Given Biden's performance, graduating from kindergarten is sufficient to be a member of a US administration, IMO. -

Opening a Thai bank account as a foreigner questions
Another important point, but you probably already know this. NEVER transfer Baht (THB). Always order your home-country bank to transfer an amount in your home country's currency and let the conversion to THB be made by your Thai bank. You get a much better exchange rate this way. -

British Tourist Attacked in Pattaya: Nose Broken, Eye Bruised; Authorities on the Hunt
The combination of sh*t-faced drunk and out late at night alone could prove fatal in many cities in the world. In my working years, I lived in, worked in or visited many, many cities across the globe. The nine years I lived in Pattaya as a retired person were among the safest I experienced anywhere. I don't think being drunk, even sh*t-faced, is enough in and of itself to get you in trouble in Pattaya. A drunk tourist or expat, whatever his nationality, will have to pick a fight with someone for things to turn violent. Exceptions may exist, but they are rare, very rare. -

Los Angeles Takes a Stand as an Immigration 'Sanctuary'
Sounds like ICE may enforce the aiding and abetting law which is a felony if you are guilty. They should prepare to lose a ton of federal funds. -

Zelensky knows the game is up.
Putin started the escalation by adding foreign (North Koreans) into the fray. The West responded by allowing missile strikes into western Russia. This is a good strategy by the West. Putin will be hoping Trump intervenes when he becomes president in 2 months. Putin can't escalate the conflict further without the risk of putting Trump offside. From Trump's perspective, his negotiating hand has been strengthened for when he does become president. He has more to trade if he really wants to end the war. Onviously the only possible negotiated solution is for Russia to keep all the territory it has annexed and for Ukraine to join NATO. There is no other 'security gaurantees' Russia can offer as it has already broken so many previous agreements. In regard to the North Korean troops, I hope Ukraine opens a huge propaganda campaign aimed at those troops using Internet, letter drops and every other means. The messages, in Korean, will tell the soldiers if they give up to Ukaranian troops they will be kept safe, never returned to North Korea and will be resettled in South Korea. A chance fora new life! In any case, just the threat of desertions would stop Russia/North Korea from deploying North Korean troops on the front line. -

Trump’s Justice Department: Fear and Fallout as Revenge Prosecutions Loom
Yes, the Roman Empire took centuries before the barbarians walked in an took over. The British empire ended rather more quickly, and I'm expecting ours to go out with a whimper before the end of this century. People often say that the US is an example of what happens when you take any body that turns up ( the melting pot ). They used to say that in approval, but one can now have other opinions given the present fiasco. Perhaps when it's all over, the only survivors will be the Native Americans who can then return to tribal warfare and living in tents. -

Police Bust Counterfeit Milk Network, Seize Over 4 Million Baht Worth of Fake Products
Authorities from the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), led by the Consumer Protection Police Division (CPPD), have dismantled a counterfeit network selling fake Ensure Gold powdered milk. The operation resulted in the seizure of 5,370 cans of the fraudulent product across 13 items, with an estimated total value of 4.5 million baht. The proliferation of online sales platforms has made health products more accessible but has also increased the prevalence of counterfeit goods. Following complaints from consumers and reports from the manufacturer, police discovered fake Ensure Gold products being sold online. This powdered milk, marketed for seniors at risk of malnutrition, is often used as a primary or supplementary meal. Consumption of counterfeit products could lead to health risks, as they may lack the expected nutrients or contain harmful substances. On November 15, officers from CPPD Unit 4 executed search warrants at two locations in Nakhon Chai Si District, Nakhon Pathom: 1. Packing Facility: A residential property in Khun Kaew Subdistrict was found to house 1,535 counterfeit cans of Ensure Gold (vanilla flavor, 850g) and related packing equipment. A man named Mr. Monop and a woman named Ms. Wiriya were arrested while packing products for shipment. 2. Storage Facility: Another residential property in the same area contained 3,840 counterfeit cans of Ensure Gold (vanilla flavor, 850g) and packing materials. A Chinese national, Mr. Chen, claimed ownership of the site. In total, 5,375 cans of counterfeit products and related items were seized from the two locations. The counterfeit network advertised fake products online, using Chinese-language store names and offering the milk powder at discounted prices (690 baht for an 850g can, compared to the usual 1,000+ baht). The network frequently changed store names to evade detection. The operation employed local residents for packing and shipping, promising monthly wages of 15,000 to 30,000 baht. A suspect revealed that they were hired by a Chinese individual, Mr. Wang, to pack and dispatch orders daily through private courier services. In just 15 days, the team now handled 100–200 orders per day. Samples of the counterfeit product will be tested by the Department of Medical Sciences to identify any prohibited substances. If found unsafe, the perpetrators could face additional charges under the Food Act, which imposes penalties of up to two years in prison, a fine of up to 20,000 baht, or both. Currently, the following charges apply: 1. Selling counterfeit food: Punishable by 6 months to 10 years in prison and a fine of 5,000 to 100,000 baht. 2. Selling mislabeled food products: Punishable by a fine of up to 30,000 baht. Authorities urge the public to be cautious when approached with offers to pack and ship products, as they may unknowingly participate in illegal activities. Picture courtesy of CIB -- 2024-11-20
