Interesting method of self defence!

But they have attracted @olddaddy

I wonder how much the brown envelopes contained. Thai used to have every different long haul aircraft, Boeing and Airbus, and different versions of each model. Made no economic sense. Last time I was at Suvarnabhumi many A380s and 777s, were gently rusting away in lines on the airfield.

News East Thailand Traffic and Transportation Eight People Dead, Including Children, in SUV Crash on Motorway to Chonburi By Kittisak Phalaharn - Saturday, 26 April 2025, 8:14 Facebook Twitter ReddIt Thailand, at 11:00 PM April 25th, 2025 — Rescue workers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation responded to a fatal crash on Motorway Route 7, outbound towards Chonburi. Eight people were found dead at the scene and two others were seriously injured. The collision involved a trailer truck that rear-ended an SUV, crushing it completely. A nearby oil tanker was also hit and sustained damage. Rescue teams used hydraulic cutters to retrieve the bodies, which included both children and adults. The injured were rushed to a nearby hospital. Preliminary investigations revealed that the SUV, carrying 10 people heading to visit relatives in Rayong, had pulled over in the far-left emergency lane to allow a passenger to change a baby’s diaper. It was then struck at high speed by the trailer truck driver, with drowsy driving suspected, according to the police. Police are reviewing CCTV footage and continuing their investigation to determine the exact cause and pursue legal action.

Delete 'virtually!

Makes my Samsung, equivalent to 7,000 baht, look good value! It does everything I want, 128k, etc.

I'm afraid this is just American justice, so called. This type of sentence is not uncommon. You see,'life plus 99 years', for example. A guy convicted of child porn offences, pretty nasty, was convicted on 10 counts, so Judge gave him 20 years on each count,to run consecutively. I believe that prisons there are largely privately run, for profit. I read an article this week about a district in Texas, where they were saying they must do something about the number of murders of inmates in prison!

I trust you are all celebrating Pueri Lenonii day, which falls on April 25th!

Trimmed, still can be an issue with crabs.

If Jakarta is literally in the same boat, it would have to be a very large boat!

I wonder how they define a potentially dangerous route? Perhaps any route, bearing in mind the serious crashes they have! This crash seems particularly horrendous.

Although one feels older!

Glad to see you are still playing ice hockey!

'I'm afraid' crept in by mistake!

I stay in a very upscale hotel in Siem Reap, Viroth's, and they even bring the boy to your room! I'm afraid, however that I am more generous than you!

Looks like window dressing. Most people got off, and I doubt that any of those sentenced will ever see the inside of a prison.

Yes, I have used them often. Their new business class seats are excellent!

Indeed. I live in the UK, so the obvious choice is British Airways. Thus I have a British Airways premium Amex card, on which you get 1.5 Avios per pound, or 3 per pound if you book A BA flight. There are various other schemes to add up Avios, at the moment Amex are offering 80,000 points if you get a new card, convertible to Avios, though the card is expensive. You can also get Avios from some hotel chains and car hire companies. If you spend £15,000 on the premium card, you get a free companion voucher. If you don't have a companion, you can use voucher to reduce the Avios need by 50%. I used this for Sydney, 300,000, down to 150,000, and also Bangkok. That was business class, economy/premium economy requires far fewer Avios. Downside is that some destinations are very difficult to get Avios seats. Upside, Avios can be used with other One World Alliance airlines, American, Malaysian, Finnair, etc. I travel everywhere in Europe using Avios.

Not going to help tourism, or overseas image. Very sad.

Not going to help the image of a safe country for tourism.

Another good example of different people having different views and priorities. All good!

Must be mass masturbation to cause blockage to drains. Worth being there!

AeroLopa usually gives charts for each version of the relevant aircraft. To give you an idea of the way Seatguru can be out of date, they are still showing the seating plan for two versions of the British Aiirways 747, which were scrapped years ago. So far I have found AeroLopa to be more accurate.

Seat guru is sometimes out of date. I find that 'Aerolopa.com' is more reliable.

I assume that they did not have enough spare cash on them!
