Thai Cinema Celebrates Historic Oscar Shortlist Achievement
File photo for reference only Yesterday marked a groundbreaking moment for Thai cinema as GDH announced that their film, *How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies*, has been shortlisted for the 97th Academy Awards in the Best International Feature Film category. Directed by Pat Boonnitipat and written by Ped Thodsapon, this film has made history as Thailand's first to reach the prestigious shortlist, joining the ranks of 14 other films from an original pool of 85 international entries. As we anticipate the final nomination announcement on January 17, 2025, and the eventual reveal of the winners on March 2, the spotlight is firmly on Thailand's burgeoning film industry. GDH has lauded the creative team, from producers Jira Maligool and Vanridee Pongsittisak to lead actors Usha Seamkhum and Putthipong Assaratanakul, for their incredible contributions. The heartfelt support from fans, who affectionately call the film *Grandma*, has been integral to this success. Since 1984, Thailand has persistently submitted films for this category but never made it to the final 15—until now. Previous notable submissions include *The Story of Nampoo*, *The Overture*, and *Krasue: Inhuman Kiss*. This milestone underscores the expanding global recognition of Thai cinema and sets the stage for a promising future for its filmmakers, infusing pride across creators and supporters alike. With the final nominations approaching, anticipation and excitement continue to rise both within Thailand and globally. -- 2024-12-19 -

Chaos in Canada following Freelands exit
The headline is that there is chaos in Canada. There is not. Nor is there chaos in the liberal party. There is a group that wants Trudeau to resign as they think it will save their position. It won't. There is another group who wants him to stay, and another group who were backing Trudeau to bring in Mark Carney as finance minister and then leader if the arty as a smooth transition. This is why Freeland resigned. Trudeau is lobbying for a job at the UN. -

Chiang Mai fraud suspect arrested for bamboo blind scam
Photo courtesy of KhaoSod By Puntid Tantivangphaisal A significant fraud case involving over 50 victims duped into paying for bamboo blinds they never received has culminated in the arrest of the alleged perpetrator. Since 2018, numerous complaints have been filed, with victims coming forward to report being scammed by a Facebook page with a misleading name. The accused, who had been evading the police, was finally apprehended in Chiang Mai. The culmination of the case unravelled yesterday, December 18, when police from the Region 5 Investigation Division, under the supervision of Worapong Khamlue, coordinated with central police to arrest the suspect. The suspect had been hiding out in Chiang Mai, after allegedly committing multiple frauds in Chon Buri. “We received intelligence that led us to believe the suspect was in the area, and we worked with local police to confirm his location.” The suspect was tracked to a village in the San Kamphaeng district, where he had lived two years ago with an ex-girlfriend. Although the two had since separated, investigators had been monitoring his mobile phone activity in the area. With this information, they secured a search warrant and proceeded to the location, only to find he had moved to another district, Saraphi. Local administrative officers and the residential management of Bua Khae Village provided crucial information that aided the investigative team in their pursuit. Subsequently, police followed the lead to Saraphi, where they finally located and arrested 32 year old Thanakornwit, in compliance with a Chiang Mai Provincial Court warrant. He faces charges of fraud and deceitfully introducing falsified information into a computer system, causing potential harm to individuals. During interrogation, Thanakornwit confessed to the crimes. He explained that he originally operated a legitimate business selling bamboo blinds, advertising heavily on Facebook. This online promotion attracted a large customer base, resulting in an overwhelming number of orders. However, due to production delays at the factory, he was unable to fulfil these orders. Compounding his problems, he misused the funds for personal financial issues, leaving him unable to procure the products for his customers. “I started with a legitimate business but things spiralled out of control when I couldn’t keep up with the demand.” His actions resulted in numerous complaints being filed across various regions, particularly in Chiang Mai and several other provinces. Police have now taken Thanakornwit into custody at Chang Phueak Police Station, where he will face prosecution. They are also coordinating with other investigators handling related cases to ensure comprehensive legal action is taken against him, reported KhaoSod. Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-12-19 -

Here's what happens when the world's richest man buys the presidency
Trump has about 30% of Americans in his cult of personality. The other 20% are people he has conned. I am not American, I don't care if I don't attract people to my side of the fence. I call it as I see it, and I doubt there are many so-called aliens who regard the election of a felon and sexual predator as anything but a sick joke. Support your foreign allies? Trump is an isolationist who wants to disengage from the rest of the world. As for illegal migrants, be careful what you wish for. Without them, the crops that feed America would stay rotting on the ground. -
