Save The Children Urges Action on Child Road Deaths in Thailand
Why is there always someone on here who has to argue the fact. Everybody knows Thais don't do walking. Some of the people on here could start an argument in a phonebox -

Harris Lies, Americans Die. Illegal Aliens are more Important
Trumpers, tell us how spewing lies about Hurricane Helene helps anyone. As Trump lies (and lies and lies) about FEMA, GOP gets called out on Hurricane Helene ‘hypocrisy’ Despite Republican governors praising the Biden Administration’s swift and compassionate response, and GOP representatives pleading with the former president to stop lying, and for his inner circle to stop advising victims not to cooperate with FEMA, Trump keeps telling the same lies at his rallies. -

Urgent Request for Information re Death of British Citizen in Thailand
Yes that's correct and the court can appoint a lawyer which can be a cheaper option. My experience, approx 8 weeks to obtain letters of administration and a further 5 weeks for the Thai bank to act on them. Why that's cheerful news. An appointed lawyer would seem a good route to go since I doubt there would be any objection by the father's friend or his nephew in Hong Kong. His nephew has no interest in attending the funeral so I doubt he would make the trip to try and contest the daughter's sole right to her father's assets. -

Harris Lies, Americans Die. Illegal Aliens are more Important
If you were prohibited from posting lies here, you couldn't post anything. Kamala Harris was a courtroom prosecutor in Alameda county 1990-1998. -

Urgent Request for Information re Death of British Citizen in Thailand
I don't know any prices. But you should be prepared for what could be quite a costly matter as the other parties may try to disrupt your daughter's claim. The case could drag on for a long time and involve several different actions by the lawyers. I think you'll just have to accept that this will not go smoothly. Go to 3 law firms and ask them each for their costs and how they think the case will proceed. They should offer this initial interview for free. In regard to possession of the items, this again is very challenging, so it might be wise right now to report the matter to the Thai police. Then it is on record. Have you specifically asked for the computer back? Have you specifically asked for the information on the location of the bank cards etc? Have you asked why he has kept these and has not given them to you? It might be that he really is acting in good faith and believes that means ensuring the Hong Kong relative receives some money before you try to stop it. Or possibly he thinks the oral will-- which I'm sure is invalid-- must be carried out. But it is important to figure out his motives. If he is acting in good faith then he should be prepared to work with you to get the probate done. If he isn't, you must be ruthless to ensure he does not dissipate the funds. -

Urgent: Pharmacies that sell HIV PrEP in Bangkok (Sukhumvit area)
Have you considered that perhaps two (or three, or four) normal people in a non-John/hooker relationship who maybe haven't known each other for very long but like each other, just want to enjoy each other's bodies for a few days without having to worry about HIV? Sure, it won't protect against other STDs but other STDs are more easily managed. I really don't get the judgy attitudes here. Even if it was hookers I'm sleeping with, so what? The biology/science stays the same. Respectfully - It's fine to discuss the morality of sexual habits (might be an interesting topic actually).....in a different section of the forum. IMO. -

Urgent Request for Information re Death of British Citizen in Thailand
Yes, my wife has told me the same as far as the division of assets. 50% to the spouse and the remainder to be divided amongst the children. 35 ,000 baht for a lawyer seems reasonable and fair. Can you recommend him? We are in Samut Prakan and the father was residing in Phra Khanong. We went to the police station today and received the Thai death certificate. What was the procedure to have your wife's body released from the hospital? This is our next task which we will try to accomplish tomorrow. The British embassy must provide the legal document for the hospital's release, correct? I would imagine that this would be done by the embassy rather quickly as the body cannot remain long term in the morgue. Do we need to make an appointment to notify the British embassy of his death or can we simply walk in unannounced? We've already notified one bank today and had the account frozen. We need to do the same for his other bank account tomorrow. -

METV or Visa Exemption for multiple short-stay entries? (+ internal flights).
Just a follow up to whether someone can get a re-entry permit on a visa exempt entry like stated you can in this thread. There are numerous sites that say you can't and if it was possible why would agents that sell re-entry permits say it's not possible? Surely they would gladly sell it to you if they could. Here are 3 sites that say it's not possible. Before people start to discredit these sites, how about instead link one site that clearly says it is possible. I couldn't find any! - - - - - - - - - - - Bangkok Immigration - clearly says a re-entry permit can be granted for a visa (visa exempt entry is not a visa) "But if before leaving the Kingdom, the alien has been granted permission by the competent official to be able to re-enter the Kingdom with the current visa held." https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/re-entry-permit/ - - - - - - - - - - - Who Is Not Eligible for a Thailand Re-Entry Permit? You are not eligible for a Re-Entry Permit for Thailand if you have one of the following: • A Thailand Visa On Arrival, which is valid for a maximum of 15 days and non-extendable. • If you are from a country whose nationals do not need a Thailand Tourist Visa and you have entered the country under the visa-exemption rule. https://visaguide.world/asia/thailand-visa/re-entry-permit/ - - - - - - - - - - - "If you are holding 30 days exempt visa stamp or Visa on arrival than you can’t get a Re-entry permit" https://thaivisaexpert.com/single-multiple-re-entry-permit/ Yes it's not updated to new 60 day visa exempt but it's pretty clear visa exempt doesn't qualify. - - - - - - - - - - - I can post many more sites saying it's not possible and I've had an agent actually tell me its not possible. Can anyone post a site that clearly says you can get a re-entry stamp for a visa exempt entry?- 1

Hurricane Milton Reaches Category 4
Hurricane Milton threatens Florida after going west to East in the Gulf of Mexico. It is going to hit near Tampa Bay, how far away is the question. The number of high intensity hurricanes hitting the US has increased due to historically hot water in the ocean, caused by humans dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Trump doesn't believe this is happening, so the US made little progress in reducing CO2 emissions during his 4 years. If you want to blame someone for these hurricanes, you can blame Trump. -
