Any update on Paxlovid availability for foreigners in Bangkok?
Paxlovid indeed is meant for these cases. Sometimes. The others not hospitalized might not realized to be infected. No magic. -

Starlink Complies with Brazil's Court Order to Block X After Initial Defiance
Every time a government takes away someones rights there are always those who side with them - I think the term is "useful idiots". I presume if you think that speech needs to be heavily regulated you would be able to come up with at least one example in history where this has worked out well for the citizens of the regimes where this was imposed on them? -

UK Considers Sending Prisoners to Estonia to Ease Overcrowding Crisis
UK has about 10k foreign nationals in prison out of 95k. It would make more sense to send all these criminals back home. Most are from Albania, Poland and of course, Nigeria and Pakistan. -

RfK Jr. scored a pair of legal victories Friday in the battleground states of NC & Michigan
I'm not sure I'd call these "wins" or "victories"? He pushed hard to get on the ballot(s), then pushed hard to get off them. More indicative of his inability to stick to a plan. Surprising that he flip-flopped? No. Brain worms at work. -

Drug-Crazed Man Dies After Being Beaten by Mob Following Tractor Theft in Bangkok
Picture courtesy of Thai Rath. In the early hours of September 7th, chaos unfolded in the heart of Bangkok when a man in his 40s to 50s, allegedly high on drugs, stole a tractor (locally known as an “e-taek”) and led a wild pursuit through the city. The incident, which began near the Makkasan railway site, ended tragically after the suspect was apprehended and beaten by an angry mob. The drama started around 00:40, when Pol. L/Cpl. Prommin Ritchaisong, a patrol officer from Pathumwan Police Station, was off duty and heading back to his residence in Makkasan. As he passed the Siam Hotel on Phetchaburi Road, he encountered a group of local residents chasing an erratically driving tractor. The residents informed him that the suspect had stolen the vehicle from a construction site and was driving dangerously under the influence of drugs. Without hesitation, Prommin joined the pursuit on his motorcycle, attempting to signal the man to stop. Despite his warnings, the suspect sped up, weaving dangerously across the road. The pursuit intensified as they neared the Saen Saeb canal bridge, where Prommin, seeing an opportunity, fired two shots at the tractor's rear tire, causing it to lose control. Even with a blown tire, the suspect continued driving recklessly, standing and dancing erratically on the vehicle as he drove. A crowd of more than 10 locals, both in cars and on motorcycles, followed closely behind. The chase continued to Khlong Tan intersection, where the tractor lost further control, veering onto the median near the Airport Rail Link station on Ramkhamhaeng Road. Despite the vehicle's damage, the man attempted to flee on foot, running in the opposite direction of traffic. He was soon caught by a furious group of locals, who surrounded him and severely beat him. Pol. L/Cpl. Prommin arrived moments later, handcuffing the unconscious man and calling for medical assistance. The suspect was rushed to Panya Hospital, but doctors later pronounced him dead at 01:35 due to severe injuries from the mob beating. A search of the tractor revealed nine methamphetamine pills and a small amount of crystal meth, but no identification documents were found. Authorities have yet to identify the deceased, as no family members have come forward, and no one has claimed ownership of the stolen tractor. Lt. Damrongsak Jaisawang, the deputy investigation officer from Hua Mak Police Station, confirmed that the body has been sent to the Police General Hospital for a detailed autopsy. The incident has raised concerns over mob justice, with the police now focusing on identifying the individuals involved in the beating. CCTV footage will be reviewed to track down the participants. -- 2024-09-08 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Schengen Visa Question
Thanks, so for Spain, I cannot act as a sponsor, even though my families name will be on all the bookings, but other Schengen countries I can?. Is there a definitive list of which countries accept sponsors?. Have any other posters experienced any non sponsor countries?
