Cheap decent red wine
I can't find good cheap wine in Thailand. I can tolerate a wine called Hope's End Red Blend that I buy at Food Mart for around THB 550 for a 750ml bottle. It's not good, but it beats everything else I have tried in the under THB 600 (USD $18) price point. I had no problem at all in Australia or the States finding good cheap wine. One of my favorite cheap wines back home is USD $10 but here that same bottle is THB 999 (USD $30). -

Heavy Rains Cause Chaos in Patong, Authorities Urge Vigilance
Heavy rains have wreaked havoc in Patong, with landslips and potholes forming on waterlogged roads, culminating in a significant incident yesterday when a large tree fell onto power lines between Patong and Kamala. Patong Mayor Chalermsak Maneesri today urged all residents and drivers to remain extra cautious. In an official notice issued on 20th September, the Patong Municipality warned the public to "Watch out! Follow the situation of flash floods, forest runoff, flooding, mudslides, and strong wind waves." Residents affected by these adverse conditions are advised to seek help at the Emergency Operations Centre for Disaster Relief located at Patong Municipality. Incidents can be reported to the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office, which is operational round the clock at 076-342600. Repair teams have been swiftly deployed to fix damaged roads and drains, while officials stay vigilant in monitoring landslide-prone areas. Yesterday afternoon's heavy rain and strong winds were so severe that a large tree collapsed onto high-voltage power lines, blocking traffic on the Kamala-Patong road. Patong Traffic Police responded promptly, cordoning off the area and managing traffic flow. Officials from the Provincial Electricity Authority's Patong branch were on the scene to repair the damaged power lines and remove the fallen tree. Patong Police warned that should the heavy rain persist, the area will stay sectioned off to prevent further incidents, likely causing more traffic delays. Residents and drivers are encouraged to stay updated on weather conditions and take necessary precautions while the situation develops. File photo for reference only -- 2024-09-20 -

Thailand Tightens Rules on Banks, Telecoms to Combat Online Scams
In a decisive move to tackle the growing issue of online scams, Thailand's Digital Economy and Society Ministry (DES) has announced amendments to regulations, making banks and telecom operators accountable for negligence in handling such crimes. During the "60 Years of Excellence: Creating Great Leaders, Designing the Future" seminar hosted by the Thailand Management Association, DES Permanent Secretary Wisit Wisitsora-At highlighted the new measures. These rules aim to strengthen last year’s anti-technological crime regulations by specifically targeting negligent service providers whose actions, or lack thereof, facilitate online scams. "Enforcement will depend on the negligence level of the service provider related to the victim's losses," Wisit explained, underlining the DES Ministry's focus on enhancing digital trust. With online scams and gambling constituting an estimated 45% of Thailand’s GDP, such measures are deemed critical. Additionally, the ministry allocated 200 million baht (US$6 million) for the 2025 fiscal year to further its e-government "Cloud First" policy, which will transition state agencies to paperless operations and support advanced technologies like data analytics and artificial intelligence. By 2024, Thailand expects 50% of its government services to be paperless, spanning various ministries and agencies. On the manpower front, the DES Ministry will launch a "learn to earn" platform to address labour shortages by efficiently matching skilled workers with market demands. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to boost Thailand's digital competitiveness and improve its global ranking. The ministry's comprehensive approach, from tightening regulations to modernising government operations and addressing digital manpower needs, marks a significant stride toward a safer and more advanced digital future for Thailand.

Thai police shut down 21 villas on Koh Samui, foreigners evicted
20 years ago Samui was not properly surveyed - and still that situation lingers on Samui and many other parts of Thailand - this means that both real ownership and boundaries are not set in stone. THis means the land is ripe for corrupt deals.
