Thai - Cambodia Conflict Govt Orders Payout for Rocket-Hit Petrol Station
I'm not a fan of insurance companies and their methods of avoiding payments. Whether this is an act of war or not might be for a court to decide. But I do applaud this government stance at least in principle - this business owner and all the victims and their families deserve to be generously compensated for their plights. Should the insurance company be made to pay, perhaps. I also believe that they won't roll over and make the payment just because someone in government says so - they will send a loss adjuster and attempt to screw them out of as much of the claim as possible. This is where central government can step in and make an urgent payment to the business operator who appears to have lost everything in this incident. They have the money, make them whole immediately and then any legal argument with the insurance companies involved is between central government and the insurer and the government has teeth and the ability to counteract anything the insurance companies use to fight it. There's no need to delay. The government could come out on top here by paying for all damaged property repairs and then pursue the Cambodian government if they desire a refund - but that's an inter governmental thing - not something business operators and home owners should have to deal with - even the insurance companies have some sympathy here - they shouldn't have to deal with this kind of issue really. -

L.A. Consulate visa questions
On the L.A. Consulate website they have this under the submit Financial Document proof section. (Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 20,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsorship letter) It doesn't say anything about having 20,000 Baht on you as you pass through immigration. I'm taking it as having to show 20,000 in your bank account steadily for the last 3 months. I had emptied out that bank account to buy a car, but I forgot I have a Thai bank account with a few thousand dollars. So no problem there. I'm going for a multiple entry visa. I never saw this before either. The difference in fee will not be refunded, if the officer grants a single entry visa instead of the multiple entries visa you applied for. Guess it's how the officer is feeling that day. Would be nice to know why they would turn you down for a multiple entry. Thank you all for your help. I appreciate it. -

Accident French Man Dies in Car in Lampang
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. Rescue teams responded to a fatal incident on the morning of 4 August, after a white Nissan car driver, lost control and crashed into a roadside marker on the Lampang–Ngao Road, between kilometre markers 768 and 900, in Ban Huai Tak village, Ban Huad subdistrict, Ngao district, Lampang province. At approximately 07:30, highway rescue volunteers from Ngao district, alongside Lampoon and Lampang rescue associations, received a report from a passerby about a vehicle that had collided with a roadside marker. Upon arrival, rescuers found the driver, a foreign male, was found unconscious inside the car. After knocking on the door with no response, rescuers forced entry. The man was discovered unresponsive with no pulse and was pronounced dead at the scene. The deceased was identified as Mr René Patrick Strasser, a French national, who was identified as being diabetic and whose passport and driving licence listed his residence as Lampang–Mae Tha Road, Phra Bat subdistrict, Mueang Lampang district. Local residents reported that the car had been spotted stationary since around 20:00 the previous evening. Initially, they assumed the vehicle was parked and the driver resting inside. However, when the car remained in the same position the next morning, it was clear that the car had crashed into the side of the road and authorities were alerted. The police assigned rescue teams to transport the body to hospital, for a post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death, as the investigation into the incident continues.
