Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
Not particularly. I have iPhone 16e, not for the high-end features but because I needed a new phone so I decided to get a late model that will hopefully last a few years before it's obsolete. I got an iPhone (vs Android) because I like the Apple ecosystem, having an iPad and a Mac as well. But I don't really use the high-end features. I also have a Samsung A25, which at under $200 I would not consider a high-end phone. It does everything I need, but I do miss the Apple ecosystem. -

Politics Up to 60 Thai Senators Face Disqualification Over Vote-Rigging Allegations
File photo courtesy of Wikipedia Around 60 senators could potentially lose their electoral rights following allegations of vote-rigging in last year's senatorial elections, according to sources. Out of 200 senators, these individuals are accused of engaging in bloc-voting and vote-buying schemes, which may lead the Election Commission to revoke their status retroactively, triggering by-elections to replace them. The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) had earlier pointed fingers at 138 senators, primarily affiliated with the Bhumjaithai Party, for suspected involvement in orchestrated electoral fraud. An ad hoc committee, with members from the polling agency and DSI, is compiling evidence for the Election Commission's review. If charges are confirmed, cases will be forwarded to the Supreme Court for a final verdict and potential legal penalties. An estimated 500 million baht might have been utilised to manipulate the election, as suspected by the investigating panel. In a related move, the DSI is expected to bring money-laundering and criminal conspiracy charges against numerous pro-Bhumjaithai senators. Thailand's Justice Minister Thavi Sodsong, aligned with Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's circles, has sanctioned a special lawsuit, heightening public interest in the matter. In response, some senators have denied any wrongdoing, challenging the DSI's allegations. The Bhumjaithai Party has also rejected claims of electoral rigging. Unlike the MPs election, last year's senatorial vote involved a unique and complicated system spread across district, provincial, and national levels, allowing contestants to vote multiple times. The outcome could see significant shifts if these senators are stripped of their positions, impacting the current political landscape. This developing story raises questions about electoral integrity and underscores the need for transparent political processes. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-05-08 -

Crime Brazen Taxi Theft in Samut Prakan: Woman Steals Cab at Petrol Station
Photo by GNT STUDIO via Canva A brazen theft unfolded in Samut Prakan when a female passenger made off with a green and yellow taxi at a petrol station in the Bang Na area. The woman prompted the unsuspecting driver to stop at the station under the guise of needing a purchase from a convenience store. Taking advantage of the driver's absence, she swiftly moved from the back seat to the driver's seat and sped away, as confirmed by CCTV footage. The concerned driver wasted no time in alerting local authorities and JS100 Radio to spread the word about the stolen vehicle while soliciting assistance in tracking down the rogue passenger. Sources say the offending individual initially hailed the cab in Nonthaburi, destined for Bang Phli in Samut Prakan, but altered her course towards Rayong, reportedly via Bang Na-Trat Road. In this fast-paced game of cat and mouse, GPS tracking suggests the taxi was nearing Rayong at last check. Eyewitnesses are encouraged to report sightings of the missing taxi exhibiting registration number 1 มข 7452 Bangkok to JS100 Radio via *1808 or 1137. Photo via Facebook/ Cholthicha Subin This audacious act marks yet another concerning episode in vehicle theft, following similar heists involving taxis in recent years. An unforgettable incident unfolded last November when another woman pinched a taxi in Phetchaburi. She tactically seduced the driver before stealing the cab during a petrol station restroom break. Though arrested eventually, such recurring events highlight a concerning trend of opportunistic thefts against taxi drivers in Thailand. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-05-08
