Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
Im reminded of the time we were sitting around at a new development when the developer came by. My bro in law, fat, obnoxious and married to my fat and obnoxious sister for 40 years decided that he would introduce me as "hey Im married to his sister, you know what this guy does? he lives mostly in Thailand and just chases teenage girls". The developer, a highly successful dude, looked at him, looked at me and said: "Wow, Ive been thinking about Thailand, you know all the good places to go?" He then invited me to his Stadium box to go over his plans. -

Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
I disagree. I've been happily married to my Thai wife for thirty years, and have numerous friends who are enjoying even longer relationships with their Thai spouses. No miracles required. -

I've always found the opposite, The less interest I show, the more effort she makes. -

Public Bus Accidents in Thailand Surge by 46.5%
File photo Thailand's National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) has revealed a sharp 46.5% increase in accidents involving public buses in 2023. Buses accounted for the highest proportion of these incidents, with 73.0% of cases, driven by driver errors and poorly maintained, ageing vehicles. Additionally, unsafe vehicle modifications have exacerbated the risk. Public transport remains essential, particularly in Bangkok and its surrounding provinces, where over 968 million trips were recorded in 2022. However, a troubling rise in fatalities and injuries was reported, with casualties from public bus accidents increasing by more than 105% compared to 2022. Key factors contributing to these accidents include unsafe driving practices, such as speeding, tailgating, and fatigued driving. An alarming 81.1% of incidents were attributed to driver behaviour, compounded by poor working conditions. Drivers often endure emotional stress and inadequate rest, further affecting their performance. Vehicle safety is another critical issue. Many public buses are ageing and poorly maintained due to high operational costs, making necessary upgrades financially unfeasible.

A 2023 inspection in Thailand found that over half of the buses fitted with CNG tanks failed to meet safety standards. A tragic example occurred on 1 October 2023, when a school excursion bus caught fire on Vibhavadi Road in Bangkok, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. Investigators discovered the bus had 11 CNG tanks installed, far exceeding the safety limit of six, with five tanks not registered. This incident highlights the persistent lack of adherence to safety regulations. Despite repeated assurances from authorities to prevent future tragedies, the lack of enforcement and accountability continues to result in loss and injury. Sustainable solutions require stricter laws and a stronger commitment from transport operators to prioritise passenger safety over profit, reported Thai Rath.

Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
Russia is simply acting ints own best interest. "Nuclear threats"? Like it or not, Russia has 5000+ nukes. And of course, other nations also have legitimate security interests. But that's not the real issue here. The real issue is that these things play out in reality, not in some fantasized version of reality that exists only in the heads of some delusional Neocons. Assuming Russia isn't bluffing, then people in the West need to ask themselves if they're ready to end the human race because their version of reality compels it. Not too bright.
