Drug-Crazed Man Dies After Being Beaten by Mob Following Tractor Theft in Bangkok
UPDATE Tragic Death of Farmer in Bangkok: No Lynching Involved, Police Clarify Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A farmer from Chachoengsao driving an agricultural vehicle into Bangkok to see his family died under suspicious circumstances after a police chase on September 7, raising questions about the cause of his death. Initial rumors suggested that the man had been lynched, but police have denied these claims. The incident occurred late at night when local residents and police officers from Pathumwan district attempted to stop a man identified as Banchachai, who appeared to be intoxicated and driving recklessly in an "e-tak," a four-wheeled agricultural vehicle. The man had collided with several civilian vehicles in the Pathumwan and Huamark areas. As police attempted to control the situation, the man collapsed and was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Pathumwan police officers report that they fired at the tyres of the vehicle in an attempt to stop it. When they apprehended Banchachai, they found no personal identification but discovered methamphetamine pills and a bag of crystal meth, along with drug paraphernalia. He lost consciousness shortly after his arrest and passed away while en route to the hospital. The exact cause of death remains under investigation. Despite speculation of lynching, rescue workers who were on the scene reported no signs of physical assault on the deceased. Pol. Col. Pornthawee Somwong, the Huamark police chief, confirmed that the man was not a theft suspect and had driven from Chachoengsao to visit family in Bangkok. He also stated that there was no evidence of mob violence during the arrest, and the case is still under review, with CCTV footage being analyzed and witnesses questioned. Authorities are also awaiting autopsy results to determine the cause of death. Banchachai's family revealed that he had driven the vehicle from Bang Nam Priao district, Chachoengsao, to visit his wife and children in Huamark. The family collected his body from the Police General Hospital’s forensic unit and held a funeral in accordance with Islamic traditions in Bang Nam Priao. They expressed concerns over the unclear cause of death and called for further explanation from the police. -- 2024-09-08 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Last Time Refused Entry Retry Monday
I wouldn't be too sure that an 'unmarked' entry refusal goes in the database. Otherwise it would show on (for example) the CNX immigration officers computer. From what I understand from this forum is that many who were declined entry at DMK or HKT and didn't have any notation placed in their passport, easily entered via CNX. -

Pattaya Bar/Go-Go Death Watch
I should think just that one bar, and I agree with your reaction. However, one could always just give a name and number - doesn't have to be accurate. When the owner realises that, I imagine he'll drop the idea. As an aside, the waitresses in the Sports Hub on Soi Bukau were asking for customer's names to write on bills back in March this year. They were then confirming when you asked for the bill to pay. That particular bar was crowded and is, IMO, very well run. -

Just nearly sent me back home to Blighty.
Well it’s the day after the night before and I’ve just had a read through the usual Nasty TV crowds opinion on me following the rules. I’ve learned there’s no point responding to these types. Funny how you never get anyone speak like this to your face I’ve done nothing wrong. Why other members think I have is beyond me. Apart from the alternative of getting a 6months visa I can’t see what lines I’ve transgressed, in fact I’ve paid 2000 baht a go for visa extensions multiple times with indication that I was not following the rules. -

Baht becoming ridiculously strong
That's wrong. The ERM was very much related to fundamentals like inflation. Whilst under Lawson the British had shadowed the Deutschmark as an indicator to inflation, John Major's decision to join ERM was precisely to formalise this with the aim of keeping inflation down. "In 1989, the UK had inflation three times the rate of Germany, higher interest rates at 15%, and much lower labour productivity than France and Germany, which indicated the UK's different economic state in comparison to other ERM countries". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Wednesday That was the whole reason why the high interest rates the Bundesbank set for the ERM were not suitable for the UK, or Italy, at the time. However, due to national prestige, the Brits could not admit they made a mistake and their economy was to weak to keep pace with Germany, so their ability to adjust interet rates was inhibited. George Soros understood that the Brits had made a mistake by bringing the pound into the ERM at too high a rate, that inflation was too high in the UK at triple the German rate and the UK interst rates were hurting UK asset prices. The Italians had solved the problem by devaluing the Lira, however, the British thought this would cause further inflation for the pound, if it were devalued, which was correct. The remarks by the Bundesbank that there would have to be further devaluations set off a selling spree of the pound. The Brits tried to prop it up with buying interventions but did not succeed. They then raised the interest rate to tempt buyers to buy the pound, that too did not work. So ultimately Britain had to leave the ERM which is what Soros understood to be the most likely outcome and he made billions on this bet. As you can see, the ERM was highly related to inflation, and understanding all the fundamentals around the situation of the pound allowed Soros to make this bet. He had an edge. This is what truly successful traders try to do, to understand fundamentals in a way that allows them to predict what will happen. They then place trades based on that plan. They hold those trades for a long time. They are not day traders. -

Must Read Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
I'm a 179 dayer. A mate of mine that hates paying taxes and who pays no taxes at all, tells me I'm stupid, and that Thais cannot possibly tax income from abroad because they are too stupid. He's taking zero precautions. I just smiled. Better safe that sorry I say. I'm also 179 dayer this year, because I don't wish to file a tax return for 2024 taxes even though all the remittances made were from savings. For those that file a tax return this year, you do realise you are giving all of your details to the tax people here, which I think means they can question your taxes any time they wish to in the future. I feel rather safe than sorry should be the policy here. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Excellent work by Ukraine. Russia had no clue it was taking on such heroes and warriors. Let the doubters sit in their ivory towers doubting. Ukraine is here to stay Ukraine Has Invented Its Own Precision Glide Bomb. It Could Become A Key Weapon For Strikes On Targets In Russia. Every day, Russian warplanes lob as many as a hundred KAB glide bombs at Ukrainian troops and cities. The 25-mile-range bombs, some as heavy as three tons, are among the most devastating weapons in Russia’s 30-month wider war on Ukraine—and a crucial factor in Russia’s advances in eastern Ukraine this year. Now Ukraine is preparing to fight back—with its own glide bombs. A recent video shot by the crew of a Ukrainian air force Sukhoi Su-27 fighter depicts an air force Sukhoi Su-24 bomber carrying a prototype gliding munition under its wing. Not content to lob American-made JDAM-ER and French-made Hammer glide bombs, the Ukrainians clearly intend to arm their jets with locally made bombs, as well. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/09/07/ukraine-has-invented-its-own-precision-glide-bomb-it-could-become-a-key-weapon-for-strikes-on-targets-in-russia/ https://archive.ph/baPg8 -

Can you defend yourself?
Living here I feel pretty safe although I use to pack a 9mm, under my motorbike seat, thinking twice I remove it and replace it with a short 6 inch blade under a panel on the bike. Today all that is gone my key is my deadly weapon my demeanor is always be aware I never carry more than what I can lose. I never give anyone a dirty look or get upset I dont look for trouble. Once a year I go home to the States S.F.the day I arrive my cousin hands me the only one left to my name 9mm, I take public transportation everyehere. You never know, just like the football rooKie Ricky Persawl? Goes into town wearing his rolex 17 year old boy shot him in the chest. This is what happens when you got K. Harris Mayor and Prosectors running the zoo. -
