Americans in Thailand Walk to Exercise the Right to Vote Overseas
Non-Partisan Gathering Shows Support for the Upcoming US Election Americans living in Thailand will come together on Thursday, October 10 from 12 noon to 1 pm to show their support for US electoral democracy by exercising their right to vote in front of the US Embassy in downtown Bangkok. The 2024 Election Ballot Walk will see a large, non-partisan group of Americans walk down down Witthayu (Wireless Road) from the Au Bon Pain (in front of GPF Tower) at midday with their ballots, and deposit their ballots in the official US Citizen Services drop box in front of the Embassy. Ballots returned via that box are sent back to the US by the Embassy, and mailed to the states to be counted in the November 5, 2024 national election. “This walk is a symbol of American democracy in action, which allows Americans wherever they are in the world to vote in our national election,” said Harold Hibbert, Vice-Chair at Democrats Abroad Thailand. “Overseas Americans being able to use their voice and exercising their right to vote is part of what makes our system special, and we strongly support the US Embassy’s role in facilitating the vote by sending our ballots back to the US.” By Adam Judd Full story: THE PATTAYA NEWS -- 2024-10-09 -

PM Paetongtarn Faces Legal Battle Over Advisor Appointments
Eventually, one of these complaints is going to stick. As for Thaksin, I think the BJT and military are holding that over his head to make him a good boy and to keep him in their lane. Once he strays, they will drop the ball, and he will be gone. The absence of the PTP is a significant issue. Without their influence, the military elite is unable to establish a government. zThat would mean an election and I am not sure anyone wants that right now. -

Indian Woman Strips in Defence Against Theft Claim
Picture courtesy: AMARIN TV An intense scene unfolded in Udon Thani, Thailand, when a dramatic argument erupted at a motorcycle repair shop over a missing sum of 3,000 baht. The dispute involved a local man, Mr. Thanabodin, and Ms. Aziza, a 23-year-old Indian national, sparking curiosity and concern among local residents. Police were called to the scene when Mr. Thanabodin accused Ms. Aziza of stealing the money from his yellow cloth bag, which he had placed on a swing while assisting with repair work. Aziza, who had visited the shop to fix her bicycle tyre, firmly denied any wrongdoing. The argument intensified, with Thanabodin alleging that Aziza had been the only person near his belongings when the money went missing. To decisively prove her innocence, Ms. Aziza took an unprecedented step: she began to strip in front of police officers and bystanders to demonstrate she had nothing to hide. As she removed her clothes, police and witnesses urged her to stop, suggesting a more discreet search. Eventually, the search moved to the privacy of the shop's bathroom. Thanabodin explained he noticed the money missing when he checked the bag while the repairs were ongoing. "When I opened the bag, I found that three 1,000 baht notes were missing, only some hundred and twenty baht notes were left. I thought that this woman had definitely stolen my money and when I asked her she yelled that she didn’t take it, so I called the police," he recounted, reported THai Newsroom. The unusual incident highlights the complexities and cultural nuances in resolving disputes, especially in foreign lands. With no money found on Aziza, the case remained unsolved at the time of reporting, leaving lingering questions about the missing cash. Authorities have continued to investigate, seeking clarity amidst the finger-pointing and allegations. -- 2024-10-09 Police were called to the scene when Mr. Thanabodin accused Ms. Aziza of stealing the money from his yellow cloth bag, which he had placed on a swing while assisting with repair work.

Hurricane Milton Reaches Category 4
There you go again with that blame people for driving their cars rubbish. Biden has been in charge for nearly 4 years and I don't think that he did anything about it either. All those big bombs he's sending must be contributing big time to CO2 in the atmosphere, and the planes that carry them too. I bet you didn't go to Thailand on a sailing ship. -
