Hong Kong Tourist Attacked by Condo Security Guards in Pattaya
I believe so. However, the juristic person and the committee will have a policy on this. Given this is Central Pattaya, i.e. tourist central, I doubt the law would be enforced and short term stays and the revenue they bring would be enthusiastically encouraged! -

Hotel Fire Near Khao San Road Leaves 3 Dead, Many Rescued From Roof
That well and good because you will know there is a fire but it won't do you much good if the fire doors and emergency exits are locked or blocked with old beds and furniture and rubbish as I discovered in a big hotel in the Nana area years ago and immediately informed the Manager. -

Teenager Dies After Gun Misfire in Samut Prakan
I remember a similar kind of shooting incident when we were shooting on a range near Thetford, the range office called to stop firing and the one person pulled the slide back and cleared the gun then dropped the gun down below his waist and pressed the trigger, one bullet was still in the barrel and it entered the top of his leg severing an artery. The police came and interviewed the few people who had not already quickly left.... -

Is it starting?
They most certainly do. Every year approx. 70 ships are lost at sea. Hundreds have serious problems. As I write, the St Lawrence Seaway is disrupted because a vessel lost power and ran aground a few days ago. The Dali hit the Baltimore bridge last March causing the bridge to collapse and killing six construction workers. The ship lost power before veering off course and striking the bridge. Back in 2022, Atlantic had a pretty good story highlighting the problems with international shipping; Felicity Ace is currently afire and adrift in the Atlantic Ocean, off the Azores, with a reported 4,000 cars on board, including Porsches, Bentleys, and Audis. The crew abandoned the vessel, en route to the United States, last week, and firefighters are now trying to control the blaze. In January, a different container ship, the Madrid Bridge, limped into the port of Charleston, South Carolina, after losing about 60 containers at sea. Pictures of the vessel showed one row of the metal boxes collapsed and teetering over the gunwale. A week later, an oil-storage vessel exploded off the coast of Nigeria. Within days, a Mauritian oil tanker had run aground off Reunión in the Indian Ocean. In Peru, workers are still cleaning up a spill that, according to some accounts, occurred when a tanker was rocked by tsunami waves. Experts are nervously watching another tanker off the coast of Yemen, which is slowly disintegrating in the midst of a war and an existing humanitarian crisis. Russian fleet like much of the world's fleet is not well maintained because it costs money and many operators believe the vessels are not worth the effort. The sailors' lives are put at risk because of that mindset. -
