Jealous Husband Kills Wife, Dies in Shootout with Police After Intense Stand-off
Picture from responders. A man who fatally shot his wife in a fit of jealousy was killed in a dramatic police shootout after barricading himself inside a house in Ayutthaya province. The exchange of gunfire, involving nearly 40 rounds, left two police officers injured. The incident began in Moo 4, Khok Chang subdistrict, Bang Sai district, on the morning of December 25, where 51-year-old Wasan shot his wife, 46-year-old Chitra, following a domestic dispute. The couple's child reportedly discovered the body, prompting fears of further violence as the suspect threatened to harm his family. Police quickly obtained an arrest warrant for premeditated murder. Wasan was tracked to a house just 600 metres from the scene of the crime. A team of over 50 armed officers from Bang Sai Police Station and Ayutthaya Provincial Police surrounded the property, anticipating a confrontation given Wasan's possession of a firearm. Police brought Wasan's 83-year-old mother, Mrs. Chalao, to negotiate with her son. Mrs. Chalao expressed shock upon learning of her son's actions, stating she was unaware of the couple's personal conflicts as they lived apart. Despite her attempts, Wasan refused to surrender. According to the homeowner where Wasan had sought refuge, he arrived at her house at 20.00 on December 24, claiming he had just killed his wife and asking for shelter. She allowed him to stay out of fear but doubted his story as he had made similar claims before. She left for the market early in the morning, only to later learn that Wasan's confession was true. As negotiations failed, police deployed a drone to assess the area. When officers approached the house, Wasan opened fire, sparking a fierce exchange of gunfire that lasted several minutes. Approximately 40 shots were fired, resulting in two officers sustaining injuries. They were immediately rushed to Bang Sai Hospital. The stand-off ended when police shot and killed Wasan at the scene. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the case, while the injured officers are reported to be in stable condition. -- 2024-12-26 -

Trump says he will direct Justice Department to ‘vigorously pursue the death penalty’
Unfortunately, our present world has become so polarized that reason, and even the ability to reason, has been lost. Instead, we are heading for Bedlam. -

Mike Waltz Warns Hostage-Takers: “Bullet in Your Damn Forehead”
Mr Waltz needs to put his big boy pants on and lead from the front. We've had enough of the big talk from those that will never go in harm's way. There was a wise president sometime ago that said "walk quietly and carry a big stick" Waltz would do well to take note of the "quietly" part. -

I HATE Thai Immigration - 90 day online report frustrations
Do they still do the 90 day reporting in Bumrumgrad ? I can't remember if it was everyday or timings, but it was something like a few hundred baht for the convenience. A quick search brought this up; https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/patient-services/business-center So it seems you can do your 90 day reports at Bumrumgrad, albeit for a 650 baht fee. -

Thai PM Pressured to Dissolve House Over Skyrocketing Power Costs
PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra. File photo courtesy: Thai Rath Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra faces intense pressure to dissolve Thailand's House of Representatives over her perceived inability to address soaring power bills affecting Thai households. Key leaders, including activist Nattapong Ruangpanyawut, hold her accountable for not achieving lower electricity rates—a pressing economic strain felt by consumers nationwide. Nattapong, a prominent people's leader, has urged the Prime Minister to take immediate responsibility and step down by dissolving the House. He argues this step is vital to pave the way for fresh elections and a new government that can tackle the lingering energy cost crisis more effectively. The crux of the discontent lies in Prime Minister Paetongtarn’s handling of decisions made by the National Energy Policy Council (NEPC), the governmental body managing power purchases and pricing. Critics, including Nattapong, argue that Paetongtarn, wielding significant influence, should have been able to guide NEPC decisions more forcefully, given that many council members also serve in her cabinet. Despite Paetongtarn's reasoning that she could not sway collective council decisions dominated by powerful energy producers like Ratch Group Pcl. and Gulf Energy Development Pcl., this defence has not satisfied her critics. Nattapong labelled her justifications as "lame and irrational," suggesting that her government’s claimed initiatives to lower electricity costs lacked genuine commitment or urgency. Adding to the intrigue, Prime Minister Paetongtarn’s father and Pheu Thai's influential figure, Thaksin Shinawatra, was seen playing golf recently with top energy executives and political figures, including Gulf Energy CEO Sarath Ratanavadi and Anutin Charnvirakul of Bhumjaithai. Such engagements raise eyebrows amidst ongoing fuel cost negotiations, stirring public and political speculation about potential conflicts of interest and backdoor dealings. The growing dissatisfaction over energy costs signifies a looming political showdown. Nattapong warns that unless Paetongtarn addresses the power rate crisis head-on, it could become a focal point for a likely no-confidence motion in Parliament. Meanwhile, her critics continue to clamor for immediate reforms or her resignation, painting a turbulent political picture as Thailand wrestles with its economic challenges. Whether Prime Minister Paetongtarn will act by dissolving the House or find another path to soothe discontent remains uncertain. As the situation unfolds, public attention focuses intently on how these critical economic and political decisions will shape Thailand’s near future, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2024-12-26 -
