Older Retirees and Younger Partners in Rural Thailand: Accepted or Not?
Sure, these old farts - almost leftovers, kicked outs, outcasts - will find a poor girl - often half age of their daughters - who saw a way out of poverty, caring for her family. In simple words: HE bought HER. It's life time prostitution. HE pays. -

Accident Van and Truck Collision in Chai Nat Injures Five Pilgrims
Picture courtesy of KhaoSod A collision between a passenger van and a truck in Chai Nat has left five people injured, highlighting concerns over road safety. The accident unfolded on the Asia Highway in Sing Buri province, as the van carried pilgrims making merit to the revered Wat Pak Khlong Makham Thao. Shortly before the crash, the truck driver, Thossawat, experienced a mechanical failure. "A spring in the left front wheel broke," he recounted, leading his vehicle to lose control and strike the van. The incident was reported to Police Lieutenant Sataaporn Butrthaka of Mueang Sing Buri Police Station, who coordinated a swift response. Arriving at kilometre marker 83 + 500, alongside the Ruamkatanyu Foundation of Sing Buri, officers discovered the van crushed against a roadside barrier, its left side badly damaged. Five passengers, all elderly women vendors from Bang Bon market in Bangkok, were injured. They were swiftly taken to Sing Buri Hospital. Van driver Sangsarn, 58, who had picked up the nine passengers, detailed how the truck suddenly veered into the van's path from the far left lane, causing it to smash into the barrier. The truck driver, Thossawat, 37, was transporting tapioca flour to Nakhon Sawan when the accident occurred. Despite intending to return for repairs in Nakhon Sawan, the mechanical failure struck first. Authorities have taken him in for questioning and will pursue legal action where necessary. This incident underscores the need for improved vehicle maintenance and safety checks, especially when transporting vulnerable passengers. As the legal process unfolds, there is a communal desire for enhanced road safety measures to prevent such occurrences in the future. Accidents like this not only disrupt lives but also raise awareness of the critical role of vehicle upkeep. Both the van and truck drivers were simply continuing their duties when tragedy struck, reminding us all of the importance of stringent safety protocols. As investigations continue, the community awaits further developments, hopeful for justice and renewed vigilance on the roads. In the context of the lives impacted, the financial implications are also significant, with potential costs converting from any B150,000 in medical and legal expenses. It's a sobering reminder of the real-world consequences of road safety issues. As the affected individuals recover, the focus remains on supporting them and preventing future tragedies.

Military Royal Thai Air Force Unveils Locally-Made Kamikaze Drone
Azerbaijan, Morocco, Estonia and India have confidence. The UK and Brazil did too. The drones served Azerbaijan quite nicely when deployed against the Russian equipped and backed Armenians. Morocco has used them effectively against Saharan insurgents. Both muslim countries. The Israeli pagers operation was intended to cripple Hezbollah commanders and were not sold as military equipment. Unlike the drones purchased for a specified declared use, the pagers were actually imported for military use, contrary to sanctions applied to Hezbollah, so one is not in a position to complain. You are pathetic. It was a joke, Joyce (if you know Oz TV) -
