Thaksin Delivers First Speech in 18 Years, Denies Interfering with PM
Picture courtesy: Siam Rath On 13 November at Wat Sri Nakaram in Udon Thani’s Kumphawapi district, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra made his first public speech in 18 years, urging voters to remember his name if they cannot recall Srawut’s when voting. He also reassured the crowd that he is not influencing Prime Minister Paetongtarn "Ing" Shinawatra. In his speech, Thaksin praised Ing, saying he had seen leadership potential in her from a young age. He also expressed optimism about achieving the government’s minimum wage increase target to THB 400. Addressing the crowd of red-shirt supporters, Thaksin spoke warmly of his fondness for Udon Thani residents, recalling that many owned buffaloes when he left Thailand 18 years ago. Thaksin shared personal reflections, saying that his years abroad required resilience and meditation to stay balanced. He committed to supporting the local Buddhist community and encouraged people to focus on family well-being, steer clear of excessive gambling, and avoid debt traps. He explained how Ing has been dedicated to addressing household debt and poverty. Thaksin denied any interference in Ing’s political decisions, describing his approach as respectful of her independence. Instead, he focuses on providing guidance and support. Thaksin reiterated his strong stance against the drug trade, vowing to address it in collaboration with the police force, aiming to end corruption in police appointments and to eliminate illegal drugs from Thai communities. Picture courtesy: Siam Rath He reflected on the significant changes Thailand has undergone and expressed a commitment to improving education and job opportunities. He urged the public to embrace local development, particularly in rural areas, to combat poverty and empower the population. With confidence in the ruling coalition, Thaksin pledged to continue his involvement in Thai politics in a supportive capacity and affirmed his commitment to the Thai people. As he concluded, Thaksin humorously described his self-appointed role as “Supervisor of All Issues,” vowing to visit Udon Thani again, reported Siam Rath. -- 2024-11-14 -

93 Year Old Woman Killed in Kitchen Gas Explosion, Bangkok
A tragic incident claimed the life of a 93-year-old woman on November 13, when a gas leak exploded in her kitchen, igniting a fire in her home. The incident took place around 14.00 in a three-story townhouse on Soi Udom Suk 5 in the Huai Khwang district of Bangkok. Police Lieutenant Colonel Rakkiat Patumwan, an investigator from Suthisan Police Station, received the fire report and immediately coordinated with the Bangkok Fire and Rescue Department, forensic officers, medical personnel from Ramathibodi Hospital, and volunteers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation to inspect the scene. Upon arrival, responders found a small fire had damaged the kitchen area on the first floor, particularly around a 15 kilogram gas cylinder and stove. The body of the victim, identified as Mrs. Kaesorn was found on the kitchen floor. Her clothing and body showed extensive fire and burn damage, and a preliminary inspection revealed remnants of food on the stove and minor fire damage around the kitchen. Neighbours reported that Mrs. Kaesorn had been living alone in the house. At the time of the explosion, they heard a loud bang and noticed smoke billowing from her home. Several neighbours quickly intervened, using chemical fire extinguishers to douse the flames and close the gas valve before removing the gas cylinder to outside. They then alerted the authorities and contacted the victim’s relatives, who live nearby. Initial investigations suggest that Mrs. Kaesorn may have been preparing to heat food when a gas leak from either the hose or gas valve was ignited. The ensuing flame caused a catastrophic explosion. Forensic teams examined the scene for further insights into the incident, as the investigation continues. The victim’s body was transported to Ramathibodi Hospital for an autopsy.

CNN Faces Major Layoffs as Mark Thompson Plans Cost-Cutting Shake-Up Amid Ratings Slump
CNN built its own bed to lie in. I love news. As a business traveller, I used to keep CNN on every minute I was awake in my hotel room anywhere in the world. But since they made the decision to enter politics instead of a being a news channel, I refuse to watch them. Same too with MSNBC where for 4+ years, Rachel Madow starter her show with another "Smoking Gun" story. And none of them proved true. -
