Pattaya: Woman Dragged Along Road as Bag Snatchers Flee on Motorbike
Picture courtesy of TMN. A woman was left injured after two thieves on a motorbike attempted to snatch her bag in broad daylight in Central Pattaya. The victim, Ms. Saifon, 49, from Buriram, sustained scrapes and bruises to her knees and elbows after being dragged along the road during the incident. Ms. Saifon reported the crime to Pol. Lt. Saijai Kamjulla, an investigator at Pattaya City Police Station, in a visibly shaken and injured state. She recounted that the attack occurred as she and a friend were walking to have lunch near Soi 2 Arunothai in Central Pattaya. Two assailants on an unidentified motorcycle approached from behind. The pillion rider violently grabbed Ms. Saifon's shoulder bag and attempted to speed away. Acting on pure instinct, she clung to the strap of her bag in an effort to prevent the theft. This resulted in her being dragged along the road and sustaining injuries. The assailants eventually abandoned the bag and fled the scene at high speed, heading toward the Arunothai traffic light junction. Ms. Saifon's friend, who was with her at the time, later accompanied her to the police station to provide a witness statement. Pattaya City Police issued a radio alert to officers to search for the suspects along potential escape routes. Investigators are also working to retrieve and review CCTV footage from the area to identify and apprehend the perpetrators. -- 2025-01-07 -

Correction: I was curious so I looked it up, the workforce is actually 40 million, according to BOI in 2023, so 10 million who don't file taxes. (Note also: the population is only 66 million) https://www.boi.go.th/index.php?page=demographic&language=en#:~:text=of Provincial Administration-,Labour Force,severance packages%2C and overtime payments. -

Idiots that enter Iran for any reason should not expect to be rescued. Same goes for Despotic North Korea, Communist China, & Fascist Russia. It's like diving into a stormy ocean and expecting people to come to your rescue. -

Thailand Post to Hike Fees Again as Costs Rise
File photo Thailand Post, the nation's leading postal service provider, has announced its decision to implement a second increase in postage fees in less than two years. This change, which comes amid rising operational costs, is set to affect a wide array of postal services. Just last year, for the first time in nearly two decades, Thailand Post raised its service charges. Now, facing continued financial pressures, the organisation finds itself raising fees once more. These adjustments will impact a variety of services including envelope letters, packaged letters, registered envelope letters, printed goods, postcards, and parcels. Primarily driven by escalating fuel prices and increased wage demands, these fee hikes are part of Thailand Post's efforts to maintain financial sustainability while continuing to offer reliable service. The cost adjustments are carefully calibrated to reflect the changing economic landscape without compromising service quality. For customers regularly sending items within Thailand or internationally, these increases could mean a notable difference in expenses. For example, the cost of posting a standard letter within Thailand will see a modest rise, with charges for regular parcels seeing a more significant adjustment. To soften the blow of these new costs, Thailand Post is encouraging customers to consider its Eco Post service. This service offers a budget-friendly alternative to registered mail, providing similar tracking capabilities at a reduced price. Eco Post has been well-received by regular and business clients alike for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Converting these new rates into Thai Baht: where previously a simple parcel might have cost around 32 THB, customers may now expect to pay closer to 35 THB, depending on size and destination. International rates are subject to varying increases based on destination and weight, reflecting the additional costs of cross-border logistics. Despite these changes, Thailand Post remains dedicated to offering comprehensive postal solutions across the nation. The organisation continues to adapt to both local and global economic pressures, investing in technology and service improvements to streamline operations and enhance customer satisfaction. This measure, though essential from an operational standpoint, is likely to draw mixed reactions from the public. Frequent postal users might need to adjust their budgeting strategies, while businesses that rely heavily on postal services may explore alternative delivery methods or partners. As Thailand Post navigates these challenges, it assures customers of its commitment to transparency and timely service delivery, emphasising that these adjustments are critical for maintaining the integrity and future of postal services in the country. The company is anticipated to release further details on the specific fee changes in the coming weeks, providing ample time for customers to prepare for these new rates, reported The Nation. -- 2025-01-07
