Death of Former Railway Employee Found at Home, Autistic Son Found Nearby
A former railway employee was found dead at the bottom of the stairs in his home, with blood splattered across the floor and walls. The victim’s 25-year-old son, who has autism, was discovered trembling in his bedroom, unable to comprehend the situation. Lt. Burin Thongko of Samrong Nuea Police Station received a report at noon on September 28, regarding the discovery of a body in a townhouse in Phraeksa Subdistrict, Samut Prakan Province. Officers, along with rescue and forensic teams, arrived at the scene to find the body of Mr. Sithiphan (surname withheld), aged 69, lying on his side at the base of the stairs. The victim had multiple injuries to his forehead and the back of his head, and his neck was broken. Investigators believe he had been dead for over 24 hours. Upstairs in the second-floor bedroom, officers found his son, Tham, sitting in distress on the bed. He appeared weak from hunger, having not eaten for at least two days. Bloodstains were found on his hands and feet. When rescue workers attempted to escort him downstairs, Tham became agitated upon seeing his father’s body, trying to pull his father back up the stairs while screaming. Rescuers managed to calm him before taking him outside. Neighbours reported that the father and son had lived together for years, with few visitors. They frequently heard loud noises from the house, but noticed two days of silence. Concerned, they checked on the pair and, finding no response, contacted the victim’s relatives. Upon entering the house, they discovered the tragic scene and immediately called the authorities. The victim’s sister explained that her brother had purchased the house over 20 years ago to care for his son, who has autism. The family, mostly living in Bangkok, had little contact due to the distance. She expressed shock at the death and confirmed that Tham would be taken to Samut Prakan Hospital for treatment and care. Authorities are reviewed nearby security camera footage from the past two days, which showed no signs of anyone entering the home. While the injuries suggest a blunt object was used, police have not ruled out the possibility that he may have fallen down the stairs. Investigators are currently trying to gather further information, as only the victim and his son were in the house at the time of the incident. Picture from responders. -- 2024-09-29 -

Air conditioning is effecting my sleep
According to Wikipedia, the humidity in Antarctica ranges from 55 to 67 %. You might want to amend that. The Wikipedia I found didn't give a figure, but it did say The air in Antarctica is also very dry. The low temperatures result in a very low absolute humidity, which means that dry skin and cracked lips are a continual problem for scientists and expeditioners working on the continent.[18] From a different source https://www.amnh.org/learn-teach/curriculum-collections/antarctica/extreme-temperatures/temperature-albedo Relative humidity in Antarctica can be as low as 1%! Our base has to humidify the air in the sleeping quarters to make it acceptable. -

Prime Minister Visits Chiang Rai to Oversee Flood Relief Efforts
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra visited flood-affected areas in Chiang Rai province on September 28, to assess the situation and oversee recovery operations. She received briefings from officials at the Mae Sai District Command Centre, including engineers from the military and the district chief, regarding the severe flooding in Mae Sai District's Ban Koh Sai and Ban Pha Jom villages. During her visit, Prime Minister Paetongtarn announced that by October 1, 24 main roads and the Sai Lom Joy Market, heavily impacted by mudslides, will be cleared. Additionally, Ban Mai Lung Khon School, which was badly affected, is set to be restored. However, she noted that it would take approximately 45 days for full recovery, with normalcy expected by early November. The Prime Minister acknowledged the severe damage to homes, with some structures buried under mud, leaving only their frames. A total of 64 homes were reported as completely destroyed, and the government is preparing to provide compensation as stipulated by law. Prime Minister Paetongtarn also expressed concern for the city of Chiang Rai, which was hit by the floods later than Mae Sai but experienced similar devastation. She directed that once sufficient resources are allocated to Mae Sai, heavy and light machinery should be relocated to Chiang Rai to aid in the recovery, ensuring that Mae Sai's needs are fully met first. While touring the flood-ravaged areas, the Prime Minister continuously updated her information with reports from local officials and General Songwit Noonpakdee, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Armed Forces, who provided real-time updates on the relief efforts. In her interaction with residents and workers, Prime Minister Paetongtarn thanked the teams for their dedication and reassured affected communities that relief efforts were underway. She urged residents to be patient, as the government was working tirelessly to help. The Prime Minister also instructed local Pheu Thai MPs to assess medical supply needs in the area to ensure that essential items are delivered to those in need. Additionally, she met with community leaders, including the Mu Pa Academy team, who proposed the establishment of a centre for youth mental health and education for flood-affected children. She promised that the government would consider this proposal as part of its broader recovery efforts. Before leaving Ban Koh Sai, the Prime Minister offered words of encouragement to local residents, some of whom were visibly emotional. She assured them that the government, along with military support, would stay until the situation returned to normal. This visit underscores the Thai government's commitment to addressing both the immediate and long-term needs of flood-stricken communities, with recovery efforts already underway across the province.

Your Two Months Rental Deposit
I have rented 2 apartments, 3 townhouses, and my current condo. In every case, I have gotten back all of my deposit. With one exception. My current landlord, from whom I rented my previous townhouse, took 6,000 THB from my 100,000 THB deposit, when I moved from there to here. I felt it was a fair assessment and had no real complaints. All landlords were Thai. All were exceptionally fair and reasonable. -

I know you're not American and may be exclused for lack of American civics education but inciting an attempted insurrection is completely disqualifying. You're acting aa if he is a normal candidate and this is about normal policy differences. No. It is about democracy vs. autocracy. The Republicans standing with Harris are indeed choosing country, constitution, and democracy. I do realize though this will fall on deaf ears and you will continue to simp for Trump and Putin.- 1

Two Women Arrested for Pawning Fake Gold Across Bangkok and Provinces
Authorities in Bangkok have apprehended two women involved in an elaborate scam, where they pawned fake gold jewelry at various gold shops. The women used real gold clasps on counterfeit gold necklaces, tricking shop owners into believing the entire piece was genuine. Following an investigation led by the online patrol unit of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, officials became aware of a group of criminals targeting gold shops in Bangkok and other provinces, causing significant financial harm to shop owners. Acting on the orders of Police General Torsak Sukwimol, National Police Chief, and Police General Kittirat Phanpet, Deputy Police Chief, efforts were intensified to catch the perpetrators. On September 26, police teams arrested two suspects: 1. Ms. Chanidta, 39, from Bangkok’s Bang Kapi district, who was wanted under six separate warrants for fraud, including from courts in Samut Sakhon, Chonburi, and Kanchanaburi. She was apprehended at a condominium on Ladprao Road. 2. Mrs. Sukanya, 39, from Samut Prakan province, wanted on a fraud warrant from Nonthaburi Court, was arrested outside an ice factory in Bueng Kum, Bangkok. The arrests came after an incident on December 11, 2023, when Mrs. Sukanya pawned a 45.75-gram gold necklace at a well-known gold shop in Central Chaengwattana. The shop initially confirmed the gold was 96.5% pure and accepted it as genuine, paying 90,827 baht to the suspect. Later, the shop discovered the necklace was fake after the clasp came apart when exposed to heat, revealing it was glued together. Upon realising the fraud, the shop reported the incident to the police. During questioning, both suspects admitted to pawning fake gold, stating they received real gold clasps from a man known only as "Bird." They claimed they were paid 5,000 baht per baht of gold pawned. However, the police remain skeptical and are continuing their investigation to identify the mastermind behind the operation. The first suspect has been transferred to Samut Sakhon Provincial Police for legal proceedings, while the second suspect has been handed over to Pak Kret Police for prosecution. Police Major General Teeradej Thamsuthee warned gold shop owners and the public about the sophisticated method these criminals used, by attaching real gold clasps to counterfeit gold chains. He urged people to be cautious when buying or pawning gold, advising them to only deal with reputable shops and look for the Gold Traders Association certification.

Judged by whom, and are they fit to make that judgement? There are many millions that disagree. As for a reason to vote fro Trump- the end of the Ukrainian fiasco would be a good start. Closing the border to illegals would also be a reason. Apparently Harris agrees that a wall is a good idea, and we know who to thank for the start on that.
