Justice Department investigating door plug blowout on Alaska Airlines flight, report says
Boeing Lion Air Crash Cases Must Be Resolved by Admiralty Judges. “The Boeing Co. succeeded Tuesday in its bid to avoid jury trials after a high-profile air disaster when the Seventh Circuit ruled lawsuits brought by families of victims must be heard in admiralty courts, which don’t use juries. The family members or representatives of the victims of the 2018 Lion Air disaster where a Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashed into the Java Sea, killing all 189 aboard, must pursue their claims under the Death on the High Seas Act, the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled. DOHSA limits the ability of victims’ family members to sue for disasters occurring in international waters only to suits in admiralty courts. And those courts solely provide bench trials. A 2022 US District Court for the District of Northern Illinois ruling granted Boeing’s request to apply the Death on the High Seas Act to cases involving the 2018 Lion Air 610 crash, which would mean the cases would be resolved only by bench trials. The plaintiffs argued this deprived them of their right to a jury trial under the Seventh Amendment.” https://news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/boeing-lion-air-crash-cases-must-be-resolved-by-admiralty-judges -

Good dentist in Bangkok (but not a factory-like clinic)
Yes, only hookers there pulling your teeth. No real dentists. The good people all left Onnut after Celsius and his friend Fahrenheit moved there, and it's a very BAD area now. -

Floral vs Rimping condo
I've been looking at condos to rent in both buildings.. Floral and Rim Ping... I've only seen rooms in floral so far. 25k for about 100 Sq meters with a fantastic view on floor 15 is good value in my mind. Compared to 20/25k per month for a 45 Sq m condo in Peak or Astra 555 The condo rentals were managed by the condo management... Rent is non negotiable. I can swap furniture from their stock. Interesting setup Any comments.. Pros and cons? Cheers -

Canadian Tourist Brutally Attacked on Pattaya’s Soi 6 (short)
Brutally attacked and beaten in the initial moments of the video then later on said “ pushed “ ? So which is it : Was he set upon and brutally attacked/beaten by some Thai bouncers ? Or did he become argumentative with a Thai guy in a black shirt who pushed him over and he hit his head on the floor ? -

What is the tipping practice in Thailand ?
If there is an actual "general implicit practice to leave around 10% of the check in a restaurant in Thailand for the tip" it's because people like the OP have been giving tips, apparently regardless of the actual service ( somewhat like when IMO idiots give sin sod for their non virgin previously married beloved to be their wife ). It doesn't take much for all the restaurant etc workers to start looking at a tip as an essential part of remuneration, rather than as a sign of gratitude by the customer for a job well done. I never used to leave a tip unless the service was exceptional, or I was a regular and got on well with the staff. Next thing we know, taxi drivers will be demanding tips, hotel employees will be demanding tips etc etc. IMO, just don't, unless the service deserved something extra. It may not yet be too late to rescue Thailand from this odious practice. -
