Chinese Tourist Rescued After Snorkeling Incident in Similan Islands
A dramatic rescue operation unfolded on November 9, as Thai authorities rushed to save a 27 year old Chinese tourist who lost consciousness while snorkelling in the Similan Islands and was not wearing a life jacket. The incident occurred around 14:40 at Mu Ko Similan National Park, located on Koh Miang in Phang Nga Province. According to reports from TSK Marine, the tourist, identified as Mr. Lou Yiling, had been snorkeling for the third time that day without wearing a life jacket when he began to struggle and eventually lost consciousness in the water. National park rangers swiftly responded to the emergency, bringing the unconscious tourist ashore to the Similan Islands’ Koh Miang marine security station. First responders noted that the man was unresponsive and vomiting blood, prompting immediate first aid. With his condition deemed critical, the team coordinated a rapid transfer to the Khao Lak Medical Centre for further treatment. At approximately 15:15, a park-operated speedboat transported Mr. Lou to Thap Lamu Pier, where he arrived at 16:40. Subsequently, at 18:00 the Royal Thai Navy’s Third Naval Area dispatched a helicopter to transport him to a medical facility with advanced medical care. Picture courtesy of Matichon -- 2024-11-10 -

Should I Tell My Friend That His Girlfriend Is Trans?
Got a bit of a shock today—I got a call, and the caller ID showed it was John. Naturally, I thought it was him, so I picked up, only to hear Lek’s voice on the other end. Turns out John had gone out for a run and left his phone behind, so Lek used his phone to reach me. Apparently, John confronted her after our talk, and it sounds like her cover is blown. John’s furious with her for hiding things about her past, and from what she told me, he’s talking about ending the relationship altogether. If that happens, I guess John would lose the money he already invested in building that house for them. Surprisingly, Lek wasn’t angry at me for telling John the truth. Instead, she’s asking me to help her fix things with him. She’s clearly desperate to keep him, and now she wants me to convince him to give their relationship another shot. I told her I’d consider it, but to be honest, I don’t want to defend her after the way she deceived him. Still, there’s a complication here. If I don’t step in, this situation might escalate. Lek now has my phone number from using John’s phone, and she knows where I live because she and John came by my place once before we went out for dinner. The last thing I want is her showing up unannounced, especially if my girlfriend’s around. That could make for a seriously awkward situation, and I’m not sure how far she’s willing to go to try to win him back. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Should I get involved for the sake of keeping the peace, or is it better to stay out of it and deal with any fallout if it comes? -

Where did you retire and why
Sure, people have been doing visa runs for years in Vietnam, but what's to stop immigration from denying entry at whim? Maybe it's a small risk but a risk nonetheless. I knew an English teacher in HCMC who always carried that in the back of his mind. Perhaps less a worry if one is not working? During the p(l)andemic VN cracked down hard on revolving door foreigners, even shortening the cycle to 30-day visa runs. Now it seems to be business as usual with 90 days once again and seemingly automatic extensions. But being a Socialist (Communist?) country things often change overnight without warning. It's impossible to open a bank account in VN without a Work Permit. There may well be agents in VN who can grease the right palms to get these things sorted. Would be nice if VN introduces a retirement visa. It really is a lovely country, great food, cheap beer, gorgeous women and quite liveable. There is a VN sub forum here on AN: https://aseannow.com/forum/343-vietnam/ -
