60-day visa exemptions are now unlimited at land borders
1. In ordinary language and in legal terms, everything that is not limited is unlimited, without the need to explicitly specify that it is unlimited. 2. Yes, immigration officials at border entry points have the authority to deny a traveller permission to enter Thailand in accordance with Section 22 of the Immigration Act and to use their discretion in exercising this authority. -

Trump’s big fat abject lie …and why he keeps telling it.
I am not a medical professional so these are my feelings on the issue. There are a lot of people who interpret the word vaccine as to mean ONLY treatment that prevents the disease. And the RNA covid vaccines only lessen the impact if one catches covid. So this has some people up in arms over a definition of the word vaccine. IMO if it ends the widespread death and filling of hospitals I'll take the result either way. And perhaps if they had sold it differently (what word other than vaccine I have no idea) we wouldn't have this debate. In fairness we are finding (I think) a higher than normal long term side effects of these vaccines and need an unbiased study to determine how widespread that is or if it is the new RNA stuff. -

AMLO freezes assets worth billions in major fraud crackdown
Photo courtesy of Bangkok Post By Puntid Tantivangphaisal The Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) has made remarkable strides in addressing fraud cases, including those involving notable figures and corporations, resulting in the seizure and freezing of assets valued at billions of baht. The development was shared by AMLO Secretary General Theppasu Bavornchotidara and Witthaya Neetitham, its spokesperson, following a meeting with the transaction committee. Twelve significant cases have seen asset seizures and freezes, encompassing large-scale fraud, drug-related crimes, and online gambling networks. The assets in question amount to over 234 items with a combined value of roughly 836 million baht. AMLO specifically targeted cases like that of renowned lawyer Sittra Biabungkerd and his associates, who face charges of fraud and money laundering. In this instance, assets including land, buildings, and bank accounts amounting to 71 million baht have been frozen. Another significant case under AMLO’s purview is that of Duennapa Kaewkamnerd and her accomplices, who are implicated in public fraud. Their assets, numbering 122 items and valued at approximately 669 million baht, have been seized. A Chinese woman and her group are likewise charged with public fraud and money laundering, resulting in the confiscation of 66 assets, such as condominium units and bank accounts, valued at 78 million baht. Panuwat Jaiman and his associates, involved in public fraud through money trading, have seen 22 of their assets seized. These include land, properties, and bank accounts, collectively worth around 81 million baht. In the case concerning The iCon Group, AMLO proposed that 103 assets valued at 286 million baht be transferred to state ownership. Meanwhile, 40 items worth 29 million baht have been returned to rightful claimants. Victims are encouraged to file claims by February 17. AMLO will then prepare a list of claimants and assess damages, potentially leading to civil court proceedings to secure restitution or compensation based on individual losses. The situation involving Chanin Yensudjai, former chairperson of Stark Corporation, is also under scrutiny. AMLO has taken steps to seek restitution for more than 3,900 victims, involving 50 assets with an estimated worth of 3.24 billion baht. The civil court is considering further actions concerning these assets, as AMLO has submitted the case to prosecutors for the potential recovery of funds, reported Bangkok Post.

movie lovers?
I usually don’t pay for individual movies or streaming services because the costs can add up quickly, especially when you like a variety of genres and older films. I prefer using 123movies to watch movies for free, which gives me access to a wide selection without worrying about subscriptions or rentals. On platforms like this, you can stop a movie and pick up where you left off, which is really convenient. It also saves you from hopping between multiple providers to find what you’re looking for. -
