Spot the Tipsy: Thailand's New Guidelines for Alcohol Sales
I’d fail heel-toe and one leg stand after not drinking since September. Pre-Gouty ankles, knee replacement placement, other knee with metal plate, and regular inner-ear vertigo balance issues. I can do the fingertip nose ok. 1 out of 3 won’t cut it…

Snapchat, Duolingo, banks hit by major Amazon outage
Might have played a big part of why Makro, nationwide, stopped bank app scanning yesterday. Cash only the systems not working. AWS crash and burn. If you call IT they’ll say; ‘Try turning it off and on again.’

True or False Mailing Letters To America :
This is PARCEL service not letters. Its because of the tariffs situation. There’s no way to calculate or prepare for import charges, certainly not prepaid, and unlike DHL or FedEx you can’t over prep-pay and get a refund to your ‘account the difference’. So postal package service was just stopped cold. But letters ‘without import value’ are fine and were not included in storage.

Thailand Sounds Global Alarm Over Cambodia’s Alleged Ceasefire Violation
“…The Thai government has alerted the international community, asserting that Cambodia has flagrantly ignored a ceasefire agreement, initiating attacks on Thai territory just as it was about to come into force. …” If it was not yet in effect, but just about to be, is that actually a violation? Particularly if all firing stopped by the time it actually took affect?

Thailand's Legal Wrangle with Hun Sen over Audio Leak Escalates
As if Hub Sen gives a flying fart if the Thailand cyber agency charges him for thai law violation. Once it crossed into Cambodia it was a Cambodian diplomatic document. Bad form to diffuse it so far, but you be assured Thailand did its own recording too. Just held closer to the vest. It is a ginned up kurfluffle for local political advantage. Let’s hope cooler heads prevail.

Thai Court Orders Ex-PM Yingluck to Pay 10 Billion Baht in Rice Scheme

Thai Court Orders Ex-PM Yingluck to Pay 10 Billion Baht in Rice Scheme
Let’s not forget it led to flooding 1/4 to 1/3 of the country when they tried to ‘save the rice harvest’. Saved by not releasing 4 hurricanes worth of extra rainwater stored behind northern dams. Water held back under orders from the top, until at 95-98%+ of dam capacity the water was finally released before the dams burst. This flooded not just rice fields, but also Bangkok and down towards Pattaya. Could be seen by satellite. You can’t payoff the ‘rice lords mafia’ for delivering your election if the rice crop is flooded out before full harvest. Sure the farmers got some, but rice millers and storage guys got more. As could be expected in advance, but 4 small hurricanes coming over Vietnam was not expected.

Phuket Stays Secure Despite Myanmar Quake, Assures Governor
Of course this northern part of the rift shifted big time, and is now logically putting increased pressure above and below its epicenter. And right by Phuket, as the connecting faults go from Nepal to Indonesia. But yeah… “Phukets secure” said a gov. with little knowledge of regional plate tectonics.

British Pedophile Captured After 27-Year Manhunt - video
He should just pray it’s only porridge… Historically a nonce of any age gets a very tough and shortened time in gaol… Being put into Genpop is usually a separate ‘sentence’ in itself.

How the Woke Turned a Suspected Killer Into a Cultural Icon
CEO sets policy. He is also on the parent companies board. Hard work by the amoral can lead to success… but who was harmed by their hard work. if you can’t find that evidence which is glaringly public about adverse medical insurance outcomes, don’t expect others to do it for you. PS “Woke” has absolutely zero to do with this. Clearly the most misused word of this decade so far. And absurd it’s used as a pejorative attack, yet most all who accept “Woke” as part of their viewpoint see it as a very positive aspect of their personal philosophy. So an obvious double fail for those using the word to slag the caring.

Thailand Cracks Down on Foreigners Using Thai Nominees
Different day same old jingoistic act. Some new guy in a chair of power trying to prove he can appear to be doing something. Farangs being the easiest target for action. Never mind these nominees help bring in international investment. Never mind the laws are in place, but one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is trying to do, so shoots both feet to ‘look active’

Thai police report 90% arrest rate in crime crackdown
Sure they decide they must arrest someone to be seen doing something 90% of the time. But is that reflected as % of convictions of the actual guilty party? 55 555 They set out to make arrests, so they do. Then, throw out an impressive number, and neglect actual facts. It still sounds “big”.

Proposal Needed for Legal Revisions to Foreign Land Leases
Sounds like a state land grab to me. you can buy your land but if you want to lease it to the people who have cash to pay, then you give your land to the State. You may get your lease money. But will it cover cost of purchase and it’s new value in 99 years? As the land increases in value over 99 years, the state takes it and any builldings improvements on your land done by lessee. State land grab triggered by jingoism
