Video Severe Floods Hit Pattaya, Leaving Tourists and Locals Stranded
At least.... Fortunately they do seem to get on with the job of repairs to the beach and a good job too, it looks an absolute mess after a rainstorm, (like Normandy in 1944). If ever they let things slide there would be an end to tourism. -

USA Lancet Study: Trump’s Foreign Aid Cuts Could Result in Millions of Preventable Deaths
That's true, but it still doesn't stop other nations from taking over from the U.S., especially on a five-year basis. I was responding to the estimate in The Lancet that 14 million preventable deaths would occur by 2030 if the U.S. cuts foreign aid spending by 83%. That's only true if no one else provides the aid as the U.S. would have. It may not be considered "fair" because other countries already give more foreign aid per capita than the U.S., but it's not impossible for them to do so and thereby save those 14 million people. -

Crime Immigration Arrests Chinese Nationals Wanted for Drug Trafficking & Major Investment Fraud
Picture courtesy of Naewna. The Immigration Bureau (IB) has announced the arrest of a number Chinese nationals wanted for serious criminal offences, including international drug trafficking and a massive pyramid investment scam that caused over 500 million baht in damages. The arrests were made following coordinated investigations by the Bureau’s transnational crime suppression units. The operations follow a directive from Thailand’s National Police Chief, Pol. Gen. Kittirat Phanphuet, to crack down on foreign nationals using Thailand as a base for illegal operations. The crackdown specifically targeted those involved in drug crimes, fraud, and other transnational offences. Arrest of Chinese Nationals in Drug Case In the first case, Immigration Bureau officers arrested Mr. Li 34, a Chinese national subject to an interpol red notice and an arrest warrant issued by the Criminal Court of Thailand on 16 June 2025. He is wanted in China for drug trafficking offences. He was located at a residence in the Lat Phrao 71 area of Bangkok and will be extradited to China to face charges. Also arrested at the same location was Mr. Yu 39, who was found in possession of 418 methamphetamine tablets, 1.05 grams of crystal meth (ice) and drug paraphernalia. He was charged with drug use and illegal possession of narcotics and handed over to Chokchai Police Station for prosecution. During the search of the property, officers also found 152 small canisters and 6 large tanks of nitrous oxide (commonly known as laughing gas), along with related inhalation equipment including balloons and valves. Mr. Li claimed the gas was for personal use. Authorities seized all items for further investigation. Arrest of Chinese Woman Overstaying and Running Ponzi Scheme In a separate operation, immigration officers raided a residence on Rama IX Road in Bangkok, following a tip-off that several Chinese nationals were residing there illegally. Officers arrested Ms. Hong 53, who had overstayed her visa by 337 days and had no passport in her possession. She was charged with violating immigration laws and is currently in police custody. Further investigations revealed that Ms. Hong was a key figure behind a fraudulent investment company named Zhongguo Finance, which operated a large-scale pyramid scheme. The company lured investors by presenting itself as a legitimate international investment platform involved in technology, app development and high-end events. Members were required to pay between 7,000 to 100,000 yuan (approximately 35,000 to 500,000 baht) to join, with promises of substantial returns and business opportunities. The company functioned as a classic Ponzi scheme, using new members’ funds to pay returns to earlier investors. Investigators estimate the scam generated a cash flow exceeding 100 million yuan (more than 450 million baht), defrauding numerous victims before Ms. Hong fled to Thailand. The Chinese Embassy in Bangkok has confirmed her involvement in the scheme and is cooperating with Thai authorities regarding her return to China. Immigration Bureau Issues Public Appeal The Immigration Bureau reaffirmed its commitment to combatting foreign criminal activity and maintaining national security. Authorities continue to monitor foreign residents for suspicious behaviour and encourage the public to report any relevant information. Members of the public can report criminal activity or suspicious foreigners to the Immigration Bureau at its headquarters in Nonthaburi or via the website: www.immigration.go.th
