Woman Rides Electric Suitcase While Using Phone on Busy Bangkok Road
A video posted on the social media platform X sparked outrage and concern over road safety. The video shows a woman riding an electric suitcase while simultaneously dragging a large piece of luggage and using her mobile phone on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road near Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok. The video quickly went viral, with many social media users expressing disbelief and criticising the woman’s actions. Comments ranged from shock to sarcastic remarks, below. "What? Things you never thought you'd see! What made her think riding an electric suitcase on the road would be safe?" "She's too chill. It’s like she's mad at her husband for not driving her to Don Mueang." "If she gets hit by a car, would the driver be at fault?" "Riding and using her phone at the same time... just wow." "So relaxed, playing on her phone like it's no big deal." The incident has drawn attention to the growing trend of using unconventional personal transport devices in unsafe environments, sparking debate over safety regulations on the roads. -- 2024-08-25 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Spirit of Ukraine Independence Day August 24, 2024
It was a founding member of the UN, to give the USSR more votes in the General Assembly. Roosevelt agreed to this, while reserving the right for 2 more US votes to be added to the GA; essentially something like California and New York would get a vote. Quoting the UN Charter: The 1933 Montevideo Convention defines what a State is: Ukraine and Belarus met all the conditions except (d); they could not conclude agreements with other states. So in 1944, Stalin amended their constitutions to allow them to enter into agreements with foreign governments. Western jurists rejected the Soviet concept of the republics’ sovereignty, because it was clear that the republics had a factual and legal dependence on the central government. So no one recognised Stalin's absurdity. Except the UN. The Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic has been described as "only a hollow institutional caricature of a sovereign state". It was a political accomodation, in 1945, after a devastating world war, and Stalin was doing his bully boy bit. Stalin commited fraud, because the Montevideo Convention also says "The federal state shall constitute a sole person in the eyes of international law". The USSR was a federation, it doesn't matter if Belarus and Ukraine could conclude international agreements. They failed to qualify for the UN. Stalin's con job did not make Ukraine and independant state in 1944. -

Before coming to Thailand, I had no friends.: This is why I am so happy here in CM!
I loved my time at that "small little town", Montreal, while at McGill. My time at McGill was probably one of the most memorable periods of my life. At the time, I had a cat, a black cat, which almost fell out the top floor of my dormitory. She was just barely holding on to the outside ledge by her puny claws. Fortunately, I saved her. She thought it no big deal. At that time in Montreal, guys would think almost nothing of pissing up against any wall on any given main-street in the city. And, some guys, would walk down the street copping a feel from girls with big mammaries. One female classmate of mine came back one afternoon, all in tears. She had been groped on the street, by some well-intentioned passerby. Those were the days, back in 1972. Montreal is probably not quite the same, these days, though.... That was a different age. Trump would have loved it in Montreal, back then, I guess. -

Looks like Americans fight most here?
Votes are votes. Expats voting in Pennsylvania have more power than residents voting in Alabama. As far as SS and Medicare are concerned, there is zero doubt that democrats are much better. As far as expat lobbying groups, that exists but yes very weak. Most Americans consider expats as unpatriotic. As far as annoying banking regulations that impact expats, I may be wrong, but I think the democrats are probably worse on that. Also don't assume expats are voting only on narrow expat specific issues. In my case, support for Ukraine over Russia, democracy over autocracy, voting rights, LGBTQ civil rights, reproductive rights, protecting the independence of the DOJ, common sense gun restrictions, affordable housing, keeping most federal workers based on competence and experience rather than loyalty to a president and others are all important concerns. -

Lone Gunman Strikes Again at Thung Song Mall's Gold Shop, Identical to the Previous Attack
Picture courtesy of Thairath. In a repeat of a previous crime, a lone gunman robbed a gold shop at a Thung Song mall for the second time, mimicking almost every detail of the initial attack. The suspect shot at the gold display cases, planted a fake bomb, and made off with a quantity of gold. Authorities believe it may be the same person who carried out the first robbery. On the evening of August 24, reporters stated that the robbery occurred at the Yaowarat Gold Shop inside the Lotus Mall in Thung Song, Nakhon Si Thammarat province. The assailant, a man dressed entirely in black, with his face obscured by a hood, carried a backpack worn in front of his body. He entered the gold shop alone and fired at the gold display cases, causing panic among the shop employees and customers, who fled in terror as the mall was nearing its closing time. The suspect managed to steal a quantity of gold jewelry before fleeing. A mall security guard attempted to pursue him and even recorded a video (see below), but the suspect, who was armed, escaped. The assailant also left behind a suspicious object resembling a bomb, which prompted authorities to cordon off the area. Upon inspection, it was determined to be a fake explosive. During the investigation, police discovered traces of blood at the scene, believed to have been left by the suspect, possibly cut by glass while grabbing the gold jewelry. The blood samples were collected for DNA analysis. Officials also noted that the suspect used the same escape route as during a previous gold shop robbery in March 2023, during which over 40 baht of gold was stolen. The suspect was never apprehended. The recent incident mirrors the earlier crime in almost every detail, including the timing of the attack, near the mall's closing when foot traffic is low, and the suspect’s appearance and method of escape. Authorities are currently tracing the suspect’s escape route as the investigation. -- 2024-08-25 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe RPReplay_Final1724538070.mp4 -

Thank you for your compliment. You are correct about the security employee doing his work as instructed by his employers. His employers need to consider there positioning of the parking of motorcycles. -
