Rice cooker WITHOUT Aluminum ??
Buy one of these, and you can't go wrong: BUT: There are actually TWO quality standards for this one. I bought a black one and a white one. The WHITE one works great. The BLACK one is garbage. The white one cost much more than the black one. I think, maybe, the black one was for export. Anyway...to keep it simple.... Just buy what the Japanese buy. Simple. They know quality. -

Gas-Powered Bus Safety Checks Urgent as Deadline Approaches
Fines in Thailand are a farce. 50k THB is just peanuts. Imagine a fine of a little over £1k when putting 54 people's lives at risk. Make it 5m THB. See the operators running for certification then. -

Hot-Tempered Pattaya Rider Attacks Russian Woman After Speeding Complaint
Where did I say that? I've never hit a woman, never would but I can understand her getting a slap from a Thai guy if she was misbehaving, or acting inappropriately. -

Man Dies from Electric Shock After Cutting Grass: Samut Songkhram
A man was found dead after being electrocuted after cutting grass near a canal. His wife had reported him missing the day before, leading to a search that ended with the discovery of his body. On the evening of November 17, Ms. Namphueng (44) called emergency responders after her husband, Mr. Wattanaporn (52), failed to return home as promised. All that was found at the scene was one of his shoes, left by the canal in the Prachachom Chuen area. After a lengthy search lasting over five hours, he was not found, and hope began to fade. The next morning November 18, residents discovered Mr. Wattanaporn’s body tangled in a patch of aquatic plants along the canal’s edge. Rescue worker Mr. Phanuwat Kaewnaphan, led the efforts to recover the body, but while descending into a boat to retrieve it, he was shocked by an electric current emanating from an unnoticed overhead power line that had sagged onto the ground and part of the canal. His arm went numb from the electric shock, but he was quickly pulled back to safety by his colleagues. After the power was isolated, officials found a burn mark on Mr. Wattanaporn’s back, consistent with an electric shock, possibly caused by the sagging power line. Authorities believe that after cutting the grass, Mr. Wattanaporn went into the canal to collect shrimp. It is suspected that while trying to climb back onto the shore, he was electrocuted by the exposed power line. Police with a local doctor confirmed the cause of death as electrocution. The body was sent for a full autopsy at Rajburi Hospital. The event has sparked outrage among local residents, who have long criticised the local authorities for failing to address the dangerous condition of the power lines. Despite multiple complaints over the years, nothing has been done to fix the issue, and the power lines continue to hang low, posing a risk to the community. Local villagers have now called for immediate action to prevent further incidents, urging the responsible agencies to fix the hazardous wiring and ensure public safety.

Trump - just what does he have to do for his supporters to question their allegiance?
The sooner people with working brains realize there is no helping these trash-talking knuckle draggers, the better off we will be. A topic like this is just opening up a wound. Now folks will grab poop and start flinging it at the other side. Of course, the overlords of AN love it as it generates clicks. -

High Stakes in Udon Thani: Thaksin, Pheu Thai Grapple with Rising People’s Party
According to other sources, printed, not just rumour, Taksin made an interesting speech in Udon. He sited "<deleted>ty laws" stifling political development, and the 2017 charter as having serious flaws. Seems he's warming towards a PP alliance and rejecting the current coalition partners. No love lost between PT and BJT and the Dems. -
