Bye bye Electric & Hello Hydrogen?
I have a problem with this graphic. Hydrogen is made 2 ways. In the first we use the most expensive electricity on the planet (Nuclear produced) and waste a third of it producing Hydrogen (the 33% waste is Oxygen). In the 2nd way, I assume we are talking about water splitting, it uses a lot of energy, energy that could be used spinning a turbine making electricity, a similar amount of energy to Electrolysis, again equally expensive. -

Danish Expat Risks Prison in Thailand Over Lost Car Incident
"misundertanding" one of the overused terms in LOS. Had several similar incidents I handled in my time as a police officer in CA. In one of the incidents an old driver contacts the police and says "can't find my car". We look(this means checking with tow companies to ensure it was not impounded) and search of the area where the car was parked. Then the last step would be to file a police reprot. The next day the driver drove the "stolen" car to the police station and said he found it. Simple process was to just file a supplemental report and remove the vehicle from the stolen vehicle system (SVS). The driver then called his insurance company and canceled the claim. Problem and everyone was happy and content. Never hear stories like this about American police, right? Anyway, no drama ama and not a big deal. It seems like an overreaction by the local police. -

Lao borders (some at least) now requiring overnight stay?
We got quite a few reports yesterday of people up in Chiang Rai trying to bounce out/back at the Chiang Khong/Huay Xai border that they have to spend the night IN Lao before they can come back. It appears at this time it's limited to Chiang Khong; as in there were no reports from Chiang Saen where you cross by boat or Nong Khai & Mukdahan/Savannakhet was stamping people out/back like normal. Just a heads up people IF you're trying to bounce out/back to get a new free entry stamp at the Chiang Khong border pack a change of clothes and tooth brush The thing is with those companies they are not like the bounce companies in Bangkok/Pattaya where you pay a price and everything is included getting out or thailand in and out of Cambodia and then back in to thailand. The bounce companies in Chiang Mai are more like glorified taxi services. They pretty much just take you there and cut you loose, you get across on your own, buy the Lao visa on arrival, pay your way across friendship bridge and back etc. Anyway just wanted to let the people know up in that area of thailand how the border bouncing is working as of yesterday afternoon. this is an announcement from one of the border bounce companies in Chiang Mai. I think that warning sign might be written wrong and it's just ONE night in lao (2 days) but cannot confirm -

Danish Expat Risks Prison in Thailand Over Lost Car Incident
If there is a moral to this nightmare, I guess it's not to sign any police document you don't understand. Easier said than done. -

Bald, Fat, Sweaty, Hairy, Old, and Boring
Intended or not, a great reference to Shawshank Redemption. I'll give you a pass on the socks and long pants, but only if the socks are the same color as the sandals. Regarding shorts "on a grown man". It depends if the grown man is 5'4", fat, has varicose veined legs, has the aforementioned long jet-black dyed hair and wearing a Chang wifebeater over a pair of stained 100B multi-pocketed baggy cargo-shorts worn past the knees (or worse, ultra-short shorts from the 70's because they didn't read the memo), - or slim, healthily tanned, average height or taller, wearing a clean 4K brand-name slim-fit polo-shirt over matching slim-fit shorts worn 3 inches above the knee. Sans socks and sandals obviously - flip-flops on the beach are acceptable, tasteful shoes and low-cut white tennis socks (or no socks) anywhere else. -

Thai Court Reopens Tak Bai Incident: Officials to Face Charges
Amazing Thailand, 20 years to addrees such a vile, callous and in humain event. Are the higher level also going to be charged with washing their hands and dismissing this at the time as not worth wasting time on? From memory a couple of current well known politicians were actively involved in brushing this under the carpet at the time. -
