Handicapped man's pilgrimage to Bangkok for His Majesty enters fifth day

Picture: Thairath

BANGKOK: -- A handicapped old man who is travelling to Bangkok in a three wheel vehicle to pay homage to His Majesty has now reached Saraburi.

Parn Meunyot, 84, who has only limited use of his legs, set off from his home in Buriram on Friday determined to reach the capital to pay his respects to the man who helped him in the past, reports Thairath.

Parn has said that he suffered a injury years ago while tilling his fields. He was helped by His Majesty when he entered a Royal Project to aid his rehabilitation.

"I am in debt to His Majesty", said Parn "and I simply must make it to Bangkok even though my legs don't have much power".

Yesterday he had reached Saraburi where he spent the night at the Saraburi Sports Ground and was due to continue his journey in the early hours of this morning.

He is being helped along the way by the mayor of Nong Takhrong district in Buriram called Sorawut Thitaratanachot.

He is also being assisted by foundation workers from Sawang Sawangratanatrai in Saraburi and the highway police to ensure his safety.

Name things that Pattaya has that New York City doesn't

New York, New York. The city that never sleeps. If you can fake it there, you can fake it anywhere. So the exercise here is to name things found in the greater Pattaya area that you won't find in New York City (all boroughs). Let the game begin.

I am sure we (the majority of us) wouldn't expect any truth out of the grifter's mouth, he and some of his goons did had the guts to start spreading more and more lies during their convention, I thought that having some many reporters attending would be a small draw back to the lies, they knew the majority of the reporters would fact check their misleading statements and that's what happen, they kept lying and making misleading statements, Here is a fact check of some of them: Investment in the

Forgotten 9/11 video reveals rare angle of second plane hitting tower A remarkable view that was hidden for years A remarkable piece of 9/11 footage has given the world another haunting view of the moment the second hijacked aircraft slammed into the World Trade Center's South Tower. The nearly nine-minute recording was made by Kevin Westley from a boat in New York Harbor as the attacks unfolded on September 11, 2001. What makes the footage unusual is the angle. The camera is looking towards t

EVENKEEL · Tuesday at 01:01 AM2 days

Progressives just can't help themselves. At a time when Calif has historical homelessness, unemployment, natural disasters. Democratic cities along the west coast like Seattle, Oakland and LA are seeing the consequences of a progressive run city council with crime and homeless encampments. Let's see how should we make Calif better. Oh I forgot big business is leaving Calif for greener pastures. So, what is the answer to making Calif better and more affordable. At a time when gas prices are the

JAG replied to Social Media's topic in What the Papers are Saying

I think even more to the point I think he wants leaders (toadies) in place who will not hesitate to commit troops if/when the Insurrection Act is called into force. It is a large country, and roughly politically evenly divided. It will be a major operation to round up and detain all possible resistance, and ensure control of all voting procedures. I don't think that it could be done without the military - even with the massive expansion of the Federal paramilitary agencies.

Well IAEA provided the list of scientists and sites to Israel to kill and bomb. So they want to obtain names of new scientists and atomic research activities for future bombing by Israel? Fool me once shame on me …….. comes to mind. How about inspect Israeli atomic bombs facilities first as they are real and a real threat as mentioned by Israeli government that they’re prepared to use them. Iran does not have any (yet).

Trump is thinking about surviving the mid-terms. He doesn't give a sh!t about Americans. Biden gave the Iranians frozen cash assets. It was not American money. If enough Americans fall for it, they will get everything they deserve. Inflation, more wars, pariah status, deadbeat debtor.

Has the Community Pub Run Its Course?

SoCal1990 · Monday at 09:39 PM2 days

Over at least the last 4 or 5 months, I have noticed very few new and interesting topics in the Community Pub that are actually worth a laugh, a bit of mischief, a debate, some intellectual stimulation, or even a bit of serious contemplation. It feels like the days are gone when somebody would post a good yarn, a clever caper, an interesting observation, a bizarre theory, a cheeky windup or some truly off the wall subject that somehow managed to get half the pub arguing about it. These days, i

Criticality of Maintaining Flexibility to Avoid Pedicures: And, why?

GammaGlobulin · Monday at 07:44 PM2 days

The Importance of Maintaining Flexibility to Avoid Costs of Pedicures: And, Why? Dear Folks, Here is a bit of news you can use. But first, a question: How many of you older TV-Members are still able to cut your toenails without assistance? Such a question! And it really should be submitted here as a TV-Poll….(but I do not know how to create a Poll, and never will…) If you are unable to do so, i.e. touch your toes, by yourself, and if you must rely on GFs or Wives, then why? Is this due
