Transwoman Arrested in Bangkok for Trafficking Teenage Girls
A Thai transwoman was apprehended at a hotel in Bangkok for sex trafficking two teenage girls, one aged 16 and the other 17. The Children and Women Protection Sub-Division officers uncovered online advertisements featuring the underage girls, leading them to pose as potential clients. The law enforcement officers contacted the 30-year-old transwoman, Samart, who had posted the adverts. An undercover officer arranged a hotel meet in the Charan Sanit Wong district of Bangkok, after negotiating to pay 4,500 baht for sexual services from the teens. Samart and the girls arrived at the hotel where the officers revealed their identities and arrested them. The teenage girls were considered victims and did not face legal consequences. The two charges against Samart are as follows: Section 6 of the Prevention and Suppression of Human Trafficking Act, which condemns profiting from prostitution involving individuals above 15 but below 18 years of age. This charge carries a penalty of six to 15 years in jail and a fine ranging from 600,000 to 1.5 million baht. Section 9 of the same Act, which prohibits encouraging or causing a person aged over 15 but under 18 to be involved in prostitution. This can result in a jail sentence of five to 15 years and a penalty of 100,000 to 300,000 baht.

Thoughts on the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics
Well a lot of people believe that there is just one God, but there are a lot of faiths that believe in multiple deities, and it can be argued whether or not they are Gods, Prophets, Deities or just symbols. And of course the Greeks had multiple Gods that were simply representations of various elements, that doesn't mean that they were all Gods, they were just symbolic deities. These kinds of arguments have been the cause of many wars over the past couple of millennia of recorded history. The bottom line is if you have a comfort level in your own belief system you really don't care what other people think. That's why I have such an issue with contemporary Islam. Their hypersensitivity to criticism and ridicule makes me question how deep their faith really is. -

Rising Star in Thai Motorcycle Racing: Mike Wellers Journey to Championship Contender
I tried googling his name, didn't come up with very much at all other than a facebook post of him being interviewed at the Indian Supercross Racing League back in February. For a 12 year old he coped very well with the interview. Any chance you might point me to where I can find more information about the reason for him being banned from riding in Thailand? -

Trump's Controversial Remarks at Black Journalists' Convention Sparks Outrage
You are, of course, aware that slavery is not a USA-centric thang, right? Just because the southern USA thought it was a great economic plan way longer than the rest of the world doesn't mean they were the only purveyors. Also, nice to hear an old white guy pontificating on the morals of others in history. Not out of place at all, especially with no evidence, only your sadly weird conjecture. -

Baht Bombing!
Historically, fair value against USD is around 32/33, which implies around 42 against the Pound, unless one side weakens or strengthens. -

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
I have taken to searching out a few older and "different" movies and came across some which I liked, a couple in particular starring Klaus Kinski! The first one being "Aguirre: The Wrath of God" where much of the action takes place in South America at the time of the Spanish "expeditions", and Klaus Kinski plays the part of a driven soldier, who turns mad towards the end of this expedition. Much of it takes place on a makeshift raft, but was well worth viewing IMO. The second one starring Klaus Kinski was called "Fitzcarraldo" as well as Claudia Cardinale, and deals with the man's obsession/madness (he seems to play these parts very well) as regards building an opera house in the jungle. The film is remarkable in its portrayal of a large boat being hauled over a mountain. I also found a movie I had never seen before called, "The Hunting Party" which is a western, starring Oliver Reed as a cowboy, would you believe, as well as Candice Bergen who stayed pretty well immaculate throughout it, and Gene Hackman. The movie had shades of "Peckinpah" about it with regards to the bloodshed, and was worth watching although the story was very weak. In looking for these movies I came across a website which features many unusual movies, and I accessed this through the link to the Aguirre, the Wrath of God movie. I will be searching on that website for more rare movies and docos.
