Viral Elephant T-Shirts Aid Phuket Sanctuary Through Unusual Art
Photo via Instagram/ farangsgonewild In an unexpected twist of events, an Instagram sensation is turning heads while raising funds for elephants in Thailand. The social media star, known as @farangsgonewild, shared a viral post about an elephant sketch drawn by a Thai woman during a unique performance at a ping pong show in Bangkok. Intriguingly, proceeds from T-shirt sales featuring this artwork will support the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary. The tale begins at the Super Pussy entertainment venue in Patpong, where the Instagrammer, captivated by the spectacle of a ping pong show, witnessed an astonishing feat of dexterity: an elephant sketch created using the artist’s pelvic muscles. Sharing the unusual art on social media, he humorously suggested it deserved a place in the Louvre. Taking the story further, the content creator brought the sketch to the Reignwood Icons of Football event in Bangkok. There, legendary football stars, including Paul Scholes and Luis Figo, added their signatures to the drawing, elevating its status to a masterpiece with a memorable backstory. The viral video of the event attracted substantial attention online, with comments ranging from humorous to praise for what some see as an example of Thailand's "soft power." The creative initiative of turning this art into limited-edition T-shirts aims to yield a positive impact for Phuket elephants, with 100 baht from each sale dedicated to the sanctuary. The Instagrammer's campaign, supported by the signatures of football legends and encouraging charitable contributions, is a testament to the power of social media to inspire both laughter and meaningful change. As the deadline for T-shirt orders approaches, followers keen to own a piece of this extraordinary story are urged to act quickly, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-03-13 -

BBC Senior Managers from Minority Backgrounds Earn More Than Peers, Data Shows
Yes, I support DEI. I prefer the candidate's minority status be taken into consideration when hiring, with the goal of creating a more DEI workforce. I wouldn't categorize the Democrat's candidate in the recent US presidential election as being "flushed down the gurgler." Harris only lost the general election by 2.5% of the vote, and the majorities in both the House and Senate are both very, very slim. I do acknowledge that the plurality of the voters and citizens of the US are probably against DEI, but they are also a plurality of Whites, so being in favor of DEI would not be in their favor. But that is what DEI is all about - correcting the results of biased hiring practices by reversing the bias, at least for a short amount of time, until the makeup of the workforce mirrors that of the population. -

Could it be because the entire auto industry is in recession? Just a blind guess maybe. -

Thailand's Red Line Extension Nears Cabinet Approval in April
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post Thailand's highly anticipated Red Line railway extension from Siriraj Hospital to Salaya is on the brink of securing final Cabinet approval by April. Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit announced that the 15.17 billion baht project has successfully navigated through all bureaucratic channels. Key government bodies such as the Finance Ministry, Budget Bureau, and National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) have already given their nod, propelling the proposal towards the Cabinet's decision desk. Meanwhile, the Department of Rail Transport (DRT) is putting the final touches on its preparations, expected to complete within the week. Once ready, the Secretariat of the Cabinet (SoC) will consult other important ministries, like the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry, to ensure thorough consideration before the final approval. Suriya is optimistic about everything aligning for an early April decision. This extension stretches nearly 21 kilometres from Taling Chan Station in Bangkok to Salaya Station in Nakhon Pathom. Additionally, a new branch to Siriraj Station will ease access to Siriraj Hospital, incorporating eight new stations along the route. With Cabinet approval, construction will commence in January, targeted for completion by January 2029. -

No stamp when leaving at Survanabumi Airport
I want to make things extremely simple for proving non tax residence in any future year and also planning it so I an refer back to my passport. I know you can apply to immigration to get some kind of report of entry and exit dates but this is my own personal record, scanned and backed up on my local computer and wherever I keep copies of such backups. I've never filled an 'extra large' passport in all my years traveling so not worried about that.
