PHUKET: The Phuket Tourist Association is collecting donations to provide relief for the sea gypsy villagers in the Surin Islands whose homes were devastated by fire last night (Feb 3).

National parks officers this morning confirmed that 67 homes were destroyed in the blaze, which tore through the village made of wooden shanties with thatch roofs.

No injuries were reported from the fire, which started shortly after 7pm.

I guess that many here would have made generous donations, but since they are 400.000 short....

leverito · yesterday at 08:43 AM1 day

Hello AN family! I'm going to be honest with you — I'm a bit tired and frustrated at this point, so I'm turning to this community with real hope! I have a Mac mini that needs to be properly connected to a monitor, and what sounds like a simple task has turned into quite an adventure. I've already welcomed several "specialists" from Tukom and nearby shops into my home — lovely people, but unfortunately none of them managed to finish the job properly. The monitor works, yes — but the picture qual

Why ..please tell , why are the ladyboy bars in straight bar areas and not in the gay precincts? Would they not do good business in the "gay precinct" areas of Pattaya ?

North Sea Row Explodes As War Drives Push For More Drilling Britain’s energy battle has flared into a full-blown political clash, as industry leaders demand a return to North Sea drilling while ministers double down on green power. Trade body Offshore Energies UK has warned the UK must “urgently” ramp up domestic oil and gas production — or risk dangerous dependence on imports in an increasingly unstable world. The warning comes as the war involving Iran has sent global energy markets into t

When the Iran War Ends What Would Constitute Victory for the US?

Alan Zweibel · yesterday at 04:43 PM1 day

Would only the unconditional surrender of the Iranian government qualify? Would survival of the government but surrender of their nuclear stockpile qualify? Would guarantees of freedom for the Iranian people along with the survival of the government qualify? Would freedom for the iranian people and surrender of the nuclear stockpile qualify? Would surivival of the government, no nuclear stockpile and cessation of support for allies outside the country qualify? Obviously, there are other possible

United States and Israel Launch Strikes on Iran The United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran early Saturday, marking a dramatic escalation after weeks of tense nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran. A U.S. official described the operation as “not a small strike,” while Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz called it a “preemptive” action. Israel simultaneously declared a nationwide state of emergency in anticipation of retaliation. Donald Trump: ‘Massive and On

If Trump puts boots on the ground in Iran, Congress should immediately impeach him. He would be doubling down on the miscalculation he made, and breaking one of his key election promises. If they don't, it will be further proof Americans are incapable of learning from history.

By the author and inline sources. Bras have been adapted and influenced by fashion, culture, and sexual tastes of the times. Athletic Olympian women wore bandeau-like strips of cloth worn by athletic women in ancient Greece. Pompeii: The Bikini Mosaic The history of the brassiere rather new. The French in the early 1500s invented the corset to given women an hourglass waste. Sometimes they could barely breathe. Most were shaped by whale-bone strips, causing the tops of the breasts to spill

[Opinion. Though I consider myself a strong proponent of women’s rights and equality. women dress to be appealing to men, esp while clubbing. These women are not naked or obscene. These are not covert upskirt or toilet videos. They’re of women out to get a little drunk and have a good time. Would you rather the men who watch these videos ‘grabbed them by the pussy’? Certainly, in Thailand this genre has taken off in ‘nightlife’ areas. Difference is, one doesn’t have to beg to take her home.
