Canadian Embassy to discontinue income affidavit notary service April 1st, 2025
As far as I know, the embassy's affidavit was ONLY confirming the signature of the declarant. At least, that was what the Belgian Embassy was doing. Not the claim in itself. -

British Tourist Arrested at Phuket Airport for Cocaine Possession
Picture courtesy: The Phuket Express A British tourist's holiday in Phuket took an unexpected turn when he was arrested at Phuket International Airport for allegedly smuggling cocaine into the country. On the evening of February 18th, the local immigration authorities apprehended a 42-year-old British national during standard customs inspections in the international arrivals hall. In his possession, they discovered 4.11 grams of a substance identified as cocaine. This seemingly small quantity has catapulted the tourist into a legal quagmire, underlining Thailand’s stringent drug laws, which are among the toughest in the region. Authorities have confirmed that the man was promptly taken to the Sakoo Police Station for further proceedings. The charges he now faces are quite serious: illegal possession of a category 2 narcotic and the importation of illegal substances into Thailand. Thai law categorically forbids the possession and trafficking of such drugs, often resulting in severe penalties, including significant fines and potentially lengthy imprisonment. Monetary fines for drug possession start at around 37,000 Thai Baht and can soar depending on the case specifics. While the immigration department remains tight-lipped about further details concerning the identity of the suspect or the exact circumstances leading to his arrest, it serves as a stark reminder of the delicate balance tourists must maintain while in a foreign land. The British national, whose name remains withheld pending a formal investigation, has yet to make any public statements regarding the incident, reported The Phuket Express. -- 2025-02-20 -

Bangkok Joins Beijing in Landmark Air Pollution Solution Pact
File photo In a major environmental development, Bangkok and Beijing have joined hands to combat air pollution, cementing their partnership with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that promises a new era in air quality management for Thailand’s bustling capital. The agreement, which was formalised via a digital handshake between the leaders of the Beijing Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s Environment Department, is a beacon of hope for a city grappling with escalating smog issues. This pivotal collaboration, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Thailand and China, positions Bangkok to leverage the successful air pollution combat strategies pioneered by Beijing. Known for its own battle with dense, life-threatening smog, Beijing has managed a remarkable turnaround in its air quality standards, which it now seeks to share with Bangkok as part of this landmark initiative. The core of the partnership rests on Beijing’s proven methodologies for reducing PM2.5 levels—these microscopic particles are a significant health hazard, causing respiratory problems and other severe conditions. Over the next three years, Bangkok will benefit from a comprehensive transfer of knowledge, focusing on pollution monitoring enhancement and ambitious reduction strategies that have already transformed Beijing's skyline from grey to clear. Once a city shrouded in haze, Beijing's strict enforcement of emission reductions and its strategic overhaul of industrial operations have led to a commendable improvement in air quality. The Chinese capital achieved a PM2.5 concentration of 30.5 microgrammes per cubic metre last year, consistently meeting national air quality standards for four consecutive years—an outcome of nearly a decade of rigorous efforts, which halved multiple pollutants. This collaboration isn’t just a top-down initiative. It integrates practical exchanges, training, and pilot project implementations in Bangkok, as noted by Chinese media. Importantly, it embraces a holistic approach, extending beyond technology transfer to actual fieldwork, ensuring that the measures adopted are not just theoretical. Against the backdrop of deteriorating air quality, Bangkok officials anticipate that these shared insights will expedite efforts to turn the tide on pollution, achieving tangible results sooner rather than later. Excitingly, Bangkok's governor, Chadchart Sittipunt, is concurrently spearheading a local campaign to curb pollution by addressing farming practices. This initiative aims to minimise the burning of rice fields, a significant contributor to PM2.5, achieving remarkable early success by reducing the burned area massively over the last few years. For the citizens of Bangkok, this collaboration represents more than a diplomatic move—it’s a promise of cleaner air and healthier living conditions, illustrating what cross-border cooperation can truly achieve, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-20
