Queen Suthida Launches Amazing Thailand Marathon 2025
It is a bit confusing as there was a marathon, a half marathon, and a 10k on the same day. Some of those reported times are for the full marathon, but HM Suthida ran a half marathon in 2:13, which isn't bad for a beginner IMO.

New pension rules for UK expats (budget announcement)
That was a very good deal, only available for people working abroad during the "missing" years. I was living abroad but not working, and had to pay for my 3 "missing" years at the class 3 rate. Still a good investment though.

Paul Doyle Admits Guilt in Liverpool Parade Attack Horror
Dashcam footage from Doyle’s vehicle shows that as he approached Dale Street and Water Street, he became increasingly agitated by the crowds. Rather than wait for them to pass, he deliberately drove at them, forcing his way through. Driving a vehicle into a crowd is an act of calculated violence. This was not a momentary lapse by Paul Doyle — it was a choice he made that day and it turned celebration into mayhem." https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/paul-doyle-everything-you-need-32950044 Seems the "angry mob" formed as a result of his deliberate act of violence.

almost seems like bank fraud to me
Were you given the choice of being charged in your home currency? You should choose Thai Baht (฿) when withdrawing money from an ATM in Thailand to get a much better exchange rate. If the ATM asks if you want to be charged in your home currency (USD), always select the option that says "Without Conversion" or "No Conversion".

Happy Thanksgiving (Thursday)! Whatever your nationality.
Any excuse to gather family and friends together for a feast (of food, drink, and reminiscences) is ok by me. Christmas, New Year, birthdays, weddings, christenings, even funerals. Thanksgiving is not celebrated by my family but it does look like something we would enjoy, if we were American. Happy Thanksgiving to all our American members. Hoping you have a great day tomorrow.

Police Arrest Woman for Fraud Against Injured Australian
The way I read it is that the guy prepared docs to authorise payment for his treatment (cost not stated), but those docs were later forged and used to withdraw more cash for the scammers - not for the hospital. How did the scammers get hold of those docs? GF? Hospital cashier?

- Did you get married in Bangrak or somewhere else?
Somewhere else, 25+ years ago. What is special about Bangrak?- Thai Businesses Cheer As Alcohol Rule Easing Boosts Tourism
That rule changed in 2013.- Thai girl was totally shameless
He's probably billing his clients ฿4,000 per hour whilst spending most of that time on Aseannow (or dating sites). - Did you get married in Bangrak or somewhere else?
