Chon Buri stray dog adopted by American man after firecracker scare
Photo via ThaiRath By Petch Petpailin An American man calmed a stray dog that was frightened by firecrackers during a Chinese New Year celebration in Chon Buri and ended up adopting the animal. ThaiRath reported yesterday that chaos broke out at a convenience store in the Sattahip district of Chon Buri, but the incident surprisingly had a happy ending. According to the media, a white and light brown male stray dog ran into the store to hide after being startled by the loud noise of firecrackers. A Thai-Chinese family in the area set off a firecracker as part of their Chinese New Year celebrations, but their actions scared the animal. The dog hid in a narrow space between two product shelves, turning its face against the wall while its body trembled in fear. Both the store staff and customers were shocked by the dog’s reaction and felt sorry for the animal. The store manager, 33 year old Jadesada Malirat, approached the dog and tried to coax it out of its hiding place. He spent 30 minutes trying but failed as the dog remained in the store and ignored all efforts made by Jadesada and other staff. A foreign customer, later identified as 39 year old American Joe Schuller, noticed the situation and volunteered to help. He offered the dog a piece of bread filled with sausage and approached it gently. Schuller took only 10 minutes to gain the dog’s trust and successfully brought it out of the store. The stray dog ate the food from the foreigner’s hand and even allowed him to pat it. The stray dog then followed Schuller to his electric motorcycle and snuggled up to him as if they had known each other before. It then climbed onto the vehicle, prompting the American man to adopt it. Source: The Thaiger -- 2025-01-29 -

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
So the new tax order doesn't differentiate between Thais and foreigners. Strange there are no Thais on any forums/social media worried about it, except one I saw where someone picking fruit outside Thailand for more than 180 days was concerned. I wonder why Thais are not worried and tax accountants etc are not offering their services? -

Thai motorcyclist hits South Korean man on zebra crossing - video
They do...that the rider is being prosecuted means that they are enforcing traffic laws. WRONG...... 'they' [the police] are not 'enforcing traffic laws'... they are penalising those unfortunate enough to have been involved in an incident when habitually breaking traffic laws... Expand That is called enforcing the law! No... you are mixing up Penalisation vs Enforcement: Enforcement refers to the act of ensuring that laws, rules, or regulations are followed. It involves monitoring compliance, taking preventive measures, and applying necessary actions to make sure rules are upheld. Enforcement can include warnings, inspections, and legal actions, not just punishment. Penalisation specifically refers to the act of imposing a penalty or punishment when a rule or law has been broken. It is a consequence of non-compliance and can include fines, imprisonment, bans, or other forms of sanctions. At the moment there is no or very little proactive law enforcement in Thailand. There is only primarily penalisation 'AFTER' something has happened, after an accident or after someone has been hurt. This is not enforcement, its penalisation.
