Thailand Launches King’s Birthday Urban Park Initiative Across Bangkok
In celebration of His Majesty the King's 6th cycle birthday, Thailand has embarked on 10 royal projects under the theme "Forest, Water, People." Central to these initiatives is the Elevate Pocket Park project, a collaboration between the Thai government and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to foster urban greening. The project proposes the development of 72 parks scattered throughout Bangkok, strategically located within a 15-minute walk for residents, providing easy access to nature amidst the city’s hustle and bustle. These compact green spaces are not merely decorative but signify a thoughtful approach to urban living, integrating environmental conservation with everyday life. Prime Minister Office Minister Jiraporn Sindhuprai emphasised the community-centric nature of the initiative. Residents are encouraged to join in the design process to ensure the parks meet local needs, while also promoting collective responsibility for their upkeep. This collaborative effort bridges community participation with cross-sector learning, establishing a joint stewardship culture. Currently, 42 of these eco-friendly parks have been constructed, offering vital green lungs that serve as both relaxation spots and natural dust filters. The 15-minute parks are poised to enhance air quality, mental health, and community bonds, highlighting a lifestyle where convenience aligns with environmental care. This initiative, part of a broader effort to mark the King’s birthday, aims to set a precedent for how conservation can seamlessly blend with urban living. It's a bid to transform Bangkok into a more sustainable, green city, creating a lasting legacy of environmental awareness and community empowerment. File photo for reference only -- 2024-10-10 -

British National Killed in Sattahip Motorcycle Accident
No heavy rain in the photo. There was a sign at the median between the flyover and the underpass. He rode right into the sign (the cuts and fractured skull) and the bike disintegrated when the front wheel made contact with the median. There could be a dozen reasons why he hit the median. Hell, it could have been target fixation or being distracted for a fraction of a second at the wrong moment. I ride there and turn around back to Pattaya at that spot a couple of times per week. People who are making a Uturn don't enter the area at a high rate of speed. -

International Driving Permit from Surat Thani.
I was told that Suratthani was the only place. Not sure who by. My experience was similar to yours except I went by motorbike. Never had to book a ferry for that. Certainly very quick service. -

Are Older Men in Thailand Trading Love for Financial Ruin
So my take on this is substantially younger woman, older man, total recipe for disaster and car wreak emotionally and financially. And a point about that. When things go south when you're younger, you're working and more importantly you have time to recover. Things go south when you're 60+, you just don't the resources and more importantly the time to recover the loses. Now we get on to thing where I both struggle and laugh.. Thai women 'know' how to treat a man. Now me and Mrs G are 55/65 so we're up there and sex isn't what it used to be, but still good, but that aside. She's a pretty Westernized woman having grown up in Chicago. But cooking, she will fight hammer and tongs about NOT letting me cook. Maybe there is something in the DNA about her getting pleasure out of cooking for me. On other aspects of recreating the 1950's, she's pretty OK letting me do the laundry lol -

Police hunt for gang rape suspects as more victims step forward
In a chilling tale of intimidation and sexual violence, a 19 year old woman from Phetchabun has bravely stepped forward to expose a nightmarish ordeal that saw her and several other young women fall prey to a brutal gang rape. The vicious attack, reportedly carried out by a mob exceeding 10 men, left the victims too terrified to seek justice due to sinister blackmail tactics. The young woman’s courageous decision to break her silence was supported by her mother, who accompanied her daughter to consult a lawyer. They approached officers at the Mueang Phetchanuri Police Station, compelling the officers to launch a full-scale investigation. The victim revisited the harrowing scene yesterday, October 9, to aid in piecing together the dreadful events. In an exclusive interview with Channel 3, the victim recounted her terrifying experience. The evening began innocently enough on September 9, with a night out at a local hotspot. But as the clock ticked past 3am on September 10, the night took a sinister turn when she found herself separated from her friends. A phone call from a friend named Jun led her to a dangerous trap. Asked to rendezvous at a rented house in Sadiang sub-district, Phetchaburi province, she initially declined because she didn’t have transport. Yet, Jun’s insistence turned to coercion, sending a man to collect her, sealing her fate in a horrifying ordeal. Upon arriving at the rented house, the victim did not find Jun. She asked the man to take her back home but he ignored her request. More than 10 men in the house immediately approached her. They restrained her arms and legs before forcing white powder into her nose and mouth. The victim said she lost control of herself and was brutally raped by the group. She could remember each suspect clearly. They used mobile phones to record the assault and shone flashlights on her face. The gang later took her back home and she was too embarrassed to share the ordeal with her family. However, she eventually decided to tell her mother and older brother after the gang threatened to release explicit videos of her. The victim identified the suspects to Mueang Phetchanuri Police Station, and officers later discovered more victims in the case. These victims were also too ashamed and afraid to take legal action against the gang. Police are now searching for all relevant suspects, including the victim’s friend, Jun.
