Four Thai Nationals Killed in Attack Near Israel-Lebanon Border
Picture courtesy: Xinhua Four Thai nationals were tragically killed, and one was wounded in a rocket attack near the town of Metula, close to the Israel-Lebanon border, as announced by Thailand's Foreign Minister on Friday. The event reflects the ever-escalating tensions within the region. Maris Sangiampongsa, Thailand's Foreign Minister, expressed his deep sorrow over the incident and has directed the Thai embassy in Tel Aviv to extend full support to the victims' families. The Foreign Minister also called for a return to peace talks, urging all involved parties to protect innocent civilians caught in the escalating violence. This event starkly echoes last year's attacks when Hamas militants launched assaults across Israeli borders, leading to the deaths of 41 Thai nationals among 1,200 people. This attack triggered a counter-response from Israel, wreaking devastation across Gaza, leading to numerous casualties, and rippling over to affect neighbouring Lebanon with strikes against Hezbollah targets. Complicating the situation further, 30 Thai nationals had been abducted during the October 7 attack, with six still believed to be held captive, according to Thai officials. This new development brings the plight of Thai workers in the region into sharper focus. Before the uprising, approximately 30,000 Thai nationals were employed in Israel, predominantly within the agriculture sector, forming one of the largest migrant worker communities there. These individuals are now caught in the crossfire of a conflict not of their making, highlighting the often-unseen human cost of geopolitical strife. As the violence continues, there is an urgent call for renewed diplomatic efforts that prioritise the safety and security of civilians, a cry echoed by foreign powers witnessing the suffering from afar. -- 2024-11-02 -

I'm wondering if you realize just how many criminals, especially white collar types, that there are without a criminal record. -

Thai visa woes: From easy as pie to digital fly, book before you buy
The Thai embassy in Paris is the worst example you could use. They are known to be the worst embassy (tied with Ottawa) for processing e-visa. Multiple weeks if not multiple months to process applications. And then if they take so long that the date on the ticket you uploaded passes, they will cancel the application. Most other embassies will still issue the visa even if the date on the ticket passed, and then you can just border bounce to use your visa. -

Neighbour Accidentally Reverses Truck & Runs Over 84-Year-Old Woman
In a heartbreaking incident in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi, an 84-year-old woman lost her life when her neighbour accidentally reversed a pickup truck, unaware that she was standing behind it. The tragedy occurred at approximately 07:50 on November 1. Police Lieutenant Colonel Supakit Kasudom from Nong Prue Police Station was dispatched to the scene, along with rescue personnel from the Sawang Boriboon Foundation, Pattaya. Upon arrival, authorities discovered a red single-cab pickup truck, registered in Rayong, loaded with a large 1,000-liter water tank. Near the truck’s rear, they found the victim’s body, identified as Mrs. Taeng, aged 84, lying face down, she had suffered severe head and facial injuries. The incident left onlookers and family members deeply shaken, especially her 25-year-old grandson, who was seen crying by her side, mourning the sudden loss of his beloved grandmother. The driver, 43-year-old Mr. Taweesak, who had been a longtime neighbour and friend to Mrs. Taeng, expressed profound sorrow. He explained that as he was reversing the truck out of his driveway, the water tank blocked his view, preventing him from seeing her. He emphasised that the incident was completely unintentional, and he was devastated by the tragic outcome. CCTV footage from a nearby camera captured Mrs. Taeng at 07:51 as she was only steps away from her home when the truck unexpectedly reversed, resulting in the fatal collision. Police are currently continuing the investigation, interviewing witnesses and the driver, as they follow legal procedures to address this unfortunate incident.

Jumping to conclusions and assumptions are high here,along with prejudice against certain nationalities, and seeing it's a forum of mainly retired expats, it simply amazes me what some say.
