House Passes Bill Banning Physical Punishment of Children
In a significant legislative move, Thailand's House of Representatives today approved a draft bill aimed at prohibiting physical punishment of children. This comes as part of an effort to amend the Civil and Commercial Code to better protect children's rights. The special committee reviewing the bill had proposed changes to Section 3, explicitly stating that "abusive or violent actions must not be taken in punishing children to adjust their behaviour, nor should they be physically or mentally harmed or have improper action taken against them." Interestingly, the committee's minority disagreed with including the phrase "or be whipped," suggesting its removal. However, the House ultimately voted to uphold this minority view, leading to the revised text: "abusive or violent actions must not be taken in punishing children to adjust their behaviour, nor should they be physically or mentally harmed or improper action taken against them." This decisive vote saw 391 members in favour, with only one against, one abstention, and five not voting. The overwhelming support reflects a growing consensus on the need to move away from punitive disciplinary methods towards more constructive approaches. The amendment reflects modern views on child development and discipline, acknowledging the potential long-term harm of physical punishment. It also aligns with international standards and commitments to uphold children's rights. This legislative change is expected to have a broad impact, influencing how discipline is approached in homes and public institutions. Advocates for children's rights have welcomed the move, viewing it as a step forward in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all children. As the bill progresses through the legislative process, it will be closely monitored by interest groups and the public alike, marking a pivotal shift in the legal landscape concerning child welfare, reported Thai Newsroom.

Thailand Moves Forward with Orange Line Expansion in Bangkok
The civil engineering for this section is essentially completely finished, and yet the utterly shambolic contracting process has left the tunnels and stations empty for another three years. A really grotesque dereliction of duty to the local people who tolerated years of very disruptive construction and are still waiting for train service. -

WrLife still ok?
This from the Broker, I posted it earlier: Member 482 Gender:Male Location:Bang Saray Author Posted Friday at 03:02 PM (edited) Had some email exchange with my broker and this is the bottomline according to them. "To clarify, the changes related to coverage for specific and degenerative diseases will be implemented upon your policy renewal." For WrLife renewal means also extension of a existing policy. So new members are affected but also EXISTING members. Edited Friday at 03:02 PM by Henk Langeweg spelling -

Sakaeo Immigration Police Arrest Woman for Smuggling Chinese National into Thailand
In a joint operation, Sakaeo Immigration Police intercepted a Thai woman allegedly hired to transport a Chinese national illegally across the Thai border from Cambodia. The arrest followed a tip-off from Cambodian sources, with authorities stating that the woman had been paid by a broker to assist in smuggling the man into Thailand. The operation unfolded on October 29, when Sakaeo Immigration Police, led by Police Colonel Napattarapong Supaporn, received a report from Colonel Anothai Jindamanee of the Klong Luek Police Station. Intelligence from Cambodian informants indicated that a Chinese man planned to cross into Thailand through a natural channel near Poipet and travel to Bangkok. Authorities were alerted to a black Mercedes-Benz C300e with Bangkok license plate, which was reportedly waiting at the Star Plaza near the Klong Luek border checkpoint in Aranyaprathet District. In response, Police Lieutenant Colonel Amornsak Saengwan and Police Lieutenant Colonel Pruek Chotiprukchukul mobilised an investigative team to collaborate with local police and military units. Officers later spotted the Mercedes leaving the shopping plaza and heading toward a bypass road towards Bangkok. The vehicle was intercepted at a red light near Tha Kham intersection, where they detained the driver, identified as Ms. Sutthichan Chawintrametanon, 32, a resident of Bangkok. Inside the car, police found Mr. Chen Wangshuo, 28, from Jiangsu, China, who was carrying a Chinese passport without an entry stamp for Thailand. During questioning, Ms. Sutthichan claimed she was merely hired to drive Mr. Chen from Star Plaza to Bangkok. Mr. Chen admitted to illegally crossing the border after paying a Cambodian broker 250,000 baht in transportation and facilitation fees. He recounted his journey from China to Vietnam, then Cambodia, and finally across the border into Thailand, intending to visit a friend in Bangkok. The authorities detained both the driver and passenger and seized the Mercedes as evidence. They are conducting further investigations to determine if Mr. Chen has any criminal history or links to the “grey Chinese” networks operating in Thailand.
