Is it better to do good in this world....or not?
But to answer. No I don't think it is. I've lived a very selfless life and it hardly seemed worth it so far. People see kindness as weakness and try to take advantage whenever they can. It's all an illusion anyways. -

WeChat pay still doesn’t work in Thailand unless you are Chinese
Foreign Wechat pay account = Wechat pay account registered with a foreign passport. Local Wechat pay account = Wechat pay account registered with a China ID. The issue with Wechat pay (now officially renamed to: Weixin pay) is currency control. Meaning that China doesn't allow you to take unlimited amounts of money out of China. Local Wechat pay accounts can be used for payment outside of China, up to a certain amount per year. I think it's something like the 500k or 1 million RMB per citizen per year. This amount is applied to all money sent or spent outside of China. So if someone makes a bank transfer from a China bank account to a US account (for example), that amount counts towards that limit. It's too complicated to track foreign spending on a foreign wechat pay account so they don't allow you spend any money outside of China. Short version: For foreign Wechat pay accounts, you cannot use it outside of China. You can use it in China, as that isn't taking any money out of China. Long version: Strictly speaking, you can use a foreign wechat pay account to pay a vendor outside of China, IF that vendor is registered as a Chinese company. Example: you are in Thailand, you book a flight with a Chinese airline, you can pay with your foreign wechat account. I have a wechat pay account registered with a foreign passport. It works like a charm inside China, it does not work in Thailand (I have tried). -

Uncle Shoots Nephew Dead Over Dirty Dishes in Chiang Rai
Picture courtesy of Amarin. A 58-year-old man shot his nephew dead while he was eating at the dinner table, reportedly enraged that the younger man had not washed his dishes. The suspect, identified as Mr. Wai, allegedly tried to feign ignorance after the incident by buying alcohol and acting as though nothing had happened. The fatal shooting took place at approximately 20:30 on 11 March, in Ban Kiang Tai, Moo 6, Huai So Subdistrict, Chiang Khong District, Chiang Rai Province. Police Lieutenant Natthaphon Chanda of Bun Rueang Police Station received reports of a shooting and arrived at the scene with rescue workers from Boonchuay Uppatham Chiang Khong. The victim, 41-year-old Mr. Phongsakorn, was found dead in a half-concrete, half-wooden house near Road 4027, between Ban Kiang Tai and Ban Kaen Ban. He had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the right side of his face, with brain matter and blood splattered across the floor. His body lay near the doorway of the house, facing outward, with a plate of food beside him. A homemade flintlock gun was discovered near the body. Witnesses confirmed that the assailant was the victim’s uncle, who had previously argued with him. The disagreement escalated when the victim sat down to eat som tam without having washed his dishes beforehand, enraging the older man. After the shooting, the suspect reportedly rode his motorbike to buy alcohol and attempted to act as if nothing had happened. However, under police interrogation, he later confessed to the crime, admitting he was angered by his nephew’s disobedience. Police have arrested Mr. Wai, and he is now in custody awaiting further legal proceedings. -- 2025-03-13 -
