There was another article noting that it had one of those decals they're trying to crack down on.  The decal lets the BIB know the driver has paid a bribe to be able to overload their vehicle.

Yep. TiT

"Officials from Bangkok's Phra Khanong District disclosed on Nov. 9 the results of weighing a large truck transporting clay soil that fell through a temporary concrete cover pit on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok yesterday. The entire weight was 37,450 kg, or 37.45 tonnes, above the legal limit of 25 tonnes. The officials returned the dumped earth to its original location. Despite the fact that some of the soil that fell into the pipe was not counted, it is estimated that 12 tonnes are already overweight."

Loser, loser, no chicken dinner... 🤕🐔

. . .

An accident involving six cars in a row happened on Road 304 in Phanom Sarakham, Chachoengsao Province, during the U-turn point at Phanom Sarakham Hospital, Chachoengsao Province, at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. There were 10 injured people, including 1 person who was in serious condition, trapped in a wrecked car. The final patient arrived at the hospital after the first nine injured ones.

According to witnesses, a red car made a sudden U-turn, causing a black car to crash into a loud bang, and the cars behind it to collide with each other, including three pickup trucks, one van, and two cars. Furthermore, chicken meat from the pickup truck being loaded to deliver to the market was scattered across the road.

Fire broke out 25 minutes before 1am Saturday at a condominium in Soi Phetchaburi 15, Bangkok, killing a 71-year-old woman who lost consciousness and injured 20 others. The source came from a room on the 20th floor and police said the owner used the room to make mangoes ripe by using gas while he sleeps inside his car on the parking lot. Some 30 fire trucks were mobilized and the fire was extinguished after 30 minutes.

This kind of incident is more common than you might expect. Here is a close escape i witnessed (the slipper was flapping about in the machanism when i pulled it out)

So a prisoner escapes, the police are hot on his trail, and at one point the escapee narrowly gets away.

Who does the BiB blame..?

The dog.

. . .

54 Thai border police personnel who spent three days searching for fugitive Chaowalit Thongduang, or Pang, at the Banthat mountain range Trang-Phatthalung junction have been replaced.

12 of them came down to Khao Hua Chang Reservoir, Tamode District, Phatthalung Province, with a male dog named Mee (meaning bear), which the police suspected was the one who barked a warning to Pang so he could escape the police on November 9. The dog has stayed with the police since then.

The police are now strictly in control of all streams that flow from the Banthat mountain range. 

Prisoner Chaowalit escaped on October 22 while having treatment for which he pretended to be ill at Maharat Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital. The Department of Corrections has increased the reward for his capture to one million Thai baht.

BANGKOK LANDLORD SHOCKED BY HUGE PILE OF TRASH IN RENT ROOM

https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2023/11/28/bangkok-landlord-shocked-by-huge-pile-of-trash-in-rent-room/

A landlord was shocked upon discovering that a room in Bangkok she rented out over the past decade to a nice-looking female government official, aged 42, hid mountains of rubbish inside that would require 250 garbage bags to remove them all.

Panadda told Khaosod Online on November 28, the moment of truth came when she received complaints by other tenants that there were rats, worms and bad smells coming out of the room’s door. The woman who rented the place hasn’t been back for two years but kept the room and paid the 1,500 baht monthly rent without fail, however.

“My father-in-law and I even cried. We couldn’t accept what we saw. I was shocked by the enormous pile of junk, which was high to the ceiling and some of which had been opened to bring the waste in and pack it as well. The wardrobe was packed full of trash. Worms, rats, and cockroaches are abundant in the waste pile. Some of them were dead and left traces along the room’s walls,” Panadda stated.

She posted the story on FB said she had to ask neighbours for help and the trash piled up to the ceiling. Dead rats and snakes were also found inside the room.

“I spent nearly 3,000 baht on garbage bags to clean up the mess in the room, and I counted 250 large bags that the dormitories also came to help themselves with.” But even after thoroughly cleaning, wiping, and washing twice with various detergents, the foul odour remains. I haven’t been able to find a means to clean it up until now. “It is expected that a complete renovation will be necessary,” Panadda stated.

When the tenant was contacted, she was upset that the landlord didn’t inform her in advance, adding there were valuables in the room though the landlord insists there was nothing but piles of trash and proceeded to report the incident to Hua Mak police.

I used to have a couple of lower end rent houses in Texas.  Mostly cash only and I can't speak to the legal immigration status of the folks that rented them. 

I used have things happen like showing up to collect rent, take a glance around, and see a Christmas stocking on the wall in July.  So I move it and there's a big hole in the wall.  Another time after a tenant family moved out without notice, they thought they'd steal a dresser that was part of the furniture I provided, but not before deciding to paint it dark brown, on the carpet.

When I got tired of it and wouldn't take any more tenants, it cost quite a bit to fix up the damage they left and get the houses sold.  Never again.
