How many here on the Farang Pub hope to die in Thailand?
I'm not rich enough to have any friends hang around while I die so I don't change my will on them. No kids, thank the deity, and extended family on the other side of the planet. -

Lampang Motorcyclist Crashes Through Police Checkpoint, Seriously Injuring Officer
The incident occurred when a 19-year-old motorcyclist, reportedly of Shan descent, sped through a police checkpoint, crashing into a senior officer, leaving him in a critical condition. The event took place in the early hours of September 29, at around 01:30 in front of Nakorn Kilo shop on Round Wiang Road, Suan Dok subdistrict, Mueang district, Lampang. Rescue teams from Sawang Lampang were quickly alerted to the scene of the accident. The checkpoint had been set up by officers from Mueang Lampang Police Station to monitor alcohol levels in passing motorists. The injured officer was identified as Police Captain Klahan Pakowong, 51, who was on duty at the checkpoint when the motorcycle struck him. The impact was so severe that his body was thrown across the road, leaving him unconscious and gravely injured. Rescue personnel provided immediate first aid before rushing Captain Klahan to Lampang Hospital, where he remains in critical condition, unresponsive, and with significant brain haemorrhage. Nearby, police found the motorcycle involved in the crash, bearing a Chiang Mai license plate. The young rider responsible for the accident was arrested at the scene and taken to Mueang Lampang Police Station for further questioning. Captain Klahan remains in a coma, with doctors monitoring his condition closely. The police are continuing their investigation into the incident. Picture courtesy of Siamrath. -- 2024-10-01 -

Aftermath of Hurricane Helene: Power Outages, Rescue Efforts, and Rising Death Toll
The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene continues to unfold as hundreds remain unaccounted for and millions face extended power outages. The death toll from the storm, which has ravaged multiple states, has risen to at least 128. CNN’s tally provides a breakdown of fatalities by state: North Carolina reports 56 deaths, South Carolina 30, Georgia 25, Florida 11, Tennessee 4, and Virginia 2. Smathers called for more assistance, including additional Starlink capabilities and mobile communication towers, to alleviate the crisis. “I’ve heard they have some in Asheville, we need them too. Bring us connections. Help us get service,” he pleaded. Canton, which faced extreme destruction in 2021 during Tropical Storm Fred, had prepared for the worst, but the scale of Hurricane Helene surpassed all expectations. Smathers described the scene: “It was apocalyptic here. Creeks became streams, streams became rivers, rivers became oceans... My sister lost her home. Roads and bridges, just washed out and gone.” Thousands of U.S. National Guard members have been deployed to assist with recovery efforts across the East Coast. Sabrina Singh, the Pentagon’s deputy press secretary, confirmed that personnel from multiple states have been dispatched to help with search and rescue, route clearance, and other essential tasks. Meanwhile, in Weaverville, North Carolina, Mayor Patrick Fitzsimmons found himself in a disaster zone. The town had no electricity, and its water plant had flooded, leaving residents without safe drinking water for four days. In Buncombe County, where Weaverville is located, 35 people are confirmed dead, and 600 remain unaccounted for. The county has set up a website for residents to inquire about missing persons, with over 11,000 requests received so far. Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 storm in Florida, where it caused widespread flooding and power loss before moving across Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. In the aftermath, millions of residents are still reeling from the chaos, with entire communities wiped out, as North Carolina’s Governor Roy Cooper described. Madison Shaw, a resident of Anderson, South Carolina, is one of many who lost a loved one. “Her last words to me were… 'I love you, be safe. I'll see you later,’” Shaw recalled, speaking of her mother. “I can't even describe it...my mom was my best friend,” she shared with CBS News. President Joe Biden called the storm "history-making," as reports of devastation continue to emerge. With millions still without power, recovery efforts face immense challenges, and the full extent of Hurricane Helene’s destruction is only beginning to be realized.

Guys, do you cheat on your Thai wife/girlfriend?
What I don't understand is how anyone like that could post photos of themselves and expect a positive response. I assume she's American, though she could be from any western country these sad days, but is that actually attractive to some in any western country? Are men that desperate? Asking for a friend. -
