If you need a 60-day visa exemption and qualify for one then I defo reccomend the Wang Prachang Border in Satun.  No questions asked, and a very swift and smooth process for a 2000 baht fee.

And if you look at the general news now, the tide has turned, they are now calling the 1.5 million (and growing) youngsters between 16 to 25 lazy, the ones who are not in education, not seeking a job, or working and are supported by welfare, that is their next real target.     There is a simple solution to that, go back to the UK for a month or so, phone up the DWP and state you have now moved back to the UK, you pension will be bumped up to the current pension rate forever.  Then come back to Thailand, and after three months write to the DWP and tell them you have been on extended travel for the last thee months, you will still be paid the current pension rate at that time forever, until you go back and do the same thing again in a few years time where it will be increased again.   What I want to know is why do so many older people think it is normal to sit around moaning at the world, don't they realise their time on this earth is now limited and they should make the best use of it ?</description><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 09:21:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Police Probe Grenade Found Outside Bank in Bangkok</title><link>https://aseannow.com/thailand-news/police-probe-grenade-found-outside-bank-in-bangkok-r2133/</link><description>Police and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) officers responded to reports of a suspected explosive device found outside a bank branch in the Bang Khun Non area of Bangkok on the morning of 2 June 2026. The discovery prompted authorities to cordon off the area and prevent members of the public from approaching while specialists assessed and removed the object.  Get today's headlines by email   According to Bang Khun Non Police Station, officers received a report at approximately 7.30am that a suspicious object resembling an explosive device had been found outside a bank branch on Bang Khun Non Road in Bang Khun Non subdistrict, Bangkok Noi district. Police attended the scene with EOD personnel to investigate.  At the location, officers found what was identified as an MK 2 grenade placed among rubbish beside the roadside. Initial enquiries indicated that refuse collectors were carrying out their routine work in the area when they noticed the object mixed in with waste.  Workers reportedly examined the item and discovered it appeared to be a grenade. Alarmed by the find, they immediately notified police, who established a safety perimeter around the site while awaiting the arrival of EOD specialists.   Picture courtesy of Khaosod  A security guard at the bank told investigators that the area where the grenade was found is commonly used as a rubbish collection point before waste is sorted and removed each morning. The guard said that upon arriving for work, they saw officers had already cordoned off the area and were restricting access to the public.  EOD officers subsequently removed the grenade from the scene. The operation began after the discovery at around 7.30am and was completed at approximately 9.00am.  The discovery has prompted an investigation by detectives from Bang Khun Non Police Station. Officers are reviewing CCTV footage from nearby locations to identify the person responsible for leaving the grenade at the site.  Khaosod reported that police believe the grenade may have been discarded by someone seeking to avoid legal consequences. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to establish how the explosive came to be left among the rubbish and who was responsible.

It seemed incorrect to me. I felt obliged to query it because that website said it was reviewed in Feb 2026. The same statement appeared on another website "university.heavnn.io" . On that particular website there was a facility to send them a message so I queried their statement last week. No reply yet. It was a link on that website that led me to the PWC website. That link has mysteriously stopped working. It seems to me that one website wrote the article and another copied it. Perhaps the message got through although the statement is still there on both websites.</description><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 09:20:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Sikh Killer&#x2019;s Racist Lie Left Dying Student In Handcuffs</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395890-sikh-killers-racist-lie-left-dying-student-in-handcuffs/?do=findComment&comment=20533858]]></link><description>Of course, race-baiting occurs in the closed-minded, even here in an expat forum.
