Man on Drugs Sets His Own House on Fire After Attempting Suicide in Buriram
Picture of the house involved. On August 24, at approximately 08:30, local police in Na Pho district, Buriram province, received a report of a house fire in the village of Nong Waeng, Don Kok subdistrict. Police officers, led by Pol. Lt. Prida Charoenrat, coordinated with the local fire department to extinguish the flames. Upon arrival, firefighters and neighbours were able to control the fire, which was mostly confined to the second floor of the house. The person responsible for starting the fire was identified as Mr. Prawit, also known as "Kob" (surname withheld), a 31-year-old man and the son of the homeowner. He was taken in for questioning. Mr. Prawit confessed that he set the fire due to frustration over several issues, particularly being annoyed with his father for waking him up every morning. The father, Mr. Buala (surname withheld), 58, recounted that he was sleeping on the ground floor while his son was on the second floor. Around 08:30 he called out to his son to come down for breakfast, but received no response. He then yelled, "Why do I always have to wake up before you?" Shortly after, he heard a loud "thud" upstairs but did not pay much attention until neighbours alerted him to the fire. They quickly gathered to put it out before calling the fire department. Upon further inspection, it appeared that his son had attempted to hang himself but the rope broke, leading him to set the house on fire instead. Mr. Buala revealed that his son had a history of drug addiction and had previously been jailed for damaging a neighbour's car. Despite several attempts at rehabilitation, his son continued to abuse methamphetamine. Mr. Buala expressed his frustration, stating that his son's mental health had deteriorated because of the drug use and that he had even physically attacked him in the past. Unable to cope any longer, Mr. Buala declared that he planned to remove his son from the household registration and send him away, as he feared what might happen next. A neighbour , Mrs. Kanung (surname withheld), 48, corroborated the story, saying she heard Mr. Buala repeatedly calling out to his son before hearing a loud noise and soon after noticing smoke. She believes that Mr. Prawit's hallucinations from drug use led to the incident, adding that he had become so addicted to methamphetamine that he resorted to digging up insects to sell for 70-80 baht per day, using the money or even bartering the insects to obtain drugs. As for the legal proceedings, police have taken Mr. Prawit into custody for further questioning at the Na Pho Police Station. Charges have not yet been filed, pending an investigation and the decision of the homeowner on how to proceed. -- 2024-08-25 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Lao borders (some at least) now requiring overnight stay?
Maybe some folks didn't understand my point. Don't get me wrong, I always like Thailand, i just don't like when they always add new useless rules. By the way I don't have any stress as I use a border run agency that bring me to Cambodia and it's all in one day. But when I hear these things I start to getting bored. Why folks must stay for 2 nights outside the country. It's just a border bounce. Ridiculous -

POLL: Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
If you're pretend-"sad" about people you don't even know (who are not in any way demonstrably sad themselves): Then you're not really sad at all. You're just a passive-aggressive dimwit who likes to virtue signal to people who laugh at you. -

Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
Given the volume of men complaining about lack of sex period in their marriage, pretty obviously not a hard rule. Never mind that some of the most affectionate women I've known, have quite possibly been somewhat asexual. No amount of care for you is going to help overcome that, and why would you want that anyway? -

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Visits Flood-Affected Nan Province, Distributes Aid by Boat
On August 24, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, leader of the Pheu Thai Party, along with several Members of Parliament, including former Public Health Minister Dr. Cholnan Srikaew, visited Nan Province to provide morale and aid to those affected by severe flooding. The group’s first stop was at the Nan Municipality, where they met with Mayor Surapol Thiansut and assisted in the distribution of food from a makeshift kitchen set up to help flood victims. The kitchen also served as a donation point for rice and dried food, while the Nan Provincial Public Health Office distributed medical supplies, including medications to prevent leptospirosis. Prime Minister Paetongtarn personally helped cook eggs and prepare meals for the flood-affected residents. Afterward, she traveled to the Ban Nong Tao Community Hall in Phu Phiang District and Ban Kong Kwai in Mueang Nan District to distribute survival kits, offering encouragement to the local population. She was warmly received by large crowds at each location. The Prime Minister and her team even boarded a flat-bottomed boat at Ban Tha Li to visit those still stranded in flood-hit areas. In an interview during her visit, Paetongtarn commented on the severity of the flood, noting that many areas were still inundated and without electricity. As the leader of Pheu Thai, she reassured the affected communities that her party’s MPs would continue to distribute food and water. Despite the hardships, she was touched by the resilience of the residents, who greeted her with smiles and waves. She expressed her intention to return more frequently once she fully assumes her duties as Prime Minister. Paetongtarn also addressed concerns about her inability to visit Phrae Province due to travel complications caused by airport issues and changing weather conditions. Although she wanted to go, MPs from the area were dispatched to manage the situation. When asked about her concerns over the potential for worsening floods, Paetongtarn noted that in many areas, including Nan, the situation was improving as water levels began to recede. However, she emphasized that maintaining morale was critical. She also mentioned that central Thailand was preparing for potential flood risks and that MPs would be closely monitoring the situation. Despite improvements, she acknowledged that several areas across the north and south, including Phuket, remained of concern. -- 2024-08-25 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Intolerant to statins looking for alternative drugs and doctor recommendations
Fair enough. In some instances it is necessary to take them indefinitely. For heart disease, the problem appears to be too complex to fix with a pill. Statins have been used for a long time, but heart disease rates are still high. -

1 Dead & Multiple Cases of Alcohol Poisoning Found in Min Buri District
File picture for reference only. One person is dead and one in a coma, amongst manyl cases of poisoning that have been linked to the consumption of illegal alcohol in Bangkok’s Min Buri district. The police have ordered the closure of shops selling *ya dong* (traditional herbal liquor). Health authorities are urging consumers to monitor their symptoms and seek immediate medical attention, as the poisoning is life-threatening. On August 24, a press conference was held by the Department of Medical Services, Nopparat Rajathanee Hospital, the Metropolitan Police Division 3, and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. It was revealed that in addition to the 1 death, 19 cases of acute methanol poisoning had been reported between August 22 and August 24. The affected individuals had purchased illegal liquor (*ya dong*) from several vendors along Hathairat Road, Samwa Road, and Charoen Pattana Road, within the Min Buri and Khlong Sam Wa districts of Bangkok. Authorities are urging anyone who may have consumed *ya dong* in these areas to remain vigilant for symptoms and to seek treatment at a nearby hospital immediately. All suspect vendors have since been shut down, and police, alongside the Excise Department, are conducting further investigations into illegal liquor sales. The consumption of "ya dong" and other forms of illegal alcohol often carries the risk of methanol poisoning. Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, is a toxic substance primarily used in industrial processes. Due to its lower cost compared to ethanol, it is sometimes illegally mixed into alcoholic beverages to cut production costs. This practice is commonly found in counterfeit spirits and poorly produced *ya dong* or white spirits that do not meet safety standards. Methanol poisoning generally occurs from drinking contaminated alcohol. As little as 100 mg/kg can cause toxicity, while consuming 60 ml of 40% methanol can be fatal. Methanol is rapidly absorbed into the body within an hour, with around 95% processed by the liver. Its toxicity results from the accumulation of formic acid, leading to metabolic acidosis (blood acidity) and ocular toxicity (damage to the eyes). -- 2024-08-25 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

I'm planning to stay in Thailand over 6 months. Would Thai government try to tax me?
Nope, there's no evidence other than the logic of it all. Any move to tax non-Thai's is a huge step change that can't be only partially done. The only way to ensure full compliance is via the visa process and Immigration. If it makes you happier I can agree to to a word other than probable, not that it changes much that's meaningful. -
