The smell of Lefty Derangement perviates everywhere,News...
They/them are sick! How many of these loons have had to recant their fake news efforts. The world still listens to the extremists on the left time after time, day after day. Hoping for the one time to GET TRUMP! "Its Wikipedia essay is entirely slanted and does not capture the hatred and vitriol that flow like sewage from the pens and mouths of the Left. To anyone who tuned into CNN, MSNBC or The View the day after the election, they would have thought the world had ended. We weathered 16 years of Clinton and Obama’s storms, so the average Democrat will survive Trump.From the OP source. -

Report Thai Family Seeks Help: 12-Year-Old Vanished in Chon Buri
Noona’s father transferred 300 baht (approximately 8,180 Thai Baht) to her on the day she went missing. How many times has this 'conversion' been posted in various articles. Is the 300 baht not Thai baht? If so what sort of baht is it that makes it worth 8180 Thai baht. Quite confusing. -

Report In-Flight Thief Foiled Mid-Air on Thailand-Hong Kong Flight
Pictures courtesy of Sing Tao Headline A tattoo artist from Hong Kong turned an ill-timed encounter into a successful mid-air sting when he caught a suspect rummaging through his bag just 30 minutes after take-off from Thailand. Exhausted after an 11-hour trip from Norway, with a brief layover in Thailand, the artist was finally relaxing when he witnessed a man, described as a mainland Chinese individual, meddling with his overhead luggage. “I’d gone two days without sleep,” he shared on social media platform Threads under the title "Aircraft Rat." “Luckily, I’m used to not sleeping, so I caught him in the act.” The victim's backpack contained crucial items—a camera and an iPad loaded with valuable tattoo designs. The potential loss underscored his warning to travellers about common in-flight theft tactics: thieves often work in pairs or groups, sitting apart and targeting luggage when passengers are asleep. “Keep valuables out of the overhead bins,” he advised. The artist suggested that these thieves were part of an organised group, sometimes with up to 10 members on a single flight, and fluent in both Mandarin and Thai. Upon witnessing the theft, he informed the cabin crew, who alerted the captain, ensuring that police were waiting when the flight touched down in Hong Kong. According to Hong Kong media source Sing Tao Headline, two suspects were detained, although others allegedly involved remained free due to lack of evidence. Following the incident, several fellow passengers found cash missing from their bags. The tattoo artist took solace in his actions, saying, “It’s like doing a good deed. Better than helping an old lady cross the street.” His social media post prompted a flurry of advice and shared experiences from fellow netizens: “Always keep money and valuables on your person.” “Use a small crossbody bag and cover it with clothing.” “Take your bag into the toilet with you.” “Be cautious on short-haul flights, as thieves often work in groups pretending to retrieve their own luggage.” One commenter recounted a similar experience, stating, “This Chinese New Year, flying from Thailand to Hong Kong, I had HK$40,000 (over 160,000 Thai baht) stolen. I only realised the next day. My fault for putting so much cash in my backpack.” Police and seasoned travellers alike are calling for increased vigilance, highlighting that sometimes the real danger on a flight isn't turbulence, but the 'rats' sharing the cabin.

Where can I buy a UK flag in Pattaya for my motorbike?
Best check with authorities in each country on that, as body armor could be interpreted as falling under "arms and ammunition" and need special permits. -
