Increase in food poisoning in 2023 to 2024 - supporting statistics?
I doubt if it would change the rate - antibiotics are not used in every case and only some of the bacteria would be "superbugs" - this would lead to a "tip of the iceberg" situation of increased hospitalisations and majot =r insurance claims..As pointed out about they may not even be food poisoning" - a rather vague term - it could be other forms of gastroenteritis. -

DTV or retirement visa ?
I am married, been here forever and have used marriage extensions and retirement extensions. Most recently, I used the 1-year multi-entry Non-O (spouse) from Savanakhet. With both passports needing renewing within the next 4 months, I have been taking advantage of the current 60-day visa-exempt entry. After I renew the passports, I will be looking at a long-term visa. I am out of the country about 6-8 months of the year on regional offshore work, with my contracts assigned out of a global agency's Perth WA office. I don't work in Thailand. I am not sure if I would qualify for the DTV under the 'workation' but as a working professional based in Thailand, maybe it's feasible? Although I'm British and my contracts are issued out of Australia, it may be possible for the visa support letter to be issued by their UK office. I would apply while I am in the UK, just after my passport renewal. Possible? -

Scottish Man Extradited from Thailand Jailed for Sexually Abusing Young Girls
Even of there were Notices, they are not arrest warrants/demands, they are just advisory notices that police forces can act upon or ignore. -

Increase in food poisoning in 2023 to 2024 - supporting statistics?
“There is no way to know since most cases of food poisoning are not treated at government hospitals “ Stats are usually commissioned and gathered from more than one source – for instance insurance companies and are commissioned by various bodies - .e.g. - Ministry of Public Health, many Hospitals and Health Facilities e.g. - Public and private hospitals, clinics, and other health facilities report cases of food poisoning they treat, contributing to the data collected by the MoPH and its associated bodies. Also Thai Food and Drug Administration (Thai FDA), Bureau of Epidemiology, Provincial Health Offices, WHO, “those statistics do nto s[earate out food poisoning from other types of gastroenterisits” As the reports I am seeing are largely from laypersons, it doesn’t really matter if it is food poisoning or types of gastroenteritis as bacterial, viral and parasitic may be the causes – but if there is an increase in anything then the public need to be aware “increased numbers of tourists alone could account for this” – But you miss the point – the numbers are in fact LOWER than before Covid, they are concentrated into smaller areas, but the rise – if there is one – would an increase per unit over previous figures. I have already considered the “mass-histeria” effect of social media which is why I’d like to see statistics rather than just guess “Food poisoning cases here follow seasonal trends and always increase in the very hot season, for obvious reasons (food spoils more quickl” – you seem to miss the point – the effects of climate in Thailand have been the same for decades – what I’m trying to find out is if there has been a CHANGE in th circumstances. It also may not be just tourists, it could be the population in general cause by the industrialisation, transportation and processing within the food industry. -
