Foreign man caught standing naked in cannabis shop in Phuket
A picture of a naked foreign man proudly showing off the family jewels inside a cannabis shop in the Patong neighbourhood of Phuket went viral on Thai social media. The reason for his nakedness is still under investigation. The Phuket Times shared the picture of the naked foreigner yesterday, August 21, with a caption that read, “Free visa! Drunk foreign man in Patong stripped naked and proudly showed off his private parts!” The news page reported that the incident occurred at a cannabis shop in the Patong area of Phuket on Tuesday, August 20. The nationality of the foreign man was not disclosed. In the picture, the naked foreigner was seen standing with his arms extended towards the large window of a blue cannabis shop. Some cannabis plants were outside the store. There were no other customers in the area. The post garnered over 3,200 reactions from netizens, many of whom condemned the foreigner for his inappropriate behaviour and criticised government officials for offering free visas, which they believed allowed poor-quality tourists into the country. “Free visas are no good. Quality tourists don’t come. It’s not worth it. They come and waste our water supply and resources. It’s time to cancel free visas and focus on quality tourists.” “Phuket, the real entertainment venue.” “Hmmm… City of freedom?” “He loves freedom.” “Don’t think too much. It makes Phuket lively!” “It’s not about free visas, it’s about cannabis.” “I often see foreigners walking in shopping malls in bikinis.” Some netizens mentioned a similar incident that occurred last week in the southern province of Surat Thani. In that case, a foreign man was seen taking off his clothes and approaching a cow. The animal was frightened and gored the man, causing him severe injuries. Locals suspected that the man intended to engage in sexual activity with the cow, but this was not confirmed. The foreign man refused treatment at a hospital and immediately rushed home without attending a police questioning.

22 August Small Aircraft Crash in Chachoengsao.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) have received a report of an incident involving a Cessna Caravan C208B aircraft with registration HS-SKR. The aircraft, operated by Thai Flying Service Company Limited, was on flight TFT209, a non-scheduled passenger flight from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Koh Mai Si in Trat Province. During the flight, which only lasted 11 minutes, the aircraft lost contact with air traffic control and disappeared from radar. There were nine people on board, including the pilots. The CAAT has coordinated with the Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation Committee (AAIIC) and the Rescue Coordination Center (RCC) to conduct a search and rescue operation and investigate the cause of the incident. -

Registering car in wife’s name. Good idea?
My response is quite the opposite to yours. We bought the Ford Ranger in 2001 and had it registered in her name. Here we both are after 24 years of marriage and 21 years of the Ford. All 3 of us growing older together. Her Mum lived with us for about 5 years before she died, and she spent 2 weeks out of 3 down in Bangkok for a few months staying with her Dad before he died. I am lucky and you were unlucky. To the OP, it is all a matter of love and you trust her, that is what matters. I is your choice and nobody on this forum can make up your mind for you. My advice, for what it is worth, is to put it in her name. What is worth more to you, your wife , or a soulless lump of metal, glass, rubber and plastic that wont cook or do anything for you. -

Brazil Travel Report
Salvador promised a bit of the old voodoo culture but it was less accessible than even in New Orleans. There's a cultural show twice a week. 4 hours long. The tour seller at the hotel was honest: "it's only 2 hours long, the rest of the time is hotel pickup and drop-off'. So in a way, def a very Brazilian cultural experience. This place is not built for tourism at all. Without my Portuguese-speaking friend, I'd have been fairly lost. Ubers will often tell you need to walk somewhere else to get picked up. They tell you this in Portuguese. The old town resembles the French Quarter. Not so much historically preserved as simply left alone. A few un-touristy shops selling African beads and white dresses for their ceremonies. No English spoken. Some Havana-like bars, maybe half a dozen restaurants with an English menu. We went to TA #1 choice, Oydoyo, and ordered a moquetta, a vast bubbling stew of various banana's and your choice of protein. Not a lot of taste. They fear the chili spice here. It's like yellow curry for hospice patients. Late, at a 5* restaurant near the water, it was the same indifferent service and tepid red snapper with a smear of yellow sauce atop a pile of pureed plants, Def NYC prices. An Anthony Bourdain landmark was a place selling what looked like giant falafels stuffed with small unshelled shrimp (why?) and mashed yucca. A green coconut seller had left his post so they were not available. The biggest grease bomb of my life, surpassing even low rent kabobs in England after pub-closing. Napkins? Seriously? We went to the mall to buy pants, like a Thai mall on valium. They promised alterations that day, 2 days later, but after dozens of heartfelt texts explaining what was going on with the pants, we went back to the mall to investigate. Profuse apologies and a promise of hotel delivery by midnight. And then they pointed behind the cashier to a small bar set up. Double shots of 18 year old Chivas Regal and a small cheese plate were put out. We laughed about life and pants. For 2 hours. They kept pouring drinks and begging us not to leave. So when people ask why I like Brazil when there's really not that much to see or do there, the food is blah, and everything is a soft hassle, I say "that". -

Using what alternative as proof? There is no way of comparing. Would nationalised utilities have performed better? Would energy prices be cheaper? Would the consumer have been better off, possible higher taxes to pay for improvements and research? We'll never know. -

Donald Trump’s speech during Musk interview sparks health concerns
The only laughable thing is the internet has so many Trump haters with no idea about economics. They just ramble on with made up theories. Trump was the only guy in 50 years with 3.5% unemployment and 2% inflation. Nobody else did it. -

Honda CRV battery
GS is a good brand. I assume this is the petrol version and not the diesel? I use the diesel and it needs the efb battery. If yours needs the efb battery, use that. Don't use the standard battery. I'm not sure if the petrol version with idlestop needs the efb battery or not. -

Several neighbouring countries compete with Thailand for foreign retirees
The thing that gets me is I've been living in Thailand for the past 24 years. I've been married for 22 of those years. I've been very supportive of my wife, her 2 daughters, one with a partner and her unemployable brother who's since gone to Buddha. I can handle that but what I can't handle is being treated like a tourist who's just using Thailand as a cheap holiday destination. When I go back to my house on the outskirts of Bangkok I can't believe the difference in the cost of living. It just goes to show that everyone living in Pattaya is treated like a tourist irrespective how long you've lived there,
