Pastor Sparks Outrage with Fiery Sermon Advocating Violence Against Elon Musk
Oddly you omit the religious angle, you know the rote Jonny, ‘religion of hatred and violence’. Or do you give a Christian a pass on calling for violence where someone of some other religion saying the same things would have you ranting? -

More Thais Staying Single, Impact on Weddings and Florists
Photo courtesy of Thailand Foundation An increasing number of Thais are choosing to remain single, driven by changing social norms, financial pressures, and rising expectations for partners. This shift is affecting businesses tied to romance, such as wedding planners and flower shops. A 2023 survey by the National Statistical Office revealed that 20% of Thais are single, with the majority living in urban areas. Among those aged 15 to 49, who make up about 40.9% of the population, many are embracing a lifestyle focused on self-fulfillment, prioritizing travel, beauty, housing, and dining over marriage. Financial concerns are leading some to delay marriage, preferring to secure their future first. Many singles also have higher expectations for potential partners, including criteria like income and relationship history. Long working hours further limit social interactions needed to find partners. Setthawut Naruemityarn, owner of the Wedding is ME planning service, notes that while some financially secure Thai couples continue to marry, there is a trend toward smaller, less costly weddings. This reflects broader changes in Thai wedding customs, with a preference for intimate celebrations. Generational shifts are reshaping wedding traditions. While Baby Boomer parents often valued social status and lavish weddings, today’s Generation Y and Z prefer simpler, more personal events. Many couples infuse Western influences into their weddings, favoring smaller gatherings in cozy venues over grand hotel ballrooms. Thonglor Kulabsawat from Toi Flower Shop has noticed that younger generations are purchasing fewer flowers, opting for lifestyle gifts instead. To stay competitive, his shop is updating its designs and techniques. Despite changing trends, Thonglor is hopeful. As young people mature and expand their social circles, he anticipates more opportunities for flower purchases, reflecting life’s milestones and celebrations, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-13 -

Thai PM Considers Easing Alcohol Sales Rules to Boost Tourism
Completely ridiculous policy, both the daily sales ban and also the Budha Day sales ban! Achieves absolutely nothing whatsoever! Not that I give an actual rat's ass but can someone explain to me what it actually achieves?
