Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner just crushed in India right after take off. Again Boeing.
From a justice point of view, murder suicides have always been frustrating.

I am a pilot. Small single engine only.

In many ways, the preliminary findings are reassuring with regard to a safety problem with the 787. This seems most likely to be a mass murder suicide, or less likely an accident. The German Wings pilot flew into a mountain and killed everyone. But when you are learning to fly, you learn very quickly that a crash on take off is usually a fatal event. Whereas crashes on landing, especially in small planes, tend to have lots of damage to the plane, but fewer fatalities. They teach you this, because everyone is so afraid of landing with the ground coming up to meet you. But the take off is more dangerous and you need to respect the take off, be on your game and following your checklists and have a plan if you lose an engine.

Covid Spike in BKK?
People are tested for Covid every day all over the world. However, the best information on population prevalence is probably the work related to sewage sampling for Covid and other illnesses

I think that vinapu outed his “spy” who would be reporting on Tawan at the end of the month.

Calling the US from Japan
If you have WiFi access, you can put your phone in airplane mode with WiFi on and make calls from a US numbered phone to a US phone number in the US with WiFi calling on. This would eliminate any problems if they are coming from the eSIM

Back in Bangkok after only one month!
I am worried that the staff at Foodland may see so much of @jason1975 that memories of @vinapu may begin to fade. Perhaps vinapu needs to make an appearance soon to refresh their memories.

The Line account seems to be for an individual and not specifically for Pheremore Massage. Perhaps the owner’s Line Account. A work in progress, I guess.

U.S. ISSUES TRAVEL WARNING FOR THAILAND
I think that these provinces have been on a warning list for the US state department since before the current ad administration.

Do you think they really didn't want their guests' opinions?
They may understand their clientele quite well. But they also may be up against the wall in terms of hiring people. It is becoming increasingly difficult to hire fast food workers. They may be trying to get away with not having the counter workers in order to continue to staff Enough people to serve food. I am sure they also understood that they were gonna lose customers with this. Fast food automation seems to irritate a lot of people of various demographics and they just leave.

Expats seek income tax clarification from the prime minister
I have to wonder about foreign credit cards. I realize that one cannot use a credit card for everything in Thailand. But if one were to use a North American or European credit card with no foreign transaction fees for most purchases, and then paid off said foreign credit card with funds from a North American or European bank, then the money would never be “remitted” to Thailand, despite being spent in Thailand.

So is this a poor imitation of the “vinapu tuck” or an innovative variation? The “seated tuck" inspired by vinapu

How is the Welcome Wagon group in Pattaya? I understand that it is not gay, per se, but as long as it is not homophobic, I think that it could be quite useful. I also think that having non-gay expat friends (both male and female) could be less complicated. This would be true in Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines.
