Fire Engulfs Plastic Pellet Factory in Samut Sakhon
Picture from responders. A fire broke out at a plastic pellet factory in Samut Sakhon, causing extensive damage and spreading to two nearby buildings. Firefighters worked for several hours to bring the blaze under control, with initial damage estimates exceeding 10 million baht. The incident occurred on the morning of January 5, at Subsin Industry Co., Ltd., located at 84/13, Moo 3, Tha Sao Subdistrict, Krathum Baen District. The factory specialises in producing plastic pellets. After receiving reports of the fire, the Krathum Baen Police Station quickly dispatched Pol. Lt. Col. Pairat Dee-rai, along with firefighters from Tha Sao Subdistrict Administrative Organisation, Krathum Baen Municipality, and nearby areas. Over 15 fire engines were mobilised to the scene. The fire spread rapidly due to the large quantities of plastic stored in the area. Firefighters worked from all sides to prevent the fire from reaching adjacent factories. After nearly an hour, the flames were surrounded, but water was continuously sprayed to ensure the fire was fully extinguished and to prevent re-ignition. Samut Sakhon Governor Nirist Niramaivong and Krathum Baen District Chief Banphot Chantharawong were present at the site to oversee operations and provide support to the firefighting teams. Governor Nirist expressed gratitude to all agencies involved, noting that their swift response prevented further damage and, fortunately, there were no injuries or fatalities. He instructed relevant agencies to investigate the cause of the fire. Environmental concerns were also raised, with local authorities tasked to ensure compliance with legal procedures to mitigate any potential impact from the smoke and water run off, on residents. A security guard at the site reported that workers inside the factory initially tried to extinguish the fire with extinguishers but were unsuccessful as the flames quickly intensified. The approximately 10 workers present managed to escape unharmed. The affected factory, a single-story warehouse on over one rai of land, stored large amounts of old plastic used for recycling into plastic pellets. The fire almost completely destroyed the warehouse and caused partial damage to two adjacent factories. -- 2025-01-05 -

Foreign car owner left Thailand, how to transfer ownership?
Hi Sussex! May I know if you were able to change the car ownership on a tourist visa? I have the same case. I have a car in Thailand (in my friend’s house), but right now, Im no longer living in Thailand, no more visa and no more work permit. But, Im going back to Thailand in few months on a 30 days tourist visa. I have potential buyer. I don’t know the required documents. May I ask how did you process yours? I appreciate your reply. Thank you! :) -

30 Did-You-Know Questions for those 'on the fence' about the mRNA jabs
Seeing posts like the one you are referring to is absolutely amazing in this day and age, and I can totally understand your reluctance to get involved (debate or discuss) with this dipstick, so best to ignore him and his inane ramblings. All the same, keep up your good work, because you bring up some good points in your posts. -

Chinese Tourist Seriously Injured After Allegedly Being Attacked by Guards on Pattayas Walki
There is a whole lot missing from that story. For one, there's not a lot of Thai men inside ANY nightclub or go-go bar on Walking Street. The few there are, are generally staff, not customers and wouldn't be involved in any drinking games with customers. And I seriously doubt that breaking a glass in any bar/nightclub/go-go bar would result in an altercation - unless you threw the glass or did something stupid like deliberately hit/slapped a tray a waitress was holding that had a drink on it. I've accidentally broken glasses in bars on Walking Street (maybe twice in total, in two different bars) and what happened ? Nothing, the staff cleaned up the glass - I offered to pay for the broken glass and was told "mai pen rai" and that was the end of it. Some (a lot) of those places have deliberately small tables to make more room for customers and less room for those customers to pile food or other junk on them. And many (most) of those places tended to be crowded, leading to a lot of accidental "bumping" as people try to get in/out of seats or girls try to sit beside potential "teeraks". So you can bet a lot of glasses are broken pretty much every night on Walking Street - and rarely does it result in a large group of Thais beating up a customer. And when (if) you hear the details, you usually find it was the customer that started the altercation by acting like a complete (insert descriptive colloquial slang term here). Like the (you know whats) that run up a tab then try to pretend they are just stepping outside to answer a phone call - and then try to wander off down the street hoping no one notices. Or the old "I'm just going to the ATM and I'll be right back" scam. Some even try to leave an (empty) cigarette pack and nearly empty lighter on the table as "proof" they are coming back. I've WATCHED people try to pull those scams and the staff will follow them out the door and alert the "boys" that the customer(s) haven't paid their bills. And when said customer trys to do a runner - the fight starts. Or some guy is playing with the girls, agrees to buy them drinks (without checking the price of those drinks of course) and then start a commotion when it comes time to pay the bill. (And as you already KNOW - it's NOT because the bar "padded" the bill it's because the moe-ron(s) who ORDERED the drinks somehow didn't think they were supposed to PAY for them - or didn't check the price first - or keep track of just how many of those drinks THEY agreed to buy.) (But they will often try to claim the bill was "padded" - which is usually easily proven to be false. The girls HAVE to ask for a drink and the customer HAS to agree to it before they can order it and have it added to the bill. But the dumb-@sses will order 2-3 beer and buy 10 "ladydrinks" for different girls because they're loving all the attention and then they goes ballistic when they see a 2,000 baht bill. Ladydrinks in some places can be 150 baht each and it's usually posted on the walls around the club, in plain sight. 10 Ladydrinks at 150 baht each is 1,500 baht plus a couple beer and boom, 2,000 baht bill with NO "padding". And the scouser starts an altercation or refuses to pay the bill because he's decided that he didn't really agree to all those drinks - which is usually bull**** - or he thinks those "ladydrinks" weren't "worth" 150 baht - because he has NO clue that part of that cost goes to the girl.) You have to remember that a lot of the people who end up "in the news" are NOT "experienced" expats or frequent visitors. They are most often first timers, not overly intelligent, not able to handle their booze and totally out of their element in a place like Pattaya. And keep in mind something that is true almost everywhere in the world. When someone does something that ends up becoming an altercation or requires police involvment - they almost NEVER admit to what THEY did to start the problem. Also - THINK about it. If the "bouncers" on Walking Street (and elsewhere) were just randomly attacking customers and beating them in the streets - like SOME people here like to believe - then Walking Street, Soi 6, 7 (and every other soi), Tree Town (and every other "entertainment area) would have been closed DECADES ago. The bad publicity alone would have forced the gov't to act and the place would have developed such a bad reputation that no one would want to go there anyways. Funny how that doesn't seem to be the case though, isn't it ? -

Yes, Virginia, Donald J. Trump WILL be the first convicted felon to become U.S. president
As trump will have majority in House and Senate why would he be considered a "lame duck"? By any measure I do not support trump, but interested in your reply e.g. trump could reverse Biden Administration legislation, international agreements and a number of other revenge tactics.
