  1. 7-Eleven Thailand don't accept debit cards as their sister company True Money want us to use the True Money app, which works very well as soon you manage to get approved as a foreigner.
  2. As of April 2024, Thailand has 14,545 7-Eleven outlets, which is an increase from the previous year. 7-Eleven is the first convenience store chain in Thailand, opening its first store on June 1, 1989 on Patpong Road in Bangkok. 7-Eleven has the highest number of convenience stores in Thailand, operated by CP All Plc. 45% of the chain is company-owned, and 55% is franchised. — ASEANNOW 2024-04-16
  3. Denmark's historic old stock exchange building in the centre of Copenhagen has been engulfed by fire. The 17th Century Børsen is one of the city's oldest buildings and onlookers gasped as its iconic spire collapsed in the flames. Everyone inside the building was able to leave and people rushed to rescue some of its historic paintings. Culture minister Jakob Engel-Schmidt said 400 years of Danish cultural heritage had gone up in flames. The building, dating back to 1625, is a stone's throw from Denmark's parliament, the Folketing, and the royal palace, Christiansborg. Danish media said the nearby square was being evacuated. The old stock exchange was being renovated and had been shrouded in scaffolding and protective plastic covering. It currently houses the Danish chamber of commerce, which described the scenes on Tuesday morning as a terrible sight. Local craftsman Henrik Grage told Danish TV that it was a tragic day. "This is our Notre-Dame," he said, comparing it with the fire that engulfed the roof and spire of the cathedral in the centre of Paris in 2019. Passing residents joined emergency services, as well as chamber of commerce director Brian Mikkelsen, in saving the art treasures from the Børsen. The Dutch Renaissance-style building on the city's Slotsholmen, or palace island, was commissioned by Denmark's King Christian IV with the aim of turning Copenhagen into a major trading centre. Its spire featured four dragons whose tails were twisted into a spear and three crowns, symbolising close ties with neighbours Norway and Sweden. Full story: -- BBC 2024-04-16

  5. OFF-TOPIC This topic is about visa agents for New Zealand visas for Thais, and has nothing to do with visa agents facilitating visa extensions for foreigners in Thailand. Off-topic posts has been removed and topic is now closed. /Admin
  6. Maybe. Just a thought: Could police/government in any country request your historical GPS locations in the event of court case/police investigation? Would Google share that information with authorities?
  7. I have iPhone. Can't find it... Timeline is empty but it's set to ON. No data.

  10. The reason is that this change needs a cabinet decision, and can take time. Expect the TM6 to disappear completely within 6 months.

  12. Big Brother is watching you splashing water during Songkran in Bangkok. They say they can identify Thai revelers entering Khao San Road.

  16. An anti-missile system operates after Iran launched drones and missiles towards Israel, as seen from Ashkelon, Israel, on April 14, 2024. (Pic courtesy of Amir Cohen) SUMMARY: Iran Launches Major Attack on Israel Tensions between Iran and Israel flared dramatically early on Sunday morning as Iran launched a large-scale missile and drone attack against targets across Israel. The attack, which began around 1:00 am local time, targeted all areas of Israel and resulted in explosions throughout the country. According to Iranian media reports, the attack included hundreds of drones and missiles, including ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. While the full extent of the damage caused by the attack is still being assessed, initial reports indicate that Israel’s Iron Dome defense system was successful in intercepting many of the incoming projectiles. There were widespread reports of explosions throughout Israel as Iranian drones and missiles struck their targets. While there have been reports of injuries on both sides, fortunately there have been no fatalities reported in Israel at this time. Jordan also reported that Iranian missiles flew over its airspace during the attack. The Israeli military responded to the attack by launching airstrikes against targets within Iran. The full extent of the damage caused by these retaliatory strikes is not yet known. World leaders have expressed condemnation of the Iranian attack and have called for an immediate de-escalation of the conflict. The United States has condemned the Iranian attack in the strongest terms and has pledged its unwavering support for Israel. This latest attack represents a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel. It is not yet clear what prompted this attack, but it is likely that it is a retaliation for a recent Israeli airstrike on Iranian targets. The international community is now watching closely to see how Israel will respond to this latest attack. There are serious concerns that this attack could lead to a wider regional conflict. Background of the Conflict The conflict between Iran and Israel has been simmering for decades. The two countries have long been at odds over a number of issues, including Iran’s nuclear program, its support for Hezbollah and other militant groups, and its role in the Syrian civil war. In recent months, tensions between the two countries have escalated. Israel has carried out a number of airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria, while Iran has vowed to retaliate for these attacks. The Impact of the Attack The Iranian attack on Israel is likely to have a significant impact on the region. It is likely to further destabilize the region and could lead to a wider conflict. The attack is also likely to damage Iran’s already strained relations with the international community. The international community is now calling for all sides to show restraint and to avoid taking any actions that could further escalate the conflict. It is important to find a diplomatic solution to this crisis before it is too late. This is a developing story, and more information is expected to emerge in the coming hours and days. -- Summary by ASEAN NOW 2024-04-14
  17. Iran has deployed drones heading for Israel, according to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), in what could be claimed as an act of retaliation, but risks triggering WW3. The move by Iran follows its pledge to retaliate for an assault on its consulate in Syria on the 1st of April, an attack it attributes to Israel, which resulted in the death of several Iranian commanders. The IDF revealed that the journey for the drones could take several hours, covering a distance of approximately 1,100 miles (1,800 kilometres). Officials have confirmed that Israeli forces are on high alert and are “monitoring all targets” in anticipation of potential threats. This announcement came shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel had activated its “defensive systems” in response to the threats. What Israel know about the situation so far 🚨DRONE LAUNCH IRAN – Multiple sources state from US officials, “dozens of suicide drone launches from Iran headed towards Israel”. 50-100+ drones depending on report. IDF confirms. Continued launching – maybe more. 🚨DRONE LAUNCH YEMEN – Unofficial at the moment. ⚠️ TIMING from Iran – Early morning Hypersonic Cruise missile – 10 minutes Cruise missile – < 1 hour Ballistic missile – 4 hours Suicide Drone/UAV – 6-9+ hours The different types will be launched to arrive together. On the way, they have to pass at least 4 defence systems, starting with warships, Patriot systems stationed in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and American bases in the Middle East, Israeli defence systems and Israeli fighter jets. BUT, expect to hear about additional launches from Syria and Yemen, and Lebanon. ⚠️EL AL THAILAND FIGHTS – returning to Thailand due to Jordan airspace closure. ⚠️GPS JAMMING – expect nationwide GPS jamming immediately. ⚠️AIRSPACE YEMEN – closed. -- The Thaiger 2024-04-14 This topic was discussed here:
