Jeju Air Flight from Bangkok Skids Off Runway at Muan Airport, 28 Dead
One of the posted video links clearly showed the starboard engine spitting out flames as it flew overhead. So that and the verbal calls about bird strike seem to line up. Plane may have been then leaking fuel and the pilot decided to get on the ground rather quickly. Reports seem to say the pilot did one go around which seems reasonable as he tries to sort things out. Not sure why gear didn't come down. Maybe pilot decided not to lower the gear because of fear it would cause too much drag and with only one engine he preferred to try and maintain speed and less drag. And it does look like the plane did not go out of its way to touchdown as early as possible on the runway. But that is probably normal behavior as the pilots nominally wait until they cross the touchdown threshold. So looks like a confluence of bad things happened. I still don't like the VOR or VORTAC or whatever part of the ILS was so close to the end of the runway. I would think modern avionics could could process the offset if the thing was moved out of the way a bit. Some parts of the 737 are composite non metallic and may make the plane a bit more slippery on the ground whereas aluminum might splinter, dig into the runway etc..? -

From seed to fortune: The Chearavanont family’s billion-dollar rise
Sure, kudos where deserved, that's a lot of coin. But let's be honest, typically a transition from a local shop to what they are now is not achieved by being nice or compassionate, and not without a helping hand from existing gatekeepers. -

Why some of us did not get COVID symptoms …even though we were exposed.
Yeah and I have a few quality screenshots of users of this site openly condoning this crime (and who would have been more than happy to send the unvaccinated to concentration camps). -

Yes, take her advice. I did hundreds of hours of online research and everything she says is spot on. -

Fatal Motorcycle Crash at Notorious Bend Sparks Local Superstition
Your figures (which you've taken from Compare the Market website). UK Yearly accidents 2022: 333,296 / 913 per day https://www.comparethemarket.com/car-insurance/news/road-traffic-accidents/ In 2022 the UK had: 1,695 road fatalities, Thailand Yearly accidents 2023: 939,713 / 2574 per day https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40023780?utm_source=chatgpt.com In 2023 the Thailand had: 14,737 road fatalities (in reality this figure is closer to 20,000 according to WHO estimates) Accidents Involving 4-Wheeled+ Vehicles As there no stats separating motorcycle accidents we have to 'assume that the proportion of accidents involving 4-wheeled+ vehicles matches their proportion in the total vehicle population. UK (96% of registered vehicles are 4 wheels or more) Accidents Involving 4-Wheeled+ Vehicles = 333,296 × 0.96 = 319,964 Thailand (33% of registered vehicles are 4 wheels or more) Accidents Involving 4-Wheeled+ Vehicles = 939,713 × 0.33 = 310,105 Fatality Rate per Accident for 4-Wheeled+ Vehicles Fatality Rate per Accident (UK) = 1,345 / 319,964 = 0.0042 fatalities per accident. Fatality Rate per Accident (Thailand) = 4,000 / 310,105 = 0.0129 fatalities per accident. The results reflect the proportionate involvement of 4-wheeled+ vehicles in accidents and highlight that the fatality rate per accident for Thailand is ~ 3x the UK. You quoted Benjamin Disraeli; "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics".. and the above information paints with a very board brush, nevertheless a picture is painted. Also note - people tend not to wear seatbelts in Thailand which also heavily impacts Thailands fatality statics and may also account for the 3x factor of deaths. But already the above information places the Thailand statistic a lot closer to the UK statistic than your TWELVE times... You studied road safety stats for 30 years you say ???... you completely ignored the proportional difference between motorcycles and cars between countries when making your comparison. You'll never admit that though, for contrary to what you post you are arguing a point and have in fact presented distorted stats to fit your conclusion. Below is an example of your Bias: The number you quoted is less than half of what is quoted by the nation. You fail to mention that the number of reported accidents might be higher for Thailand too, as not all accidents are reported. In fact as I pointed out earlier in the thread - the amount of reported accidents in the UK is probably much higher because of insurance excess - particularly minor accidents. Whereas in Thailand, its likely the amount of reported accidents is much higher because fewer people have insurance full stop. -

Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
No. I stated why it "could" (ie why it could be the extra work results in nothing happening). I never stated "will" . That is your deliberate misconstruing of another's post. I find it difficult to believe English is your first language given your inability to know the difference between "could" and "will ". Serious. Are you trying to invent someone to debate with by misconstruing their views? That is how it looks. Such misconstruing the views of others (when they state "could" as opposed to "will") shows a major effort on your part to deliberately misconstrue someone's elses post - probably to grind your own axe. As for reasons why such will (or wlll not) happen. I do NOT have reasons why it "WILL" or "WILL NOT" . OK? Lets be clear. As for reasons why it could happen, I think you stated such. OK? You really need to learn the difference between "will" and "could". I see no point in replying further on this, given you deliberately misconstrue what others state (or you simply do not understand differences in word use in the English language). EDIT: To help you here: "The main difference between "could" and "will" is that "could" suggests uncertainty or a conditional outcome, while "will" indicates a stronger intention or certainty." .
