Don Mueang International Airport Introduces 24/7 Automated Passport Checks
They may be AI controlled and learned from human immigration so they should be OK, from my experience anyway.

Airfare Surge: Bangkok–London Economy Reaches 70,000 Baht
I use the Middle East as it's roughly an even split going to the UK. I normally use Gulf Air as I have frequent flyer status with them, but I've used Emirates, Qatar and Etihad previously. I have a bad back from an accident years ago, although it seems to have been less of a problem in recent years. I did fly Austrian a couple of years back but that was business class. Swiss BKK-ZRH-LHR and LHR-VIE-DEL-BKK. The DEL-BKK leg was with Thai. To be honest I can't even remember Vienna airport.

Airfare Surge: Bangkok–London Economy Reaches 70,000 Baht
Direct flights are usually more expensive. It's not really a good comparison as most flights have at least one stop-over. I don't know the situation now but before Covid there were 3 airlines doing direct flights. EVA, British Airways and Thai Arways. I need to go to the UK myself in July and I use Gulf Air as I have frequent flyer status. I'm just hoping things sort out before then.

Dual Pricing Debate Clouds Thai Tourism Outlook
A Thai driving licence used to get you the same price as Thais when I first came here. I think that stopped after the last coup.

Masked Gang Raid Brit’s Pattaya Home, Flee With ฿2m
Yes, you could be right. Not a very sensible thing to do.

Five Dead, Six Injured in Chainat Pickup Crash
You'd think someone next to him might have woken him up. Unless they were asleep as well.

Masked Gang Raid Brit’s Pattaya Home, Flee With ฿2m
The safe seems a bit odd. Normally you'd have it secured to something, or have it in a floor or wall. According to the reports they just took it. They'll have to break it open somehow as if they had the key or combination I would assume they would have taken just the money.

Foreigner’s ‘Don’t Go to Thailand’ Video Goes Viral
I'm sure I've seen a very similar video, but from a female. I'll try to find it.

Australian Tourist, 58, Dies After Phuket Assault
It looks as if it might have been the fall that caused his death rather than the actual assault.

British Man Dies After Motorbike Crash in Thailand
From the way it's worded he took out the insurance but they learned after the accident they learned of the restrictions. He was 23 and living and working in Australia from I can tell so I would guess he arranged it himself.

Five Dead, Six Injured in Chainat Pickup Crash
It looks as if he was going way too fast as far as I can see. I'm surprised more weren't killed to be honest. Unless I'm misreading this the five killed and six injured, so 11 overall, were all in the one pickup. Thais are extremely efficient when it comes to death and injury on the roads. Helped of course by the police not doing a very good job, or the Department of land Transport not really testing people. It's their country and their choice, but that doesn't alter the fact that they'd rather have lax driving testing and traffic enforcement, than save lives.
