Thai High-Risk Groups Urged to Get Covid-19 Boosters
As I recall, the GBD was issued before we had a working vaccine and I did believe in it to some extent at the time because it seemed the most pragmatic route to follow. However once we got the vaccines, then I chose to take them anyway, so relinquished my belief in the GBD. -

Pattaya Council Plans Traffic Overhaul with One-Way Streets, Odd-Even Parking File photo for reference only In an effort to tackle traffic congestion, the Governance and Order Committee of Pattaya City Council, led by Anupong Puttanawarat, convened for the fourth time this year on 15th October. The focus was squarely on reorganising city traffic, introducing one-way street systems and regulating parking through an even-odd day scheme—a decision that affects major traffic spots like Lan Pho Market, Old Market, New Market, and Soi Post Office.

Thai worker killed by leftover ammunition in Israeli orchard
Oh yes , that is correct . South African hasn't yet provided any evidence to back up their claims in the 9 months since the hearing and they asked for an extension which was denied and they have 12 more days left to provide any evidence . South Africa are taking their time considering that there's a genocide going on 🙂 12 more days until the case is closed -

Pattaya Council Plans Traffic Overhaul with One-Way Streets, Odd-Even Parking
In an effort to tackle traffic congestion, the Governance and Order Committee of Pattaya City Council, led by Anupong Puttanawarat, convened for the fourth time this year on 15th October. The focus was squarely on reorganising city traffic, introducing one-way street systems and regulating parking through an even-odd day scheme—a decision that affects major traffic spots like Lan Pho Market, Old Market, New Market, and Soi Post Office. The committee laid out plans for new traffic signs with clear colour indicators—white, red, and yellow zones—to delineate parking permissions and restrictions. By implementing such measures, they aim to reduce traffic bottlenecks and improve road safety for residents and tourists alike. A consensus was reached on trialing the new traffic regulations, including penalties for breaches, with an on-site inspection scheduled for 21st October, to verify practical applications of these initiatives. This inspection intends to ensure the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed traffic management solutions. Additionally, the discussions ventured into plans for the forthcoming 2024 parking regulation ordinance. To efficiently roll out these changes, the Operations Division of the City Council has been directed to liaise with departments such as Traffic and Transport, City Administration, Revenue Development, and the Tourism and Sports Department. Their collective endeavour is aimed at raising public awareness and securing adherence to the new systems. This coordinated effort reflects Pattaya’s commitment to enhancing urban mobility while accommodating its bustling tourist activity. File photo for reference only -- 2024-10-16 -

Staying Beyond Thailand Privilege Visa Expiry
My 5-year Thailand Privilege visa (formally Thailand Elite visa) expires on 03/01/2025, but because my last arrival in Thailand was 3rd September, my permission-of-stay stamp is until 2/09/2025. Based on this and on my research before I originally paid for this visa, I'd understood I could stay in Thailand without issue until 2/09/2025. That's exactly 8 months after my visa expires. But I thought I'd double check with the Thailand Privilege Member Contact Centre first. This is the response I received: To be honest, I don't trust anything I'm told by the staff in the office as I've been told so many conflicting and wrong things over the years. It's not always their fault, as there's so much confusion and wrong information put out by immigration departments and officials. So, can anyone else with similar circumstances confirm whether I can stay in Thailand until 2/09/2025? I've also read of some people getting reentry permits in their "6th year". is this still possible? If so, how and where? Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer. -

Agreed it is sad. But on the positive side, it's basically only two or three misogynists replying to each other confirming their bias.- 1

Bangkok Police Nab Gun-Wielding Man in Drug-Fuelled Standoff
In a dramatic midday standoff, Bangkok police stormed a residence in the Pom Prap Sattru Phai district to arrest 33-year-old Sombat from Chumphon, who was firing a gun erratically from his apartment. This tense confrontation unfolded yesterday after a vigilant neighbour tipped off the authorities. Sombat faces serious charges, including possessing an unlicensed firearm, discharging a weapon in a public area, and possessing and using the illegal drug methamphetamine. Led by Police Colonel Samart Phromchat, officers confiscated a homemade .38mm handgun, additional ammo, and small quantities of meth. The arrest was anything but straightforward. Upon arrival, police found Sombat loudly disrupting the peace from his balcony, brandishing a firearm. Attempts to de-escalate the situation failed when he fired a shot, forcing police intervention. Breaking into the apartment, aided by building management, they managed to subdue and arrest Sombat. During the search, police uncovered meth concealed in Sombat's clothing. A urine test later confirmed meth usage, results corroborated by further hospital testing. Now, Sombat is in the hands of investigators at Phlapphla Chai 2 Police Station, confronting multiple charges. Authorities applaud the public’s role in reporting suspicious activity, reinforcing the importance of community involvement in maintaining safety and the weighty repercussions of drug use and illegal firearm possession.
