Amulets save teenagers’ lives in Phatthalung shooting
Five teenagers narrowly escaped a terrifying encounter when four men on motorcycles pursued and fired shots at them. Despite the attack, the injuries sustained by two young women, sitting on the back of the motorbike, were minor, attributed to the protection of sacred amulets they wore. The incident unfolded yesterday at approximately 10.30pm yesterday, November 13, in the Na Noth area, located in the Mueang district of Phatthalung province. Local police received a distress call reporting a shooting with injuries, prompting them to rush to the scene alongside the Na Noth municipal rescue team. The confrontation occurred in front of a tyre repair shop, where police officers found two injured women. Identified as 18 year old Phornchanok and Benjawan, also 18, both sustained bruises and minor wounds from the gunfire. Phornchanok suffered a deeper wound on her heel, with a bullet lodged inside, necessitating urgent medical attention at Phatthalung Hospital. “It’s miraculous and unbelievable that despite being fired at with a shotgun, the injuries were only superficial.” Phornchanok’s boyfriend, 18 year old Thanabat, explained that he, along with his girlfriend, his brother, and two friends, had left their home in Ban Khai Thai, Mueang district, to celebrate a friend’s birthday in Ban Lameng, Khlong Chaloem subdistrict, Kong Ra district. As they approached the crime scene, two motorcycles, each carrying two men, approached them with headlights dimmed. While pausing on the roadside to consult a GPS for directions, the two motorcycles, which had previously passed them, returned and opened fire, discharging two shots. The bullets struck Phornchanok and Benjawan, who were riding pillion. In a panic, the group fled the scene, covering a distance of 4 kilometres to seek help from locals. Upon arrival at the hospital, doctors provided immediate care, confirming that the gunshot wounds were largely superficial bruises. Benjawan sustained a minor heel injury, which was not life-threatening. Both Phornchanok and Benjawan attribute their miraculous escape to the protective power of sacred objects they carried. Phornchanok wore a talisman from Wat Chedi Ai Khai in Nakhon Si Thammarat, while Benjawan had an old 10-satang coin tied to her wrist. Their belief in these amulets’ protective properties is strong, leading them to feel that they have been shielded from greater harm. The police are actively investigating the incident, working to identify and apprehend the four individuals involved in the attack. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, and officers are urging anyone with information to come forward to aid in the investigation, reported KhaoSod.

Running Out Of Money. Need Advice.
You don't get it. People lose their minds when they enter an airport. I've had drunks at 6am, but apparently it's 5pm somewhere in the world. I've been spat at when someone shows up after the boarding is complete and doors are closed Verbal tirades are par for the course And of course we're in the middle of a blizzard planes can't land and you have a spittle spewing woman screaming at you saying she has to be in Chicago by 2pm for her daughters wedding. Well you know what, it's February, plan to travel a couple of days ahead, cos surprise surprise planes don't land or take off when a runway is covered in snow My favorite was the crazy preacher who barged past the gate agent through the security door onto the ramp, plane was pushing, because he had a sermon to preach that night in TX. He ended up in jail for the night! Yeah, people are idiots in airport. Just just terms of carriage when you book the ticket and you'll be fine. But don't blame the person checking you in if you don't follow the conditions. At check in very little they can do the override the software -

Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
Without doubt there will be increasingly more foreigner residents who will file a tax return thanks to because of the scaremongering propaganda pushed here and there. Still, in my opinion, the big majority of this population will not be making themselves aware to the TRD, awaiting to see concrete tax enforcement (audit + penalties) broadly happening to individuals in the real world. -

The Investing Year Ahead
Good Fund Managers are hard to find, they come and go....sometimes they are good, sometimes they aren't. Nick Train is one example, at one stage he was touted as the UK's Warren Buffet,...until he wasn't. But while he was good, he was very good. Simon Edeleston is another, the team running Royal London Equity Select are yet another. I personally like consistent FM's, Paul Niven at Columbia Threadneedle is one of my favorites. There are loads out there, you just have to look, the Citywire link is useful for this purpose. https://citywire.com/selector/sector/equity-global-growth/i3745?utm_medium=website&utm_source=citywire_global&utm_campaign=asset-class-page-league-table&utm_content=h18 I think people get hung up about the cost of managed funds vs the cost of index funds and ETF's. I don't care what managed fund managers charge, as along as they are good and they return me the profit I expect but I typically wont pay more than 0.75%. So I can get something similar for 0.05%, so what, you have to be able to pick it in the first place using what as a the criteria! And when an Index slides you have to ride it all the way down, there's no get out as there can be with managed funds. It's personal preference. -

Thinking about a sex change before trip to Malaya: Any words of advice?
Why is it no American I meet has ever heard of John D MacDonald? One of your greatest authors. So good his book The Executioners was made into the film "Cape Fear" not once, but twice. Max Cady was acted by Robert Mitchum, the later version was Robert DeNiro.
