Swiss Expat Sentencing in Phuket Set for September 3rd
The trial of Swiss expat Urs Fehr, often referred to as ‘Swiss David,’ is scheduled to conclude on September 3rd. Fehr, the founder of the Green Elephant Sanctuary Park in Cherng Talay, faces an assault charge stemming from a February incident in which he allegedly kicked Dr. Thandao Chandam, a Dibuk Hospital doctor, outside his rented luxury villa in Pa Khlok. In February, Dr. Thandao and a friend were sitting on steps leading to Yamu Beach, watching the full moon, when Fehr reportedly approached them, demanded they leave, and allegedly kicked Dr. Thandao in the back. Fehr, however, claims he slipped while approaching the pair. A widely circulated video of the incident sparked anti-foreigner sentiment among locals, leading to a protest at the beach near Fehr’s residence, reported The Phuket News. Subsequent investigations revealed that the steps leading to the beach were illegally constructed on public land and were later demolished. Officials clarified that Fehr and his wife mistakenly believed their property rights included the steps. Despite an initial March announcement from the Immigration Bureau revoking Fehr’s residence permit, he has remained in Phuket, awaiting legal proceedings. Anuphong Panarat, Secretary to the Governor of Phuket, confirmed Fehr’s continued presence, noting that he is allowed to stay due to the ongoing legal case. "Mr. Fehr remains in the country to face the assault charge. He has not engaged in any business activities during this time," Anuphong stated. Dr. Thandao expressed relief that the case is nearing resolution. "The trial concludes on September 3rd, and appropriate sentencing will follow," said Dr. Thandao. Fehr has been granted recurring 30-day stays under bail conditions, which include residing in approved housing, bi-weekly check-ins with authorities, and refraining from work or illegal activities. "The case is ongoing, but justice is expected to be served soon," Dr. Thandao concluded, thanking the Phuket community and local media for their support.

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Life isn't fair. I don't get where he has failed, unless one believes the propaganda that he wanted the entire country. I don't and never did. The direction of travel in the east is in the wrong direction for Zelensky, Crimea has not fallen. That doesn't look like losing from my perspective. Zelensky had a window to negotiate before it started, from a much stronger position than he has now. -

How to dispose of old home electronic items: PCs, fax, VCRs, CDplayers, stereos, TVs
Sure. It might be gone in a flash as part of someone's cleaning / rubbish removal tasks. That's the obvious and easiest option. I was thinking more along the lines of fixing, using (some of the stuff remains in working order), but who has any need for a fax these days? In that sense retrieval of any parts or materials would be preferential. -

Delays loom for Thai-Chinese high-speed railway project
In China, the CCP will send police and thugs to kick people off their lands, demolish homes, and begin construction right away. The CCP don't care as the people cannot take the matter to the courts or fight back. There is no opposition party nor do the people have land rights. The CCP will offer little compensation -- take it and go. Thailand isn't a Communist dictatorship with no land rights. If you refuse, the government will simply build around you and turn off water and electricity to your house. -

Keep Getting Approached By India Guys
Kind of a chubby guy? If that is him, met him twice in the street. I listened to him for a couple of minutes the first time. That was about 3 or 4 years ago. Last year, met him again. Within 15 or 20 seconds I realized he was telling me the same thing word for word as he had the first time. I turned and walked away. -

The Jackal Drone
I have just been watching a Youtube video about this drone. It mentions the UK designing and manufacturing the drone with partner countries showing a Turkish and a Thai flag. The video goes on to talk about a UK company working in collaboration with a Turkish company that makes drones. But no mention of any involvement with Thailand. Seems an odd thing for Thailand to be involved with. Was this for real or was the wrong flag used in the video? -

Thai's are the friendliest, good natured, nicest people I've ever met
There is always something exciting going on upcountry. If there isn't , rest assured that someone will make drama. So many nosey relatives and neighbors. Perhaps, they probably think they are making merit by being kind to the old man standing on the street waving at anyone who goes by? -

McGill is one of the greatest schools you might ever see. THANK the Gods that we have, together, passed another Sunday, without too many of us dying. Snyder was the best. Would you not wish that he were back, again amongst us? How many more Sundays do you think you will be around to witness, anyway? I am so happy to be in Chiang Mai, now... I am LUCKY. So... Never complain about ANYTHING... Regards, Gamma
