Banged up: Thai prison nightmare exposed by British tourist
Well that would send out a clear message on overstaying your visa But how many normal tourists would be aware of the penalties involved they would have their holiday and return to their country after enjoying their stay in Thailand -

UK Exodus of Millionaires Highlights Concerns Over Labour’s Tax Policies
No my problem is with neoliberalism and trickle down economics. In the post war period capitalism delivered consistent improvements in the life and welfare of working people, massively expanded the middle class and delivered consistent economic growth. All that came to an end in the late 1970s with the arrival of Neoliberalism and trickle down economics, deliver by Regan and Thatcher. Since then the welfare of working people has been on a consistent decline as the wealth and benefits built up in the post war period have been stripped out and handed to the hyper wealthy. Accelerating wealth distribution to the benefit of the rich and collapsing public services, withdrawn work place benefits for the majority and the growth of the precariat. Do no, I have no problem with capitalism, refer my remarks on its post war period version, I am however not blind to the consequences of neoliberalism and trickle down economics. For the record: Living standards are falling and life expectancy is falling dramatically in poor areas. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/uk-living-standards-fall-longest-60-years-records-began-economy-household-incomes-costs-energy-resolution-foundation-a8071146.html https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1056 -

Its So Nice to Have Transparency
Don is just happily signing orders and answering questions. He has been answering questions now for about 45 minutes, no teleprompter, off the cuff. As an American, its fabulous to see questions being answered. The age of corrupt silence is over! -

Passenger Shocked as Taxi Driver Found Dead in Pathum Thani
Picture courtesy: Siam Rath In a distressing incident on 20th January in Pathum Thani, a passenger boarded a taxi only to discover the driver had passed away inside the vehicle. The taxi, a traditional green-and-yellow model registered in Bangkok, was parked by a bus stop on Rangsit-Pathum Thani Road. The driver, identified as 67-year-old Mr Somnuk, was found lifeless in the driver’s seat. Local vendors reported that the taxi had been parked since before noon and several passengers attempted to board but left when the vehicle didn't move. When other taxis honked, urging the driver to move, he remained unresponsive. Concerned locals investigated and found the driver deceased, prompting a call to the authorities. Police, along with rescue workers, arrived at the scene. There were no signs of medical prescriptions in the vehicle, suggesting no known health conditions. Photos were taken for evidence, and the body was transported to Thammasat University Hospital for further examination. Authorities are coordinating with the driver’s family for funeral arrangements. -- 2025-01-21 -

Breaking immigration law is trivial at home, this is Thailand where it's not.
