Govt Invites Public to Buy Fruits From Thailand Post
Burma Bill replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Interesting, but can Thailand Post guarantee freshness of the fruit so one does not receive a parcel of stale/mouldy fruit?? Perhaps TP will use refrigerated trucks. -

Maybe got the wrong countries: A court in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) has handed prison terms to eight people involved in a kidney trading ring that sent 37 Vietnamese to Cambodia as organ donors. https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501262035/vietnamese-court-jails-eight-for-sending-37-of-their-nationals-to-cambodia-to-sell-their-kidneys/

Check your 20 baht Thai bills! You may be sitting on extra cash
Burma Bill replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
None of these 20 baht notes but how about these I acquired through Bangkok Bank during my retirement in Thailand. They are not old but were issued in presentation packs by the Bank of Thailand. First, issued on 5th December 2007 to commemorate the 80th Birthday of the Late King. 1, 5 and 10 baht notes on an uncut sheet: Second, issued on 5th December 2011 to commemorate the Late King's 7th Cycle Birthday Anniversary. A single 100 baht note (which I never saw in general circulation): These are among my collection of coins, banknotes and stamps which now reside in Cambodia. -
Phuket Cannabis Cup to be held at Kata Beach this weekend
Burma Bill replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Yes indeed - "pungent air pollution"!! -
With respect, it is a matter of personal choice. I would never, ever live in Bangkok with its concrete jungle. I was born in the UK Oxfordshire countryside and cities like London and Birmingham were not my scene. So, when I lived in Thailand for 20 years, the country bumpkin land of Lanna and Isaan were my choice, both being very friendly and scenic. I only visited Bangkok for the British Embassy/Passport Office or flying out from DMK or BKK.

With respect, not at all. For reference from international media:- "The investigation dates back to last year, when US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Secret Service agents informed Thai police that Indian cyber criminals and Thai nationals had set up a phone scam network to trick elderly people in US into transferring money to them.............................The fraudsters, pretending to be US law-enforcement officials, preyed on the fear of their victims by telling them that they were being investigated for alleged money laundering. The callers then demanded that they transfer money into their “mule” accounts if they wanted to have the cases settled without further litigation..........................................................In some cases the victims were sent links containing viruses, which allowed the scammers to take control of their devices......................................................the gang used Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong (China), the United Arab Emirates, Peru and Poland as bases to receive money transfers" Full story:- https://en.vietnamplus.vn/thailand-arrests-phone-scam-gang-targeting-elderly-americans/250318.vnp

Thailand Records 5 Million Foreign Arrivals

That is all what Thailand cares about - the money grabbing bar stewards!! No proper Health & Safety, tourists being robbed, scams, dual pricing, road accidents etc. etc. And now the possibility of radioactive contamination!! -
