When applying, did you have to provide Accomodation Name, Travel Booking Confirmation and Proof of Accommodation in Thailand as per Page 30 and Page 31 of: https://www.thaievisa.go.th/static/English-Manual.pdf Seems that this is mandatory as it's got a red asterisks next to both. Are you applying through Canberra Embassy or Sydney Consulate? (Sydney Consulate is only for people in NSW) -

Thailand's New PM Outlines Bold 10-Point Plan to Revamp Economy
On what day in 2024 was the Thavisin government placed into caretaker status that would trigger as per the Constitution a national election to determine the majority party in the House to nominate a PM? There was none. More than two-thirds of the public registered electorate was prevented from voting for a party that would nominate a non-PTP candidate. How? Coincidentally, immediately after MFP was banned as a representative of its electorate base in the House, PTP coalition gained majority in the House by default that led to Paetongtarn's selection. No Senate vote required. Paetongtarn like Thavisin was simply selected, albeit apparently somewhat sensitive that both PM's were not constitutionally "elected" by the Thai electorate as would be required in a democracy. From such chain of events, I can understand the desire to change the Constitution. -

Pattaya Steps Up Security at National Sports Centre with CCTV Plan
Having people monitor cctv feeds falls into the law of 'rapidly' diminishing returns. The person needs to be well trained and not have too many screens to watch or they will miss a lot. Distractions and the need to perform other tasks also diminishes their effectiveness. There are many very effective computer based analytics systems that can monitor effectively. So the choice is, Somchai the cheap local security guard or an expensive cctv analytics computer system. -

I am surprised Thailand did not press charges against this guy for damaging their image haha... I'm happy to say I have never been there and have no plans in future to go there. On another note. It should make Thailand very happy they can now say they are number 1 in something. Overcrowding. haha.. This was made last year. Imagine how it is now. -

Man Attacks Store Owner with Iron Pipe in Samut Prakan
BANGKOK - September 13th, police officers from Mueang Samut Prakan Station, together with rescue teams from Samut Prakan Hospital and Ruam Kuson Samut Prakan Foundation, responded to an assault in front of a grocery store on the main path of Soi Tai Baan 17, Tai Baan Subdistrict, Mueang District, Samut Prakan. At the scene, Ms. Muey (surname withheld), aged 63 and the store owner, was found unconscious with a head injury and a severe laceration behind her ear, bleeding profusely. The responders provided initial first aid before she was transported to Samut Prakan Hospital. A blood-stained metal pipe was also found at the scene. The perpetrator was identified as Mr. Suthep, also known as Tom (surname withheld), aged 33, who is the nephew of the injured woman. After attacking his aunt with the pipe, Mr. Suthep attempted to flee but was apprehended by nearby residents. Mr. Suthep's statements were incoherent, resembling someone under the influence of drugs, so the authorities took him to the police station to calm down before proceeding with the legal investigation. Picture courtesy: Daily News Further background checks revealed Mr. Suthep had a history of drug involvement and was recently released from prison for theft just 2-3 days prior. He also had a history of psychiatric treatment. At the time of the incident, Ms. Muey was watching television in front of her store when Mr. Suthep suddenly struck her with the pipe, rendering her unconscious. Nearby residents promptly surrounded and caught him, then handed him over to the police. TOP Picture courtesy: Daily News -- 2024-09-13 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Trump Declines Further Debates with Harris as Election Nears
Former President Donald Trump has made it clear that he has no intention of participating in another debate with Vice President Kamala Harris before the upcoming election. In a social media post on Thursday, Trump announced, “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE,” effectively closing the door on any further face-offs between the two candidates. This announcement comes despite Harris's assertion that the candidates "owe it to the voters" to engage in another debate. Speaking at a campaign rally in Charlotte on Thursday, Harris emphasized the importance of addressing key issues in another debate. “I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate. Because this election and what is at stake could not be more important,” she stated. Harris highlighted her focus on issues that matter to Americans, including reducing the cost of living, supporting small businesses, protecting reproductive rights, and ensuring national security. In contrast, she accused Trump of failing to address the needs of the American people, claiming, “it’s all about him, it’s not about you.” Trump, however, has defended his performance in the previous debates, despite reports that some of his allies and campaign aides privately admitted the outcomes were less favorable than they had hoped. Following the Tuesday debate, Harris’s campaign immediately called for another debate, while Trump questioned the necessity of a rematch, asserting that he had won the first two rounds. Nevertheless, polls suggest that the general public perceived Trump as the loser of the debate. In several posts on Truth Social, Trump has continued to insist that he emerged victorious from the debate and has criticized ABC News, the network that hosted the event. While his campaign has encouraged others to publicly declare his dominance in the debate, there are private acknowledgments within his team that it was not his strongest showing. During the debate, Harris repeatedly challenged Trump, even mocking the crowd sizes at his rallies and suggesting that his supporters often leave early out of boredom. Trump responded by defending his rallies and reiterating a false claim about immigrants in Ohio, a rumor that local officials have already debunked. Interestingly, despite his refusal to engage in further debates, Trump’s campaign had initially expressed interest in another debate, with spokesman Brian Hughes mentioning that they had hoped for an event on NBC News later in the month. Following the last debate, Trump’s confidence appeared high as he skipped the post-debate "spin room" where candidates typically address the press. However, after this most recent debate, Trump did visit the spin room, a move that some interpret as an indication that he believed Harris had performed well. Meanwhile, Harris has sought to build momentum from her debate performance by campaigning in key states. On Thursday, she introduced a new slogan, “A New Way Forward,” during her rally in Charlotte, emphasizing her vision for a "new generation of leadership" that she argues is needed to move the country beyond the divisive politics of the Trump era. Despite her efforts, polls indicate that Harris faces challenges in presenting herself as a candidate for change, given her role as Vice President under President Joe Biden. In Charlotte, Harris underscored her message of optimism, vowing to improve the lives of everyday Americans and restore hope, contrasting it with Trump’s more negative outlook. The rally was marked by strong visuals, with large signs displaying her new slogan, “A New Way Forward,” flanked by giant American flags and patriotic decorations. The predominantly female audience, many of whom wore green stickers with the message “We’re not going back,” signaled a continued commitment to the issues Harris has championed throughout her campaign.
