Drunken Assault Shocks Pattaya as Tourist Attacked Unprovoked
Picture courtesy of Expedia In the early hours of April 17th, a Pakistani tourist's peaceful morning walk on Pattaya Klang Beach took a shocking turn when he was assaulted without reason by an intoxicated Thai man. The incident unfolded at 4:40 am, leaving the 35-year-old visitor, Mohammad Iqbal, stunned and bleeding. Iqbal was merely enjoying Pattaya's vibrant atmosphere when the attacker, a 31-year-old local identified as Thana, approached him and punched him in the face, injuring his lip. Thankfully, a fellow Pakistani tourist quickly restrained Thana until the police arrived. When officers questioned Thana, he openly confessed to the unprovoked attack, attributing his behaviour to intoxication from "downing a small bottle of white liquor." Witnesses claimed the man, known in the area for his disruptive antics, was gathering bottles along the beach before the surprising assault. Despite Thana's pleas for lenience, the authorities seemed unmoved, given his extensive criminal record. Investigations revealed his long-standing history of petty offences and violent conduct, often leading to numerous arrests and imprisonments. Locals described Thana as a regular nuisance, known for troubling tourists and residents alike. Police have now detained him for further questioning and plan to press new charges, reaffirming Pattaya's commitment to ensuring safety for all its visitors, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-17 -

what apps do you recommend for calling overseas from Thailand.
True, with the small amount of calls to landlines (banks, Tax man etc) I would not go with Vonage. I have started using Viber and it is very good reception and no problems with the line connection (mobile to landline in the UK). -

China tells airlines to suspend Boeing jet deliveries
IMO it isn't so much a case of who will win this tariff trade war, and which side will fold first. 1. It's overwhelmingly obvious by now that America (and the euros to some degree) want to contain China. Trump in his first term put tariffs on China, Biden did too, and now Trump has put even more tariffs. It's just like a extortion/blackmailing/protection money kinda of situation: once you pay, there will almost be more demands in the future. 2. 15% (400+ billion) of China exports to the US is good chunk of money. But none of that export is in truly high profit (profit for China) products, as I have detailed here 3. China is/was coerced into buying soybean, LNG from the US. LNG is especially a costly one, as they have access to cheap Russian gas and oil. 4. So overall, the economic benefit of this 15% of exports isn't nearly as big as you would think at face value. China had already reduced US exports as a PERCENTAGE of their total exports (from something like 30% down to 15%). No need to think they can't survive cutting the remaining 15%. 5. That 15% US exports is 3% of China GDP. So even if all of that were to disappear, the China GDP would go down by 3%. Except it wouldn't, because the China government is sitting on tons of reserve cash, and they can easily afford to use that to cushion to blow. 6. Both the Republicans and Democrats in the US see China's economic strength as a long term problem, and have so for years. So I don't think the US will "fold" either. They just don't like the way Trump went about it. You would think, that with all the anti-China propaganda released by the west, it would be easy to marshall a coalition against China in terms of trade. But Trump did the exact opposite: he pissed off everybody. -

Indiana Mother Charged After Armed Visit to School Over Alleged ‘Indoctrination’
Perhaps time for anyone other than the police entering school premises with a gun to be regarded as a legitimate target and shot on sight. -

Karoline Leavitt: The Young Firebrand Behind Trump’s Messaging Revival
She’s from a red neck state , New Hampshire, “ Live Free or Die”. A strong Libertarian culture. Tons of Harley Hoggie’s & Nascar Race fanatics , with lots & lots of guns. Only 27 years old and articulate , very well versed in American populism. She ran for a congressional seat and lost by a narrow margin. I expect her to be verbally & possibly physically assaulted by the left soon! Thats what they / them did To Sarah Huckerby Sanders when she was Press Secretary. This is what their democracy looks like, when they can’t beat you at the ballot box . You know she’s over the target , when the left wing media comes out with articles like this!Her first day on the job! Trump’s press chief shows she’s more than capable of going full North Korea https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/28/trump-press-secretary-karoline-leavitt
