Bank of Thailand Boosts Mobile Security with New Transfer Limits
Exactly the problem. And especially a concern for the elderly, precisely the group now being limited. I am right now sitting outside the cardiac ICU at a major hospital for a Cambodian friend who just had a quintuple bypass (4 grafts, 5 vessels). His family is scrambling to sell some land to cover costs but as he could not safely wait I fronted them the money. 2 deposit payments so far: 52k before the angiogram, 1 million before the surgery (and these will not fully cover costs, there will be more due later). First deposit paid with mobile banking, Thai bank (thankfully the 50k cap nto yet instituted as I could nto have left the hospital to go in person to bank at this juncture). Second deposit exceeded my Thai bank balance (excluding the 800k visa account) so used 2 US credit cards. One tripped a fraud alert, one didn't. Cleared the fraud alert with a phone call, no need to "come in person", just answer a series of ID verification questions. No one presumed to try to ascertain if I was being "scammed", just that I was I. But not all expats have credit cards with high credit limits from their home country, many have all their assets with them here in Thailand. A huge problem looming for expats in situations like this if there is a 50k cap automatically applied. Going in person to the bank in such situations not possible. Extra security, including phone call to the bank, would be fine, but an absolute cap is not warranted. -

Anecdotal News about Covid-19 Vax harms
I began to carefully examine my experiences since getting "hot" jabs after reading many informative posts here. I just realized since my vaccinations 100% of the time when I grab a single use plastic glove in the Makro meat section, I get a glove for the wrong hand. -

Elon Musk and JD Vance Spark Controversy with Support for Germany’s Far-Right AfD
I am not. I think the main reasons are social media where people only get access to news that aligns with their existing beliefs. Dems believe all the nonsense they hear on CNN and Reps believe all the nonsense they hear on Fox. Also voters identify strongly with their party's policies when in fact they might have other thoughts on them, esp immigration, LGBT, guns, climate change.
