...He (Big Joke) ordered that information be gathered about all gangs in the Pattaya area and living in Nong Prue, Chonburi Province and that foreigners who come to live in Thailand without job, riding a Harley Davidson, posing in a gang tattoo, and on a retirement visa be monitored. Immigration officers should revoke their visas and return them via immigration processes.

The Miss Universe Thailand 2023 contest, coordinated with the Asset Wise Public Company Limited, organised activities, including ‘Long Take Battle’ on Wednesday at Atmoz Tropicana Bangna, Bangkok.

MUT 2023 participants had to walk on the runway in the middle of a swimming pool for much to 5 rounds in a row, both barefoot and in high heels, full turns, crossing obstacles, and shuffling as best they could. Some of the contestants lost their balance and fell into the water.

And also, many of these pick-ups have heavily beefed up rear springs, IE extra leaves added.

That's why you see so many with broken axles. They add leaf springs and don't do anything to reinforce the axle.

Eight killed, three injured as pick-up hit by train at railway crossing

https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2623525/eight-killed-three-injured-as-pick-up-hit-by-train-at-railway-crossing-in-chachoengsao

A heavily damaged Isuzu pick-up truck was found nearby, with the bodies of five men and three women scattered over the area. Three people were injured, one of them seriously. They were rushed to Buddhasothorn...

According to Mr Wichai (the driver), as he approached the railway crossing, he noticed a warning light signalling the incoming train. However, a passenger told him to go ahead. So he attempted to drive across the rail...

THE WORSHIP OF ‘KRU GUY KAEO’ REFLECTS THAI SOCIETY’S MENTAL INSECURITY

https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2023/08/16/the-worship-of-kru-guy-kaeo-reflects-thai-societys-mental-insecurity/?fbclid=IwAR1JOFoWjaPaV0H2pOsXlA9TK1cuYJIq1SnaJ0P0_tm4butLfvgPNMc_oS8

The huge statue named Kru (Guru) Guy Kaeo, which has a menacing appearance resembling a gargoyle from Notre-Dame Cathedral but is claimed to have originated in Cambodia, has become a new trend in worship in Thailand...

... After the installation, many people began to worship the statue and ask for lottery numbers, a popular superstitious practice in Thai society. Some online advice even said that one must sacrifice a dog or cat to effectively worship Kru Guy Kaeo, which caused opposition and resentment among animal lovers...

Pet sacrifices to occult deity spur warning

Using pets as sacrifices for Khru Kai Kaeo, a deity represented by a gargoyle-like sculpture at a shrine in Bangkok, will make people liable to prosecution, the Watchdog Thailand Foundation (WDT) has warned.

The warning came on the back of growing concerns from pet lovers aghast at the news of worshippers obtaining cats, dogs and rabbits and using them as sacrificial animals.

In a Facebook post, the foundation said believers must think twice before they consider harming pets and using them as sacrifices to the half-human, half-mythical bird sculpture installed at the Ganesha shrine near Huai Khwang intersection.

Intentionally harming animals was a breach of the animal cruelty law, which carries a heavy penalty.

Quite right.

A bottle of green Fanta should be more than sufficient.

The storm ripped over a giant billboard at a gas station along Sukhumvit Road in Si Racha District, Chonburi Province, on Wednesday evening.
