Wi-Fi Rescue Boats Boost Disaster Response in Flood-Hit Areas
BANGKOK (NNT) - The Friends in Need (of “PA”) Volunteers Foundation, under the Thai Red Cross Society, has received eight “Wi-Fi Rescue Boats” from the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation (MHESI). Developed by Thai academics, these boats provide light, power, and internet connectivity during emergencies, enhancing flood response efforts. They will be distributed to disaster alert networks in eight communities across seven provinces. The “Wi-Fi Rescue Boats” are flat-bottomed vessels capable of operating in shallow waters and carrying up to 40 kilograms. Equipped with solar-powered Wi-Fi transmitters, they provide internet access for up to six hours and can charge multiple mobile devices. The boats feature sirens, loudspeakers, and live-stream cameras facilitating real-time monitoring during emergencies. The technology addresses power outages and communication challenges often encountered in flood-affected areas. The donation was officially handed over on October 17 during a ceremony held at MHESI headquarters. The boats will be used by the foundation’s networks in provinces, including Sukhothai, Phitsanulok, Chaiyaphum, and Phatthalung, to support disaster relief and recovery. The foundation, established under the initiative of Princess Soamsawali and Princess Bajrakitiyabha, provides comprehensive support during floods and other natural disasters. Developed in collaboration with several MHESI-affiliated agencies, including Princess of Naradhiwas University and the Science, Research and Innovation Promotion Fund, the boats are expected to greatly enhance safety and quality of life for flood victims in some of Thailand’s most vulnerable regions. by Krajangwit Johjit Source: NNT -- 2024-10-21 -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
I'm always wondering how is informal economy estimated... could be as close or as far from the reality. I think most foreigners who complain about tax rather compare to locals earning an equivalent or higher income (taxed+informal), not the poorer crowd. -

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
It's not very good IMHO. I think I'll go back and watch Aliens 2, directed by James Cameron. That's when he knew how to direct movies before all this Avatar junk. -

Thai father’s plea to find missing daughter and 262,000 baht
It's interesting that it never occurred to him that rarely leaving home or socialising might not be a sign of being a "good girl", or at least that it might make her easy to target and manipulate. -

Deadlocked Between Trump and Harris in NBC News Poll as Election Approaches
Musk is literally trying to buy the election. In the swing states, but only the swing states, he is giving away a million dollars a day to a lucky winner. The catch? You have to be a registered voter. Never mind if you live in a non-swing state--he could give a rat's ass if you register to vote. His focus is buying the election for Trump by insuring Trump wins the swing states. He is also paying $100 to registered Pennsylvania voters who sign a Mickey Mouse petition he's ponied up. Again, no voter registration, no $100. With both schemes, he hopes to attract voters who like him and like his conservative agenda, and his support of Trump . Sad--and disgusting--for America that a billionaire in a close election could buy himself a president. Yet another reason to ditch the Electoral College--which has become a nasty farce that completely ignores the majority will of the voters and can be manipulated in a sick, perverted way such as this. Is the million dollar giveaway legal? One legal expert consulted in the article I read said the voter registration requirement makes it illegal. Does Musk care? Absolutely not. By the time he might get his hands slapped by the courts the election will be long over and the damage done. With the election so close and likely a few thousand votes making the difference in some swing states, he could succeed. I find it telling that, once again, it's a Republican presidential supporter, closely linked to Trump, trying to subvert election integrity--as Trump illegally tried to do in Georgia. At the same time, its Republicans always loudly complaining about election integrity, as they stomp all over it. -

But no record of it, no verification and not one single person recalls working with her. She's a liar.
