Forgo the magic, just get everyone to wear one of those lucky Amulets, they ward off danger from anywhere. -

To DTV or not to DTV - that is the question.
My only hesitation with the DTV is if you use the digital nomad/remote worker category. Now they have an official admission you are working in Thailand. If they ever get rid of that visa and you start trying to come in as a tourist then they could give you a real hard time about it. -

Bangkok could be submerged in seven years warns economist
No problem, just point some ships with the aft towards the sea, give full throttle and push the water back. Not my idea, that was the idea of some high up Thai politician during the last big flood. Thai magic, it will work. -

Is the SAMSUNG A25 5G the best phone I can buy tomorrow...for the money...in Thailand?
Post back with any info you find, especially about what you get for the extra $$$ as you go up the Samsung A(x) product line. I suspect it's more processing power and maybe a zoomier display. Then you can make a quantum leap into the other Samsung lines, spending up to 60K baht (and more) for a folding screen. I just don't have F..U.. money for that kind of upgrade, though I don't fault anyone who chooses to go that way. I do have the peanuts (in the big scheme of life) to pop for the A15 or the A25 if they offer a discernable difference in performance or...? Edit: As far as RAM goes... With a tiny screen, I can't multi-task enough to eat up whatever RAM I have, like I can with a ton of programs and tabs open on my laptop. I chose a 128 GB micro-SD card, with the thought that I can replace it with higher capacity if I fill it up. So far, not even close. -

Fight Breaks Out Between Tourists and Local Workers on Karon Beach
Well, like drivers blowing through red lights and stop signs, hitting people in Zebra crossings, and motorcycles driving on sidewalks or against traffic......its just a regular occurrence, laws are just suggestions here, move along everyone, nothing to see here. -

Donald Trump Has No Idea What Has Hit Him, and It’s a Joy to Watch
The bill Vance voted against would have mandated federal funding, that’s why he voted against it, not because he wants it banned. But Walz is a liar, and no one cares. -

Bangkok could be submerged in seven years warns economist
I remember reading a similar prediction fifty years ago. I don't remember who the person was who made the prediction. The point he made was that Bangkok has been draining water from underground sources, which causes the city to sink. IIRC it was a couple of centimeters a year. I've seen similar predictions over the years since I came back. Of course now we've got global warming, which really can't be denied any more, so if the Antarctic and Greenland ice melts I'm sure Bangkok will be drowned, but it's not going to happen in my lifetime (I'm 87 years old). -

japanese encephalitis
I have seen people with permanent brain damage from this. Years ago, working i nrefugee camps on the Thai border, one of the western relief workers got this and was in coma for many weeks in a Neur ICU. Not to be risked IMO. Exception being those who live in cities and spend no time in rural areas. Urban risk is very, very low since resevoir is pigs. The advise to "never mind" is based on Thai populations -since most adults will already have been infected in childhood and thus immune. Same is nto true of farangs. -

Bangkok moonshine death toll rises to 4, 28 in critical condition
Always wondered why there hasn't been more of this here in Thailand. One of my first trips to Indonesia back in the aughts. Ended up assisting an Aussie couple there to pick up there son. Take him home. Painful & ugly. As a spirit drinker myself, something you never forget. Facebook site, no links but if interested - A Drink to Die From - More of it out there than people are aware of.
