Nong Khai Border Bounce. Avoid !!!
Since this was historically one easiest most hassle free border bounces, I'm guessing this one night policy will be implemented at every crossing, eventually. The border bounce may be ending. Or at least the free border bounce may be ending. -

Pattaya Police Crack Down on Beach Prostitution, Arrest 20 Foreign Women
Different strokes yeah To be quite honest, I see very few ladies like they used to be 10-20 years ago. My infrequent visits to Pattaya 'hot spots' I see quite a significant percentage of the 'ladies' have become quite chunky. I guess it's the high carbohydrate intake in the diet now. When I first visited Pattaya in the late '90s there weren't many chubby ladies. But yes, I wonder how much the Africans pay to be able to 'work' here. They certainly aren't very attractive in my opinion and I realise that's my preference and not everyone is the same thank goodness. Well, you know.. they are all pink on the inside. -

Mumbai Airport: Hydroponic Weed Smuggling from Bangkok Foiled on Christmas Day
Huh? Smuggling weed into India? This makes as much sense as bringing coffee into Brazil. They have some of the best in the world, or at least did. That whole area from Afghanistan to Nepal is where it is. Granted it has been more than 40 years since I've been there. In certain states it is (was?) legal. My guess is the hydroponic stuff is something to show off for the wealthy, though there is no reason they can't grow it that way over there. The more imported things you have the more hiso you are over there. Another guess is they can say they are not smoking the garbage the riksha drivers do (best garbage on the planet). -

China’s Stealth Fighter: A Game-Changing Super Weapon in the Race for Air Supremacy
China appears to be advancing rapidly in the race for aerial dominance with the development of a new stealth fighter jet. The groundbreaking aircraft, described by analysts as a potential "super weapon," has stunned military observers worldwide. Speculation is rife that the jet is designed to operate on the edge of space and target previously unreachable U.S. military assets, such as early warning aircraft and refueling tankers. "If procured in an operational form by the PLAAF, it would be able to fly over long regional distances and loiter for extended periods on station far from home without tanker support," noted *The War Zone*. It further emphasized that the fighter could carry out missions closer to threats than any other manned aircraft currently in China’s arsenal. Key design features of the aircraft highlight its stealth and high-performance capabilities. Aviation experts have noted the plane’s engines are fed by a single dorsal inlet and two ventral inlets, with the dorsal inlet employing a stealth-enhancing diverterless supersonic design. This configuration is said to optimize the jet for high-speed and stealth operations. The large ventral fuselage section appears to house an internal weapons bay, while the landing gear—featuring two wheels per main leg—mirrors designs used in heavy fighter-bombers like Russia’s Sukhoi Su-34. Observers have also identified potential missile and bomb loading hatches under the fuselage, enhancing radar stealth. The engine nozzles, positioned above the fuselage, are strategically designed to minimize heat radiation and noise, further boosting survivability. The jet’s size has drawn particular attention, as it suggests a focus on endurance and internal capacity. Analysts speculate the aircraft’s massive internal volume could accommodate an extensive fuel load, advanced sensors, and a significant array of weaponry. Additionally, aerodynamic efficiencies likely contribute to its ability to perform high-speed dashes and sustained cruising flights. Intriguingly, some images of the aircraft have led to speculation that it may feature three engines—a highly unconventional design choice. This would address the higher weight of the aircraft and support aggressive performance goals, particularly for high-speed and high-altitude operations. Retired U.S. Air Force General Mark D. Kelly had previously acknowledged the possibility of China developing next-generation fighter jets. "They are not dummies. They know what they’re doing," he said, cautioning that the Chinese sixth-generation air combat program is likely to include "exponential" advancements in stealth technology over existing platforms. The development of this new fighter jet underscores China’s determination to challenge U.S. air superiority. If the aircraft achieves its speculated capabilities, it could mark a significant shift in the balance of power in aerial warfare, raising the stakes in the competition for control of the skies.

Judge Rebukes Jay-Z's Legal Tactics in Child Rape Case, Grants Accuser Anonymity
Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, is facing sharp criticism from the judiciary in an ongoing legal battle over allegations of child rape. The case, brought by a woman identified as Jane Doe, accuses Carter and fellow rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs of drugging and assaulting her when she was 13 years old at an after-party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City. Both men have denied the allegations, with Carter calling them baseless. In a decisive ruling on Thursday, Judge Analisa Torres granted Jane Doe the right to remain anonymous during the next stage of legal proceedings. The decision came with a scathing critique of Carter's lawyer, Alex Spiro, whose aggressive legal tactics were described as "inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client." Judge Torres highlighted the attorney's repeated motions to dismiss the case and unmask Jane Doe, which she deemed "combative" and "filled with inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks." She further emphasized, "The Court will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it." According to the lawsuit, the alleged assault took place after Jane Doe, then a teenager trying to enter the awards show at Radio City Music Hall, was invited to an after-party by a man claiming to be Combs' limousine driver. Upon arrival, she claims she was coerced into signing a nondisclosure agreement, served a drugged drink, and then assaulted by both Carter and Combs while a female celebrity allegedly watched. Carter’s legal team has vehemently denied the allegations, accusing the plaintiff and her attorney, Tony Buzbee, of fabricating the claims as part of an extortion attempt. In a public statement, Carter condemned Buzbee, saying, "I have no idea how you have come to be such a deplorable human, Mr. Buzbee, but I promise you I have seen your kind many times over. You claim to be a Marine? Marines are known for their valor; you have neither honor nor dignity." Adding complexity to the case, Buzbee himself is facing legal troubles. A separate lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court accuses him of sexually assaulting a woman, infecting her with a sexually transmitted disease, and attempting to silence her by offering free legal services. The plaintiff in that case alleges Buzbee became possessive to prevent her from exposing him. Despite the accusations against both Carter and Buzbee, Judge Torres has maintained focus on the accuser’s right to anonymity. She stated, “The weight of the factors tips in favor of allowing Plaintiff to remain anonymous, at least for this stage of the litigation.” Carter’s defense team, led by Spiro, has argued the lawsuit is rife with inconsistencies. Meanwhile, Buzbee’s legal actions extend beyond Carter, including multiple civil cases against Combs, who is currently jailed in New York awaiting trial on unrelated federal charges of coercion and abuse of women. As the case proceeds, the court’s strong stance on preserving the anonymity of the alleged victim marks a pivotal moment in what promises to be a contentious legal battle. Whether Carter and his defense team will alter their approach remains to be seen, but the judge’s rebuke underscores the importance of decorum and judicial fairness in even the most high-profile cases.
