Crime British Fugitives Arrested for Robbery & Fraud, Linked to Nominee Businesses on Koh Samui
I admit I got a soft spot for Britains and UK. I'm well known for that. But WHY honestly are there so many crazy, mad, criminal Brits in Thailand? There are other similar huge groups here...Germans eg (not known to be too polite?).....but the Brits top it all. Any ideas??😳 -

What happens with money in the bank when the farang dies?
Are there any steps that one needs to take to ensure that the wife gets the money in the bank (e.g., the 400k or 800k financial requirements for visa), in case of husband's death? -

Without our smartphones, where would we be in 2025?
Well, we might be lost, literally. Without intent digital micro-maps in our pockets, travel would suddenly require more planning. Good, or bad? Personal finance would also slow down. No more instant digital payments or transferring money in seconds. Access to information would feel like going from the Autobahn to a traffic packed soi. We’d need to think, ask, remember, and not know things right away. How novel. And what about the form of our lives? We wouldn’t be glued to curated feeds and algorithmic chosen drivel. Social media would still exist, but only on computers, not a 24-hour drip. The need for some people to perform constantly, feed the machine, to compare, to doom scroll for validation or outrage, that would be gone. Lovely idea. Conversations might return to being natural, unshared, and unfiltered. Friendships could grow again in the absence of likes and shares, measured again by time spent together rather than digital pings. And what about news? The world would still be on fire, but maybe we wouldn’t be forced to watch it burn in real time. The doom cycle, the fear economy of headlines and push notifications, could lose some of its grip. Brilliant! We might read the paper again, watch the news occasionally, and then go about our lives, instead of being caught in an endless scroll of outrage, anxiety, and distraction. Would we feel less informed, or simply less bombarded? And the final question: what would we do with all that free time? Without the quick dopamine squirts and constant mental clutter, would we write more, talk more, think more? We could suddenly meet up with people more often again and maybe we’d get bored enough to become more interesting people again. Yeah, we’d lose a few things. But maybe we’d find a few things too. A different kinds of connection. A slower rhythm. A version of ourselves with a little more space to breathe.
