Report reveals secret US inquiry into alleged 2016 Egyptian $10m gift to Trump
"one down month does not change the trend".? Of course it does, it's a reset. Not even a decent attempt at gaslighting. Noted you failed to address the link I posted, which is symptomatic of your dishonesty. -

Where buy/read Bangkok Post print edition around Huay Kaew Road?
Presuming you're talking about a Bangkok Post in English, I don't believe there is a single place selling same anywhere on Huay Kaew Road. I walk to/from the CMU entrance somewhat regularly and haven't seen a single place selling same. I occasionally see an English version being sold at 2 places: (1) Kad Luang (Wararot Market) and (2) a place close to Sompet Market. There very well could be others elsewhere I haven't seen. Given I've read the paper for 13+ years, I used to know all the places where they sold the English version; however, the Bangkok Post quit selling same to most vendors a few years back....and I now have a subscription for daily delivery. -

Toddler found 3km from Udon Thani home after wandering off
A three year old toddler wandered 3 kilometres from home in Udon Thani on Wednesday, July 31, while following a dog after their mother fell asleep from taking allergy medication. The child was found playing in a rice field, narrowly avoiding a fall into a nearby water pit. This incident took place in the Khuea Nam subdistrict, Ban Phue district, Udon Thani province. A 23 year old single mother, shared her ordeal with reporters. She explained that she had taken painkillers and allergy medicine due to a toothache and potential flu symptoms, which made her sleepy. The woman inadvertently fell asleep in her rubber plantation hut. Upon waking around 4pm, she realised her three year old son had gone missing. She questioned her parents, who were working nearby, but they hadn’t seen him either. The family, alongside community members, began a frantic search, checking nearby plantation huts but to no avail. They even alerted the local community leader, who organised a motorbike search party. After about three hours, they received news that the boy had been found, playing in a rice field at the village’s edge, approximately 3 kilometres from where he had disappeared. He had traversed through cassava fields, forests, and rice paddies. It was incredibly fortunate that the child emerged unscathed from the ordeal. A 55 year old woman named Ae discovered the child. She recounted that she was herding her buffaloes into their pen when she heard a child’s laughter around 7.30pm. Initially, she thought it might be a ghost, as it seemed unlikely that a child would be playing in the water with a dog at that hour. Concealed by the rice plants, she couldn’t see the child at first. Upon closer inspection, she found the boy playing in chest-deep water. She asked where he came from, but he couldn’t articulate much due to his age. Ae brought him to her field hut, bathed him, fed him, and then contacted the community leader. The community leader informed the boy’s family, who had been tirelessly searching for him. Ae expressed disbelief that such a young child could wander so far without harm, given the treacherous route that included water bodies and dense vegetation. She noted that if the boy had walked another 50 metres, he would have undoubtedly fallen into a water pit. She urged all parents to keep a close watch on their children to prevent similar incidents, reported KhaoSod. by Nattapong Westwood Photo courtesy of KhaoSod Full story: The Thaiger 2024-08-03 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

Stupid hybrid newbie questions (new Toyota Yaris Cross)
I am quite disappointed with the lengthy wait to receive my Yaris Cross English manual; it's been over a month, and the transition from a conventional ICE car to a hybrid has a significant learning curve. I was unaware of many precautions, but the European version of the Yaris Cross manual proved to be very helpful, as did the videos from The Car Care Nut that I found online https://youtu.be/SKoPqb0SZEM For driving my Yaris Cross, I primarily use the default normal mode, mainly on highways, and about 20% of the time at speeds of 60km/h or less on village roads. My average fuel efficiency is 28.2 km/l, but on a recent day when I pushed the car, I managed only 20.1 km/l over a short 23km drive. I believe I could achieve 30km/l or even exceed 3.5 litres/100km if I switched to eco mode and concentrated on minimizing fuel costs, although fuel is a minor part of the overall expenses of car ownership. -

"Regrets" versus "best thing I ever did".
Poorly paid, actually. State job. But, you could retire with a pension once you reached 30 years of service, which I did at age 53. Virginia had a rather innovative pension option at the time, which I used, where you could opt for a larger pension in your first years of retirement, which reduced somewhat once you qualified for Social Security. But, you still got COLAs every year, so the pension was increasing each year. I worked another 5 years part-time at the same job to supplement the pension, while also flipping condos, then moved to Thailand. Took Social Security early, at age 62, which some say not to do, but, in my case, I think it was the best option and absolutely no regrets on that. The library job involved a lot of different duties, none of which was to 'read books all day'. And, thank goodness--even though I like to read, that would soon get boring. -

Dead Farang - Low Cost Cremation
Couple an hour from me, the husband cut himself badly taken to village hospital who discovered he had no health cover. Needed blood transfusion and special medicine, proof of funds could not be done before he passed, being a heavy smoker and spirit drinker did not help. He dropped off the radar and rumours started, friends were blanked, info scarce what they think happened were!!!! Hospital released the body to wife, put in the back of a pick-up and taken up to the wifes village where on temple grounds a pyre were made and cremation carried out, all the ashes put in the local river. Guy had no friends in attendance since it where done over a couple of days. Now that story maybe B/S though having seen rules not being adhered too for non-Buddhists who knows. Would be very cheap though. -
