black tabby12345 replied to Rachel2023's topic in Thailand Travel Forum
Are you looking for elsewhere that is lot cooler than BKK? If so, how about Loei(unsure about its major towns)? I have heard it is the Coolest Region in Thailand(average annual temperature). Loei Climate, Weather By Month, Average Temperature (Thailand) - Weather Spark Location on google map: ttps://www.google.com/maps/place/Loei/@17.2821468,101.0679473,8.6z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x3121251a70100449:0x10469cfc8de4a20!8m2!3d17.4220407!4d101.6157773!16zL20vMDFmMjho?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAwNy4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D If you are after the lowest temperature in dry season, Sakon Nako Where Is The Coldest Place In Thailand? 2024 (catisoutoftheoffice.com) Hope this helps. -
Thai people often don't hesitate to be photographed by the strangers when approached in a friendly manner. I am in Chiang Mai, and recently photographed a young pair(man & woman) in an ancient costume the park. Their clothing looked impressive and interesting. So I asked them for permission to take a few photos. I was a total strangers to them. But they happily said OK. This kind of response is not rare in this kingdom. Same applies to their pets(cats & dogs) while they are walking these small animals with them.

...This provoked her friend's husband, who struck the man in the face, leaving him unconscious on the sand. ---------------------------------------------------------- Knocking out a heavy adult man with one single hit. That harassment victim's husband must be quite a Hard Puncher. Might be talented to be a good Muay Thai boxer LOL.

..to ensure that all vehicles are fully equipped for safe operation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recent death of 23 caused by the bus flame-up during school excursion. Its main cause was the ill-fitted fuel system. But looks like no mandatory engine checkup is implemented for better safety. Perfect example of the Thai administrative practice: Saying, but Not Really Doing.

Chinese Luxury Housing Project Probed for Money Laundering
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Chinese mega capital projects. Often come with one adjective of 'illegal'. In China itself, skyscraper condos were often built on the money illegally obtained. Their local government is not allowed to engage in financial speculation. But they often dodge the system by mocking up dummy firm(to look like in private sector). And get the loan from the financial institutions. In recent years, such fake housing developers are facing bust one after another... -
Old foreign men honey trapped for fortune by younger women in the destination country. A kind of pretty common happenings in Sout East Asia. Same tales are also often heard from the Philippines as well. Foreign males(often middle to old age) were left penniless after giving away so much of own money. When the fund runs out, tossed away by the younger local females. As stated below:

Elderly Swiss man busted with gun at Phuket Airport
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
I have heard of the case of the bar fight(a tale from USA back in late 1970s). One drunk man felt horrible headache next morning. So he went to the hospital. Then the doctor was stunned to find out a few rounds of .25 impacted and stopped on the skull of that patient(still alive and able to reach the medical institution by himself). I know that the effect of the bullet may vary depending on the angle when it hit object. If it goes at the right angle, it can penetrate the bone. But from the shallow angle, it cannot always do the same. I am certainly not dumb enough to shoot myself(or anyone else) to evaluate the effect of the bullets. And moreover, in Thailand, a foreigners cannot own a gun except for the exceptional circumstances. I am not a novice to firearms. I used to own and shoot guns lawfully before my settlement here. -

Elderly Swiss man busted with gun at Phuket Airport
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
What a coincidence. 82 YO foreigner caught at Gate 81; just a difference of 1. This is what they found: Astra(made in Spain), model A25 6.35mm(.25Caliber) . 6.35mm round is less powerful than .22 Long Rifle(despite its larger caliber). If you are thinking about a self-defense gun, .22 is better than .25. .25(6.35mm) round is said be so weak that it cannot even break through the squirrel spine. -

Portion of the news text extracted: Upon arrival at the scene, police found the stolen gold in the suspect’s bag, along with a folding knife, a fake gun, and two homemade bombs. The suspect, identified as 24-year-old Khamphan Srihasuk from Uthai Thani province, was also in possession of a motorbike that had been spray-painted white, with its license plate removed.
