Report Parking Row Turns Ugly as Benz Driver Slaps Student in Bangkok
Picture courtesy of Facebook/ หม่อม ณี BANGKOK - A Mercedes-Benz driver is at the centre of a storm after allegedly slapping a university student during a heated parking dispute outside a convenience store on Soi Sukhumvit 62 in Bangkok. The student took to social media to share a video of the confrontation, captioning it, “Wealthy Mercedes-Benz driver slaps university student in Soi Sukhumvit 62.” The footage, however, resulted in unexpected backlash against the student. Netizens criticised both the driver’s use of violence and the students’ behaviour. The original post was deleted, but the video quickly went viral after others reposted it across Thai social media platforms. In the video, the driver defended his actions, explaining difficulties in opening his car door due to the students’ motorcycle being parked too close. He claimed he had asked the female student to move it, but she refused, citing a lack of keys. The driver argued that the motorcycle could have been moved without keys or her boyfriend could have been called to assist. He emphasised that the area was not meant for motorcycle parking and that his request had been ignored. The driver accused the students of having poor manners. The students, however, insisted that the driver was rude and aggressive. A bystander intervened, suggesting both parties were wrong; the students for parking in a car space and the driver for using violence. Picture courtesy of Facebook/ หม่อม ณี The video concluded with the driver becoming irate and swiping the student’s phone, ending the recording. The resolution of the incident remains unclear, with no reports of legal action by the students against the driver for the alleged assault. This altercation mirrors a similar incident in Nonthaburi province, where a jewellery store owner and lawyer clashed over a parking dispute. In that case, the lawyer verbally attacked the store owner after blocking a space, leading to legal proceedings. The outcome remains unresolved. The unfolding of these parking disputes highlights ongoing tensions in urban spaces over vehicle accommodations and proper conduct, illustrating a broader issue facing city residents.

Community Greek Man Stricken by Mysterious Illness Left Without Treatment as Funds Run Dry in Rayong
This is just what I'm talking about. There is some HUGE misconception that anti-biotics will "speed the healing process" .. this is absolutely false. Any first year medical student knows and is taught that the common cold, flu, covid 19 etc are all VIRAL infections. Anti-biotics DO NOT DO ANYTHING to treat those illnesses. Antibioitics are not designed to treat viral infection. Most are in the same family as the original antibiotics penicillin. Illnesses like pneumonia, strep throat, sepsis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and the like are BACTERIAL infections and treated with antibiotics. A huge problem with Thai health care and pharmacies is they hand out antibiotics for THE WRONG ILLNESSES and cause bacterial tolerance problems if/when used for the appropriate illness. Viral infections are much harder to treat. Hence, no easy cure for Covid 19, the flu and common cold. The best that the medical community can do is provide vaccines which work in a completely different way than antibiotics.
