Donald looks super orange today
Reminds me of the time Joe Rogan was a green colour. Of course he wasn't but fake news media went all in on the false horse paste bad narrative. Some people never learn. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
When seeing pictures of this new looking Neta facility and since it's located in the Nakorn ChaiSi district of Nakhorn Pathom province (bordering western Bangkok) I began thinking that I've seen a building looking very, very similar especially since I drive thru the Nakhorn ChaiSi district on PhetKasem Road (#4) at least once a week when the Thai wife and I visit her mother. In fact, drove to the MIL's house today. While setting at the MIL's house killing time I did some more googling on the facility and mostly ended-up on Facebook pages. Anyway a couple Facebook posts had some more pictures and one guy said it was previously a Honda place. That's bit of info activated some more brain cells which told me I probably know exactly where this facility is and it was just a month or so ago when I pointed out to the wife the new looking building as we drove along and said it looked like it was going to be some kind of "car place/showroom" based on its designed. On the way back to Bangkok I looked for the facility while driving along....and I found it....and sure enough it was an "old Honda dealership" which is a BIG place when considering the part of the facility you can not see from the road. Basically it appears Neta bought this Honda place and has renovated it to a Neta showroom (you could see Neta vehicles in the showroom today) and also the other part of the building identified as the Spares Distribution Center. There was ongoing activity as we drove by. So, the facility truly exists as a showroom/dealership and also a spare parts center (i.e., warehouse). Now as to how many parts they actually have in stock I couldn't say. Below are a couple of snapshots from Google Maps satellite/street view that shows the Neta facility when it use to be a Honda facility. And note the 2nd snapshot that shows the "long" building which could probably serve well as a warehouse for parts....you don't see the long part when just driving by the facility on PhetKasen Rd. -

Crime Drunk Man's Gunfire Sparks Panic in Chalong Neighborhood
Pictures courtesy of The Phuket News Residents of a normally quiet neighborhood in Chalong were left shaken when a man, reportedly intoxicated, fired multiple gunshots into the sky, prompting panic and a swift police intervention. The alarming incident unfolded around 3.55pm on May 15 in Village 3, Soi Palai, as over ten gunshots echoed through the residential area, leading residents to apprehensively call for police assistance. Upon arrival, officers located the gunman, identified as 63-year-old Songphon Thongluen, within his home. In response, police secured the area to prevent bystanders from approaching, safeguarding against any further potential threat. Choosing a cautious, non-violent tactic, police engaged in negotiations with Songphon, aided by his relatives. This strategy successfully led to his peaceful surrender, avoiding escalation despite the heightened tensions. A thorough search of Songphon's property resulted in the discovery and seizure of two firearms, found as evidence. Subsequently, Songphon was detained and transported to Chalong Police Station, where he now confronts charges concerning illegal firearm use and endangering public safety. Fortunately, no injuries occurred, though the event left local residents deeply unsettled. "It sounded like fireworks at first, but then we realized it was gunfire. We were scared he’d start shooting at people," commented one resident anonymously, reflecting the community's alarm during the ordeal. Police commended the prompt response from residents and stressed maintaining calm while leaving the handling of dangerous incidents to trained officers. "We managed to avoid a potential tragedy thanks to the coordinated response and cooperation from the man’s family," noted a police spokesperson. The incident has sparked renewed discussion on the dangers of unregulated firearm possession and alcohol-induced violence in residential areas. As investigations proceed, Songphon remains in custody, with police preparing formal charges and reviewing the legality of the firearms seized from his home.

WISE - Banks that can receive money in Thailand
Hello everyone! I have the same error. The last time I sent from Wise to Krungsri was two weeks ago, 49,000 baht. Everything was fine. Today I tried sending three different amounts. In response, Wise offered to correct the account details.
