Residents Fear for Their Safety as Land Subsides Under Village Road: Near Pattaya
Actually called (in Google Maps) - Soi Mu Ban Classic Home 2. Lol - I've gone around that puddle a dozen or so times on soi Padtanakan 4 (short-cutting between Khao Talo and Thung Klom-Tan Man 9), and never knew it was there. I can see why the residents are nervous. There's a large housing development (Classic Home 1, 2 and 3) on the other side of that brick wall. Some houses are literally right against that wall. Here is the Sept 2023 Google Street View Image: And here is the "satellite view" (the road is on the left side of the pond). The "village - and most of the sois on that side of Soi Khao Noi (or Boon Samphan) all slant downhill towards that pond. I imagine there was a lot of water flowing down there during that last few monsoons we've had. And I wouldn't dip my toe in that "swimming pond". There are "recycling" and "garbage dump" places off to the right side of that pond and you can bet that water wouldn't be safe to drink - in most western countries. -

Expert Urges Government To Raise Tax For Foreign Condo Buyers
Surely for condo owner-occupiers, too. That many foreigners chose to live outside the normal legal structures of Thailand doesn't change these structures. Of course, it's easier that way - but buying a condo without having a housebook is almost like buying a condo without a chanote (I know, some people do that). There are even educated middle-class Thais who buy, own and sell condos and don't give a shít about housebooks. But this still doesn't change the legal structure (which is followed by most Thais). Many people think this is Kansas 1840 - no laws, no law-enforcement, no administration. But this isn't Kansas anymore. -

Labour Leaders to Reject Free Clothing: Starmer and Rayner Announce Change
Or maybe simply make a rule that states all donations need to be,and remain anonymous, putting it into practice might be challenging, but not for long . All the donations would soon dry up once the sponsors realised they had nothing to gain. -

Beer drinking in Thailand: Does Leo preserve brain-cells better than Chang?
Actually it's not so much the beer as the snacks that often come with it. Drinking arouses the appetite (to be ahead of the funny guys: yes, not only for food). I can tell from own experience: love to drink beer but don't snack, constant weight (BMI<25) for over 10 years. -

4 dead, 17 injured in shooting in Birmingham, Alabama
The Republican Party refuses to do anything meaningful to address gun control, and neither will Trump. Therefore some of this blood is on their hands, and they have to take some responsibility for the continuation of mass shootings in America. -

Truck Crash on Expressway: 16 Vehicles Wrecked, 17 Injured
I fail to see where any reply on the OP relates to your perceived 'racist predudices'. Are you only on here to bait people? -

Are these people stark raving mad?
It has everything to do with capitalism. Keeping wages low, exploiting the poor, makes for enormous profits. Apple and the luxury brands industry use cheap labour anywhere and everywhere. Back street Bangladeshi sweat shops knocking out Gucci and Nike and getting paid peanuts. How else do you think people get fabulously rich? And billions inescapably poor.- 1

Are these people stark raving mad?
As we're most all prospering nations at that time and before so check your history facts. If your country wasn't using slave labor then it was thru military conquest of the Europeans or any number of other countries invading and taking what wasn't there's before them. There are no innocent countries when you actually look at history. -

Chinese Woman Arrested at Phuket Airport For Using Other Person’s Passport
That can be fixed too : A Chinese woman managed to enter Japan illegally by having plastic surgery to alter her fingerprints, thus fooling immigration controls, police claim. xxxxxxxxx, 27, had previously been deported from Japan for overstaying her visa. She was only discovered when she was arrested on separate charges. Tokyo police said she had paid $15,000 (£9,000) to have the surgery in China. It is Japan's first case of alleged biometric fraud, but police believe the practice may be widespread. Japanese police suspect Chinese brokers of taking huge sums to modify fingerprints surgically. Local media reports said Ms xxxxxxx had undergone surgery to swap the fingerprints from her right and left hands. Skin patches on her thumbs and index fingers were removed and then re-grafted on to the matching digits of the opposite hand. Japanese newspapers said police had noticed that Ms xxxxxxx's fingers had unnatural scars when she was arrested last month for allegedly faking a marriage to a Japanese man. The apparent ability of illegal migration networks to break through hi-tech controls suggests that other countries who fingerprint visitors could be equally vulnerable - not least the United States, according to BBC Asia analyst xxxxxxxxxxxx -

Was Harris using an hearing gadget at the debate?
Sounds like a lot of sour grapes on the part of Republicans who just cannot handle the fact that their guy was demolished in the debate, and has been diminished and unhinged ever since. And since when is Joe Rogan a credible source, and who cares what he says or what he thinks?
