British man quits England for Thailand’s tropical tranquility
How is this newsworthy? Hundreds of people do this every day unfortunately most will return home with their tail between their legs. I give it 4 months and few trips to immigration before those rose tinted glasses are slapped off his face. Said he was working as a receptionist for £11 an hour so bet he wasn’t get vast amounts of money saved, doesn’t mention after university so not sure he has a degree (good luck getting a long term teaching job where you can settle down and have a family without one) having a British passport and language means nothing anymore unlike 15 years ago when it was a rarity and guaranteed you a job. Thailand is much cheaper than the Uk but the typical salary here is less as well (unless you have certain skills and qualifications in demand, not really screaming out for receptionists last time i checked recruitment websites) wish him luck but think he is for a rude awakening when reality sets in, AseanNow thought this was news worthy lets see if they can do a follow in the next 4 months when his visa expires and then again in 12 months if he is still here

Thailand Plans Year-End Ban on Recreational Cannabis
Will be thoroughly reviewed by the cabinet before implementation! Hold on am I missing something ? Isn't one of the current cabinet namely the Deputy Prime Minister responsible for the whole debacle of decriminalizing weed in the first place… after he encouraged investors is he going to be held liable

Foreign couple condemned for sex antics on Phuket beach (video)
Ok not the best idea but id be more concerned about the guy who rode past then turned around then located himself in a good position to be able to film, every dodgy thing a foreigner does will negatively effect the image of Thailand.. half the stuff thats goes on in Thailand daily that the news doesn’t publish would be disastrous for the country if it was reported in English

Unruly British man goes berserk on Bangkok-London flight (video)
Few bad elements can quickly give a country a bad name, however Asean now seems to only publish incidents relating to foreigners in trouble, if it was to actually watch and report incidents happening among local residents on the thai news channels then they would cause a drastic drop in foreign visitors and likely come under pressure from the government. Best to cause divisions among the foreigners than to report the whole news

Exploited Thai workers: Debt, deception, and the dark side of berry picking in Europe
The allure of high salaries (compared to Thailand) what they don’t factor in is the high cost of living expenses and the taxes each month that they will be subject to, heard it many times before “ my son is going to London and will be working at Dunkin’ Donuts and will be earning 80,000 baht a month” can see there heart sink when i tell them about London rents and uk tax and national insurance payments
