Sorry for the typo, yes it is 150k zero rated. So that is between 400 & 500k before any tax is due, yes? -

I can see how this could happen... but, can't see how this can happen in any caring family. The carelessness and lack of value placed on the lives of children here often astonishes me.. ... from the frequent village pond drownings to examples of astonishing carelessness... -

Mor Lam dancer sexually assaulted and pulled off stage in Isaan
Photo via Facebook/ หมอลำซิ่งขวัญใจเพชรอุดร By Petch Petpailin A Thai man sexually assaulted a female dancer and pulled her off the stage during a performance in the Isaan province of Nong Khai, resulting in her sustaining an injury. The Mor Lam performance band, Kwanjai Phet Udon, shared a video of the incident on its official Facebook page to seek justice for the dancer and raise awareness among audiences about the importance of respecting performers and preventing similar incidents. The post stated… “Respecting artists and team members is the simplest thing to do. Please have sympathy for us and others in this industry. Jane (the victim) is now safe. She initially experienced pain in her shoulder, head, and ankle. We provided her with first aid before sending her to a hospital. Her condition has improved significantly. Thank you for everyone’s encouragement.” In the video, Jane, dressed in a vivid blue dancer’s costume, can be seen being pulled by a member of the audience. Despite her attempts to free herself, she failed and suddenly fell off the stage, leaving the other performers in shock. At one point in the footage, the audience, believed to be a man, appeared to attempt to touch her private parts, but Jane managed to protect herself. No legal action The leader of the band, 24 year old Arunroj “Beer” Thaviwit, spoke to ThaiRath about the incident yesterday, December 2. Beer revealed that the incident occurred at around 11pm on December 30 at a private event in Nong Khai. According to Beer, the suspect requested to hold Jane’s hand and offered her tips. Jane sat down to accept the money and hold his hand, but he unexpectedly pulled her off the stage. Beer disclosed that the event organiser contacted him and offered Jane 5,000 baht in compensation. Another band leader, 19 year old Wittaya Chuaykamchoo, told the media that the band usually employed security guards to monitor the front of the stage. However, the guards were occupied with another performer’s team behind the stage when the incident occurred. Wittaya emphasised that the incident was not related to the dancers’ revealing costumes, noting that it is common for Mor Lam dancers to wear such attire. Wittaya expressed hope that other event organisers would take this incident as a warning and implement measures to protect performers, preventing similar occurrences in the future. Many Thai netizens urged the band to pursue legal action against the audience member responsible. They argued that 5,000 baht in compensation was inadequate given the injuries and health risks Jane endured. Source: The Thaiger -- 2025-01-03 -

Would You Inspect Your Own Work? A Contemplative Discussion on Methane and Human Morality
Let’s paint the picture. You’re sitting comfortably, perhaps after just consuming a delightful, spicy Thai meal of dubious gastrointestinal harmony. Suddenly, a shift in your lower torso sends forth a gust of unanticipated methane into the atmosphere, a natural, common, and unremarkable occurrence in the grand tapestry of human existence. But then fate often has a sense of humor, and by sheer serendipity, your hands happened to be places behind your back, directly in the path of this transient gaseous and gusting emission. But here’s where the question gets interesting: having inadvertently “wafted” this manifestation of digestion into your own palm, would you then lift your hand up to your nose to inspect your work? Not as an act of self-sabotage, nor out of any grotesque fascination, but perhaps out of idle curiosity or possibly even scientific inquiry? It might not be an easy question to answer straight away, without employing some further contemplation, but it can reveal something about human nature. The very idea might seem repulsive, even a line you may never want to cross. However, some might argue that it’s harmless, maybe just simply an instinctual act. After all, isn’t there something inherently human about wanting to understand the world around us, even if that road to discovery includes the inner workings of our intestinal system? There’s even an argument to be made for those who do actually lean into their curiosity. Our sense of smell is deeply tied to our biology and emotions. By inspecting the outcome of our own bodily functions, we might subconsciously be gathering data: Am I healthy? Was that Som Tam covered in rotting fermented fish worth it? Should I avoid Thai stink beans before a romantic meeting with the opposite sex? These are valid questions, all of which could, in theory, be answered with a single, self-inflicted whiff of your index finger. But then there are the social ramifications. Even if you’re alone, the act of sniffing your own “wafted work” feels taboo, doesn’t it? It’s the kind of thing that would make you look over your shoulder, just to make sure nobody else is watching, even if you’re bed alone, tightly wrapped under the covers. Why is that? Is it because we are conditioned to view our bodily functions as something shameful, to be kept secret rather than examined and contemplated? Presumably the answer to the question comes down to a bit of personal philosophy. Are you one to embrace curiosity, and the notion of gaining new knowledge at all times, even when it leads to potentially questionable acts? Or do you draw a hard line at methane-based self-introspection? No judgment here, just a simple inquiry into the strange and sometimes unusual quirks of human behavior. So, would you inspect your own work, or is it a hands-down hard pass for you?
