Conscripts, such as he would probably be, cannot be sent to fight outside the country during their 12 months military service.

Where is her picture?

Why?

Why? What had he done to you?

I'm sure the feeling is mutual with many members Malcolm That reaction here, so far, sure doesn't seem to be the case!

Why would anyone want to go through all this in real life!?

Because he's special!

"...had I been in Thailand the phone call would have bankrupted me". Wow, sorry to hear that, you must really be on the bread line as international mobile calls are dirt cheap from Thailand to the UK...Dtac (004) B1 per minute, AIS and True average around B2.50-B3.00 per minute...one hour call B180-200 maximum!

Whatever mate Indeed.

Why so much derision for volunteers who are only there, in the main, to assist foreigners in their dealings with the police?

No its not, they are civilian idiots, playing at being cops. Yes, it is, they are given the authority by the police authority, as civilian volunteers, to be involved.

In fairness, they do have the power of illusion, fantasy and probably frequent hallucinations. As I said, just the same as everyone else.

If they are police volunteers at a police road block involving stopping foreigners, it is their concern.

Same as anyone else's who is in the country legally. No police powers.

Is it? I ordered an item from China using Temu on 2nd August which was delivered in Bangkok, with no additional VAT, on the 6th August. That's about half the usual time with no tax.

The insurance's death benefit would not normally be invalidated just because the insured was murdered but the payout to the beneficiary would be if he was the murderer.

The only things needed to make a will valid is for it to be in writing (apart from one very infrequent circumstance that does not apply n this thread), dated at the time of making and signed by the testator in the presence of at least 2 witnesses who sign their names to certify the signature of the testator. Nothing else is needed, nothing. "...help speed up whatever will make the will valid". The validity of a will cannot be "sped up", administration/probate possibly could be sped up by the court for a valid will. A legally prepared will is valid regardless of who, or which agency, looks at it, summarises it, copies it, records it or stamps it unless a more recent will supersedes it.

"Tourist Police Division 4, Sub-Division 2, brought in Mr. Patipan So-Heng, a 28-year-old security guard from Soi Pattaya 6, for questioning at the Pattaya City Police Station's investigation room. Mr. Patipan So-Heng, 28, spoke to reporters about the incident, explaining that he was informed by locals about a tourist attempting to break into a car. When the car owner confronted the tourist, the latter became aggressive. Mr. Patipan intervened to check the situation, but the tourist refused to cooperate and pushed him against a car. In response, Mr. Patipan pushed back. The tourist then tried to advance again, prompting Mr. Patipan to push him once more, causing the tourist to fall and hit his head on the ground. Mr. Patipan stressed that eyewitnesses did not see the entire incident from the beginning and misunderstood the situation. He attempted to explain to the tourist, but the tourist ran away. Upon seeing news reports of the incident, Mr. Patipan contacted the police to clarify the events. CCTV footage captured the altercation, clearly showing there was no punching involved, only pushing, which led to the tourist falling and injuring himself. The footage has been submitted to investigators as evidence to ensure fair proceedings for all parties involved.” What point are you attempting to make? That was posted after the original OP to which I referred! This is what I posted, as can be seen in my comment that you quoted... "In the original OP, although that apparently inaccurate report has since been corrected".

It wasn't.

Is there an office that you would recommend to register will? I am just trying to validate authenticity of the will for the sake of my Executor. No Thai government offices "validate" wills, nor is there any need for that, a will is either valid by virtue of being properly drawn up and witnessed, or it isn't. Having a district office staff member look at it doesn't make it valid if it isn't already valid. If you're referring to a desire to have the will acted upon without delay, the only government agency that can do that legally is the court that deals with administration/probate. https://www.samuiforsale.com/family-law/forms-of-wills-under-thai-law. "The most common last will and testament in Thailand is a last will in writing, dated at the time of making and signed by the testator in the presence of at least 2 witnesses who sign their names to certify the signature of the testator (section 1656 of the Civil and Commercial Code). It is not required that such a will is notarized or registered for it to be a valid legal will".

I'm pretty sure that it takes two "scumbags" to create a pregnancy.

There has been no suggestion that the family were not provided with that information in view of his sister saying, categorically, that he boarded the Finnair flight.

That was issued by the family, not by the police.

The airline has no obligation to release that information to the press or public, they may well have released it to his family, as the article suggests.

Because I don't need one...the OP may, though.
