Is The Nana Family Land On Sukhumvit Haunted?
I can remember during the mid 80's work stopped on construction of Times Square on Sukhumvit Rd between Soi's 12 & 14 because the builders went broke. The site was only partially built and occupied by the odd squatter as well as Bangkok Street dogs and left that way for around 8 years. New builders wouldn't resume construction of the building because of "bad pee" that was 'looking after ' the site. In the early 90's it took a whole lot of money (donations) to the nearest Wat for many Monks to come and ward off the "bad pee" so that construction could recommence. Probably very good timing as just after the Times Square building was constructed the BTS out front was constructed with the overhead walkway including a walkway from main Skywalk to Times Square's 1st floor. -

Texas Chicken Bids Farewell to Thailand
British scones and American biscuits are similar but have key differences. They are made from nearly the same ingredients, but the proportions of liquid and fat as well as preparation methods are different. American biscuits tend to be flaky while British scones are crumbly. Traditional Southern biscuits are often made with buttermilk, but neither Church's or KFC uses buttermilk in its biscuits. Texas Chicken's biscuits are unique because they are topped with a honey-butter mixture. -

Ukrainian Woman and Friend Report Motorcycle Rental Scam in Pattaya
A Ukrainian woman and her friend reported a motorcycle rental scam in Pattaya after discovering their rental bikes were stolen and taken across Thailand’s border. The victim, Ms. Kateryna of Ukrainian nationality, along with her unidentified friend, presented surveillance camera footage from their motorbike rental shop and filed a complaint with Pattaya police. They claimed that the customers who had rented their motorcycles failed to return them and allegedly took the bikes across the border to Thailand’s neighboring country. Ms. Kateryna explained that on August 9th, the suspect, Mr. Santipap Sainon, rented an ADV 160cc motorcycle from her shop. He came with a woman and a young girl, rented the motorcycle for one week, and paid 4,400 baht, including 2,400 baht for the rental and 2,000 baht for the deposit.

Polling Agency Petitioned to Probe PM’s Mini-Heart Gesture
File photo In an unusual development, serial petitioner Ruangkrai Leekitwattana has urged the Election Commission to investigate Thailand Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and several cabinet ministers for making a mini-heart gesture while donning their official uniforms. The gesture, captured during a group photo at Government House on September 7, has sparked debates about its appropriateness in an official setting. Ruangkrai, known for his rigorous petitions, had earlier approached the National Anti-Corruption Commission on the same matter reported INN News, September 16. He contends that the PM's actions may breach ethical standards outlined in the Constitution, specifically citing Section 17, paragraph two of Section 27, Section 170 (5), and Section 160 (4) (5). According to Ruangkrai, such breaches warrant forwarding the case to the Supreme Court for a final ruling. Adding weight to his argument, Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga made a notable comment during a TV Channel 8 interview on September 10. He declared that performing the mini-heart gesture while wearing a government uniform is not permissible, stating, "It is not ugly or disgusting; it’s about the government uniform. I had mentioned this earlier." Pirapan, who leads the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party and is closely allied with former Prime Minister and current Privy Councillor Prayut Chan-o-cha, reinforced the gravity of Ruangkrai's petition. According to Pirapan, the rigid decorum expected in official settings was disregarded when the Prime Minister first made the gesture, prompting other ministers, including Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, and Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit, to follow suit. The so-called "Korean finger heart" gesture, popularised by K-pop idols in the 1990s, involves forming a small heart shape by snapping the thumb and index finger together. While a benign symbol of love and gratitude among fans, its use in a formal governmental context has now led to serious scrutiny. This incident has opened a broader debate about the interplay between cultural expressions and official decorum, and whether such gestures have a place in governmental conduct. With the Election Commission now petitioned, the coming weeks will reveal whether this seemingly innocuous act holds any consequences for the country's top leadership. -- 2024-09-17
