho ho ho!

Looking at its shape and size and knowing its weight, it's likely that it was not possible to maneuver it onto the truck in the 'perfect' manner you suggest. A fork lift truck was the best and safest solution.
