Report Thailand Bets on Medical Tourism to Revive Economy
It's very annoying that they insist on a family member present all the time in your hospital room. I had an eye operation at Rutnin and they insisted on that, even for my previous two eye ops they didn't. Mrs Dog was pregnant at the time and I obviously couldn't ask her to do the nursing job in the hospital. I said I was fine the previous two times and had no one to stay with me. So they made me pay for someone to stay in my room. They offered a nurse or someone unqualified at half the price which was the offer I took. It turned about to be one of the cleaners who had just come off an obviously heavy work shift because she stank like a pole cat. I offered her to use the bathroom to take a shower but she declined - probably thought I was being forward, even though she looked like the back end of a bus. So every time I woke up with the pain in my eye I was greeted by a foul stench from the sofa. -

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/zelenskys-corruption-crackdown-is-a-disaster/ It's worse than you can imagine - well not to us that did of course. Perhaps more seriously, Zelensky seems to have badly misread the room in terms of the impact on his backers in the West. International anti-corruption bodies, Ukrainian civil society groups, the independent Ukrainian press and Western diplomats have all been warning Zelensky that passing this law could jeopardise Ukraine’s EU accession process, cancel its visa-free regime, and even trigger EU sanctions against Ukraine. But he went ahead and did it anyway. In the wake of the Rada vote, Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Action Centre published a mock up of a Time Magazine cover featuring Zelensky – but with half his face covered by that of Viktor Yanukovych, his corrupt predecessor. Yanukovych’s wholesale plundering of the state was one of the main triggers of the 2014 Maidan revolution. Just a year ago, any equivalence between Zelensky and Yanukovych would have seemed absurd. Today, many of those making exactly that grim comparison were once Zelensky’s most passionate supporters. -

Video Bangkok Airport Chaos: Aussies Fume Over Qantas Passport Demand
Screenshots from @ ramyatheaussie TikTok video A group of Australian travellers found themselves in a bind at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport after their Qantas flight to Sydney was suddenly cancelled. Initially delayed for six hours, the flight was called off late Monday night, July 21, leaving passengers uncertain and weary. Amid the confusion, a video surfaced showing a cardboard box on the terminal floor, filled with Australian passports. Stranded passengers surrounded it, while airport staff completed paperwork similarly seated on the ground. Adding to their woes, passengers said they were required to surrender their passports to leave the airport for hotel accommodation arranged by Qantas. The unusual request sparked alarm online, with many questioning its validity. A Qantas spokesperson clarified, "Local border authorities require passengers’ passports during significant delays as part of immigration regulations." Qantas stressed that this demand wasn’t part of their usual policy, but rather a necessity imposed by Thai immigration. The situation ignited a flurry of incredulous reactions on social media. "Is it normal to take away your passports? Never heard of such a thing!" exclaimed one user. Another added, "I would never let them take my passport; that's not standard practice." Qantas has since apologised for the turmoil. "We sincerely apologise for the disruption and understand the inconvenience caused," the spokesperson said. The airline assured all passengers have now safely arrived in Sydney, offering some relief. Despite the resolution, the incident has left many uneasy and questioning the rules that led to this scenario. The viral footage remains a talking point, casting a spotlight on airport protocols during unexpected delays. Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Bangkok International Airport for additional comment on the matter, as travellers and observers alike seek further clarity. In the world of aviation travel, where every minute counts and passport security is paramount, this incident raises important questions about balancing procedure and passenger peace of mind.
