Proof of Address for Wise
Have to be careful with this one I have just had a bit of a nightmare with mine turned out was quite easy in the end. Basically i am from the UK registered my Wise account with my Thai address using my bank statement and that's fine they let me do that and type in an address that wasn't exactly how it was on my bank statement, then they send me a please confirm your address or we will suspend your account email so I tried to re type the address and it wouldn't accept it, just kept on saying the address doesn't look right. So I copied and pasted the address exactly how it was on the bank statement and it worked, I think there is some kind of country look up on the address that you use on your registered address to ensure it actually exists and it worked

British TV Star Zara McDermott’s Filming Fright in Thailand
What a pretentious, snobby, drama-queen, click-bait, sheltered, judgmental, condescending, self-absorbed, narcissistic, pompous, vain, haughty, superficial, overdramatic, sensationalist, melodramatic, sanctimonious, holier-than-thou, self-important, prima donna, and attention-starved young lady shouldn't have given her permission in the first place what did she expect?

Hardly surprising seeing as how they the majority of Asia's ice in the back of their truck and know they have a pending visit to the tiger forever or maybe make it into the death chamber (rare these days so might have to get used to a room with 20 other people in and fish head soup until they drop of this mortal coil)

Welcome to your new Prime Minister Mr Farage and this is just the start!
Key Achievements: Parliamentary Breakthrough: In a landmark victory, Reform UK secured the Runcorn and Helsby parliamentary seat by a mere six votes, with Sarah Pochin defeating Labour's candidate. This win adds to their presence in Parliament, bringing their total to five MPs. Reuters+8AP News+8Cadena SER+8 Mayoral Success: The party achieved its first regional mayoralty by winning the Greater Lincolnshire mayoral race, signaling its growing appeal beyond parliamentary contests. Yahoo News UK+7AP News+7Financial Times+7 Local Council Gains: Reform UK made substantial inroads in local elections, notably gaining 23 council seats in Northumberland. These gains came at the expense of both Labour and Conservative parties, highlighting a shift in local political dynamics. The Standard Political Implications: These victories underscore Reform UK's emergence as a formidable force in British politics, challenging the traditional dominance of Labour and the Conservatives. Farage has positioned the party as the new opposition, capitalizing on public dissatisfaction with mainstream parties. The party's focus on issues like immigration and economic reform resonates with a segment of the electorate seeking alternatives to established political narratives.

Vaping in Thailand how strictly is it enforced?
I am sure this question has been asked many times but I have recently cut down from a very heavy smoker 40+ a day down to zero using a vape. I purchased the vape and accessories from China Lazada and it is always for my personal use I have heard about crackdowns on importers and smugglers and some high profile vaping cases but not much about general Joe Bloggs getting done. I have done all my research and know it is still early days on the health implications of vaping but I can't see it being any worse than 40 Marlboro a day for me. The official penalties even for personal use do seem excessively high so definitely for the moment I am going to stick to doing this in the privacy of my own condo however when I am out and about I do see many people using vapes. Wondered if anyone has any personal experience regarding this?
