Emotional Reunion: Five Thai Hostages Return Home After Year in Gaza Captivity!
Five Thai workers, who had been held hostage in Gaza for over a year, arrived back in Bangkok on Sunday. The freed individuals, Sarusak Rumnao, 32, Watchara Sriaoun, 33, Sathian Suwannakham, 35, Pongsak Thaenna, 36, and Bannawat Saethao, 27, were released on January 30 as part of an exchange arrangement. At Suvarnabhumi Airport, the returning workers were joyfully embraced by family members, with some relatives shedding tears of relief and happiness. Welcoming them home were Thai Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa and Israeli Ambassador to Thailand Orna Sagiv. During a news conference at the airport, Pongsak expressed the group's gratitude, saying, "We are all very grateful and very happy that we get to return to our homeland. We all would really like to thank you. I don’t know what else to say." Foreign Minister Maris highlighted the Thai government's unwavering efforts, stating, "We never gave up hope and here is the result today. The tears of joy are our encouragement." He also noted that Bangkok remains committed to securing the release of the remaining Thai hostage. After the news conference, the group quickly departed to reunite with family in their hometowns in Thailand’s northern and northeastern regions. This marks the second release of Thai hostages since the outbreak of conflict. Previously, during a ceasefire in November 2023, 23 Thai nationals were freed in a deal negotiated between Thailand, Hamas, and facilitated by Qatar and Iran. as reported by the BBC 09-02-2024 -

Bored of Bangkok... Any advice to an alternative place to live?
Op should move to Pattaya, Jomtien, Pratumnak or the dark side. I live in Pratumnak and go to both central Pattaya and Jomtien daily. I wouldn't move to another country until your options are up here -

Thai girlfriend - DWP PoL form for UK pension.
Hi folks, I know that many UK ex-pats have to deal with this every 2 years or so, but this concerns my THAI girlfriend who is in receipt of a small UK pension as a legacy from her late British national husband. About 2-3 years ago she got her village headman to sign the form and DWP rejected it. I suspect that this was because the headman was also her brother, the form wasn't stamped and may have even contained Thai language written by her brother. I rectified the problem for her by paying 1,000 baht to have a lawyer complete the form in English and authenticate it with an official stamp. I then, because of the delay which had already occurred, paid a further 1,000 baht to the Thai post office to effect a guaranteed speedy return. This was most annoying since, her pension payments amount to less than 1,000 baht per lunar month! I have read a similar thread on this site BUT it relates to UK nationals and NOT to Thai nationals. Does anyone know of a similar situation to my girlfriend's one, and can they advise on the following: How can I avoid a 1,000 baht visit to a lawyer? If I can effect the return in a timely manner, what method/price of postage would they suggest? In the other thread to which I earlier referred, some respondents have stated that a stamp was not necessary but, I am pretty sure that the form does in fact, state that the stamp is required. Many thanks. -
