Three American Bully dogs maul 70-year-old man to death
PomPolo replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
I don't admire it, a man is dead "Sensibly just work something out without months or years of lawyers and courts and nonsense" that's really going to stop people from having dangerous animals, the mentality is, I've got enough money I can do whatever I want. I have had dogs all my life and despite what people say or think they don't just "suddenly" turn there are signs there and precautions you can take. A guy has just been charged in the UK with the death of his mum that had come to see his granddaughter, I feel <deleted> for their family and loss, but it was an illegal dog that someone needs to take responsibility for. The Thais could learn a lot from England! He's not going to be able to buy his way out of that one! -
Thai PM Denies Terrorism Link to Hotel Deaths, FBI Sends Team
PomPolo replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
ChatGPT also getting its info from a competitor site Thaiger, however stuff is adding up other than the reason behind it, I would have paid his debt to keep the other 5 people alive if that is the reason behind it what a complete kn0b a$$hole w4nker and burn in hell! ChatGPT is using the words like allegedly unlike most of the current news reports it is case closed! CHATGPT In the recent case in Thailand where six people were found dead in a hotel room, initial reports suggest the possibility of cyanide poisoning. Cyanide is a highly lethal poison capable of causing rapid death by inhibiting cellular respiration, leading to asphyxiation at the cellular level. Given its potency, cyanide could indeed kill multiple individuals quickly, potentially before they had the chance to call for help (Thaiger) (Thaiger). The deaths of the six Vietnamese nationals were reported after they allegedly consumed tea and coffee mixed with poison. Cyanide is particularly effective in such scenarios because it can cause symptoms like dizziness, headaches, shortness of breath, and loss of consciousness within minutes, progressing swiftly to cardiac arrest and death (Thaiger). Considering the speed and efficiency of cyanide, it is plausible that it could result in multiple fatalities in a confined space without immediate alarm from the victims, especially if they consumed the poison simultaneously and were incapacitated rapidly (Thaiger) (Thaiger). -

One day into the investigation and it's all solved, must be because the FBI arrived in 2 hours or were they already here? There also seems to be some confusion around Arsenic and Cyanide, for the purpose of education this is ChatGPT's opinion, bearing in mind that ChatGPT is not a Thai detective although might not be a bad idea! CHATGPT Arsenic and cyanide are both highly toxic substances, but they differ in their chemical properties, sources, and mechanisms of toxicity. Here are the key differences: Chemical Properties Arsenic Type: Metalloid Chemical Symbol: As Common Forms: Arsenic can be found in both organic and inorganic forms, with inorganic arsenic (e.g., arsenic trioxide, arsenate, arsenite) being more toxic. Appearance: Arsenic compounds are typically colorless and tasteless, making them hard to detect in food and water. Cyanide Type: Chemical compound Chemical Formula: CN^− (cyanide ion) Common Forms: Hydrogen cyanide (HCN), potassium cyanide (KCN), and sodium cyanide (NaCN) are the most common forms. Appearance: Cyanide salts are typically white powders, and hydrogen cyanide is a colorless gas with a faint, bitter almond smell (though not everyone can detect this odor due to a genetic trait). Sources Arsenic Natural Sources: Arsenic is found naturally in the Earth's crust and can contaminate groundwater and soil through natural processes. Industrial Sources: Used in pesticides, herbicides, wood preservatives, and semiconductors. It can also be released from mining and smelting activities. Cyanide Natural Sources: Found in certain plants (e.g., cassava, bitter almonds, pits of fruits like cherries and apricots) as cyanogenic glycosides. Industrial Sources: Used in mining (gold extraction), electroplating, synthetic fibers, and plastics manufacturing. It can also be a byproduct of combustion. Mechanisms of Toxicity Arsenic Cellular Effect: Interferes with cellular respiration by inhibiting various enzymes, particularly those involved in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is crucial for energy transfer in cells. Health Effects: Chronic exposure can lead to skin lesions, cancer (skin, lung, bladder), cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Acute exposure can cause vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and death in severe cases. Cyanide Cellular Effect: Binds to cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria, inhibiting cellular respiration by preventing cells from using oxygen to produce ATP. Health Effects: Rapid onset of symptoms including headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, and seizures. High doses can cause respiratory failure and death within minutes. Treatment Arsenic Immediate Care: Removal from the source of exposure and supportive care. Chelation Therapy: Medications like dimercaprol and succimer can bind to arsenic and help remove it from the body. Cyanide Immediate Care: Removal from the source of exposure and administration of 100% oxygen. Antidotes: Hydroxocobalamin (a form of vitamin B12) binds cyanide to form cyanocobalamin, which is excreted in urine. Sodium thiosulfate can also be used to convert cyanide to thiocyanate, which is less toxic and excreted in urine. Summary Arsenic: A metalloid found in various inorganic and organic forms, primarily affecting long-term health and causing chronic issues such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Toxicity mechanism involves interference with ATP production. Cyanide: A chemical compound found in certain plants and used in various industries, causing rapid onset of symptoms and potentially fatal outcomes by inhibiting cellular respiration through cytochrome c oxidase binding. -

Pure speculation, killing 5 other people and yourself because you owe a few baht to someone, I can't see that personally, it is a pre-emptive news report initiated by police suspicion on unfounded third hand comments no doubt, I have had loans before but I don't want to shoot up a bank! -

Smoke and mirrors is the perfect quote, why would the FBI be sent on the death of two Americans, Brits and Americans die all the time here and they don't send the FBI or MI5 for that! Something much more at play here for someone to want 6 seemingly innocent people dead using a very hard to come by poison. Reminds me of the Novichok killings in the UK a few years ago that has been proven to be KGB operatives. The transparent investigation into this is something that seems to be promised but I suspect will not happen based on the reasons behind these killings, either that or it will be put down to a cult suicide! -

Thailand Moves to Legalise Casinos in Tourism Boost
PomPolo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Keep the good looking birds in the bars will do it for most people I suspect! As for the gambling it will probably go the same way as the cannabis did and they will ban it a year after it is legalised as one general said to another, maybe we should have stayed in the army and not bothered with this government stuff 🙂 -

What did the youtuber bodybuilder golfer do after he won an argument with his girlfriend? He took a mulligan because he knew he’d be in the rough later! -
There is an element of irony here - these people either directly or indirectly have been making immigration difficult for the British for years and now want a forever British visa themselves to avoid criminal charges, only in Thailand!!!

Thai tourism sector proposes 300-baht tax to counter over-tourism
PomPolo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Have said this before and will say it again, at all the international airports they should just have a U-turn before passport control to take you back to your country on the same airplane you arrived in and buckets in the departure lounge that say "Please put in this bucket all the money you brought to spend on your holiday" Pompolo for head of TAT! -

PomPolo replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Never heard anything so daft. Tax cars higher, for roads, water and airports improve your infrastructure and get into the 21st century. I have been to a couple of these resorts recently and they definitely don't appear to be over-touristed, the hotel prices would be increasing and they are not with plenty of availability, a scheme to line the coffers in my opinion or a bureaucrat to justify their position. -

Smokin’ scuffle: Foreigner’s taxi tantrum goes viral in Phuket
PomPolo replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Should have chopped his arm also - would have had problems then smoking then! I am also not the biggest fan of Thai taxi drivers at times but as a smoker can refrain from smoking for an hour or so, I find usually the offer of a small tip the guys will usually pull over for a few mins to get our cravings, half of the time they smoke themselves so are quite happy with the break and gives us a chance to socialise with our Asian brothers! -
