A fire has left popular Thai model and presenter, Nong Eung-Eoi (Eung-Eoi Punrada), without a home as her entire Bangkok house was engulfed in flames. Fortunately, no one was injured, and Eung-Eoi shared her gratitude for everyone’s safety, taking a philosophical view on the loss with the words, “It’s alright; we can start over.” The fire, which occurred on November 1, led to extensive property damage, despite the quick response of emergency teams working to extinguish the flames. Eung-Eoi posted a video of the fire on her social media, showing the devastation and sharing her sorrow for her grandparents, who were deeply affected by the incident. In her post, she expressed relief that her family had escaped harm, noting that in the midst of this misfortune, they were lucky to be safe. Since the post went live, Eung-Eoi has received an outpouring of support and encouragement from fans and followers across Thailand. Many took to the comments to express their sympathy and admiration for her strength. Some also asked about the cause of the fire, to which she replied, explaining that it is suspected to be an electrical issue. This event has resonated widely, with fans and well-wishers alike reminding Eung-Eoi that even amidst loss, resilience and community support can make recovery possible.

Early voting - battleground states
The gender gap is certainly present in early voting....not a promising set of numbers for Trump. Not to mention: Even with GOP voters having cast more ballots in battleground states of Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina, Sams argued the Democratic nominee’s campaign is fine with the current numbers and added that they have surpassed surpassed its “internal metric” from two years ago. “We feel really good about the numbers that we’re seeing in our own early vote push,” Sams said. “We’re exceeding our own internal metrics from 2022, and we’re excited about bringing us home next week.” https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4960816-harris-campaign-senior-advisor-early-voting-numbers/ -

Phuket Taxi Mafia Confronts Tourists Over App-Based Ride
On 1 November, a video circulated on the Facebook page “Phuket Crime” showing two foreign tourists facing harassment from a local motorcycle taxi driver in Patong, Phuket. The video, captured by the app-based taxi’s in-car camera, quickly ignited public outrage online. In the footage, the tourists, legally traveling in an app-registered taxi to Phuket Airport, encounter a local motorcycle taxi driver wearing a blue vest who blocks them from closing the car door and demands they exit the vehicle. The incident occurred on Thaweewong Road in Patong. The driver of the app-based taxi tried explaining that the tourists had booked the ride through an official app. However, the motorcycle driver insisted on checking the tourist’s phone for confirmation before forcefully asking them to leave the taxi, even after verifying the ride. Another clip, recorded by the taxi driver, captures an exchange between the female taxi driver and the local motorcycle driver. The latter, appearing agitated, confronts her, saying, “Don’t talk to me disrespectfully.” She responds by explaining that she was merely responding to the app's notification, reported Daily News. The video has since attracted a flood of comments, criticising the behaviour of local "taxi mafias." Many call on Phuket authorities to revoke traditional taxi queues to restore the island's image, especially as digital apps continue to offer tourists a safer and more affordable option.
