LTR-WP VISA Strategy
this is why thoseof us with an LTR already suggest you yourself contact the BOI either email or phone - they speak English well, and are very helpful when it comes to what YOU acutally need to qualify for that visa. They are well aware what the senior officials that approve one for the LTR need as they have been going through this process for a while. Just about everyone has a different financial and health insurance situation and agents are not ALWAYS the final answer IMHO. -

Fire Two-Storey House Destroyed in Blaze – Death of Homeowner in Chonburi
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. A devastating fire in Chonburi has claimed the life of a local man after a two-storey home was engulfed in flames in the early hours of the morning of 1 May. The victim was discovered severely burned on the upper floor of the residence. The incident occurred at approximately 04:00, in Panthong district. Police Lieutenant Prasert Kulbutdee, an investigator with Panthong Police Station, together with firefighters from the Panthong Municipality and the local Subdistrict Administration Organisation, rushed to the scene following reports of a house fire. The blaze broke out at house number 39, Moo 10, in Panthong subdistrict, adjacent to the local electricity authority office. Upon arrival, officials found the fire had already consumed much of the wooden upper storey of the home and was spreading rapidly. Fire crews battled the flames for over an hour before bringing the situation under control. Once the fire was extinguished, a grim discovery was made on the second floor. The charred body of the homeowner, identified only as Mr. Jaroon, was found on a bed, burned beyond recognition. His age and full identity were not immediately available. Downstairs, a Honda Wave motorcycle bearing Chonburi licence plate 3 was found destroyed by the fire. Local residents reported that heavy rainfall had preceded the fire. They stated the blaze appeared to originate from the ground floor of the house before rapidly spreading to the upper wooden structure. They said they immediately alerted emergency services upon seeing the blaze. Initial investigations are underway, with forensic teams working to determine the exact cause of the fire. Authorities have not ruled out any possibilities at this stage. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-02. -

Community Anthrax Death Reported in Mukdahan Province
UPDATE 247 Exposed to Anthrax Following Village Ritual Beef Consumption Picture courtesy of Matichon. The Ministry of Public Health has confirmed that 247 people have been exposed to anthrax after consuming contaminated beef distributed during a merit-making event in Mukdahan Province. One fatality has been reported. Dr. Phanumart Yanawetsakul, Director-General of the Department of Disease Control (DDC), stated on 1 May, that the deceased was a 53-year-old male construction worker with a history of diabetes. He developed lesions on his right hand on 24 April and was admitted to hospital on 27 April with symptoms that included darkening of the wound, swelling of lymph nodes in the right armpit, dizziness, and seizures. He later succumbed to the illness. “Doctors suspected anthrax and submitted samples for testing to both the Department of Medical Sciences and Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute,” Dr. Phanumart explained. “The results confirmed infection by Bacillus anthracis.” Initial investigations suggest the infection stemmed from the butchering of a cow during a local religious donation event, known as a phapa, with the meat distributed and consumed within the village. A joint team from the DDC, Office of Disease Prevention and Control 10 in Ubon Ratchathani, the provincial public health office, and livestock officials is now conducting an in-depth investigation. The 247 individuals identified as having had contact with the infected meat include 28 people involved in the slaughter and 219 who consumed raw or undercooked beef. High-risk individuals have been provided with antibiotic treatment, and containment measures are being actively implemented in the area. Dr. Phanumart warned that anthrax is a serious zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, whose spores can survive in harsh environmental conditions for years. The disease commonly affects herbivorous animals such as cattle, buffaloes, goats, and sheep, and is typically transmitted to humans through direct contact with infected animals, raw or undercooked meat, or animal hides and wool. Symptoms usually appear within 1–5 days of exposure and may include fever, nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain, characteristic ulcerative skin lesions, and difficulty breathing. Without prompt treatment, severe cases can result in death in up to 80% of cases. Thailand last reported anthrax cases in 2000, with 15 infections but no fatalities, 14 in Phichit and one in Phitsanulok. A more recent incident in 2017 saw two cases in Mae Sot, Tak Province, linked to contact with a goat carcass smuggled from Myanmar. Neighbouring countries have also reported cases. In 2024, Laos recorded 129 anthrax cases with one death. Vietnam experienced three outbreaks in May 2023 involving 13 patients and 132 exposed individuals, also linked to beef and buffalo meat consumption. To prevent infection, the DDC advises: 1. Avoid contact with cattle, buffaloes, goats, and sheep. 2. Wash hands and body thoroughly after handling animals. 3. Consume only meat certified as safe. 4. Report any unusual animal deaths to veterinary authorities. 5. Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms develop. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-02. -
