Thailand Cracks Down: Police to Monitor Foreign Nationals Closely
LOL on your last comment 👏 👏 and I will add that I have recently seen signs of what you call 'real dropkick tourists' across town (BKK) in a majority-Thai area that normally attracts a small handful of visitors incl. Muay Thai folks... normally no problem at all right. However, you can always gauge your own reaction when you see some 'immigrant' and think to yourself.. 'how the hell did you afford to get here?' I am talking homeless-looking dirty attire, dreadlocks, and an air of illegitimacy and desperation. -

Since February, Thailand has limited electricity, fuel, and internet access at five Myanmar sites. These measures have been instrumental in curbing illegal call centres that plague the region.

Trump Shrugs Off Potential EU Ban on U.S. Food Imports
The reason the US is declining is in part due to allowing itself to be taken advantage of, by accepting other countries unfair trade practices and lack of human rights. Trump is addressing the issue. Good on him. -

China Pressures Thailand to Uphold Myanmar Utility Bans
Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul directs the Provincial Electricity Authority in Bangkok to suspend power supply to five places in Myanmar. Courtesy: Tananchai Keawsowattana via Radio Free Asia In a strategic move against fraud, China has urged Thailand to maintain its utility restrictions on Myanmar. Since February, Thailand has limited electricity, fuel, and internet access at five Myanmar sites. These measures have been instrumental in curbing illegal call centres that plague the region. The request was communicated by Liu Zhongyi, China's Assistant Minister for Public Security, who put forward a four-point plan during discussions with Thai officials. The plan prioritises continuing the utility restrictions that have yielded positive outcomes against these illicit operations. In the backdrop of these developments, the Burmese government and the Karen Border Guard Force have initiated the transfer of 1,219 individuals, primarily Chinese nationals, to Thailand. This process, initiated on the Myanmar-Thai border, integrates stricter border management to hinder scam operators from fleeing Myanmar. Maj Gen Thanathip Sawangsaeng, spokesperson for Thailand's Defence Ministry, confirmed that approximately 300 Chinese citizens are prepped for repatriation. With the transfer primarily involving Chinese citizens, chartered flights are set to facilitate their return. To support this complex operation, Chinese officials will collaborate with Thai counterparts to coordinate the identification and repatriation processes. An additional proposal from Liu promotes deeper trilateral cooperation between China, Thailand, and Myanmar. The focus will be on reinforcing partnerships while adhering to the respective sovereignties and legal frameworks of the nations involved. Recognising the significance of these alliances, future meetings are on the cards, potentially expanding to include other willing nations. China's strategic engagement points to a larger regional effort to dismantle sophisticated fraud networks exploiting international borders. Liu Zhongyi is scheduled to meet Phumtham Wechayachai, Thailand's Defence Minister, to delve deeper into cooperation strategies against such illegal enterprises. Reportedly, 260 individuals transferred to Thailand's Mae Sot last week are already en route back to their countries following thorough vetting through the National Referral Mechanism. Moreover, Myanmar's authorities, in coordination with the Ratchamanu Task Force, have intimated the imminent transfer of over 1,200 people to the Thai border, with exact timelines yet to be determined. This evolving situation highlights the concerted efforts between nations to address cross-border crime and reflects a robust stand against complex transnational fraud activities. For Thailand, balancing diplomatic relations and internal security will be key in navigating this cooperative endeavour, reported Thai PBS. -- 2025-02-19 -

Future Uncertain for Retiree Bank Accounts in Thailand
speaking of Thai banks and charges, I used a QR payment from Bangkok bank the other day to pay for a 250baht bar bill (just to try it out) well it worked ok but I was charged 15baht for the pleasure, Thai people think cashless is something to brag about, they may need to think again if banks are going to charge like this for every transaction and it might be 15baht now (which IMO should be free) but when you have no option for cash these charges are going to go up because you will simply have no alternative, the banks really will have you by the $$$$$. I am personally 100% against cashless - there is only one winner and it ain't us.
