NACC Launches Probe into Thaksin’s Alleged Hospital Fake-out
You are wasting your time girls. No matter what the result of the investigation, the patient cannot be blamed. The fault would be with the corrections department or the doctors.

Van Runs Red Light, Crashes into Motorcycle, Killing Rider on the Spot
The F-wit ran the light on purpose. Another case of 'my van is bigger and more important - they can wait for me'?

American Expat Wins Hearts in Pattaya with Helmets for Kids
Good point. More than once I have bought helmets for the staff. They then sell them at the market. Only 2 or 3 still wear their helmets.

Thailand Unveils Bold Tax Reform as VAT Proposal Faces Backlash
at the expense of low paid, poorer and unemployed private citizens. ie the majority. They also plan to reduce the % age of personal income tax. Low paid workers do not pay any.

Siblings flee drug-addicted father only to be targeted by rapist
What a terrible start to their young lives. I would not be surprised if they never trusted an adult again.

Thai hospital checks out of universal healthcare gold card scheme
Maybe the conflict is due to possible/suspected over-charging by the hospital to the NHSO?

Kite Incident: 7-Year-Old Boy Struck and Killed by Rice Harvester Truck in Buriram
Very sad when a parent looses a child. Feels like a double whammy. RIP Nong Pee. Fly your kite with angels.

Landslide Buries Workers’ Camp on Koh Samui, Two Missing
I did - it was solid and continuous. Humidity in my bedroom - 99%. I cannot close the solid wood doors. Swollen up with the damp.

Full Moon Party last night. If he attended - a sad way to end.

Sadly, that probably will not happen until someone rich and important gets killed.

Landslide Buries Workers’ Camp on Koh Samui, Two Missing
There is a review ongoing at the moment - by the DSI. Lots of 'discussions, a few court cases and land titles being revoked. I was out on the bike this morning, lots of floods and running water - washing debris down from the hills. Neighbour tried to get her mother to Nathon hospital, couldn't get through. Small stalled cars and floods on the ring road blocking it. Should start to disperse when the tide goes out. The forecast is for the rain to stop today.

Landslide Buries Workers’ Camp on Koh Samui, Two Missing
The rain was so bad yesterday that only six flights landed on time. The other 37 were late, very late (285 minutes was the worse) or diverted. Much better weather today up here at the 'pointy' end.

UNICEF Executive Director: More than 14,500 children have reportedly been killed in Gaza
But the murdering, kidnapping Hamas rapists are more then happy to use them as human shields. Also, to use these children as a shield for where they hide the hostages. Go for the murderers, not the victims. Oh, I forgot - 56 muslin members in the UN - they swing the votes against the one Jewish member. They also dictate the propaganda.

Liver and Bacon
Thanks for that lom. Me as well at The Shakespeare. We managed to get Joe to do a special a year or two back, still very good, but it needs a few of you to eat it all. (Joe also does a really good Beef Wellington. Again, it needs a few of you.)

Thailand would be in a better pace if they found some of the bones from the current dinosaurs.

Two Phuket Nurses Praised for Assisting Passengers on Flight
Strange. Two passengers on the same flight with similar symptoms. That flight takes off at 19.50. When I get food poisoning I am usually ill within hours, not a day later. Very strange.

Liver and Bacon
Hi Can anyone recommend a place for a decent liver and bacon dinner. Hopefully closer to the north of island but as they say in the west - have hunger will travel.

Hong Kong master’s student duped into Thai nightmare
Easy to say when we come from civilised countries. I would do the same. But we are talking about victims in China and in many cases Thailand where you are dragged up from an early age and told to obey. Do not question. Do not argue back. Just do as you are told.

UN urges Thailand to decriminalise sex work for healthcare access
Always a tricky one this. Sadly, the dinosaurs do not want change and they would never accept advice from outside groups. Thai is Thai. Change will only come from within.
