'Deception and denial': Voter views reveal dark truth about Trump's 'mandate'
I get the feeling he might actually do it. They say it isn't worth much in its present form. Anyway, if he doesn't the entire network may be history before too long. -

Man, 60, Commits Suicide After Shooting Two Women in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya
Authorities in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya are investigating a tragic chain of events in which a 60-year-old man shot two women, critically injuring them, before taking his own life in a rice field hours later. The incident began on the evening of November 23, when police from Phra Khao Police Station were alerted to a shooting along Wat Bang Pla Mo-Sena Road in Nam Tao Subdistrict, Bang Ban District. Emergency responders found two women, Mrs. Porntipha, 50, and Ms. Thanaporn, 33, lying injured by the roadside Mrs. Porntipha sustained multiple gunshot wounds to her back, while Ms. Thanaporn was shot in the head, lips, torso, and legs. Both women were rushed to Sena Hospital in critical condition. A motorcycle belonging to the victims was found overturned nearby. Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect, Mr. Phairot, lured the women out for dinner. The victims rode together on a motorcycle, with Mrs. Porntipha driving and Ms. Thanaporn as a passenger, while Mr. Phairot followed them on his own motorcycle. As they traveled down a remote stretch of road, Mr. Phairot reportedly opened fire, causing their motorcycle to crash. Police believe he then approached the fallen victims and fired additional shots but fled the scene after the women feigned death. The attack is believed to have stemmed from Mr. Phairot's unreciprocated romantic feelings for Ms. Thanaporn. Following the death of his wife earlier this year. Mr. Phairot pursued Ms. Thanaporn and allegedly spent substantial sums of money on her. However, she repeatedly rejected his advances, which investigators believe fueled his anger and led to the premeditated attack. The following morning, on November 24, at around 10:30, police found Mr. Phairot's motorcycle abandoned in a field approximately three kilometres from the crime scene. A coordinated search led to the discovery of his body at 15:00, just 100 metres away from the motorcycle. Officials confirmed that Mr. Phairot had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. It is believed he succumbed to overwhelming stress following the attack. At Phra Khao Police Station, authorities interviewed Ms. Kotchakorn, 42, Mr. Phairot's stepdaughter. She revealed that her mother, Mr. Phairot's wife, had passed away on March 29, 2024. Following her death, Mr. Phairot began pursuing Ms. Thanaporn and even introduced her publicly as his partner. Ms. Kotchakorn added that Mr. Phairot had recently complained about financial struggles and expressed feelings of betrayal and humiliation. "He said he felt like he had lost everything and couldn't go on. I tried to calm him down, but this tragedy still happened," she said. Police continue to investigate the circumstances leading up to the shooting and are monitoring the condition of the two victims, who remain in critical care. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-25 -

Authorities Raid Illegal Shop Selling Kratom, Cannabis, & E-Cigarettes in Sisaket
I hope that they realize by now that a slap on the hand and a small fine won’t stop them. Hopefully they toughen up and use 4 strikes and you’re out. Obviously 1,2 and 3 didn’t work. -

Human Skeleton Found Scattered in Paddy Field, Police Investigating
Authorities are investigating the discovery of a human skeleton found scattered in a paddy field in Khlong Khlung District, Kamphaeng Phet Province. Police are determining whether the death resulted from natural causes or foul play. At 13:30 on 23 November, Pol. Lt. Chatchanon Sanitmak, an investigator at Khlong Khlung Police Station, was informed of the skeletal remains in Moo 7, Ban Nong Krathum, Hua Thanon Subdistrict. He, along with rescue officials, rushed to the scene where they found the skeleton scattered across a field. The remains, dried and devoid of flesh, included seven identifiable bones. A pair of black shorts, believed to belong to the deceased, and a wooden walking stick about one metre long were discovered nearby. The remains were first discovered by Mr. Jirasak Puangsang, 36, who had been hired by Ms. Sompong Jakkrung, 53, to plow the field for farming. He immediately informed the village chief and police after making the discovery. Mr. Jirasak described the moment he spotted the skeleton while driving a tractor around the field. “I noticed the bones in the field but there was no unusual smell. Nobody in the village is missing. When I first saw the bones, I was shocked. There was a dog nearby, likely drawn to the scent,” he recounted. Ms. Sompong, the field’s owner, stated that she had not visited the area for three months and had no knowledge of how the remains got there. “I’m willing to cooperate fully with the investigation,” she said. Pol. Col. Anek Jansorn, Deputy Commander of Kamphaeng Phet Provincial Police, led the investigation team to the site. They collected evidence and have not ruled out any possibilities, including murder. No missing person reports match the skeleton, so police are conducting DNA testing to identify the deceased. Authorities urge anyone with missing elderly relatives, particularly those last seen wearing black shorts and using a walking stick, to contact Khlong Khlung Police Station. A local resident, Mr. Suphot Pumin, 31, shared a possible lead. Around 2-3 months ago, he encountered an elderly man wearing a floral shirt and black shorts near the field. When questioned, the man claimed to be from Sa Kaeo village but later mentioned nearby Nong Krathum-Nong Mok villages. Suphot noted that the shorts matched those found with the remains and speculated that the man might have had mental health issues. Police are continuing their investigation and awaiting DNA results to establish the identity of the deceased and the circumstances surrounding their death. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-25 -

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
Okay, well I won't bury my head in the sand. Today I will visit my local tax office and register for a TIN. Now, as I'm not that great on a computer I would appreciate a little technical help, please, Kasikorn has sent me three forms to fill out in a PDF format. Is there a way of filling out these forms without printing them off and filling the forms out manually? -

Getting Old: Stoic About It or Endless Whinger?
Where I live (for tax purposes - I'm rather nomadic occasionally) I was able to WORK and draw a pension for a year and a half. Legally. Goddam EU marxist communism. It's $hi7, stay in the US or the UK. You'd hate it here. And don't get me started on how much holiday I got or the health issues that I didn't pay a penny for in the socialist hell of Germany. Late in life and retired after a lifetime of good universal healthcare the docs are giving me a clean bill of health and I'm just wondering what to do with the last third or so, roughly, of my available adult years. I can't rock climb or tackle obstacles the way I once could. My shoulder is threatening me with some violence in a not too distant future. I have to be careful with my back and couldn't punch my way out of a wet paper bag these days. However I still do hefty gym work and cardio, swim, am active, travel and enjoy life, have lots of fun. But the body is definitely dying and the aches and pains I wake up with sometimes were never there as a young man. The wrinkles set to come are already hinting at the maps they'll draw on my face and the loose skin that will develop on my arms is beginning to pucker. There's no escaping that. I find those thoughts comforting rather than trying to deny it though. Dying is, in the end, just another issue to deal with in life. I'm more worried about the how than the fact itself and I am quite prepared to put an end to me myself if things get really bad. I do hope though that I can get the remainder of the things done I want to do before I get that far. I've made it a priority not to die regretting things I haven't done. But who knows?
