Transgender Congresswoman-Elect McBride Criticizes GOP's Focus on Bathroom Policies
"""“Every single time we hear them say the word ‘trans,’ look what they’re doing with their right hand,” McBride stated. “Look at what they’re doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare.” """ 😅🤣🙄 -

Drunk Driver Causes Chaos Near Pattaya, Crashes into Vehicles & Wall Before Being Arrested
At approximately 10:30 on November 25, traffic police from Nong Prue Police Station in Chonburi received reports of a pickup truck recklessly crashing into several vehicles. The incident began near Rai Wanasin Market, proceeded through Lub Lae Alley and Pattaya Rungrueng, and ended in Soi Mab Yai Lia 24, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District, where the truck collided with a car and a house wall. Upon arrival at the scene, authorities discovered a damaged white Honda Jazz, license plate from Bangkok, with damage on its left side, from the front wheel to the rear wheel. Nearby, the silver Isuzu pickup truck involved in the incident, license plate from Bangkok, was found crashed into a house wall, which had partially collapsed. The truck’s front was severely damaged. The driver, estimated to be 40–45 years old, appeared intoxicated and incoherent. Police detained him and brought him to Nong Prue Police Station for further questioning. The Honda Jazz driver recounted the incident, stating that while driving in Soi Mab Yai Lia 24, the pickup truck appeared to lose control on a curve, narrowly avoiding an electric pole before crashing into their car’s left side and the house wall. The driver noted that the other driver seemed intoxicated. A separate witness, the owner of a gray Ford vehicle, license plate from Chachoengsao, reported that the same Isuzu pickup had crashed into their car earlier in Soi Pattaya Rungrueng. The Ford sustained damage to its right front side. Security camera footage from Pattaya Rungrueng captured the Isuzu pickup colliding with the Ford at around 09:02. The pickup also struck a parked motorcycle with a sidecar while fleeing, ultimately crashing into the Honda Jazz and the house wall. Initial investigations revealed the Isuzu driver had consumed one methamphetamine pill and alcohol prior to the incident. Police reported difficulties in administering a breathalyzer test, as the driver only pretended to blow into the device. The suspect was detained in a holding cell to allow them to sober up, after which authorities plan to conduct drug tests and proceed with legal actions. This chaotic series of events caused significant property damage and public concern, but no injuries have been reported at this time. Authorities are continuing their investigation to ensure justice is served. Picture from responders.CCTV coverage below. -- 2024-11-26 -

Rayong: Candlelit Homework Triggers Fire, Destroys Family Home
A 13-year-old girl narrowly escaped tragedy after a candle she was using to do homework sparked a fire that engulfed her family’s two-story wooden home in Rayong. The house, located in Soi Bo Chimanto within the Tak Sin Maharaj community, had recently been disconnected from the power grid due to unpaid electricity bills. At approximately 18:50 on Nivember 25, the mayor of Rayong Municipality personally supervised firefighting efforts at the scene. Local residents managed to rescue the girl, identified as Som, from the second floor of the burning house. Suffering from smoke inhalation, she was given immediate medical attention. Firefighters from Rayong Municipality extinguished the blaze within 30 minutes, but the property was severely damaged. According to preliminary investigations, the fire began when Som lit a candle to study in the absence of electricity. The candle accidentally tipped over, igniting clothing stored in the house. The fire quickly spread through the wooden upper floor, leaving little time for intervention. Som recounted her harrowing experience to authorities. She had returned home after school and found the electricity disconnected. After lighting a candle to complete her homework, she extinguished it and awaited her parents, who were selling clothes at a local market. Suddenly, flames erupted near a pile of old clothing her parents had prepared for sale. Unable to control the rapidly spreading fire, Som climbed out of a second-story window and jumped to safety. Som’s father, Jirapan Jinpracha, 54, returned home to find his house in ruins. Overcome with emotion, he embraced his daughter, grateful she had survived. Fighting back tears, he explained that he had been saving money to pay the overdue electricity bill the following day. “The damage caused by this fire amounts to hundreds of thousands of baht,” he lamented, “including vintage clothes we’ve been collecting for years, some worth thousands. And all because of an unpaid bill of just a few thousand baht.” Jirapan pleaded with the electricity authority to show more compassion for low-income families, suggesting that additional warnings or extensions could prevent such tragedies in the future. The Rayong Municipality has pledged to provide assistance to the family. Police have also contacted forensic investigators to determine the exact cause of the fire. Meanwhile, local residents have begun rallying support to help the family rebuild their lives. While the fire destroyed the family’s possessions, the timely rescue of Som prevented a far worse outcome. Her story serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of economic hardship and the importance of safety precautions when using candles or open flames. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-26 -

A new way to turn right at the intersection, Thai style?
If you are looking for support for some Thai bashing you've come to the right place. The Thai style of driving was here well before we all arrived, it's going to be here well after we all leave, it's not perfect but the world is not perfect. We are the visitors here, we should be more understanding, try to assimilate when in Thailand, be more aware of their behaviour.
