Under the draft of the new regulations, individuals entering Thailand for a third time within a calendar year after using their two full-stay privileges would be denied entry immediately, unless they are from exempted countries such as Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Singapore. A full stay privilege is 30 day VE + 30 day extension x 2 = 120 days per calendar year. You can enter VE 4 times a calendar year for 30 days per stay, or 8 times per year for 14 day stays. It's the number of days staying as a tourist they're limiting, not the number of VE entries.</description><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 16:16:18 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Foreigners pose with Phuket sea turtle, raising online debate</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395345-foreigners-pose-with-phuket-sea-turtle-raising-online-debate/?do=findComment&comment=20522929]]></link><description>Sure, it is but that regards totally different things.  In short this is what it&#xB4;s about:  Law protecting turtles in Thailand In Thailand, the Wild Animal Reservation and Protection Act (WARPA) is a key legal framework that protects various wildlife, including turtles. This act empowers the Department of Fisheries to protect animals and their products listed for preservation and protection, which includes endangered species such as marine mammals, turtles, coral, and seashells. The act aims to prevent the illegal trade and exploitation of these species, ensuring their conservation and protection.  The Wildlife Reservation and Protection Act also requires any person intending to carry conserved wild animals, protected wild animals, or their products to notify the competent official at a wild animal checkpoint. This regulation is part of Thailand's commitment to legalizing the trade in CITES-listed species and ensuring that no illegal activities related to wildlife conservation occur.  Thailand's legal framework is crucial in protecting turtles and other wildlife from illegal activities and ensuring their survival in the wild. The act's enforcement and the support of various government agencies play a significant role in maintaining the integrity of Thailand's marine resources and environments.   If you wish the full English version of the act, you got it here. https://faolex.fao.org/docs/pdf/tha201932.pdf - There you go! :-)</description><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 16:12:32 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Are Single Men In Thailand Much Better Off Financially?</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395139-are-single-men-in-thailand-much-better-off-financially/?do=findComment&comment=20522928]]></link><description>Of course. It's just common sense as supporting any woman, from any walk of life is an expensive proposition. Some of us would say it is worth it some obviously don't feel that way.   I always say having a woman increases your expenses by about 130%, not double. When you factor in all the extras such as moisturizers, face creams and everything else that's involved, including the fact that you're likely ordering food at restaurants that you wouldn't normally order yourself, you have that additional 30% premium on top of doubling your expenses.</description><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 16:03:12 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>White House tells Pompeo to 'shut his stupid mouth' on Iran</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395279-white-house-tells-pompeo-to-shut-his-stupid-mouth-on-iran/?do=findComment&comment=20522927]]></link><description>Truth spoken to toxic power can be a terrible thing if you're the recipient of that truth.

I've never been in a 7-Eleven and gotten grief from the staff so one has to presume that this guy made a big deal about a very low cost drink. So that is the ultimate example of causing your own problems in life, and inflicting them upon others. What a goon.   Thailand does indeed seem to be attracting quite a few lowlifes these days and for some reason they seem to be concentrated in the Pattaya area.

Drummond replies that Adam Howell, the investor, who claimed he was defrauded out of US$460,000 was privy to lots of information, confidentiual memos to investors, messenger posts and voice mails from Flowers to him, which were often AI ladyboy porn and racist themes, the handing out of virgins and women too young to be employed in his bars to investors and senior staff, and hour by hour updates on what happened when his Flirt bar was raided by ATIP Police, how he had been forwarned by the local police that the raid was imminent and the girl in question was removed from the bar. Hence the statement in his Pattaya News 'no underaged girl was found in the bar. Ths is also included evidence to various activities Drummond cannot talk about.  Whether a British sex bar boss in Pattaya had cheated an investor was not a story, certainly not in the U.K. This happens all the time in Pattaya. But how a large British sex business operated in Thailand is.  Incidentally Howell went to police with this material, and also to the Department of Special Investigations. He also complained to local police about being scammed in a crypto launch by a senior executive of the Night Wish operation. Dummond has obtained copies of this statement. It was all written in Thai of course by a policeman who accompanied Howell to the police station. The statement does not name the local perpetratror, only his friend who had moved to India!  Double check Froggy you are being delusional.  (copyright licence granted. Howell at DSI  Other documents, which Drummond cannot talk about, have been passed to Thai TICAC police and the British National Crime Agency. Drummond has not, as Howell claims, complained to the Thai government. All these documents including an uninterrupted 6 year long Facebook Messenger dialogue with Howell should be released to the public to show how sleazy this operation was.. Drummond agrees all this stuff should be in court, but this is Thailand and you clearly dont understand how tyhe country works . This thread also shows how your man asked Howell to take part in internet smear campaigns against rivals in Pattaya, and the Exodus Road anti-sex-trafficking ngo. The current smear campaign against Drummond is just the latest.  Further while attempting to sue, Flowers invented copyright on a lot of the material and made numerous DMCA complaints. By claiming the copyright he was admitting to his own utterances. These showed how he paid 1l.5 million baht down to 'corrupt police' in the Flirt bar case. He may have been lying, obviously he wanted the investors to pay, What do you think?  Flowers has tried to sue but failed. The law firm does not want anything to do with him. He has misused their name. Currently his attack pages are constructed under the guidance of a supposed British law company. That company does not exist.  You are right it should be in court. Even if he could sue before he cannot sue now - not with all that rubbish he has put on the net. Smear campaigns are what people do now if they can't go through the courts.  PS Drummond does not go for clicks. His website is just there so people can be aware of people who may wish to do them harm. His site ha never been monetised. He will not accept ads etc.  Are you sure you wish to continue?</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_05/AdamHowellDSIa.jpeg.8cd843d3914a031803c3dd18828947b8.jpeg" length="129138" type="image/jpeg"/><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 15:34:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Ben-Gvir fury exposes the hard-line face of modern Israel</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395154-ben-gvir-fury-exposes-the-hard-line-face-of-modern-israel/?do=findComment&comment=20522912]]></link><description>They have all been addressed numerous times .
