Finance Foreign Nationals Face Account Bans in Bangkok Bank Crackdown
It appears that you still need a brick and mortar Thai bank account for those in order add money. I am talking about e-Wallet solutions that just need the app and allow you to withdraw cash from an ATM. GCash and Maya apps allow you to do that in the Philippines. You just pick up the ATM/debit card from 7-11 or Robinsons and link it to your app. Took me 15 minutes. I just transfer money into them like I would any other foreign bank account, using Wise. So far I haven't found anything like that in Thailand. -

Politics Bangkok Named Best City in the World for Remote Work by New York Post
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Bangkok has been ranked the best city in the world for remote work, according to a report by the New York Post, citing high-speed internet, a low cost of living and vibrant cultural attractions as key factors behind the capital’s top spot. Sasikarn Wattanachan, Deputy Spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office, announced the news on 31 May, noting that Bangkok’s combination of modern infrastructure and rich cultural heritage makes it particularly appealing to digital nomads. “Bangkok’s ornate temples, world-famous cuisine and bustling street life offer an unmatched experience for those seeking a new way of working and living,” said Sasikarn. “The city is full of energy and vibrancy, blending traditional Thai charm with modern convenience.” The New York Post cited data from QR Code Generator, which recently compiled an index ranking the best global cities for digital nomads. The index considered factors such as internet speed, cost of living, availability of remote work visas and overall quality of life. Bucharest, the capital of Romania, came in second place. The report highlighted the growing popularity of remote work, nearly five years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, as more professionals seek flexible arrangements that allow them to work from abroad. In response to this trend, the government is actively promoting the country as a remote work hub. Sasikarn explained that Thailand has expanded its visa-free entry to 93 countries and territories, allowing visitors to stay for up to 60 days. Additionally, the newly introduced Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) aims to attract foreign nationals who wish to work remotely or engage in cultural or medical activities while travelling in Thailand. “These measures are part of the government’s wider strategy to meet the needs of modern travellers and stimulate the Thai economy year-round,” she added. The recognition from the New York Post is seen as a major boost to Thailand’s tourism and remote work sectors, reaffirming Bangkok’s status as one of the world’s most dynamic and welcoming cities for international professionals.

Community Suspected Anthrax Case in Nong Bua Lamphu After Man Eats Raw Beef
UPDATE Suspected Anthrax Case in Nong Bua Lamphu Tests Negative – Authorities Continue Animal Testing Picture courtesy of Matichon. Health authorities have confirmed that a suspected anthrax case in Nong Bua Lamphu province has tested negative, easing fears in the local community following widespread social media speculation. The patient, a 64-year-old man identified only as Mr. Thongsuk, from Nong Ruea subdistrict in Non Sang district, reportedly began experiencing symptoms on 23 May. He had not been involved in animal farming but was believed to have consumed raw minced pork (larb) at a local Bun Bang Fai rocket festival. Initial symptoms included itchy pustules on his back, later spreading to his arms, abdomen and shoulders, with black scabs eventually forming. The patient sought medical treatment on 29 May. Initial gram-stain laboratory tests returned a positive result, prompting concern over a possible anthrax infection. Further testing was conducted by the Department of Medical Sciences under the Ministry of Public Health. As of the morning of 31 May, officials confirmed that the patient’s samples showed no trace of anthrax DNA, according to the final laboratory results. Authorities have urged local residents and livestock farmers to remain calm. Meanwhile, Nong Bua Lamphu provincial livestock officials, led by Ms. Wallapa Waraassavapat, have begun collecting samples from animals kept in the same area. It is suspected that the meat used in the raw dish may have come from one of these animals. Blood and tissue samples have been sent for testing, and results are expected on 1 June. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and advise the public to avoid consuming raw meat to prevent food borne illnesses. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-06-01.
