Thais to enjoy more cut of electricity charge
It's the Ft, fuel surcharge, that has affected the bills the most. They jacked it way up when fuel prices were high but never lowered it when they came back down.

Identity heist: Thai man’s plastic surgery ploy backfires, friend jailed in case of mistaken identity
From the linked article: "Anucha told Channel 3 that he was stressed during his detention and almost admitted to committing a crime because of the pressure." I guess the pressure is that if you confess your sentence is reduced 50%. Even if you are innocent but think you are going to be stuck in prison you would be tempted to take the shorter sentence.

Flowing frustration: Mysterious water bill surge drowns Thai homeowner in questions
Did she check her meter to see if the reading on the bill is close to the actual reading on the meter? Also check the meter to see if it is spining when nothing is being used.

Swollen joint on second toe, pain in others
Maybe fastum gel would help some for now. It is for pain and inflammation. It's not one of those menthol gels.

Weighing passengers to become standard for Bangkok Airways
Yet somehow planes have been taking off for decades without weighing passengers. I can only see one purpose and that is to add more fees.

Father Releases Dashcam Video of Tragic Hit-and-Run Involving Daughter, Questions Justice
I never assume that just because the light turned green it is safe to proceed. The only days I don't see red lights being run are the days I stay home all day. That truck driver beside her must have seen the car coming because he didn't budge until after the accident.

Pita says Move Forward can win next General Election by a landslide after Rayong poll success
Theoretically they could win enough votes to get the PM seat. If that did happen though something would be done to stop it. It would be very difficult to get that many votes though. First you have to overcome the senate votes. And then they have 40 or so parties running to dilute the votes.

How to get my money to Thailand
If you move to Thailand full time with no US address you will have to let the social security unit at the US embassy in Manila know about it. You can get your SS payments sent directly to a Thai bank. Also there is a form they are supposed to mail to you every year if you live overseas. You are required to fill it out and mail it back otherwise your payments will be stopped. Sort of a proof of life thing I guess. Here is a page where you can ask questions: https://ph.usembassy.gov/services/fbu-inquiry-form/ (one of the drop down items is 'change of bank') General information page: https://ph.usembassy.gov/services/social-security/

Buddhist temple warns good people can go to hell for using life support
There is no hell in true buddhism. Or perhaps you could say this existence is hell. One of the main tenants of buddhism is "life is suffering". The main goal is too stop being reborn and become one with the universe, in other words lose your identity as an individual.

Thai Police Pledge to Cleanup Highway Mafias After Highway Policeman Shooting
But will they stop trucks from being overloaded? Not only should they be fined when overloaded but they should stop the truck and have the company come out and remove the overload before allowing the truck to leave again.

Tinnitus specialist?
I've had really bad tinnitus for decades now. They never have been able to do anything to help it. Too many concerts I guess. There must be tons of Thais with it judging how they love to blare distorted music for kilometers at wats and festivals.
