Belgian MMA Fighter Tackles Indian Gang in Pattaya Brawl
Well I haven't seen that in the Pattaya shops, but have come across something like 'Mace' spray, ie pepper spray, which would probably do similar. I have often wondered if spraying 2 or 3 LBs that were bothering you and threatening nimble fingers in pockets would be legal, or result in assault charges? -

Funds in the bank for a marriage or retirement extension
No. Since you have the Non O your only concern is extensions and using money in bank method the funds do not need to be shown came from abroad. BTW: Even if you were applying for the Non O in Thailand it's only Non O retirement that would require proof funds from abroad. -

Former Yakuza Gang Member Arrested for Call Centre Scam and Money Laundering
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Police have arrested six Japanese nationals in connection with call centre scams in two separate cases, including a former Yakuza gang member. Pol. Gen. Thatchai Pitanilabutr, Inspector-General of the Royal Thai Police and Director of the Anti-Human Trafficking Centre, revealed details of the arrests, which were made following cooperation between Thai and Japanese authorities. Case 1: Former Yakuza Member Apprehended The first case was initiated when the Japanese Embassy in Thailand alerted the Immigration Bureau about a Japanese national wanted in Japan for assault, fraud, theft, and violations of the country’s Anti-Organised Crime Act. Authorities requested his deportation. The suspect, identified as Yamaguchi, was located in the Sathorn area of Bangkok, where immigration officers arrested him. Further investigations revealed that Yamaguchi was a former Yakuza gang member and the leader of a call centre gang operating in Cambodia and Vietnam, targeting Japanese citizens. Thai authorities discovered that Yamaguchi had been renting a luxury property in Sathorn for over 180,000 baht per month. He had also established a company called Last Samurai Japan in 2024, allegedly dealing in high-value art sales. Investigators suspect the company was a front for money laundering. Acting on a search warrant, police raided Yamaguchi’s residence, where they discovered four other Japanese nationals, all of whom had previous criminal records in Japan. Authorities also found assets worth over 30 million baht in a digital wallet, which is now under investigation. Yamaguchi was taken into custody, and Thai authorities are coordinating with Japanese officials for his extradition. Case 2: Call Centre Gang Financier Captured The second case involved Miyashita, a Japanese national wanted for theft. Thai authorities, working closely with their Japanese counterparts, tracked him down following a crackdown on call centre operations in neighbouring countries. Miyashita was captured by a militant group and handed over to authorities. He later confessed to working as a financial officer for a call centre gang since January. He has been charged under Thailand’s immigration laws, and efforts are underway to extradite him to Japan. Pol. Gen. Thatchai stated that Thailand and Japan would continue working together to combat transnational organised crime, particularly call centre scams. -- 2025-03-21 -

Pattaya Crackdown: Suspects Nabbed in Late-Night Vape Bust
That is not really the point though, just another one. I do hope they legalize them, and we have a supply of safely manufactured vapes, as of course they are much easier to live with than the old smelly cigarettes. With the hope they can stop kids using them..... ATM we seem to have little knowledge of how they affect health. Just another addictive drug people unnecessarily ingest.
