Minibus Driver Falls Asleep at the Wheel, Crashes into Barrier, Utility Pole & Dies
Picture from responders. A minibus driver lost control and crashed into a barrier and utility pole after falling asleep at the wheel. The driver was initially found unconscious at the scene and later succumbed to his injuries in hospital. At approximately 18:50 on 4 February, rescue teams from Sawang Sa Kaeo Foundation, Khao Chakan unit, were alerted to a crash on Highway 317, Sa Kaeo–Chanthaburi, in front of Chok Wattana shop in Khao Chakan district, Sa Kaeo province. Upon arrival, officials found a white minibus, believed to be operating as a private passenger service, that had crashed into a concrete barrier before colliding with a streetlight pole. Initial investigations suggested that the driver, who was travelling at high speed, had fallen asleep. Fortunately, no passengers were on board at the time of the collision. The driver, later identified as Mr. Pisit Achirathamsak, a 45-year-old resident of Moo 6, Khao Chakan, Sa Kaeo, was found unconscious behind the wheel. Despite wearing a seatbelt, he was unresponsive, unable to open his eyes, and did not react to verbal prompts. However, emergency responders detected a pulse and immediately extracted him from the vehicle for medical assistance. Rescue personnel provided first aid and transported Mr. Pisit to Khao Chakan Hospital. However, upon arrival, his condition deteriorated rapidly, and he went into cardiac arrest. Medical staff performed CPR in an attempt to revive him, but their efforts were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead shortly after. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash. -- 2025-02-05 -

How safe is the retirement visa as a strategy to live in Thailand permanently?
First up 800k seasoned for 2 months prior to application for extension is not a "Jomitien thing". All offices require that. So without an agent likely that your application would be rejected. For your next extension you may have an issue (unlikely) as immigration can and often do look at the bank book back to before last application. Your bank book would show non compliance. BTW: how much was the "dip below" and do you have another bank account. -

Thailand's New Digital Arrival Card Stirs Confusion Among Travellers
Image: TAT newsroom ANALYSIS The impending introduction of Thailand's digital entry card requirement has left many potential visitors in a muddle, as questions about its implementation remain unanswered just weeks before its anticipated launch. As of May 1, all non-Thai passport holders travelling to the country will need to complete an online form, the Thai Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), ahead of their arrival. This measure is designed to replace the now-defunct TM6 entry card, which travellers and immigration officials alike found cumbersome due to its small size and the frequent lack of pens handy after long-haul flights. The TDAC will require travellers to input basic biographical information as well as details regarding their travel and accommodation plans. The new system will apply universally to those entering by air, land, or sea. However, the precise digital platform intended to facilitate these submissions has yet to be disclosed by Thai authorities, leaving both travellers and airlines in an anticipatory limbo, writes Barry Kenyon for Pattaya Mail. It is assumed that once travellers submit their details online, they will receive a confirmation in the form of a QR code. This code can then presumably be presented at the immigration desks or potentially at the electronic gates featured at some Thai airports. There is also speculation that the TDAC may serve as a customs declaration form, although official confirmation has yet to be provided. Reports suggesting the introduction of an exit procedure akin to the TDAC have also surfaced, but they remain unsubstantiated at this point. One significant source of confusion has been the distinction between the TDAC and a visa application. Although separate processes, a misunderstanding has led to concerns among tourists, particularly from the 93 countries whose citizens enjoy visa-exempt status for a 60-day visit, extendable by an additional month. From May, these tourists, along with all other foreign arrivals, regardless of their visa status, will need to embrace the TDAC protocol. Several crucial questions remain unanswered: Will passengers without a completed TDAC be refused boarding by airlines, anxious about potential fines for transporting non-compliant passengers? Will there be any mechanism for completing the TDAC form upon arrival? Will each visit require a new TDAC submission, and what happens if a traveller changes accommodation after submitting their information? With less than two months before the TDAC's expected rollout, these and other queries require urgent clarification. Without timely and thorough communication from Thai authorities, the envisioned seamless travel experience could falter before it even begins, leaving travellers and the tourism industry in a state of flux. -- 2025-02-05
