Brutal assault on Canadian raises serious questions about tourist safety in Pattaya
Mafia run everything in Thailand. The veneer of civility is very thin. That's why Thai people are so "kind and friendly". They know things can go south in an instant. -

Thailand Advances Toward Legalising Casinos to Boost Tourism
The uber-riche and wealthy can buy in and make a fortune. But anyone betting on cock-fights will face prison time. That's about right, yeah? -

Poll: Who will Kamala Harris pick to be her VP?
VP pick's are not going to chance any minds in this election cycle. The only concern is not alienating anyone. Anti-Israel leftists wringing their hands about Shapiro, are not going to vote for Trump. They know they have an ally with Kamala, and the top of the ticket is what matters. The only thing I think that can stop Harris at this point is if she starts doing live interviews, debates or anything that requires spontaneity. -

I didn't answer because it's obvious I'm not one to assume things, especially things no one knows about. You can only ask them individually, then keep asking. Since these are your types, spend time asking them. When you get to 100, you can see the percentage. -

Thailand’s park department concerns over forest conservation bills
Thailand’s Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) raised serious concerns over two proposed bills aimed at protecting indigenous people’s land rights. The department argues these bills could significantly undermine forest conservation efforts across the country. DNP Chief Attapol Charoenshunsa stated that, if passed, the bills put forward by the civil rights group P-Move and the Ministry of Culture would transfer protected land to individuals he referred to as forest encroachers and capitalists. Attapol commented, specifically criticising P-Move’s bill. “The bills will also encourage further encroachment into protected forest areas.” This bill seeks to grant amnesty to individuals convicted under several forest and environmental laws, allowing them to remain on the land until their legal right to do so is verified. From 2015 to today, the DNP documented 13,760 cases of forest encroachment involving 2,718 offenders, covering 180,002.71 rai of encroached land. Additionally, the department reported 1,140 instances of forest burning and 9,713 illegal logging cases during this period. The bill proposed by the Ministry of Culture aims to protect and promote the heritage of ethnic indigenous peoples, including the safeguarding of hill groups’ spiritual sites. If enacted, the bill would involve community members collaborating with local government officials to designate sacred and culturally significant areas that would be exempt from forest protection laws. A DNP source highlighted that this bill could undermine conservation efforts by granting ethnic committees the power to designate any area, even protected forest reserves, as sacred sites. The source stressed the importance of careful scrutiny, as forest preservation, animal hunting, and burning laws would not apply in these designated areas. These two bills will effectively curb the ability of forest conservationists to protect the interests of the general public, who are the ultimate owners as the source stated, noting that current national park laws were designed to maintain harmonious living conditions and have allowed people to coexist in protected forest areas. The department remains firm in its stance that any legal changes should not compromise the nation’s forest conservation and preservation objectives, reported Bangkok Post.

One dead, 30 injured in Singapore Airlines emergency landing
Another similar incident last Sunday, thankfully no deaths and not near Thailand, but highlights the need to keep those seatbelts buckled up. Korean Air in my post above said that “the number of turbulence-related incidents has doubled in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2019.” Korean Air flight KE197, an Airbus A330-323 (registration HL7584) carrying 281 passengers, encountered severe turbulence while en route from Incheon to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The incident occurred at an altitude of 34,100 feet (10.4 km) near Tianjin Airport, China, around 09:40 on the 4th, approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes after takeoff. At the time, the flight was navigating around a thunderstorm, which resulted in the aircraft experiencing intense turbulence at 34,100 feet. The plane descended rapidly, shaking violently for about 15 seconds. Passengers' food was scattered due to the turbulence. According to reports, 10 passengers and 4 crew members sustained injuries. All were given first aid on the plane and re-evaluated upon arrival at the destination airport in Ulaanbaatar. Fortunately, no one required hospitalisation, as the injuries were minor. -
