Must Read Ex-Police Chief "Joe Ferrari" Commits Suicide in Thai Prison
1duckyboy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
On second thought, with him having killed a person during interrogation, the other convicts may have "helped" with his suicide. He would have been a target, no doubt. -

Must Read Ex-Police Chief "Joe Ferrari" Commits Suicide in Thai Prison
1duckyboy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
"investigated by local police and prison officials" Maybe he has enough evidence on higher ups that a phony suicide was done with another poor soul as his body double. He could be out of the country now. TIT -

I'm waiting for the PM to declare her father a special emissary, or some such, who represents Thailand at the ASEAN meeting, thus circumventing his travel ban. Pardon my cynicism. -

Pattaya Gears Up for Music Fest with Massive Security Force
1duckyboy replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
There is a terror alert issued by the U.S. embassy in Thailand for U.S. citizens in Thailand. Since the Uyghers were sent to China, Uygher sympathizers may attack Thailand, especially areas of tourist concentrations. Maybe the Thai government is exercising a rare example of it being proactive with it's show of force at the festival. Making knowledge of a possible terrorist attack public would be too much to ask as it might hurt tourist numbers. -

Trump Calls for Return of Panama Canal Over "Unfair" Transit Rates
1duckyboy replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Comparing the cost of something over 100 years ago to the cost now is nonsensical. Here's what Google AI's "drivel" says about the cost of transiting the Panama Canal in the last 10 years. "The cost to pass through the Panama Canal has changed significantly in the last ten years, with the average cost of transiting the canal increasing to $900,000 since the canal's expansion: Tolls Tolls are based on a ship's type, tonnage, and payload, with larger ships paying more. For example, Panamax containerships can pay up to half a million dollars in tolls. Auction fees Auction fees can double the cost of using the canal, and in 2023 reached as much as $4 million per passage. Drought A drought has halved the number of daily slots available through the canal, forcing shippers to pay more to get their cargoes through. The Panama Canal Expansion project, which was completed in 2016, tripled the canal's capacity. The canal authority is planning to create a new reservoir to supply enough extra water to handle an additional 12 to 15 passages a day."
