UK Flat – Sell or Keep Renting? Expats Who’ve Been There – What Did You Do?
And what is wrong with you people not reading my replies regarding the right to NHS treatment, what you have said about it is in practice not true. I sold my house in 2021, stayed in Thailand until March this year, came back to buy a property to rent out which I did, but before I bought the property I had treatment at an NHS hospital, they just needed my NHS number which is never taken away from us. When was the last time you went to a hospital in the UK and they asked you if you had been out of the UK for a certain period of time, erm the answer is never. Thanks for you stating no more conversations as you are probably sulking in the corner anyway but have a good day no matter what. 🙂 -

Report Venezuelans Freed from El Salvador Mega-Prison Recall 'Hell'
The point is a mass murderer is on the loose, no one knows where he is, and probably will kill again. But no one seems bothered by that. -

Crime Raid Uncovers Illegal Cough Syrup Operation Linked to ‘4x100’ Kratom Mix
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Authorities have dismantled a major online distribution network selling illegal pharmaceuticals used in the preparation of the dangerous “4x100” concoction — a narcotic mixture of kratom, cough syrup, and other substances favoured by some youths. The bust led to the seizure of thousands of items with a street value exceeding one million baht. Acting on orders from Pol. Maj. Gen. Pattanasak Bupphasuwan, officers from the Consumer Protection Police Division (CPPD) conducted simultaneous raids at two locations in Bangkok and Nonthaburi. The first raid took place at a condominium in Samae Dam, Bang Khun Thian District, where officers found 25 categories of controlled or unregistered pharmaceuticals. These included large quantities of liquid antihistamines and cough suppressants, unregistered medications believed to have been smuggled in from neighbouring countries, and erectile dysfunction drugs such as KAMAGRA. Authorities also seized Class 2 and Class 4 psychotropic substances including Alprazolam and Amitriptyline. In the second operation, officers searched a residence in Bang Muang Subdistrict, Bang Yai District, Nonthaburi. A 29-year-old man, identified only as Mr Thanakiat, was present and cooperated with the search. Police seized fruit-flavoured syrup (commonly known as “lean”), often misused in drug cocktails, along with other pharmaceutical items. In total, both locations yielded: • 1,243 bottles of cough and allergy syrup • 180 tablets of psychotropic drugs • 17,544 unregistered pills • 7,500 hazardous tablets • 232 bottles of lean syrup The operation follows increased surveillance of online platforms suspected of illegal drug sales. Authorities noted that youth have increasingly misused over-the-counter medicines — such as painkillers, antihistamines, and cough syrups — by mixing them with kratom in what is colloquially known as “4x100”. This concoction produces hallucinogenic and sedative effects, and carries a high risk of addiction and psychological harm. Mr Thanakiat, who holds only a high school diploma and no pharmaceutical qualifications, admitted to sourcing the drugs online and selling the mixtures via a Facebook page called Drop Lean Thailand. He told investigators that he had been operating the business for around one year, earning 4,000 to 5,000 baht per month. He now faces multiple charges, including illegal production, importation, distribution, and possession of psychotropic substances, as well as selling medicines without a licence or registration. He has been transferred to the CPPD’s Division 4 for prosecution. Pol. Maj. Gen. Pattanasak emphasised the gravity of the operation, pointing to the wide range of dangerous drugs seized, including Class 2 and Class 4 psychotropics. He warned that misuse of these substances in combination with kratom poses a significant public health threat, especially among young people. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-07-27 -

Fire Fire Engulfs Fabric Warehouse in Bangkok’s Thung Khru District
Pictures courtesy of Matichon. A fire broke out late night on 25 July, at a fabric storage warehouse in the Thung Khru district of Bangkok. Fortunately, there were no injuries or reports of anyone trapped inside. The incident occurred at approximately 23:40, when Pol. Lt. Jeerasak Homnan, deputy inquiry officer at Rat Burana Police Station, received reports of a blaze at a single-storey warehouse located in Soi Pracha Uthit 54, Intersection 2, off Pracha Uthit Road in Bang Mot Subdistrict. Firefighters from the Thung Khru Fire and Rescue Station were quickly dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, they found the building engulfed in flames. Fire crews worked rapidly and managed to bring the fire under control within 90 minutes. Eyewitnesses told police they saw flames emerging from the rear of the warehouse. Attempts were made to extinguish the blaze with water, but the fire spread too quickly. They evacuated the area and waited for emergency services to intervene. Officials confirmed that no one was injured and no one was inside the building when the fire broke out. The cause of the fire is currently unknown. Authorities are coordinating with the Scientific Crime Detection Division to carry out a forensic investigation to determine the source of the blaze. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-07-27
