Report Fed-Up Nottingham Dad Moves Family to Thailand for New Life
One thing that's clear from reading this thread - "Donnie Peverley" knows jack about the UK and the issues it has in recent times. Though he seems to think otherwise. I engaged with him on another thread about the issues surrounding mass and illegal immigration, an issue which has huge focus in recent years in the UK, following him waxing lyrical about the benefits of that and a population surge of circa 20% since the millennium. I also provided evidence from the OBR (Office for Budget Responsibility) - the UK government's own, independent economic statistics arm - when he asked me for figures quantifying the financial costs since he didn't believe what I was saying. These figures demonstrate that low skilled immigrants in financial terms alone cost the UK hundreds of thousands of pounds over their lifetime in the UK i.e. claiming more in transfer payments than they contribute. These are purely financial costs btw and don't account for all the social costs associated with housing shortages, strain on public services such as NHS, education and transport, social integration issues etc. His response to me - I should go move to Pattaya, associating that with a lack of education it seems 😄 You know someone's got nothing to offer if that's all they can respond with. Interestingly, I often notice Donnie advocating maintaining tight controls on who enters the Kingdom of Thailand. Indeed, and I fully agree. The difference in Thailand is those with long term visas in Thailand are financially stable and bring something to the table and the country isn't overrun. As for the subject of the OP, he seems to be trying to carve out something on TikTok and hopes that . He may or may not succeed. I suspect not - the market of travel and lifestyle bloggers is saturated. But it might make some side income with TEFL teaching or whatever. I think his kids will lose out from lack of formal education and home schooling won't work if mum and dad are busy trying to earn a living within the constraints of a visa. But I wish them luck. At least they are not sitting on their ar*e in the UK wanting to carve out a life on benefits, which is a way to easy option now. -

Report Huge Drug Bust: Malaysian Arrested at Thai Border with Meth
Picture courtesy of KhaoSod In a dramatic turn of events, a Malaysian national was apprehended at the Huai Kon border checkpoint in Nan province, attempting to smuggle a staggering 72 kilogrammes of crystal methamphetamine into Thailand. This haul is valued at over ฿90 million, marking a significant drug trafficking incident. The arrest occurred on 14 July when customs officials at the Thung Chang checkpoint grew suspicious of a vehicle emitting copious black smoke. The Lexus, with registration WA 3313 Y from Malaysia, was driven by Surrenthiran Jayabalan. Upon being approached, Jayabalan claimed his car malfunctioned after refuelling with the incorrect petrol in Mueang Ngeun, Laos. Seeking aid at the checkpoint, he bizarrely refused to hand over the keys, arguing the vehicle was locked and needed towing. This refusal, coupled with his frequent border crossings, prompted officials to thoroughly search the vehicle. During the inspection, authorities uncovered methamphetamine ingeniously packed in green tea bags beneath the seats. Further investigation revealed additional narcotics stashed in the spare tyre compartment and underneath the rear seats, culminating in a total discovery of 72 kilogrammes. The vehicle, a rental from Malaysia, had made numerous border transits since April, typically returning on the same day with different individuals behind the wheel. Investigations showed the Lexus entering Thailand via the Sadao checkpoint in Songkhla on 11 July, and then crossing into Laos through the Huai Kon checkpoint. A Malaysian man and a Thai woman accompanied Jayabalan in a separate car, but their current location is unknown. Nan's governor, Chainarong Wongyai, remarked this incident is unprecedented for a foreign national at this border. He noted that drug trafficking routes have shifted from the tightly-secured Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai to Nan and Loei provinces, where comparative lack of resources presents challenges. This event underscores Nan's role as a potential transit point for drugs headed to third countries. Authorities are now determined to tighten security and implement new strategies to thwart future smuggling attempts. As the province grapples with this escalating threat, enhancing border security is becoming a pressing priority. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-16 -
