Mass Arrests Follow Violent Far-Right Demonstrations Across the UK
As you do not understand, it is best that you first educate yourself on the incident. Alberta is a province, not a state. Mr. Robinson did not lie on his visa application and was in the country legally. Mr. Robinson was arrested at the request of the Canada Border Services Agency on the basis that there was a discrepancy between his declared criminal record and the information provided on his travel authorization application to enter Canada. The discrepancy was in fact an "after the fact" subjective reading of the declaration. Mr. Robinson's criminal record had already been reviewed prior to his arrival which is how he had received the travel authorization in the first place. He attended a review and was immediately cleared and allowed to continue on his speaking tour. It is believed that the detention was politically motivated by the federal Liberal government. The political motivation opinion is supported because the CBSA had not acted in this manner previously, and the review found that the declaration had been truthful and the authorization appropriately issued. -

Tourist injured in Chumphon resort balcony collapse
A man sustained serious injuries after the balcony he was on collapsed at a resort in Chumphon, leading to concerns about unlicensed accommodation and unresponsive local police. Only the local tourist police offered effective help. On July 27, Yanisa, a 46 year old woman from Phetchaburi, and her husband, 44 year old Piyapol, along with friends, were staying at a resort in Pathio District, Chumphon. The resort featured a balcony extending towards the sea, which was a popular spot for guests to relax and take photos. In the evening, while taking photos, the balcony suddenly collapsed from a height of 3 to 4 metres, injuring three people. Piyapol was among the injured, suffering a broken arm, fractured jaw, cracked skull, broken nasal structure, and severe facial lacerations requiring multiple stitches. He was immediately taken to Pathio Hospital for treatment. Janisa reported that no police officers arrived at the scene on the day of the incident. The resort owner quickly refunded their accommodation costs and visited them once, promising to cover all hospital expenses. However, apart from a bottle of milk and a meal, no further assistance was provided. When Yanisa requested the resort owner to officially acknowledge the incident at the Pathio Police Station, she was told it was unnecessary as verbal agreements were sufficient. The owner asked for a settlement amount, to which Yanisa suggested 70,000 baht (US$2,000), but no agreement was reached. The resort owner claimed to have connections with local police and hospital staff, which made Yanisa feel unsafe. Yanisa sought help from the tourist police, who tried to mediate by contacting the resort owner, but their calls were ignored. Later, the resort owner claimed to be threatened by the police, which Yanisa denied as no calls were answered. Balcony collapse The Tourist Police accompanied Yanisa to the Pathio Police Station to file a report and seek mediation. However, the local police showed no interest in assisting them. A local officer privately spoke with the Tourist Police and then refused to help Yanisa, suggesting she hire a lawyer. The officer also stated that only the injured party, not the spouse, could file a complaint, and even then, the resort owner could not be forced to participate in mediation. Subsequently, the Chumphon tourist police checked the resort’s licence under the Hotel Act of 2004 but found it was operating without one. They filed a complaint against the resort owner for running an unlicensed hotel and discovered that the balcony’s structural defects caused the accident, reported KhaoSod. Yanisa expressed her unease due to the resort owner’s claims of knowing police and hospital staff and feeling unsafe as a tourist. She decided to move her husband to a hospital in Phetchaburi for further treatment, despite being satisfied with the care at Chumphon Hospital, as she couldn’t determine who might be influenced by the resort owner. She thanked the Chumphon and Ranong tourist police for their invaluable assistance. by Bob Scott Picture courtesy of Siamrath Source: The Thaiger 2024-08-05 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

Foreign fortune-teller harasses Thai women for money
A foreign fortune-teller has been making a nuisance of himself, persistently approaching Thai women to offer dubious fortune-telling services in exchange for money. The incidents have been reported around Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat in Bang Si Mueang, Nonthaburi. Panjarat Limthongcharoen, the 30 year old owner of the Kumati smoothie shop, shared her unsettling experience. Yesterday, August 3, while she was at her shop with her younger brother, a tall man of foreign descent, resembling an Indian national, walked in around 1.40pm. He approached Panjarat, handed her an envelope requesting 199 baht (US$5.6), and claimed he would tell her fortune. He incorrectly predicted that she would have two lovers simultaneously, mistaking her brother for one of them. This inaccurate and intrusive fortune-telling left Panjarat feeling deeply uncomfortable. “I have a boyfriend and have never been unfaithful. To suggest otherwise, especially by mistaking my brother for a lover, was very upsetting,” Panjarat said, recounting her irritation. She refused the fortune-telling service, prompting the man to insist she give him her hand for a palm reading. When she declined again, he began accusing her of being dishonest and a bad person. Feeling increasingly threatened, Panjarat eventually gave him 20 baht to leave, but he reacted with visible displeasure, continuing to berate her until she forced him out of the shop. Following this incident, Panjarat observed the man entering a nearby shop selling religious items, as well as approaching people parking their motorcycles on the street. He persistently offered his services, only to be repeatedly turned down. Panjarat took to social media to share her experience, and several others came forward, recounting similar encounters where they had been pressured into paying significant amounts for his services, reported KhaoSod. One concerned individual remarked, “I was duped into paying thousands for a ritual to ward off bad luck. Fortunately, Panjarat realised something was off when he mistook her brother for a lover. Panjarat expressed relief that her brother was present during the incident, fearing what might have happened had she been alone. She firmly believes that the fortune-teller harbours malicious intentions. by Bright Choomanee Picture courtesy of ch3plus Source: The Thaiger 2024-08-05 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

Russian National Arrested in Hua Hin with Major Drug Seizure
All drugs including cannabis should be forbidden in Thailand as soon as possible! . Drugs attract “franky” scumbags from all over the world as well as drug dealers from Mexican cartels to Thailand . And narcotics have very negative impact on Thai culture and Thai youth. -
