Cannabis Shops to Close by April 1, 2025: Thai PM Orders Drug Rescheduling
No Compensation from the government I'll bet, feel sorry for all those led up the garden path by the incompetence of the Muppets trying to screw the country as much as they can.

Thai Woman Arrested for Extorting British Husband
Disgusting treatment of a young child, clearly shouldn't be a parent. I hope the guy gets his daughter to safety and her son too.

Getting around Yasothon .
To the best of my knowledge there are no Bolt or Grab services available in Yasothon city but then I always drive myself when in town. I would ask at reception and try and secure the services of a Samlor. The last time I was there for the Bang Fai the road between the hotel and the park was for pedestrians only. It's walkable if you are able, probably take 20 to 25 minutes.

British Tourist Warned Over Criticism of Thailand Online
OMB shades of the KGB, Stasi etc and other oppressive policing organisations. National security is the blanket term used when such fragile government's have no real reason to clamp down on people. A complete joke making the organs of government look even more ridiculous than they already are.

PM Srettha Takes Charge of Rayong Chemical Fire Crisis
Absurd waste of a PMs time. As usual it's the inspection and enforcement that is the problem, no doubt inspections are passed along with the usual envelopes.

Taxi from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Yasothon
5k is cheap from Pattaya the cost of diesel alone would be 1.5k as I know. I do the drive myself as I live 40km south of Yasothon city. 6k from Swampy would be a good price. Swampy to Yaso is 6-6.5 hours actual driving with all the new road upgrades especially the 207 and 202 which are largely dual carriageway now.

Why/How is British English different from American English?
There is no such thing as British English. There is only English and then there is a variety of other people's that speak a type of English based on the actual English language. As per your example, American then there are Australian, New Zealand etc the list goes on.

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
Complete <deleted>. I pay income tax on my pensions because my combined income means they they are over the 12570 GBP allowed tax free. So in fact I pay for UK services I never use and haven't in nearly 16 years but can't have any increase to my 40 years of NI contributions to my state pension. Get the facts right. If your income is over the minimum for tax and your income arises in the UK you will be paying income tax, regardless of where you live.

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
Correct there have been recent articles in the UK press about the state pension being tax free because the threshold for paying tax is being outstripped by the triple lock increases, putting pensioners in the the tax bracket...

List of docs for extension by marriage
When I apply for my marriage extension I usually go 2 weeks before the current one expires. I am then stamped as under consideration for 30 days, that's 2 weeks after my current extension has expired. I go back to the IO to receive my new extension according to the date stamp to return for it. I then receive my new extension for another year which starts and finishes on the dates of the previous one.

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
When my proof of life form came to me here I had to get signed and with a official stamp. I went to Pattaya beach road police station where there is a officer who is assigned to do this and paid 200 baht plus a tip. He duly completed the relevant section on the form in English and plonked the official Thai police stamp under his signature. Lawyers, doctors etc can also do this if you can find one. DWP send out the proof of life forms at random to your official address you registered with them, there is a time limit for you to respond, no response and your pension payments are stopped.

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
The only problem there is when they send out the random proof of life form to your registered address in PH and there is no reply, your pension will be stopped.

Mass arrests made as US campus protests over Gaza spread
Protesting in favour of terrorism the same as in the UK. Completely bonkers. Remember 9/11, remember London bridge etc etc. These people are the the lowest form of animals on Earth. Do we see other religious groups raiding villages, raping, beheading, kidnapping, slaughtering and think it all a joke... I think not.
