The facts presented are established and irrefutable.  It does have one weakness in that it does not acknowledge that the problems associated with foreigners have reached a level that required a response. The fact that the wrongdoing  has been long established  should not be used as an excuse to allow it to continue. However, he makes a reasonable conclusion.   Mr. Hart's rebuttal is short on facts and heavy on  "conspiracy".  He makes the conclusion that Thailand just wants foreigners to abide by their visa laws. Yes and no. Thailand also wants foreigners to accept the unfair practices and discrimination. He does make the valid point that too many foreigners have unreasonable demands and expectations. Unfortunately, his claim of a conspiracy involving the Thai Central Bank, the IMF and foreign financial interests  is not supported by  any factual evidence. His claim that Thailand's economic position is "fine" is not supported by the economic data. Thailand, like most other countries  is on the cusp of a financial adjustment.  He is lashing out at "Europeans" and "foreigners" without any  evidence and reciting the Thai canard of "colonialization".  He is not a  practicing attorney in Thailand and should perhaps stick to selling chicken wings, burgers and hotdogs at his Bangkok restaurant.  3rd Video is  a wham, bam, bye bye production that sends the Bangkok youtuber- restaurant owner packing. He says, exactly what I was thinking as I watched the video.</description><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 17:32:24 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Pattaya Guards Fight Tourist on Walking Street</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395549-pattaya-guards-fight-tourist-on-walking-street/?do=findComment&comment=20527329]]></link><description>Not when the Navy guys pulled in.

It's literally just another way to submit your TDAC. It's the same exact thing, it just stores some of the information if you don't want to enter your name and passport number etc.  The website will remain and you can submit a TDAC that way.  You can also submit a TDAC through the app.  They are both still TDAC, and they both still give you the same QR code as proof.</description><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 17:26:41 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Turkish Tourist Discovered Dead in his Phuket Residence</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395517-turkish-tourist-discovered-dead-in-his-phuket-residence/?do=findComment&comment=20527326]]></link><description>Do not buy or use powdery or rock substance drugs, it's just death waiting to happen with all the fentanyl being produced.

The mobile app is designed to replace paper forms and streamline the border entry process for international travelers, bringing registration time down to under three minutes. [1, 2, 3] Key Features and Benefits Digital Arrival/Departure Card: Completely eliminates the need for paper TM.6 forms. Travelers fill out their arrival details before landing. One-Time Registration: Uses AI-powered passport scanning to save your e-KYC profile, meaning you only need to update minimal information on subsequent trips. Group Applications: Families and travel groups can submit all travelers&#x2019; details together. Fast-Tracked Entry: Once you submit the digital form, immigration officers immediately see your registration on their end, making the physical passport check highly efficient. [1, 2, 3] Future "Super App" Updates Immigration authorities are rolling the app out in phases. Future planned updates to the platform will eventually allow long-term residents and expats to process their 90-day address reporting, book appointments, and apply for visa extensions digitally without needing to visit an immigration office in person. [1] Where to Download The app is entirely free and available to download on official app stores. Make sure you are downloading the official version developed by the Royal Thai Police: [1, 2] Download on the App Store Download on Google Play</description><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 17:16:41 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>50,000 Russian Jews leave Israel for Russia</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1394298-50000-russian-jews-leave-israel-for-russia/?do=findComment&comment=20527323]]></link><description>Fun or terror?

It's all ONE BIG CLUB ........  ( and still , years after my friend George (carlin) saying that ,  the only thing i have witnessed is the club getting bigger and badder)   i am definitely struggling .... trying to hold onto any positivity which the Trump team keep telling me to believe in .        As you yourself admit .... life for the plebes is getting less pleasant (financially..and i must say , from my trustworthy gut, LESS free as time marches on )  Personally , my life has actually improved due to "retiring"  from the stress of "getting ahead" , in the traditional sense, and then for the last 3 years focusing on correcting more than a few physical issues which crop up as the years go by . ( i have posted briefly on some, but not in depth because few , imo, are interested and in most cases just accept them and take the MEDS ) .     You are one who did try one of the "miracle" natural choices available ...  Most of the other changes i have experienced , however,  involve protocols and TIME to help alleviate ageing issues affecting so many ( the Main health forum here is full of them ) .  The internet searches  (google, and the other "alternatives" ..... are still captured !  with, if anything, more censorship then before) . Its ALGORYTHYMS .  Yep, the big boys make sure you get what they want you to .  It just ain't "getting better" mi amigo ..... not IMO.... but i still am in the "wait and see"  camp (barely) with you .    I just really wish you would step away from the intellectualizations and just feel what is "blowing in the wind" .      as i see it ...and am living it... the only winners in this technological prison , which is deep into changing the meanings of all i find sacred (life, liberty, the persuit of happiness...etc etc )   and as such they are creating a technological hell .  hey, but what do i know ................</description><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 17:03:41 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Flotilla Activists Allege Beatings And Taser Abuse By IDF</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395181-flotilla-activists-allege-beatings-and-taser-abuse-by-idf/?do=findComment&comment=20527316]]></link><description>In fact, that's all they're asking. So what's with Israel's siege mentality? Let them take their chances in Gaza and see what happens. It wouldn't even be antisemitism to see foreign activists slaughtered!  In fact such an outcome wouldn't touch Israel's sterling reputation at all (until the IDF picked off a few activists). If anything, it would show the world that one one in Gaza is safe from Hamas.

The reality is that catastrophic head injuries from unhelmeted riders cost billions in medical treatment, insurance payouts, lost productivity, emergency response and long-term care. Those costs are spread across society whether you personally approve of it or not. That is how every healthcare and insurance system on earth works.   You keep replying with &#x201C;it shouldn&#x2019;t be", while completely avoiding the fact that it IS.   And your attempt to separate helmet laws from drink-driving laws also collapses immediately. Drunk drivers absolutely do kill themselves as well as others &#x2014; yet society still regulates that behaviour because the consequences extend far beyond the individual.   This is basic public health economics, not ideology.   Thailand loses an estimated 6&#x2013;7% of GDP annually through road crash fatalities and serious injuries. That burden is carried by taxpayers, businesses, hospitals, insurers and families. So when you ask &#x201C;based on what?&#x201D; &#x2014; based on decades of global road safety data, healthcare economics and actuarial reality.   You are arguing with established economics, not with me.</description><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 16:59:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Flotilla Activists Allege Beatings And Taser Abuse By IDF</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395181-flotilla-activists-allege-beatings-and-taser-abuse-by-idf/?do=findComment&comment=20527312]]></link><description>According to reports and testimonies from passengers, this makeshift detention vessel was the INS Nahshon, which was built in the United States by Bollinger Mississippi Shipbuilding and financed under the US Foreign Military Financing program. Human rights organizations and detainees have alleged severe mistreatment and human rights violations occurred while activists were held on board this vessel.  It is a large logistics support and landing craft built in the United States, but it was specifically constructed for and is actively operated by the Israeli Navy.  Although the ship was built at Bollinger Shipyards in Mississippi and funded by US military aid, it is an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) vessel. Its design is heavily based on the General Frank S. Besson-class vessels used by the US Army, rather than the US Navy.  The Israeli Navy&#x2019;s amphibious landing ship INS Nahshon was not purchased directly by Israel; it was fully funded by the U.S. government under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program as part of a 2019 agreement. Because the vessel was acquired entirely via U.S. military aid, its exact sticker price remains undisclosed to the public.  Clear now? It was a free boat, a humanitarian donation by Israel's Uncle.</description><pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 16:58:32 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Flotilla Activists Allege Beatings And Taser Abuse By IDF</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395181-flotilla-activists-allege-beatings-and-taser-abuse-by-idf/?do=findComment&comment=20527311]]></link><description>No one believes Pallywood anymore .
