international driving permits can no longer be used as proof for obtaining a driver’s licens
An unspoken reveal of the proliferation of fake IDP's ? No surprise given that these booklets ( or at least the one I have recently renewed legitimately ) are not very sophisticated in any way and so open to fraudulent production as were passports in years past. Or is it due to lobbying from disappointed investors in "Driver Training Schools " that have not experienced any lucrative stampede of compliance minded expats ? One that I drive past regularly rarely has any activity and weeds are prolifically invading the tracks. IDP's are nominally valid for 1 year from date of purchase but only 3 months recognition from date of last entry in(to) Thailand. So that validity was always intended for tourist drivers on maximum duration of "tourist " stay. Various methods for extension of stay as a tourist have created some conflicts. My experience in requested presentation of IDP and origin country Driving Licence usually results in confusion at the IDP and sometimes enthusiastic discussion about origin country. In many years since I have had two attempts at declining validity of my IDP . One was simply a denial due to ignorance and the other an attempt to invalidate on the grounds it had no Thai translation page. That latter one was resolved by indicating the "International" title which gained a laughing dismissal of the request for Bht 100 and a wave to proceed. The former was resolved after a quick reference to a senior which resulted in a sulky wave of dismissal . But in serious contemplation of real risk impact of foreign drivers from the US and Europe who drive on the opposite side of the road to Thai I do have some sympathy to the move ! -

Report Danish Man Disappears Amid Extortion Fears in Southern Thailand
You really woke up today, looked at a missing person’s story, and thought “Yeah, lemme roast this guy’s haircut.” What the actual f*** is wrong with you? Imagine being so far up your own ass that you think you're qualified to diagnose someone’s mental state based on a photo. You’re not clever, you’re not insightful, you’re just a crusty old simp running his mouth for attention. Please sit your judgmental, washed-up ass down. Nobody asked for your low-effort psychoanalysis or your boomer-level hot takes. The fact that someone went missing doesn’t even register with you—you just saw a chance to feel superior for five seconds on the internet. Pathetic. People like you, the ones I’ve met in real life, are among the most pitiful I've ever come across. You probably enjoy the smell of your own fart. -

JAPAN - Prof dr Yasufumi MURAKAMI: "The more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die"
In your nightmare scenario of 95% mortality there won't be enough time or genius left to find a “cure“ If it spreads at the speed of science like the "Covid" did. -

Crime Neighbour Shoots Motorcycle Repairman Over Late-Night Noise in Khon Kaen
Dang quiet students? Just like these dang quiet students who shot up the MBK Centre a few months ago? 🤣🤣🤣 “A loud gunshot sound during a recent student brawl at MBK Centre in Bangkok was caused by a metal advertisement panel falling. The loud sound of gunshot heard during a recent violent incident between students from two institutions at MBK Centre in Bangkok was caused by a metal advertisement panel falling and impacting the floor, according to a statement by the mall operator.” -

Accident CCTV Captures Moment Driver Runs Over Drunk Swedish Tourist’s Head Outside Pattaya Bar
Nice deflection, but no cigar for you. The driver was Thai, was he not? Now, what about that "driver inattention" thing, or was it the car manufactures fault for poor design and blind spots? -
