https://aseannow.com/rss/44-thailand-news.xml/National and regional news from all around ThailandenYes they have - what they have now is stupid (as with so many things here). If you work for a period you get automatic Thai coverage, and you can maintain even when you stop working by making a payment. Not sure how many and how long - but I know of a couple of Expats that have maintained their Thai coverage. Unfortunately, the Thai insurance companies are owned by the same people who own almost everything here (very wealthy Thainese families), and they dont want anything to change and they wield a lot of influence over the Govt. That is just one of the many many reasons why those families will do anything to stop PP etc from ever getting into power - because they will make huge changes that are good for all and not for the wealthy families. They have used the Military before and they will use them again if needed.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:57:33 +0000The shots are confirmed, his account, and thereby your statement, not.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:57:14 +0000Weaponiising the kids that his dying father so badly wants to see to try to get what he wants. Classy. Although I have to say it would be great news if Rachel Markle stayed in California. We dont need the vocal fried, D list, skanky grifter in the UK.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:56:10 +0000Obama no speak well. Him girly boy, not manly good guy, like Trump.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:55:10 +0000What should happen, destructive drugs like Ice, Heroin etc should be banned. Get caught using, 2 years in the can, get caught importing, manufacturing, 20 years in the can. Street dealers, 10 years. Then manufacture “safer” drugs like Coke, Ecstasy and dope in Pharmaceutical companies so you know the purity. Sell it through licensed sellers to people over 18 etc with appropriate warnings. Yes young people will get around the age restriction and people will still abuse it but you’ve removed the more dangerous drugs and are selling what there is a demand for. The government can apply the appropriate tax and organised crime then had to find another way of making money. Prohibition never works!Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:54:56 +0000Should you keep your nose in your own business? If you don't want to not wear a shirt then dress up in 10 layers of clothing just like back in Siberia comrade ✅Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:54:18 +0000"Not registered to pay Thai tax, nobody has ever asked me to do that." Actually nobody will ask you but it's your duty to do so. Maybe in the future at the immigration (extension of stay) you will will be asked to show your tax number. And it's easily checked with the revenue. In your case it's a hefty fine then.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:54:01 +0000Any time you're out jogging and are coming up on dogs, stop and continue walking until you pass them. The running entices them to chase, thinking you're running into their territory as other dogs do. They go after small animals the same way.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:53:35 +0000God wasn't in the public square to begin with. So the country started going to the dogs at the start is what you're saying.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:53:32 +0000No waiting list - we both still have an active Medicare card/account. If you stay away continuously for over 5 years (no visits etc.) then your account lapses and you reapply and coverage is immediate. We have maintained an address etc in Australia - so no problems. If you stay away under 5 years the account is automatically renewed when you arrive back and they will send you a new card to your new address after you provide that to them.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:51:10 +0000Times change, culture changes. It's less than 70 years ago that Thai peasant women went everywhere topless + sarong.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:50:59 +0000Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:50:53 +0000No, it's not! In almost every countries legal system, around the world, killing someone in legitimate self defense, is not classified as murder! Murder requires malice aforethought—the unlawful, intentional killing of a human being without legal justification. Self-defense is what the law calls a justification defense. If proven, it completely negates the "unlawful" element of the act, meaning no crime was committed.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:49:37 +0000The unredacted photograph, together with more details of the perpetrator. Judge for yourself. For those who may not be observant, take note of his CV, where he claims to be a Childcare Specialist.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:48:36 +0000Then why does a billionaire want more and more? 'More than enough' is not a reason for not wanting more. Stop blaming Ukraine for Russian aggression.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:47:58 +0000Good luck with insurance coverage and premiums when/if you hit 70-75 Most Thai people don't live that long due to motorcycle accidents while intoxicated. The average man lives to about 78. So you're talking about lack of insurance for the last 3-8 years of your life. Insurance is legalized gambling. The insurance companies make a profit. Which means on average they collect more premiums than they pay out in benefits. Insurance companies make money off healthy individuals but lose money off unhealthy or unlucky people. And they hire a whole bunch of data analysts to figure out the most expensive health benefits and then exclude those in the fine print. That's the way risk pool management works. Duh. 😜Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:47:46 +0000North Sentinel Island is a possibility.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:47:44 +0000TRUMP-is God sent to us-to save the world!Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:47:41 +0000Read carefully. 14 to 18 years, "child prostitution". That age wasn't even considered childhood not so long ago because in puberty boys are able to reproduce. The boys were probably consciously prostituting themselves, at least some of them. Although the monetary aspect is punished for different reasons, remember that the age of consent in Cambodia is 15, and even younger ones marry there locally (and receive money as presents from the local community at the day of their ceremony). So the initial feeling of disgust and the usual mob-like comments (get a rope etc) don't catch the hypocrisy surrounding that topic. Furthermore, you can be sure that some military leaders, politicians and other people in charge there do just the same and get away with it. Otherwise, statistically, you would have a significant number of high profile people in Cambodia accused of the same crime. Do you?Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:46:44 +0000Section 144.

From what I can tell, drugs are easy available in Thailand.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 02:45:46 +0000Can they not get it into their heads that nobody wants to hear this , people are absolutely sick and tired of meaningless drivel. "capped legal routes" "safe and legal pathways" "new frameworks" all ways of continuing the flow of immigrants when what is needed is to simply close the door and lock the gates. Then more worryingly words like "sponsorship" even more concerning when used alongside words like "trusted universities" "community groups" What the people of the UK would like to hear is that Universities, Community groups and businesses will be compelled to sponsor our own citizens , our own unemployed our own homeless and our own veterans. before even considering helping anybody else ' And when all of our own people are taken care of , which will never happen , then and only then will they be allowed to sponsor foreigners The new scheme will be capped "at a low level initially" yeah ? and then what? Meanwhile while they are all busying themselves with their new "framework" the number of undocumented military age single men arriving illegally will continue increasing , thousands upon thousand s of which will simply disappear, more and more women and girls raped . most will be a drain on the UK potentially forever It would be better if they just kept quiet rather than coming out with this rubbishMon, 29 Jun 2026 02:45:13 +0000The destruction of the uk under Labour seems to be continuing unabated.
