Man Kills Wife in Drunken Rage, Locks 12-Year-Old Son Inside Before Taking His Own Life
Picture from responders. A domestic dispute ended in a murder-suicide on Koh Samui after a man killed his wife, locked their 12-year-old son inside the house, and then took his own life. Police in Bo Phut, Koh Samui, were alerted to the incident in the early hours of 31 January. Officers from Bo Phut Police Station, forensic experts, and rescue workers rushed to the scene at a rented wooden house in Ban Plai Laem Soi 4. At the front of the house, they discovered the body of Mayura 47, a hotel housekeeper. She was found face-down in a pool of blood with multiple deep slash wounds on her neck and arms. Nearby, under a mango tree, the body of her husband, Ubon, 53, a labourer, was found with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth and hanging from the tree. The couple's 12-year-old son recounted the horrifying events to police. He explained that his stepfather and mother had been together for five years but were not legally married. Their relationship was troubled, with frequent arguments due to his stepfather's drinking habits. Ubon had promised to quit drinking, but on the night of the incident, Mayura returned home to find him consuming alcohol again. A heated argument ensued. When the confrontation escalated, the boy tried to intervene and pleaded with his stepfather not to hurt his mother. However, Ubon locked him inside the house before attacking Mayura. Desperate to escape, the boy broke a window and ran to a neighbour for help. He then called the police, but by the time he returned, both his mother and stepfather were already dead. Police are continuing their investigation but believe the incident was the result of long-standing domestic tensions fuelled by alcohol abuse. The young boy is now in the care of local authorities while arrangements for his future are being made. -- 2025-02-01 -

Thaksin Granted Court Permission to Visit Malaysia
Just like "Teflon Tony", there are many people everywhere who stands above the law and enjoy some priorities that are not apply to others. That's how it works in almost every country. -

Thai airline flight makes emergency landing in Phuket
In flight engine failures are not a major problem, systems are built in to account for the loss of power on one side. Aircraft have altitude and forward speed in their favour. Pilots are rigorously trained in simulators for this very reason, and situation. On-point of take off it can become more problematic. -

Is this true: "Bangkok is garbage now a great place for naive clueless tourists and overpay"
Thanks @Walker88 - appreciate the thoughtful reply. I definitely think BKK will be a great adventure. My title probably sounded a bit offensive or even dumb. I've lived (on business) in Taipei, HK, and Shanghai. Whilst they were all fantastic places, They were expensive. It sort of bothered me that I came back home basically broke after hearing how "cheap" Asia is! Hoping BKK and surrounding countries will be as you say and also, much cheaper! This trip I hope to take in some of the more high end entertainment in BKK and not break the bank. In any case, lots of good information here. Looking forward to getting over there and being another Westerner with the "What the <deleted>" look on his face 🙂 Once again, cheers.
