BOT Tightens Cash Rules With ID Checks For All
However, now someone at the bank can decide whether you're allowed to take your own money or not. So they're doing more than "looking after your money" - they now control your personal life. "Transactions lacking a reasonable explanation must not proceed." - who decides what is "reasonable"?

“Aem Cyanide” Acquitted in Cyanide Murder Case Due to Lack of Evidence
This is categorically false. She does not remain in custody "as the charge is severe enough to warrant a possible death sentence." - this would imply that innocent people are kept in custody based on the nature of what they're charged with - farcical. She remains in custody because she was already convicted of another murder.

Phuket Eatery Owner Faces Backlash for Banning Israeli Guest
It was a smoothie place (yoghurt close enough I guess) and he was refused service rather than kicked out, but I applaud you for recognising that a city does seem a bit fascist if staff memebers refusing service based on differing political beliefs is applauded by its citizens.

Thai Man Accuses Russian Tourists of Stealing Pet Cat
Stealing a cat is a dipsh*t move, however, it has nothing to do with Thailand's visa-free policy. Does this xenophobic moron think that had the lady applied for a visa, she'd suddenly stop being a dipsh*t cat thief???

We Are In WW3
He also claims Israel is following an "old book" (even though religious freedom exists in Israel) whilst ignoring that Iran LITERALLY runs its country according to an interpretation of the Quran. Making grand claims does not make one an expert.

Alcohol Sales Prohibited in Thailand for Makha Bucha Day 2026
I don't want anything banned for the day, just pointing out the illogical focus on alcohol

Alcohol Sales Prohibited in Thailand for Makha Bucha Day 2026
Why aren't tobacco and weed sales also restricted? Surely one vice is as bad as another under Buddhist precepts.

Polio Sufferer Escapes Cambodia Scam Ring
This story has a lot of holes: She was abducted and taken across the border by some people, who then confiscated her phone, but then gave it back to her at a hotel (they didn't think she'd contact someone??). Her father "sought police assistance, prompting coordination with regional authorities" but these authorities seemingly did nothing as the lady then had to escape the hotel by hiring a driver to take them to a bamboo grove, where they then crossed back into Thailand. Also, she apparently escaped AFTER hearing about the previous building being set on fire, which she "heard about". Didn't she say those people didn't have phones - who was she contacting? And to top it all off, they were fined for an illegal crossing!? Would Thai authorities really fine a victim of human trafficking?

Four Dead as SUV Hits Pole in Prachuap Crash
What? He also MAY have lost control by himself cutting in front of another vehicle or driving too fast and hitting a bunp in the road or or or... A body being thrown from the car would lead me to speculate that few if any seatbelts were being worn and that the poor little boy was likely not in a child car seat (since adults that don't believe in safety often just let the kids stand at the back or sit on a lap etc.)

Thailand Election 2026: Bhumjaithai Nears Substantial Win
Ineed. Three key points for me where they stumbled 1) Not having a clear plan for moving social security out of government control 2) Hard stance against weed 3) Leader ranting/raving/shouting on stage using "impolite" language - didn't sit well with many who might have like Pita and Thanathorn before.

GF of 2 years suddenly blocked me
That's good, so she can still receive money. I suggest sending her more, maybe 20,000, and then you can add a note with the transfer "Please unblock me" - maybe that will work.

Best bank for general use
I used to say Kbank only, but when it comes to doing changes related to passport updates/phone number changes etc. out of province recently, I have found KTB to be much easier to work with. Both are great though and I generally use Kbank for daily and KTB for longterm.
