Customer Argument Over Motorbike Leads to Shooting in Bang Phli
Picture from responders. A dispute between two customers at a motorbike repair shop in Bang Phli, Samut Prakan, escalated into violence when one man opened fire, leaving the other injured. The incident took place at a repair shop in Bang Phli Yai on the morning of March 10. According to police reports, the altercation began when 30-year-old Rojaksak “Tik” Phusawat brought his motorcycle to the shop for custom modifications. While a mechanic was moving Tik’s bike, its footrest accidentally scraped against the carbon-fibre exhaust cover of another customer, Thanakorn Khamasawat, 28. Thanakorn, who claimed the carbon-fibre design was a one-of-a-kind custom order, became enraged, leading to a heated argument between the two men. The situation escalated into a physical fight, prompting shop employees to intervene and send Tik home in an attempt to defuse the situation. However, Tik soon returned to the shop, and another fight broke out. This time, he drew a firearm and fired two shots at Thanakorn, hitting him in the left leg and causing a fractured bone. Thanakorn also sustained a head injury during the altercation. Tik then fled the scene. Police from Bang Kaeo Police Station launched an immediate investigation. CCTV footage showed Tik and three associates arriving at the scene on motorbikes prior to the shooting. Officers later tracked him down near his home in Soi Triumph, Bang Phli Yai, where he was arrested along with the firearm and ammunition used in the attack. During questioning, Tik claimed he acted in self-defence, alleging that Thanakorn had attempted to stab him with a pair of scissors. He insisted that he only fired at the ground, but the bullet accidentally struck Thanakorn. Tik admitted to purchasing the firearm illegally in Chachoengsao for 10,000 baht. Police have charged him with attempted murder and firearms offences, including possession of an unlicensed firearm and carrying a firearm in public without authorisation. Investigators are also reviewing evidence to determine whether any of Tik’s associates were involved in the incident. Authorities have noted that Tik has a criminal history, having previously faced an attempted murder charge in 2013, though he was acquitted on self-defence grounds. The case remains under investigation as police work to verify the origins of the firearm and identify any additional suspects. -- 2025-03-12 -

British Couple's Thailand Dream Becomes Legal Nightmare
Why do people still invest money in this country ? Own a property or properties back in your own "farangland" where there is transparency and rule of law . Then just rent here in Thailand this way if you have bad neighbors or the country/government begins to go to 💩 you can just pack up and move 👍🏼 -

Canada Reverses Electricity Export Charge Following Trump’s Tariff Threat
Ontario Premier Doug Ford swiftly reversed his decision to impose a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to the United States just hours after President Donald Trump announced new tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. Initially introduced as a retaliatory measure against Trump’s trade policies, Ford’s plan was short-lived as economic pressure mounted on both sides of the border. Ford, the conservative leader of Ontario, took to X to explain that he had a “productive conversation” with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick regarding the economic relationship between Canada and the United States. Following this discussion, Ford agreed to suspend the surcharge, which would have impacted electricity exports to Michigan, New York, and Minnesota. Lutnick has arranged a meeting with Ford and the U.S. Trade Representative in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to discuss revisions to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the trade deal governing economic exchanges between the three North American nations. In light of this development, Ford agreed to back down on his electricity surcharge. His reversal came shortly after Trump ramped up pressure, threatening to double the 25% tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, declare a national emergency for areas affected by the surcharge, and impose additional tariffs on Canadian automobiles that could "essentially, permanently shut down the automobile manufacturing business in Canada." Trump also reiterated his desire to bring Canada into the U.S. as its 51st state. Had the electricity surcharge taken effect, Ontario residents could have seen their electrical bills rise by as much as $100 per month, Ford warned. Trump, in response to Ford’s initial move, issued a forceful statement on Truth Social: “They will pay a financial price for this so big that it will be read about in History Books for many years to come!” Ford originally announced the surcharge on Monday as retaliation against Trump’s proposed 25% tariff on Canadian goods and a 10% tariff on energy exports. Although Trump had delayed implementing these tariffs, Ford’s aggressive stance was meant to preemptively counteract the potential economic damage. Ford has consistently opposed Trump’s trade policies, arguing they would disproportionately harm Canada’s already fragile economy. He has even suggested taking more extreme measures, including halting energy exports to the United States entirely. “I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why this guy’s attacking his closest neighbors, allies and friend. A tariff on Canada is a tax on Americans,” Ford said last week during a press conference. Following Ford’s decision to retract the surcharge, Trump indicated that he would likely reconsider his proposed 50% increase on tariffs for Canadian aluminum and steel. “I’m looking at that, but probably so — I’ll let you know about it,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday. The situation underscores the volatility of U.S.-Canada trade relations under Trump’s administration and highlights the delicate balancing act required to navigate cross-border economic policies.
