Focus on Koh Samui, Thailand – 2024
Loved the above comment. Did you ever try Choengmon Beach? It was not very well known back at the turn of the century and back then, they did not allow tables on the beach. The tables only happened some time in the mid 2000's. There was only had a single track road to Chaweng back then. Great beach but again, no sunsets. Still nice and quiet. Wifey said to me 'I don't care where I live but I want a pool and sunsets'. Sunset from my place.

So the truck only crashed in one vehicle, which in turn crashed into the next one, which in turn............. Resulting in 27 damaged vehicles. Pretty impressive though.

Scottish holidaymaker’s scooter disaster in Koh Pha Ngan
It did not 'record the accident'. The phone was recording him and stopped working as it hit the road. This is the recording. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/british-tourist-left-nothing-terrifying-230000641.html

Focus on Koh Samui, Thailand – 2024
Glad to see that my favourite beach does not get a mention. It will stay nice and quiet for a bit longer. I do not think that the pier is there any more. Then again, I rarely go to Fisherman's Village.

Scottish holidaymaker’s scooter disaster in Koh Pha Ngan
He was riding two handed. The phone was attached to the bike - pointed at him. But that does not mean that he was looking at the road - or the phone. We will never know.

I am surprised that there aren't more accidents with delivery bikes and Grab bikes. The riders are always looking at their phones whilst looking for their destination.

Cathay Pacific HK airline slammed over 5-hour Bangkok delay
Cathay's recover is taking longer than expected. China has lots of planes and quite a few airlines. Cathay is Hong Kong. It has history. China will not be unhappy if Cathay fails.

BBC Staff Divided Over Call to Wear Palestinian Flag Colors and Keffiyeh
Silly me. And I thought that it stood for British Broadcasting Company. Maybe it is going woke and should re-brand? PBC or MBC?

Thai housemaid’s 100 million baht fortune hits a legal snag
From the BP reported previously and again today - they are going to investigate less than 27,000 possible nominee juristic persons in this crackdown. And that is across all five sectors. There will be more nominees than that owning villas, just in Phuket. They are not after every Tom, Dick or Harry who has bought a pizzy little villa in Nakhon Sri Nowhere. I am not an expert but I do read and comprehend.

Leaving a motorbike (scooter) parked without riding it for how long before problems arise?
My Yamaha Neuvo - three days and I had to kick start it (hard work). My Honda PCX - a month or two - no problems. Friend had a small Yamaha Mio - terrible problems after just couple of days. He gave it away in the end.
