Report Thailand to Verify 700,000 Foreigner-Registered Phone Numbers for Mobile Banking Use
I was in the same.position as you UNTIL BBL mobile App suddenly would not work on my "old" phone operating system. It now requires android 10 or above. (Yes, can buy a new phone!) ** had been using this mobile number for about 15yrs, so known to many people and agencies (Immigration ,hospitals, airlines etc) So, in the interim , I decided to 'install' BBL Internet banking (iBanking) and use that..... The sim card /billing was all still in my wife's name. So very nice BBL staff pointed.out that due to the new law, the sim card (and same number) must be in my name (as per my bank acc) or no go with the mobile app OR ibanking ! I did ask,pointlessly, why I had not recieved any notification to this effect from the bank? Shrugged shoulders ! Luckily AIS shop is opposite this BBL Branch in Future Park. So over I go. After a long time they came up with a plan to clear any outstanding bill to that date, and pay them B100. BUT, then the new bill would not show my name until the next billing cycle! Finally it was agreed.that they (AIS)would issue the B100 receipt in my name and showing the original mobile sim card number. Back over to BBL (no new queue number or waiting) who were satisfied and corrected their records and set up the ibanking! All in all about 4hrs+ to complete. Be warned!!! -

Foreign Instagrammer Sparks Outrage by Illegally Scaling Bangkok's Ghost Tower
Photo via Instagram/ @ryan_rrobertson In recent events, an Instagram user known as @ryan_rrobertson has stirred quite the commotion after sharing footage of himself and a friend climbing the infamous Sathorn Unique Tower—often referred to as Bangkok’s ghost tower. The duo's trespass into the abandoned skyscraper in Bangkok’s Sathorn neighbourhood has sparked outrage among both Thai and international audiences online. The Sathorn Unique Tower, an unfinished high-rise, is renowned not just for its breathtaking views of the Chao Phraya River and the city skyline, but also its eerie history, compounded by the grim discovery of a deceased Swedish man in 2014. Its haunting reputation hasn’t deterred thrill-seekers like Robertson, who claimed, "POV: You’re the first person to climb Bangkok’s Ghost Tower in 5+ years..." Using a metal-cutting tool to break through the locked entrance, Robertson and his friend scaled the deserted structure to capture dramatic views from the roof, which they shared on social media. The video accumulated nearly 1,000 likes, although the majority of comments sharply rebuked their actions for breaking laws and ignoring safety protocols. Critics slammed their assertion of being the first climbers in five years, with many users asserting their own recent visits or sharing other creators’ content as evidence. Despite the uproar, official attention from Thai authorities or the building's owner, Rangsan Torsuwan, remains absent. The ghost tower incident comes shortly after renewed interest in the property, following an erroneous claim of its sale by a supposed real estate agent. Rangsan’s son quickly refuted the claim, citing ongoing legal battles that prevent any legitimate transaction. As the story unfolds, Robertson’s unauthorised exploration raises familiar issues about legal boundaries and ethical responsibility in urban adventuring.

How scared should we be of Trump's authoritarian tendencies?
You cant provide proof because there isn't any that support any large quantity. Maybe 1 or 2 comments that were vague. My days are always nice but thanks anyway -

Report Abandoned Abroad: British Pensioner in Thailand Slams 'Immoral' Frozen Pensions Policy
This is such an ill informed, inaccurate and unsupported statement, full of preconceived ideas and written without any evidence to support it … apart from all that, it isn’t very helpful !! -
