I was 100% happy in Ban Krut this year. Nicest locals I've ever met. Literally everyone was friendly. Never encountered that before anywhere. There are farangs there but most appear to be tourists. Ideal spot for an IT guy.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 05:46:17 +0000These Beasts are now locked away from bradford kids. A well known poster on here swears Grooming Gangs dont exist anymore in the UK. Take not of the ethnicity of them all.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 05:44:23 +0000My Thai bank accounts are not limited to 10,000 baht digital transactions. The restriction I encounter is a 50,000 baht limit per mobile banking transaction, not a 10,000 baht limit. This is not a policy unique to any one bank. It stems from anti-fraud measures and enhanced identity verification requirements introduced by Thai regulators and implemented across the banking sector. Thai nationals can generally complete the required identity verification processes and, subject to their bank's approval, obtain significantly higher transaction limits. Foreign account holders often face additional restrictions and may remain subject to lower app-based transfer limits. Where larger amounts need to be transferred, banks can usually process them through additional verification procedures, either at a branch or via direct contact with the bank. For example, large one-off transactions such as a vehicle purchase can be accommodated after communication with the bank. In short, the 50,000 baht per-transaction limit is a regulatory and security-driven restriction rather than a policy imposed by any particular bank. The 10,000 baht limit you are stating is not standard restriction for foreigners, which would suggest that the issue is specific to your account transaction settings.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 05:44:17 +0000Since you clearly worked out that answering the question would expose your hypocrisy, the best course of action would have been to ignore it. By continuing to squirm/deflect you are simply drawing more attention to it. I'd stop now if I were you.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 05:43:49 +0000All the sudden the left supports the existence of the deep-state, which they heretofore referred to as a conspiracy theory.

So he is testing me?Fri, 05 Jun 2026 05:42:29 +0000When I lived on Samui a long time ago I had to leave every 2 weeks because I would get fairly severe island fever. But I had countless other complaints about that island, largely due to massive over development, traffic, and all the mom and pop stores and restaurants being taken over by investors very greedy for maximum profits. Pretty, but no thanks. A small Island would be fun but you would have to leave quite often, as the lifestyle can be quite boring unless you love isolation.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 05:41:44 +0000Congrats and I'm not being condescending. Being in a relationship that doesn't revolve around money or at a minimum heavily dependent on it, is nice if that is what your looking for in a relationship. I understand Britmantoo and Scuba also. Some people don't need a partnership where both parties are equals. They live life by their rules and the women they're with aren't being deceived.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 05:41:10 +0000Republicans in the US House of Representatives joined Democrats on Thursday to approve a bill providing military and reconstruction support for Ukraine, marking another public break with President Donald Trump by members of his own party. Get today's headlines by email The Ukraine Support Act passed by a vote of 226 to 195 after 18 Republicans crossed party lines to support the measure. The legislation would allocate more than $1 billion in aid for Ukraine and authorize a further $8 billion in financing loans to support the country's defence efforts. Despite clearing the House, the bill faces long odds of becoming law. It must still be approved by the Senate and signed by Trump, who has not indicated support for the measure. Republicans Defy Party LeadershipThe vote was made possible after Republican supporters joined Democrats in signing a discharge petition, a procedural move that allowed lawmakers to bypass House leadership and force the legislation onto the floor for consideration. The outcome highlights growing divisions within the Republican Party over foreign policy and the administration's approach to international conflicts. It follows another rare display of dissent earlier this week, when four House Republicans joined Democrats to pass a largely symbolic resolution aimed at preventing Trump from taking further military action in Iran. Pressure Builds Over Iran PolicyAlthough the White House dismissed that resolution as an unconstitutional attempt to limit presidential authority, its passage added to pressure on the administration as the conflict with Iran continues. The administration has also retreated from plans to establish an “anti-weaponisation” fund after criticism from both Democrats and some Republicans. Republican lawmakers had warned they could block a key immigration bill if the administration proceeded with plans that would have directed public funds to Trump supporters, creating another source of tension within the president's party. Zelensky Seeks Direct Talks With PutinThe House vote came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky renewed efforts to revive peace negotiations with Russia. In an open letter addressed to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Zelensky called for a face-to-face meeting between the two leaders, arguing that direct engagement offered the best chance of ending the war. He said it would be a mistake to wait until the conflict once again becomes a primary focus of US attention and urged a full ceasefire during any future negotiations. Putin rejected the idea of a ceasefire earlier on Thursday. Trump later said he believed a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian leaders would be beneficial. Peace Efforts Remain StalledAttempts to negotiate an end to the war have made little progress in recent months. Previous rounds of talks held in Geneva, Abu Dhabi and Istanbul have failed to produce a breakthrough. Zelensky's appeal coincided with Putin's attendance at a major economic forum in Saint Petersburg. The letter also referenced a Ukrainian drone strike on the outskirts of the city a day earlier. Meanwhile, Russian-installed authorities in Crimea accused Ukraine of attacks that killed four people in Simferopol. Ukraine said it had targeted a fuel depot. Join the discussion? Already a member?

At the scene, authorities found a severed right leg on the railway track along with a blue shirt. Parts of skull and brain matter was also discovered in the area.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Montri Khong-art, an inspector with Khlong Luang Police Station, said officers responded after receiving reports that a train had struck a person, leaving only a leg visible at the scene. Upon arrival, they confirmed the presence of the severed limb and other small human remains. Authorities have not yet determined whether the deceased was male or female. Rescue workers have been tasked with conducting a thorough search of the surrounding area in an effort to locate additional remain parts.
