Motorcyclist Killed in Collision with Turning Pickup Truck in Nonthaburi
Picture from responders. A crash claimed the life of a young motorcyclist after a collision with a pickup truck in Bang Yai District, Nonthaburi, on the morning of December 21. The incident occurred at approximately 10:00 on a road alongside the Khlong Prapa canal in Moo 10, Ban Mai Subdistrict. Police from Bang Mae Nang Police Station, along with a medical examiner from the Institute of Forensic Science and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, rushed to the scene after receiving the report. Upon arrival, authorities found a grey Isuzu pickup truck with front-end damage, parked across the road. The motorcycle, a black-and-red Honda Click, registration from Bangkok, was lodged at the front of the pickup. The motorcyclist, a man estimated to be aged 20-25, was thrown from his vehicle upon impact and died instantly. No identification documents were found on the deceased. CCTV footage from the area captured the moment the accident occurred. The footage shows the pickup truck making a sudden right turn, cutting across the path of the oncoming motorcycle. The motorcyclist, travelling at speed, collided forcefully with the front of the truck, causing him to be thrown to the ground. The pickup driver told police that he had been driving along the road and was turning right into a car modification shop when the motorcycle, approaching at high speed, crashed into his vehicle. Police have documented the scene and taken an initial statement from the pickup driver. Further questioning of the driver and eyewitnesses will be conducted to determine the precise cause of the incident. The body of the deceased has been transferred to the Institute of Forensic Science for an autopsy. Authorities have stated that the investigation is ongoing. -- 2024-12-23 -

Foreign Tourist Swallows Traffic Ticket in Odd Pattaya Incident
Not all black people come from Africa, so it's necessary to use various terms, I presume that calling someone black is a bad thing in thai culture, asian beauty standards value white skin so maybe it's something to do with that. -

Foreign Tourist Swallows Traffic Ticket in Odd Pattaya Incident
There is a lot of what about ism I'm often driving 2nd road beach road or 3rd road the amount of bikers with no helmets is probably 1helmet for 4 without. As said thais also get tickets but at a lesser % but if continuous fines is what it takes to comply let it be I'm sure some take the hint and start wearing a helmet may have saved a few lives I say let the checks continue -

This is just one of the reasons why AI is so dangerous. It is coming to the point that one does not know who or what to trust, especially anything from the government. -

O. Henry: The Gift of the Magi. The saddest Christmas story of all time?
Dear Brethren, If one ever wished to read a Christmas story that is almost guaranteed to have us crying in our beer, then O. Henry takes the cake, just for writing the saddest one of all. And, if you wish to know the full meaning of pathos, then read this one and weep. And, the Three Wise Men, including O. Henry, came to Pete's Tavern, where The Gift of the Magi...was written...or so... It was written. Every time I read this story, I cannot help but shed a tear in my beer, for this sad pair, so poor, and yet so content in their poverty. I am crying now, just thinking about the last time I read this account, written by O. Henry. O.Henry is not one of my favorite authors. I would not even consider him to be an author, so much as he is just a cheap tear-jerker. Still, leading up to Christmas, 2024, I think, considering recent world events, his story of the Magi might be less unpleasant than other things happening today. So then, why not read it once again, and shed a tear, since the cathartic value in doing so, just might do us some good, and probably so little else will. How sad are the events of this year, anyway? We could count the ways, but we should not, just before decking our halls with holly, lest our frivolity might become dampened. O. Henry, apparently, wrote his famous story at some tavern in NYC. And since that time, school children have been plagued and depressed by the reading of it. Christmas is not a very happy time, when you really look closely at it. Christmas is a time of sweet sorrow, mixed emotions, and dipsomania in order to cope with the manic-depression of the season. I never liked Christmas, even though I was forced to participate when young. Thankfully, after first arriving in Asia, I found salvation in the celebration of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which has always been a happy time for both me and all my many Chinese Friends. Passover and Seder, when I was young, was also a very happy time, at least in my neighborhood. So, I guess I am not like most other Gentiles. O. Henry? Some guys like him. Maybe I will try to re-read his stories, this Christmas holiday, with new understanding, now that I am older. What do people really SEE in this Christmas holiday….because I do not know. Christmas has always been stressful for me, and almost everyone I have ever known. Maybe it will be better, this year, and I hope so. But, I doubt it. What’s to be said for Christmas, that is good? Well. We know that Christmas ‘tis the season to be jolly. This is about all I know of Christmas, other than Christmas spirit, which comes in a bottle for many, about this time of year. What is your favorite spirit, on Christmas Eve….anyway? When I had the inclination to waste money on spirits, during the Christmas season, I would have chosen some type of Irish whisky, and something expensive. And, after reading the entire story, The Gift of the Magi, I guess almost anyone would need an entire bottle of it. Do you enjoy O. Henry, on a Christmas Eve? More power to you, then. Please, don’t cry. Gamma Note: Let’s all add a SAD emoji, in remembrance of Christmases gone by. Note2: Emphasizing the Positive, though, we know that all good things will soon pass, and after the New Year, these holidays will be, thankfully, behind us…until next year…. Note3. At the very least, and which is no small thing, I am just so extremely grateful to be living in Thailand, and Asia, where, this year, I have not heard even one Christmas carol…and I thank my lucky stars of Bethlehem!!!! Big Time, as Trump might say! Note4: I hate world poverty. After the Christmas holiday is over with,and before we travel with Musk to Mars, we really must stamp it out. Note5: Fortunately for those now in Thailand, there will be neither Jingle-Bells nor sadness. Thank you, Thailand! Thailand is always good to us Farang, every Christmas. -

Chai Nat: Heavy Drinking to Stay Warm Leads to Noodle Seller’s Death on the Road
Picture from responders. In an incident in Chai Nat province, a chicken noodle vendor succumbed to heavy drinking in an attempt to stay warm during the cold weather, collapsing and passing away inside his vehicle in the middle of a busy road. His distraught wife, upon arriving at the scene, was overcome with grief, her cries moving onlookers to tears. Police Lieutenant Colonel Chaimongkol Mueansonthi of Sapphaya Police Station, along with rescue volunteers from Ruamkatanyu Foundation and a duty doctor from Sankhaburi Hospital, rushed to the site on Highway 3010 in Huai Krot, Sankhaburi District. There, they discovered a white Ford pickup truck, registered in Bangkok, parked in the middle of the road, causing a significant traffic jam. Inside the vehicle, on the driver’s seat, lay the lifeless body of Mr. Burapa Usaprom, 44, a resident of Sapphaya District. He was wearing an apron and slumped against an empty bottle of homemade liquor. In the back of the truck were multiple bags containing chicken parts, such as legs, wings, and feet, alongside fresh vegetables, supplies he had purchased for his noodle business. According to preliminary findings, it is believed the deceased suffered from alcohol poisoning, leading to a fatal heart failure. The body has been sent to the forensic institute at Sawanpracharak Hospital in Nakhon Sawan for further investigation into the exact cause of death. Reports reveal that Mr. Burapa was a chicken noodle vendor who purchased supplies every morning to prepare for his daily business. Known to be a heavy drinker, he consumed alcohol throughout the day, particularly during the cold season, when he frequently sipped to stay warm. On the day prior to his death, he reportedly consumed three to four bottles of alcohol by himself. He continued drinking heavily the following morning, ultimately leading to the fatal collapse. The scene became even more heartrending when his wife arrived, wailing uncontrollably and drawing sympathy from bystanders who watched the devastating loss unfold. -- 2024-12-23
