Krabi mother scammed twice while trying to bail out son
I believe it's a legitimate bank account that is opened up for the purpose of money laundering. The person opening the account is the mule, similar to drug mules but in this instance it's money instead of drugs. The illegal types then may pay the mule for opening an account for them using his/her details.

Woman Falls from Building Near Robinson Mall Chantaburi
It's quite weird as that fence as a row of straight up spikes and then curved ones on the front and rear. Very lucky indeed

Chalong Police urge motorists to reclaim lost licence plates
Aren't the plates bolted on in this country? Seems strange that do many got washed off.

Woman Falls from Building Near Robinson Mall Chantaburi
It looks pretty bad but from the report she was lucky. Could have been a lot worse. Question is how did she 'fall' from a nearby building? Strange.

Wait a few more days and she'll probably be scammed again. The pattern has already formed.

Worst Joke Ever 2026
Yes Boy George the lead singer from Culture Club was a bit strange. The band did put out a few catchy tunes tho, and a number of top hits.

Fugitive Singaporean Drug Trafficking Suspect Arrested
Singapore no longer has the death penalty.... used to be public hanging. Malaysia I think still does but they've moved from firing squad to the noose.

Sorry... took me a while to think outside of the box. Like a lizard! Or a culture club song... I'll grab your hat for you as well!

Krabi Airport: Woman Lying on Baggage Belt Inappropriate, Not Illegal
Now that they've said it isn't illegal, all these wanna be influencers are going to jump on the bandwagon. Just you wait till some Richard Cranium gets hurt, then we might see some proper action taken. I expect to see someone getting their finger wrenched off on one of the corner/turning parts of the belt. Hopefully just a few pinched bums (From the conveyor belt!) will sort this lot out.

Ideas for a low speed room fan?
I have 2 of these tower type fans, one on each side of the bed. They are perfect for what you need. Ours are a few years old now and the electronic buttons don't always work however the remote does the trick. They are as you say, just like an air con fan but mounted on its end to form a tower. Very quiet in operation and has 3 speeds with differing swing motions. Cleaning is a bit of a job but nothing more than removing a few screws to get access. We had a few normal pedestal fans, which were noisy and finally died. Prefer the tower fans now.

Wise removes Long Stay Reason on Transfers
I believe there has been bigger delays for people whose funds come from the USA. That's possibly what Scuba is trying to ascertain.

Ride-Hailing Car Crashes into Oil Truck, Passenger Killed, One Injured in Rayong
Maybe the amulet distracted him... And he's using that as a reason he was 'saved'... He should be banned from driving. Idiot caused the passengers death.

Fugitive Singaporean Drug Trafficking Suspect Arrested
Send him back to Singapore... I'm sure Changi will be awaiting with open arms. And a few strokes of the rotan!

Western Union better than “Wise”
I tend to agree with your summation. Large amounts of $$$ attract more attention by authorities. I can't remember the amounts but I recall in NZ, over a certain amount the tax men are advised as well. Working in the Middle East I was always careful what I remitted 'home'.

It wasn't trolling Mr Proton... I thought I was responding to a question as in the OP title. If that upset you I apologise.

Two Iranian Thieves Arrested for Targeting Chinese Tourists in Bangkok
Maybe Ms. Mizaniaparco Fatemi Ali, 41, identifies as a man (but without a cock).

PM Paetongtarn Faces Threat with Impeachment Over Cabinet Pick
Strange, one would think that these 'leaders' should know that you have to be squeeky clean to survive in politics. Possibly why so many don't. Or they don't have enough money to cover up their corruption.

Two Iranian Thieves Arrested for Targeting Chinese Tourists in Bangkok
Send them home with a letter to the Iranian police. I'm sure they won't steal after they've been dealt with by Islamic law. I detest thieves.

Western Union better than “Wise”
WOW, that's a bit of a delay. What's causing such delay? I read using ACH are generally free but done in batches which can cause delays. Thankfully I haven't had that occur so far. The biggest delay is from NZ bank into Wise but only approx 10-20 mins tops.

Do you eat fast food - I had a KFC Zinger burger meal today
Hats off to you. You're braver than I'll ever be. I don't mind sardines on toast but that stuff is just over the top! In NZ we had Salisbury fish paste and yes, great on toast

Do you eat fast food - I had a KFC Zinger burger meal today
Yes there are some things in the markets that even I can't stomach. Those big plastic pails of fermented (or rotten) fish for one. Smells so bad and yet I'm told it is nice when added to certain dishes! I'd rather not take the risk. I like Thai food due to liking spiciness. Indian curries are also good. I've never tried authentic Mexican... maybe one day? Middle Eastern I find a bit too bland....its ok but not every day.
