Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
They always refer to the existence of some mythical "reciprocal agreement" between various countries as the reason for this. What possible "reciprocal agreement" could there be that affects people's pensions in this way ? What possible justification can there possibly be for the difference between those living in the Philippines and those in Thailand? I cannot see the point in any so called reciprocal agreement its not as if the country one lives in makes any contribution to ones pension Can anyone explain this? -

BREAKING NEWS IRAN ATTACKS ISRAEL
Iran clearly hasn't learnt from Palestine what happens when you attack Israel. I feel sorry for their citizens, because Israel will now rightly defend itself with extreme prejudice and it won't end well for Iran. Get your wallet out again Joe. The iron is hot. -

Thai Military to Withdraw from South, Volunteers to Step In by 2027
The Ministry of Interior and the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc) have announced plans to withdraw military forces from Thailand's southernmost provinces by 2027, transitioning the responsibility for public safety to local volunteer forces. In a recent ceremony, Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Army Commander Charoenchai Hintao signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at bolstering local volunteer forces through joint training initiatives. This strategic collaboration is designed to ease the military’s workload while ensuring continued public safety. "The MoU signifies strengthened cooperation between the Ministry of Interior and Isoc. The volunteer forces, who are local residents, inherently understand their communities and will undergo additional training to better manage public order and safety," Minister Anutin stated. "We have observed steady progress during multiple visits and are confident that the volunteer forces will be adequately prepared to fulfill their duties by 2027," he added. General Charoenchai highlighted that the operational framework in the southern border provinces has always been a collaborative effort among civilians, the police, and the military under Isoc's guidance. By 2027, control is expected to transition to the Department of Provincial Administration, alongside volunteer forces and police. However, he cautioned that the government might reassess the plan if the security situation does not improve. "The volunteers already possess a strong foundation, but to ensure seamless cooperation, joint training exercises are necessary," Gen Charoenchai explained. "These volunteers will be crucial for the government in maintaining public safety and providing necessary support," he emphasized. An official announcement, signed by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and published in the Royal Gazette on September 25, stated that due to the prevailing security concerns in the southern region, the enforcement of the Internal Security Act will be extended in 19 districts across four provinces from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. The districts affected include Yi-ngo, Sungai Kolok, Waeng, and Sukhirin in Narathiwat; Yaring, Panare, Mayo, Mai Kaen, Thung Yang Daeng, Kapho, and Mae Laen in Pattani; Betong, Raman, Kabang, and Krong Pinang in Yala; and Na Thawi, Chana, Thepha, and Saba Yoi in Songkhla, reported Bangkok Post. As this transition unfolds, the Ministry of Interior and Isoc remain committed to ensuring that volunteer forces are thoroughly prepared to take on their new roles, ensuring a continued emphasis on public safety and community security in southern Thailand.

Thai woman missing in Bang Yai, Nonthaburi, last seen in taxi
I sincerely hope they find her and that she is ok. However, more and more stories of abductions and murder are pointing against that. Let´s all hope this one turns out with a happy, or at least person alive result. -
