Woman Takes Her Own Life After Final Beach Trip with Family
Picture from responders. Police in Krabi are investigating the death of a 35-year-old woman who was found in her car on December 28, in the car park of a prestigious university on Sriphangnga Road, Krabi Yai. The woman, identified as Ms. Angsara, was discovered in the driver's seat of a silver Toyota Vios with the engine still running. Authorities estimate she had been deceased for six to seven hours before being found. The grim discovery was made at around 07.00 and reported to Pol. Lt. Rattapol Thongrod of Krabi City Police. A forensic team, rescue workers, and local investigators were dispatched to the scene. Inside the vehicle, police found a charcoal stove filled with ash on the passenger side and traces of smoke throughout the cabin. Evidence also included documents related to bipolar disorder treatment, several prescription medications, and two handwritten letters, believed to be suicide notes. One of the notes, addressed to the woman's mother, expressed her love and sorrow for her actions. It read, "Mum, don't worry. I've thought about this a lot. Think of me as going to work in Bangkok, not leaving forever. Don't be sad. Please cremate me before the New Year with a simple one-night ceremony. I was happy to hug you, my aunt, and my sibling today. I was also happy to go to the beach with you, Mum. I'm sorry for being weak and unable to live with myself." A second letter was addressed to her relatives, and another note was written on an appointment card from her psychiatrist. The deceased had recently returned from Bangkok, where she worked at a convenience store, to visit her family in Krabi. On December 27, she spent the day with her parents, taking her mother to Ao Nang beach for a final trip. Her father, Mr. Prasat, recalled their day together, saying, "She didn't show any signs of distress. She even told me, 'Dad, don't die before me. Let me go first.' I didn't think much of it at the time, but now it feels like a warning." That evening, she told her family she would stay overnight at a friend's house. The next morning, her father learned the tragic news. Police believe Ms. Angsara's mental health struggles and personal stress contributed to her decision. CCTV and GPS data reveal she rented the car from the airport upon arriving from Bangkok. Around midnight, she parked the vehicle in the university car park and appears to have prepared the charcoal stove using her trainers as kindling before sealing herself inside the vehicle. Her aunt, Ms. Srinuan, recounted how Ms. Angsara had borrowed the charcoal stove the day before, claiming she wanted to grill food with her mother. "She seemed completely normal at the time. I never imagined she would use it for this purpose," said the grieving aunt. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek help. -- 2024-12-29 -

Girlfriend Shocked as GPS Stops; Finds Out Boyfriend Has Died in Crash
Picture from responders. A crash occurred in the early hours of December 28, when a university student lost his life in a motorcycle crash after leaving a company party. His girlfriend, worried after noticing his GPS location had been stationary for some time, called him only to hear the devastating news from a rescue team that he had passed away. At 04:30, Pol. Lt. Kiatthisak Kochasak of Khlong Luang Police Station received a report of a fatal motorcycle accident on the inbound side of Phahonyothin Road, just past the entrance to the Tha Khlong Municipality in Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani Province. The scene was attended by Pol. Capt. Singha Fueangkaew, traffic officers from Khlong Luang Police Station, forensic doctors from Thammasat University Hospital, and rescue teams from Tha Khlong Municipality and Poh Teck Tung Foundation. The victim, identified as Mr. Chaiwat, aged 23, was found lifeless at the side of the road. He was wearing a workshop uniform from a Rajabhat University. Approximately 20 metres away, his blue Honda PCX motorcycle overturned with his helmet. A security guard near the scene stated that he heard a loud crash and saw dust rising on the road. Upon checking, he discovered the victim and his fallen motorcycle. No other vehicles appeared to be involved, leading authorities to believe the victim lost control and fell. Ms. Supavida, the victim’s 22-year-old girlfriend, revealed that her boyfriend had been attending a New Year’s party hosted by the company where he was interning in the Khlong Four area. After the party, he dropped off a friend in Khlong Three and was on his way home. However, she grew concerned when she noticed his GPS signal was stationary for an unusually long time at the crash site. She decided to call him, only for a rescue worker to answer and deliver the heartbreaking news of his death. Mr. Chaiwat, a fourth-year Industrial Technology student at Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University, had been interning as part of his studies. Pol. Lt. Kiatthisak Kochasak documented the scene and ordered the body to be transported by the Poh Teck Tung Foundation to Thammasat University Hospital for a detailed autopsy. -- 2024-12-29 -

Is Obesity a Very Serious Problem?
Carbo-phobia is way out of hand. Individual metabolism varies, as does the amount of exercise people do. I eat a ton of carbs---pizza, pasta, French bread---though I also aim for 2 gm/kg/day of protein. I hit the gym 6 days a week for resistance training and cardio/HIIT. I just had a complete physical. HbA1c is 5.2. Tryglycerides are 66 mg/L, while thyroid and liver readings are normal. HDL-C is 68. Body fat is 11%. Doctor did not say to lay off the carbs. Carbs do not seem to be the bogeyman those chiropractors claim. -

Is Obesity a Very Serious Problem?
I wouldn't worry about fruit. I normally eat a few pieces of fruit a day. I never worry about if it's a high glycemic fruit or not. Mostly I eat bananas, apples, cantaloupe, and pineapple. Sometimes some watermelon or oranges. The main point though is that fruit has its sugar embedded in fiber, and the fiber slows down the absorption of the sugar by the body and helps to prevent the insulin spikes that would convert it to fat. So as long as you're only eating a few reasonably sized pieces of fruit a day, then I wouldn't worry about it at all and I doubt that it's going to make any difference in terms of weight or body fat percentage in general. If you're really worried about it, then with things like bananas don't eat more than one a day. But on some days, I eat two or three. It just depends. -

Putin Expresses Readiness for Talks with Trump to End Ukraine War
This is a stark (and also rather inaccurate) statement. Can you explain on what basis you believe that "Ukraine itself is an artificial creation"? What do you know about Ukraine's history that justifies your statement? What do you know about the Ukrainian language that makes you believe it is "artificial"? What have you seen in Kiev, Lvov, Moscow and St. Petersburg, that supports the idea that Ukraine is an artificial country? What is it that Ukrainians shall know, to accept the idea that they are not Ukrainians after all? And that dying for Ukraine, as they are doing by the thousands since 2014, has no justification. I look forward to hearing what supports and justifies your point of view, if any, of course, and to share it with my Ukrainian friends asking for their opinions. -
