Appeal Launched for British Teacher Gravely Injured in Thailand Crash
Truly awful journalism, with the shameless desperation of a scam. After reading this puff piece, expect Mr Davis to become a multimillionaire based on donations. -

surgery for enlarged prostate.
The way you explained it, he appeared to generalize about an operation that thousands and thousands of men have found lasting relief from. If he'd said that you, personally, would be "looking at 6-12 months of pain and uncontrollable leaking", that would be one thing. As someone who's actually HAD the Rezum procedure, his generalization was BS. -

Thailand Moves to End New Year Drink-Driving Crisis
Thailand braces for a safer new year as the government unveils a comprehensive plan to control alcohol-related accidents during the festive season. Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin has revealed a four-pronged strategy by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Committee to address the rise in drink-fuelled mishaps, a grim aspect of the otherwise joyous holidays across the country. Drink-driving has unfortunately become a significant concern during national festivities in Thailand, often leading to tragic accidents. This new plan is a promising step towards breaking this hazardous pattern and ensuring a safer environment for citizens. As per data, a staggering 4,777 incidents involving injuries and fatalities were directly linked to alcohol consumption. In addition, 3,370 cases of drunk driving were recognized among 23,902 alcohol tests conducted at community checkpoints. The initiative centres on robust enforcement of laws, public awareness campaigns, and grassroots risk prevention strategies. Additionally, it pushes for strict adherence to existing laws. The objective is to sever the lethal coupling between holiday merriment and road disasters that have become all too common. Adding to the debates, some contentious propositions are to be discussed. The State Railway of Thailand is advocating the removal of the alcohol ban in railway stations and trains. While the Thai Hotels Association got approval for alcoholic beverages to be served in guest rooms. The Subcommittee on Legislative Drafting and Revision is considering prospective amendments to the 2008 Alcoholic Beverage Control Act. Minister Somsak was unequivocal about the government's goal, affirming: "We aim to create a safer environment for everyone during the new year festivities by implementing these measures." This commitment by the Thai Government is more than a new year's resolution. It is a pledge to protect lives by combating alcohol-induced accidents. It gives hope for a more responsible and safer festive season for all. As the new year approaches, it is not just about new beginnings but also about introducing an era of safety and accountability. So, here's raising a toast to that! File photo for reference only -- 2024-11-20 -

Trat: Man punches woman unconscious due to sarcastic remarks
A violent altercation occurred last night when a man repeatedly punched a woman until she lost consciousness, leaving her with a swollen face. The incident took place in a rented room in Trat province, following a drinking session where the woman reportedly made several sarcastic remarks. Despite warnings, the man lost patience, resulting in the assault. Trat City Police received an emergency call at around 10.40pm yesterday, November 19, reporting a serious physical altercation with one injured party at a rented room in Soi Tung Kok, Village 1, Wang Krachae subdistrict, Mueang district, Trat province. Upon notification, Police Lieutenant Somchok Thipayot, head of the Trat City Patrol, coordinated with Sawang Boon Rescue in Trat to attend the scene. They found the victim, 55 year old Suphap, unconscious with a swollen and bruised face, bleeding from her mouth and nose. Initial first aid was administered before she was transferred to Trat Hospital for further treatment. The alleged perpetrator was identified as 52 year old Adichat. Adichat explained that he worked as a labourer and had previously rented a room in the area before moving away for work. Upon returning, he has been staying with friends for over a month. On the evening of the incident, after finishing work, he sat down to drink whiskey with friends, as was their usual routine. Suphap joined the group for drinks. As the evening progressed, the friends departed, leaving Adichat and Suphap. She began making sarcastic remarks, particularly about him temporarily staying with friends. Despite his requests for her to stop, Suphap continued, prompting Adichat to punch her several times until she was knocked out. He admitted his actions were driven by frustration over her constant taunts during their drinking sessions. The owner of the rented room, 52 year old Wassana stated that both parties regularly drank together. Before the incident, she was alerted that a fight might break out between the two. Rushing to the scene, she found Suphap lying on the floor, shouting abuse at Adichat. Despite Wassana’s attempts to intervene and advise them to call it a night, the situation escalated, resulting in Adichat assaulting Suphap. Meanwhile, Suphap’s husband was incapacitated due to intoxication and unable to help, said Wassana. “Both of them frequently drink together. That night, I was woken up by someone warning me about a potential fight. When I arrived, Suphap was already on the floor, and Adichat was still angry.” The police are investigating the matter further, considering the potential charges against Adichat for the assault, reported KhaoSod.
