I was unable to find a Psychotherapist in Hua Hin. https://www.bangkokhospital.com/en/huahin/doctor/dr-piyapat-piyamongkol?utm_source=chatgpt.com He should be able to point you in the correct direction. There are also rehabilitation centres in HH - if that's what's required.

A new insider claim suggests that the individual has spent hours in private with Kate Middleton, offering glimpses into her off-camera behaviour and interactions. According to the source, when the public eye drops away. Kate often shows intimate gestures—such as placing an arm around her husband’s waist—as she and Prince William walk away from events. The insider says these moments hint at a more grounded, affectionate side of the Princess of Wales that rarely makes it into press snapshots. This revelation comes amid heightened media scrutiny of Kate’s public appearances, health updates, and her relationship with William. Though the royal household has kept many details under wraps, observers are keen to read between the lines. The insider’s account adds more texture to a narrative often reduced to formalities and staged engagements. Key Takeaways: An insider claims to have witnessed Kate Middleton’s private, affectionate behaviours when cameras aren’t rolling. The revelations suggest a more intimate, human side to the Princess of Wales, beyond her public role. These claims may shift how fans and media interpret Kate’s public image and personal relationships. Adapted From: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/ive-spent-hours-kate-middleton-35951998

In Donald Trump’s 21-point proposal for a post-Gaza war transition, former British prime minister Tony Blair is being floated as the interim governor of Gaza — a move that has sparked intense debate across the Middle East and beyond. The proposal envisions a transitional body, called the Gaza International Transitional Authority (GITA), to oversee Gaza’s reconstruction and governance for a period before handing control back to a reformed Palestinian Authority (PA). Under the plan, Hamas would be disarmed, many fighters offered amnesty, and no Palestinians would be forcibly displaced; those who leave would have the right to return. The PA would be sidelined initially, with rebuilding and security infrastructure put under GITA’s remit, supported by a UN mandate and a stabilisation force drawn from Arab and Muslim countries. Blair’s experience in the region, via his Tony Blair Institute, is cited as a rationale for his selection. But the proposition is deeply controversial. In the Arab world and among critics in the UK, Blair remains a highly polarising figure — many label him a “war criminal” for his role in the Iraq War — and his appointment is seen by some as neocolonial interference. Blair’s past as a Middle East envoy, his involvement in Palestinian projects, and mixed reputation fuel suspicions that this would concentrate control in foreign hands. Furthermore, the plan faces practical and political obstacles. Israel insists it would retain security control over Gaza even under GITA, while Hamas and the PA have not publicly endorsed the proposal. Key Takeaways: Tony Blair is being proposed to lead an interim authority in Gaza after Hamas is removed. The plan aims to rebuild Gaza and later transition control to a reformed Palestinian Authority. Many see Blair’s appointment as controversial — accusations of colonial control, past war baggage, and disregard for Palestinian agency loom large.-rule.

The European Union is set to launch its long-delayed biometric border system, the Entry/Exit System (EES), on 12 October 2025. The new rules will require all non-EU travellers, including Britons post-Brexit, to register fingerprints and facial images at entry points to the Schengen zone. Officials have promised the system will modernise border control, improve security, and reduce fraud. However, concerns remain about the potential for severe delays at ports, airports, and train stations. Unlike airports where passengers are used to long queues, cross-Channel travellers face an added burden: completing checks before even beginning their journey. Operators including Eurostar, Eurotunnel, and the Port of Dover have invested millions in new kiosks, booths, and technology to ease the transition. Eurotunnel, which has spent €80m on infrastructure, claims its system can process 2,000 people per hour. The Port of Dover has also poured £17m into new facilities, though plans were altered last year to move kiosks further from the docks. Despite readiness claims, critics fear renewed traffic chaos at key entry points—especially Dover, where Brexit-related checks have already caused long tailbacks. A phased rollout over six to nine months is now planned, giving operators more breathing space. Still, delays seem inevitable, especially for drivers who will be asked to leave their vehicles for biometric checks unless exempt. With the UK now treated like any other non-EU country, British travellers may face the sharpest shock. The EU insists the system is necessary for stronger borders, but whether it delivers efficiency—or gridlock—remains to be seen. Key Takeaways: From 12 October, non-EU travellers must register fingerprints and photos at Schengen borders. Eurotunnel and Dover have spent heavily on new systems, but delays remain a major concern.

Native American groups have condemned the Pentagon’s decision to preserve military medals awarded to US soldiers involved in the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre. The National Congress of American Indians called the move a betrayal of truth and reconciliation, stressing that the killings of over 300 Lakota Sioux men, women, and children were war crimes, not acts of heroism. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the decision, citing a review panel that recommended against revoking the honours. He argued the medals “deserve” recognition and criticised past leaders for prioritising “political correctness” over “historical correctness.” Native leaders say the ruling undermines decades of healing efforts. In 1990, Congress formally expressed “deep regret” for the massacre, acknowledging its devastating impact on the Sioux people. Advocates stress that keeping the medals contradicts that resolution and dismisses Indigenous suffering. The decision comes amid broader Pentagon changes under Hegseth, including cutting diversity and inclusion programmes and ending commemorations such as Native American History Month. Critics note this follows earlier controversies, like the brief removal of references to Navajo Code Talkers online. The Wounded Knee Massacre marked the violent end of the Indian Wars, when US forces forced Native Americans from their lands onto reservations. For tribal communities, preserving the medals represents a painful refusal to fully confront this history. Key Takeaways: Pentagon rejects calls to revoke medals from Wounded Knee massacre. Native groups say decision blocks reconciliation and healing. Move follows wider rollback of diversity efforts under current leadership.

Recent reports suggest Meghan Markle is increasingly asserting influence over strategic decisions, particularly as tensions are said to rise around Prince Harry’s proposed UK plans. Sources allege Meghan has been “calling the shots” amid disagreements about where their children might attend school and how their family ties to the UK should evolve. Royal commentators see this as a potential shift in power dynamic within the couple, with Meghan possibly pushing a more assertive public role. Meanwhile, insiders claim Harry feels “raging” or frustrated by the behind-the-scenes pressure. The speculation has reignited debate about how Meghan and Harry balance their private lives, public image, and the institution of monarchy. While much remains unconfirmed, the narrative fits a pattern: Meghan has long been depicted as a strategic voice in the Sussex household, helping steer careers, philanthropy, and media projects. But critics argue that reports of her dominance are exaggerated or mischaracterised by tabloids. As the duel between personal ambition and royal legacy continues to play out, the question is: how will these tensions shape their next moves — in both the UK and the United States? Key Takeaways Reports claim Meghan Markle is “calling the shots” in disagreements over Prince Harry’s UK ambitions. Sources say the dynamic is creating friction and frustration within the royal couple. The narrative reignites debate about Meghan’s influence and the balance of power in the Sussex partnership.
