Hungarian Tourist Assaulted After Failing to Pay Bar & Entertainment Bills in Pattaya
Picture courtesy of SiamChon. A Hungarian tourist was injured in an altercation near Pattaya Beach after allegedly refusing to pay for drinks, cannabis, and entertainment provided by a transgender companion. The incident occurred at 00:15 on 30 April, near Soi Pattaya Beach 12, in the Nong Prue sub-district of Bang Lamung, Chonburi province. Police Lieutenant Chaowalit Suwanmanee, deputy inspector of Pattaya City Police Station, responded to the call along with officers from the Tourist Police and volunteers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Foundation. At the scene, the 53-year-old Hungarian man, name not disclosed, was found with a laceration on the left side of his head and ear, bleeding heavily. Rescue personnel administered first aid before transporting him to a nearby hospital. The suspected assailants had fled the scene prior to the arrival of authorities. Staff from the cannabis and cocktail shop where the incident occurred presented a drink bill totalling 1,570 baht as evidence and expressed frustration with the tourist’s behaviour. According to witnesses, the man had consumed both cannabis and alcoholic beverages at the venue before inviting a transgender woman from the beach to join him. However, when the venue closed, the tourist was allegedly unable or unwilling to pay either the bill or the entertainment fee owed to the companion. This led to a heated dispute. The companion reportedly called in friends to help resolve the situation, which quickly escalated into physical violence. Staff at the venue intervened to break up the altercation, preventing more serious injuries. Following treatment, the Hungarian man will be taken in for questioning by Pattaya police. He claimed he intended to pay the bill but was unable to do so due to a problem with his mobile phone. If he chooses to press charges regarding the assault, investigators will attempt to identify and locate the perpetrators for legal action. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamChon 2025-04-30. -

Immigration Final Three Uyghurs Find Freedom in Canada after Decade of Detention in Thailand
So wrong... where did you get this info? Asylum seekers are covered under the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), which provides temporary health insurance until they qualify for provincial or territorial health coverage. The IFHP includes:Medavie BCWikipedia Basic medical services such as doctor visits and hospital care Prescription medications Emergency dental and vision care Pre- and post-natal care Coverage begins upon issuance of an eligibility document and continues until the claimant withdraws their claim, leaves Canada, or transitions to provincial health insurance after a positive decision. Medavie BC 💰 Financial Assistance Asylum seekers may apply for provincial or territorial social assistance, similar to other residents in need. The amount and eligibility criteria vary by province. For example, in Ontario, a single individual might receive approximately $733 per month. Asylum seekers get more per month than many canadians get for their retirements. this is my situation: Current Rates: As of early 2025, the maximum monthly OAS payment is approximately $727.67 for individuals aged 65 to 74. With 20 years of residency, you'd receive about half of this amount, roughly $363.84 per month. -

Even Republicans are falling out of love with Tesla
Gotta give Musk credit for his tenacity. Still trying to polish a turd. Too much winning! Source: https://www.economist.com/business/2025/04/23/even-republicans-are-falling-out-of-love-with-tesla Apr 23rd 2025 Elon Musk is right to shift his focus back to carmaking “The future of Tesla is brighter than ever.” So declared Elon Musk during an earnings call on April 22nd. According to the carmaker’s boss, Tesla remains on course to become the world’s most valuable firm, worth as much as the next five companies combined, as it churns out fleets of autonomous taxis and armies of humanoid robots. As Mr Musk gazes into the future, however, investors remain transfixed by the car crash that is currently occurring at Tesla. Revenue from car sales in the first quarter was down by a fifth, year on year. Operating profit plummeted by two-thirds. Far from racing ahead, Tesla’s market value has fallen by roughly half since its peak of roughly $1.5trn in December. Earlier this month the company reported that it delivered just 337,000 vehicles in the quarter, 13% fewer than a year before and well below analysts’ expectations (see chart 1). In Europe, which accounts for around a fifth of sales, registrations of new Teslas slid by 40%. In America, the carmaker’s biggest market, sales fell by almost 9%, even as those of all electric vehicles rose by 11%. Can Tesla recover? Slumping sales partly reflect a backlash against the politics of Mr Musk, who has lately refashioned himself into a right-wing activist and nemesis of America’s “deep state”. Tesla’s showrooms have faced protests and arson attacks since Mr Musk took his chainsaw to the federal government as head of Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency. Some analysts had hoped that, at least in America, a boom in Tesla sales to right-wing consumers would balance out declining sales to left-wing ones. TD Cowen, an investment bank, recently estimated that although Mr Musk’s political activities could cut sales by more than 100,000 vehicles a year in America’s Democrat-leaning counties, they could boost them by twice that in Republican-leaning ones. That type of partisan rebalancing was on display last year as Mr Musk completed his maga conversion. Our analysis, drawing on figures from S&P Global, a data provider, suggests that Tesla’s sales shrank in left-leaning cities in 2024 while growing in right-leaning ones. For example, in the San Francisco Bay Area, which favoured Kamala Harris in the presidential election by nearly three-to-one, sales fell by more than 16% last year; in Tampa, which favoured Mr Trump by a wide margin, they rose by around 18%. Unfortunately for Mr Musk, even Republicans now appear to be spurning his evs. Trends in the used-car market suggest that a growing number of Tesla drivers in both blue and red states are putting their cars up for sale. Figures from MarketCheck, which tracks the inventories of more than 75,000 dealerships across America, show that listings of used Teslas have risen by two-thirds since the start of the year, twice as much as for other evs. Listings for the Model 3 have increased by 63%; those for the Model Y have rocketed by 80%. The pattern can be seen in both left-leaning states, such as Massachusetts and New York, and right-leaning ones, such as Indiana and South Carolina. That hints at a deeper problem for Tesla: stiffening competition. By contrast with its early years, when it was essentially unchallenged, the carmaker now faces serious threats from rivals such as General Motors (in America) and BYD (in China and elsewhere). It cannot afford a distracted boss. To investors’ relief, Mr Musk announced during the earnings call that he would now be spending “far more” of his time away from Washington and at the company. They will be hoping he can speedily reverse Tesla out of its mess. -
