50,000 baht request from Thai long time friend.
From what I have seen they organise all the wake and cremation etc and then after people attending at the home or temple before the cremation day usually contribute whatever they wish in an envelope. This is then used to pay most or all of the cost . Everything is organised on either a small deposit for main things or good faith if they know the person. Also I'm sure the insurance companies usually pay out around 10% of any policy for covering the service expenses. They then pay out the remaining policy amount either shortly after the cremation or in some cases it can take up to 6 months.

Anyone been bitten by a Thai scorpion? Is it the same as bee sting?
Black ones are not so bad and easier to just get rid off . The small brown / tan colour ones hurt like hell according to my wife . She thought it would be a good idea to strim the small grass area outside our front gate wearing flip flops 😄 Couldn't walk properly for 3 days after getting stung and first day basically couldn't put her foot down on the floor it was that painful.

Bangkok sees drop in scam-related incidents for British tourists
Would guess based on digital scams , ATM fraud etc. Feet on the ground one to one scams interacting with people and involving actual cash I think the hub of bkk might still keep its crown .

Government to Crack Down on Low-Quality Chinese Imports
They wanted all the Chinese FFS !! Did they think the Chinese were going to come on holiday, eat everything in sight , then shop and leave. They are everywhere doing whatever they want until caught . Pretty sure most of the stuff in cheap Thai shops will be Chinese made . I have seen several buildings in the guise of restaurants with Chinese writing all over the outside and staff standing around all day doing nothing. Yet I have not seen anyone actually in these places sitting eating.
