The Final Breakdown: Do you think Thailand will ever get Power-Delivery...right???
In the north at least these tend to happen at the start of rainy season. I think growth from the previous year accumulates and then dries out in the winter/summer and when the first rains come branches come down. In fact just this evening the power has flickered on and off a few times for 10-20 minutes. Must have been a storm somewhere and they're working to fix downed lines. We're now getting some summer storms and the first rains in 5 months and I've seeing the broken branches all over. -

Baiyoke Tower Heir Resolves Misinformation Dispute Amicably
Photo courtesy of Thairath In an effort to quell public fear following false rumours about the Baiyoke Tower's condition after an earthquake, Piyalert "Beer" Baiyoke, heir to the iconic Bangkok skyscraper, has resolved an issue concerning misinformation on Facebook. The claim, suggesting the tower was tilting and cracking, was baseless yet stirred significant concern. Beer Baiyoke initially planned legal action against the individual responsible for the post, who responded provocatively when contacted. However, public backlash against the spreader for their behaviour led to an eventual change in the user's demeanour. While abroad with his family, Beer announced via social media that he had decided to drop legal proceedings after the user sincerely apologised. Beer explained, "Even if I won the lawsuit, I would have donated the money anyway." Expressing gratitude to his legal team and police, Beer requested that the Facebook user donate to a children's hospital, emphasizing ongoing philanthropic efforts. "We often make donations to children, so consider this a bridge for charity," he stated, drawing a positive closure to the episode. This resolution not only dispels any remaining fears about Baiyoke Tower's integrity but also highlights an opportunity for goodwill, allowing Beer to focus on quality family time during his travels, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-02 -

Influencer Condemns Assault at Shelter for Earthquake Victims in Bangkok
Photo via Facebook/ กันจอมพลัง ช่วยสู้ A distressing incident marred efforts to support relatives of earthquake victims today in Bangkok, where a Thai social media influencer condemned a drunk man for sexually assaulting a victim's relative at a temporary shelter. This shelter, established in response to the tragic building collapse in the Chatuchak area due to the Myanmar earthquake's aftershocks, has provided refuge for relatives of the 15 deceased construction workers, with 72 still missing. Many relatives, having traveled from other provinces, lack the means for accommodation, prompting Guntouch "Gun" Pongpaiboonwet to act. Gun, an influencer, coordinated with JJ Mall near Chatuchak Weekend Market to offer air-conditioned tents with beds and essentials. However, the situation turned grim when an unnamed drunk Thai man exploited the chaos to sexually assault a vulnerable relative within the shelter. Gun addressed the incident on his Facebook page around midnight, April 2, condemning the act and revealing his anger towards the suspect. "My shelter doesn’t welcome this kind of person," Gun declared, describing the assailant as a "drunk and disgusting homeless man." The man also attempted to harm a member of Gun's team, prompting Gun to personally remove him. Witnesses and team members reportedly confronted the suspect before Gun's intervention. Through his post, Gun warned against similar misconduct at his shelter, implying severe consequences for repeat offenders. It remains unclear if the incident was reported to the police, although legal repercussions for such an offense include imprisonment between four to 20 years and fines from 80,000 to 400,000 baht under Section 276 of the Criminal Law. Meanwhile, investigations continue into the building collapse. The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) is probing potential contractor corruption involving China Railway Number 10 (CREC No.10). Search operations, aided by K-9 units, persist in hopes of finding survivors amidst the rubble, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-02
