Finnish Man, 21, Injured After Falling from Udon Thani Hotel
Don't know how high the railings are at that hotel. If the railing is only around waist high it is very easy to fall off if you are leaning over the rail to get a better view. You will have more weight on the wrong side of the rail.

On Thai news last night they were saying that the civilian that had been supposedly killed had been cremated already about 4 hours after the incident. Highly unlikely.

Thailand to Lift 2–5pm Alcohol Ban to Boost Sales, Deputy PM
I guess none of them work between 10am and 2pm. Convenient how they left the lunch hours open for drinking.

Thai Vendor Fined for Allegedly Overcharging YouTubers

Asking a Thai Woman if She’s Gay: Polite or Not?
I don't think Thais are bothered about this sort of stuff as much as westerners are. For instance if someone is fat Thai's have no problem telling them that. In the west it would be considered impolite.

25 THB in bank account
In general they don't close accounts unless they have been inactive for a year with a balance of less than 2,000 baht. At that point they will start charging a monthly fee until the account is emptied.

I Can’t Believe Thailand Is STILL Obsessed With Masks
Even before covid people would wear masks when they were sick to help prevent spreading it to others. Lots of police working on the road would wear masks to protect from polution. I still see some people wearing masks now but it is in the minority. Often they are wearing them down on their chin anyways. I supposed you could flip it to the top of your head to avoid a ticket. (joke)

Makro pro online Issues
I think you have to order over 1,000 baht for free delivery. It is like a 90 baht fee otherwise. Also you can still prepay for a delivery if you want. But I find paying on delivery is the best option. They are often short of some items and some are sold by weight and will cause an adjustment to the price. If you do select to pay on delivery you can not pay in cash. I always scan a QR code the driver provides after everything has been checked to pay using the bank app.

Makro pro online Issues
The favorite list had changed to being on one page to being on several pages, which you have to scroll thru, several weeks ago. With about 10 items per page. That said, I just checked the online site and about 80% of the items I had saved are gone.

Getting rid of ants
Anyway the suggestions above are all good. You will get rid of the ants for awhile but eventually they always seem to come back. Also look for cracks along the walls and where pipes enter and try to seal them real good. I read an article not to long ago stating that their are more ants and termites than any other creature on earth.
