Thai financial advisor
Thanks, I just sent them an email to clarify - this is interesting. What is the negative of doing this? If I transfer my pension to a fund that welcomes expats then I can manage any future investments, does the current pension stagnate? I had a couple of good meetings with some advisors today, they were quite honest in saying that the best way to proceed, if possible, is to basically do this yourself - do as @BritManToo first suggested, but they said this is becoming increasingly difficult to manage if you are a long term expat without property in the UK - as mentioned above by @PBob now the fund know I'm not in the UK I would need to jump through hoops to prove some kind of residency - the transfer cost would be comparable to a return flight to the UK, and time spent doing the legwork - I would also benefit from having a financial advisor to lay down the foundations for any future developments, for instance, inhertance. But thanks for the tip, It will be interesting to hear the reply. -

Health COVID-19 Cases in Thailand Surge to Ten Times Flu Levels
Sorry I thought you were asking if there are actually flu test kits. There are but the norm is lab tests as rapid antigen tests are seen as unreliable for influenza detection. As for assuming you might have the flu if RAT shows negative for Covid-19 (also not entirely reliable) people might also assume they have a common cold which is more likely IMO as all three viral infections have a commonality of symptoms. -

Video Transwoman Plans Escape to Thailand Amid UK's Anti-Trans Atmosphere
There are so many stages in transing or transgendering or transiting or whatever else it may also be called that every time I read the word "transwoman", I am left wondering whether I am reading about a person with a penis or a person with a vagina. -

Western Allies Warn Israel Over Gaza Offensive as Fragile Talks Resume in Doha
Are you guys serious? OK, here are just a few examples. One humble request in advance: PLEASE; PROVE ME WRONG, if I am wrong (you have no idea how much I would appreciate that) BUT DO NOT SILENCE ME if I am right (as this would make you a complicit). This is no anti-Semitic slur. These are well documented facts from credible sources. 1. March`25: the 15 aid workers 15 aid workers were killed and buried handcuffed at least some of the paramedics and shot them at close range. The IDF initially said, „we did not do it, then corrected to „those vehicles had been approaching our position "suspiciously" in the dark without lights or markings”. But after a video that was recovered from the phone of one of the dead clearly proved that all of the ambulances and a fire vehicle were clearly marked with flashing red lights the IDF stated “well six of them were Hamas”. Without any further proof. 2. April`24 worlds central kitchen Drone operators fired three missiles in five minutes at three of the Worlds Central Kitchen cars, with some survivors of the first strike boarding the second car, which was hit minutes later by a second missile. Some survivors of the second strike boarding the third car, which was in turn struck by a third missile.[4] All seven aid workers were killed, they held Australian, British, Palestinian, Polish, and dual American-Canadian citizenships.[ The IDFs answers as usual in the following order, depending on the evidence presented by humans rights organizations: “1. No, we did not do that. 2. We did it, but those vehicles were unmarked. 3. Yes, those vehicles were marked, it was a mistake.” 3. January`24: 5-year-old Hind Rajab The IDF approaching Gaza, Hind Rajab and her family were fleeing, some of them by foot, some including Hind in a small car. The vehicle was shelled, killing her uncle, aunt and three cousins, with Rajab and another cousin surviving and contacting the Palestine Red Crescent and while asking for help the female cousin was killed. You can clearly hear her scream while a machine gun is fired. 5-year-old Hind somehow survived and called her mother begging her to come and get her. A female PRC member tried to calm her down on the phone. After the PRC got permission from IDF 2 paramedics attempted to rescue her. Then silence. 2 weeks later both Hind and the paramedics were found killed. on 10 February after an Israeli withdrawal. Israel claimed that there were not any troops present in the neighborhood and denied carrying out the attack. This was refuted by The Washington Post relying on satellite imagery and visual evidence, which concluded that several Israeli tanks were indeed present and one had likely fired 335 rounds on the car that Rajab and her family had been in, with tank operators being able to see that the car had civilians including children in it. 4. 23 Lying about the use of white phosphorus violating international law On October 10 in Lebanon and October 11, 2023 in Gaza, the Israeli military used white phosphorus shells. Israel denied the claim, stating it was “unequivocally false.” However, Human Rights Watch verified videos of “multiple airbursts of artillery-fired white phosphorus” launched by the Israeli military over the Gaza City port and along the Israel-Lebanon border. Amnesty International also documented the presence of white phosphorus shells at an Israeli army base in southern Israel near Gaza. In 2009, during Israel’s attack on Gaza known as Operation Cast Lead, Israel initially denied that it used white phosphorus. However, Human Rights Watch subsequently documented Israel’s widespread use of white phosphorus shells in Gaza, including in densely populated urban areas, a UN compound, and a UN school. In total, Israel fired more than 200 white phosphorus shells during the assault. 5. Unsubstantiated claims about beheading of children - October 2023 Israel’s military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office claimed that Hamas fighters beheaded up to 40 children during their October 7 attack on the town of Kfar Aza. The incendiary allegations spread quickly and were widely repeated in the media and by President Joe Biden, who falsely claimed during a meeting with Jewish leaders that he personally saw photos of beheaded children, which the White House later admitted he had not seen any such photos and that the US had not verified the claim. However, Israeli journalists who visited the scene of the alleged beheadings found no evidence to support the allegation and the Israeli military officials accompanying them made no mention of it. Despite the whole thing was debunked by Israeli media the western media never corrected it to be not true. 6. false claims of systematic use of sexual violence - October 2023 Israel claimed that Hamas fighters systematically used rape as a weapon of war during their attack on October 7, 2023, a claim that was widely repeated by Western media and politicians, including President Joe Biden, even before Israel presented any proof. While evidence later emerged appearing to prove some incidents of sexual violence did take place, many of the initial allegations in the western media were debunked until now and Israel has yet to provide any proof supporting the claim that it was systematic or deliberately orchestrated by Hamas, which had no previous record of using sexual violence. While Israel has failed to provide evidence to support its claims about systematic sexual violence on October 7, UN rights groups and journalists have documented widespread use of sexual violence, including rape and other forms of torture on Palestinians being held captive by Israel, including kids, doctors and other medical workers before and after October 2023. The following for those, who think that all the problems started October 7 and that everything would be over, if Hamas just returned the hostages. 7. Lying about the murder of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh - May 2022 On May 11, 2022, renowned Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot in the neck and killed by an Israeli sniper while reporting on an Israeli army invasion of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, even though she was nowhere near any fighting at the time and was wearing a vest clearly marked “Press.” Then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and the Israeli military blamed Abu Akleh’s death on Palestinians, distributing unrelated video of Palestinian gunfire during the invasion as supposed proof. However, multiple independent investigations, including by The Washington Post, NY Times, AP and CNN, as well as by human rights groups like Amnesty, and from the UN, all concluded that Abu Akleh was killed by an Israeli soldier. The Israeli military itself later admitted that Abu Akleh may have been killed by one of its soldiers. 8. Lying about bombing of media offices in Gaza - May 2021 9. Lying about the killing of Ahmad Erekat at West Bank military checkpoint - June 2020 10. Doctoring video to falsely claim medic murdered by Israeli sniper was human shield - June 2018 Enough? This is just the last 7 years. Do you think the last 77 years were any different? Wake up!! -

Report Nightmare in Phuket: British Family's Pricey Villa Scam Uncovered
Another none vetted rental by booking.com I had a similar experience. The owner intentionally omitted/cropped photos of there condo. Upon arrival, due to mobility issues (which the owner was made aware of) could not stay at the condo. Neither myself or booking.com could reach the owner. Contact info did not work. Booking.com left us high and dry. Sorry nothing we can do (except take our commission). Left us to find alternative on our own. POS!!
