Border Run Report Cambodia to Thailand and Back
How's this a "border run" if you enter Thailand at a land border (Aranyaprathet) and then fly out from an airport (DMK)? Generally speaking, what people call a border run is going out and back in at the same border crossing, usually within minutes -

Tourist Bus Overturns in Phuket: 20 Injured
Yep... I think thats a common response... "it happens elsewhere"... and its true, it does happen elsewhere.... but perhaps not to the same extent given Thailand's population, especially when compared to countries with stronger safety regulations and higher levels of accountability. We just had our major national Airport shut down in the UK and a lack of redundancy, so issues do happen else where... But, its the reptation of incidents that keep reoccurring here thats shocking... ... when something serious happens, there is no real investigation... if its serious enough or hits enough social media we just see a 'crack-down'... and then back to normal after a few weeks. I've always advised everyone who visits - never take the bus... A friend just did visit... took 10 hours or so from Chiang Mai to Bang Sue - but still had to pay for a taxi so didin't really save much on a one way flights - its just not worth it at all. -

Tesla Dominates Thai EV Market with Top Satisfaction Scores
MG and BYD dealers may be open to all cars in some countries but not in Thailand. Yes they are not free all the time although BYD was free last year. I pay ฿8 at BYD compared to ฿7.5 at EleXA, but at BYD I have access to the customer lounge with aircon drinks and stacks. Both can charge at over 100kW. I had an MG for 4 years but now have a BYD Seal AWD and a BYD M6. I charge them both from solar, my house is off-grid. On long trips like a 900km round trip to BKK a 20m charge at a BYD dealer is sufficient. In the 9,000+ posts in https://aseannow.com/topic/1257405-electric-vehicles-in-thailand/ I don’t remember anyone saying that they had bought a Tesla. They are definitely not good value in Thailand -

Earth's glaciers 'will not survive the 21st century' scientists warn
Earth's glaciers 'will not survive the 21st century' scientists warn - as five of the past six years have seen the most rapid glacier retreat on record Earth's 275,000 glaciers currently store around 70 per cent of the world's freshwater and are relied on by almost two billion people. But to mark World Glacier Day on Friday, scientists now warn that glaciers in many parts of the world 'will not survive the 21st century'. A report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) found that five of the last six years have seen the fastest glacier retreat on record. As this melting releases vast quantities of water, experts warn that 10 million people around the world are now at risk of devastating glacial floods. Since records began in 1975, glaciers have lost more than 9,000 billion tonnes of mass - equivalent to a layer of ice as big as Germany and 15 miles (25km) thick. While this loss has been moderate in areas such as the Canadian Arctic or Greenland, some areas have been hit significantly harder. In Europe’s Alps and Pyrenees, glaciers lost 40 per cent of their mass between 2000 and 2023 alone. WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo says: 'Preservation of glaciers is a not just an environmental, economic and societal necessity. It’s a matter of survival.' Naturally, glaciers shrink during the warm summer months and grow larger with compacted snow which falls over the winter. This process has kept Earth's current glaciers stable throughout the seasons for tens or hundreds of thousands of years. However, since humans began introducing large amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, this balance has now been disturbed. A warming climate, which scientists have conclusively linked to human activity, means that glaciers melt faster in the summer and recover slower in the winter. During 2024, the world's glaciers lost 450 billion tonnes of mass as they shrank - the fourth-worst year on record. In that same period, glaciers in Scandinavia, Svalbard and North Asia saw their greatest annual loss on record. According to the WMO's research, the period between 2022 and 2024 was the largest three-year loss of glacier mass ever recorded. A recent study found that glaciers are now retreating so fast that they release an average of 273 billion tonnes of water every year, or 6,542 billion tons between 2000 and 2023. FULL STORY -

Petition for trump ban on U.K. visit gathers votes
The UK needs the US a lot more than the other way around, and embarrassing Trump and his voting public would have implications. It's not going to happen of course, because the politicians are a bit smarter than the morons signing this petition.
