Rising Anti-Israel Sentiments in Pai Following Tourists Misconduct
Those reasonings opens up for many excuses for conflicts world wide, who originally lived there 100's and 1000's years ago. The main problem in middle east, is the religious connections for all 3 Abrahamic religions. Ignorance at its best, and narrow minded, single minded -

Multiple Collisions at 20 Pedestrian Crossings in Bangkok Raise Alarm
I have a couple of friends that are police. I was talking to one of them and asked, When you have checkpoints why don't you get someone with bulbs for motorcycles and charge them a few hundred baht to change them right there? His only reply was, It is already illegal. They don't get it. They care more about collecting money than fixing problems. I think their mindset is more like well if we have them fix it we won't be able to collect a fine next time. -

Is another TM.30 required from my condo landlord if I stay in a hotel overnight?
Thank you for your answer. I'm going to travel to Khao Yai this weekend. I know the hotel will file a TM.30 as I'm a foreigner staying in their province for a couple nights. I'm glad I don't have to contact my landlord upon my return to Bangkok. I do recall the leasing agent telling me that the landlord will need to file another TM.30 if I travel. Maybe she meant if I travel out of the country. Another Question: Does my landlord need to file another TM.30 if I travel out the country, say for one week? Thank you, -

Tramadol Sales Exposed in Suphan Buri Illegal Pharmacy Raid
Picture courtesy: Khaosod SUPHAN BURI - A targeted raid on illicit pharmaceutical operations has unveiled the illegal sale of Tramadol, a controlled substance, being traded under the cloak of a legitimate cannabis business. This crackdown, conducted by local administrative and health officers, underscores a critical issue of public health and safety as it aims to stem the flood of dangerous drugs into the communities. On 8th February, Chaiyathat Jessadapakkorn, leading the drug suppression and social order task force in Mueang Suphan Buri, collaborated with a special operations unit and the provincial health office. Their focus was a particular shop on Phan Kham Road, flagged by locals for vending Tramadol unlawfully. Deploying an undercover operative, officials managed to purchase two packs of Tramadol for 120 Thai baht, approximately US$3.50, from the shop, manifesting conclusive evidence of illegal dealings. Following this, they made their move into the establishment, confronting two individuals, referred to here as A and B, stationed at the counter and responsible for the sale. During an inquiry, B confessed to assisting her partner, the shop’s proprietor, in peddling these drugs, directly admitting to the sale to the undercover agent earlier. A comprehensive sweep of the premises yielded a significant haul of Tramadol: 30 packs each containing ten 50-milligram pills, totalling 903 pills in bottles, and an additional 50 pills in sachets. Alongside Tramadol, stocks of other dangerous substances like Fenafec, Promethazine, and Fatec were also found, all classified under stringent pharmaceutical regulations. The suspects were taken to Mueang Suphan Buri Police station to face charges related to unauthorised drug sales, a serious breach under the Drug Act of 1967. This can lead to a five-year jail term and fines up to 10,000 baht, which is about US$295. They will also answer for practising pharmacy without a valid licence, as per the Pharmacy Profession Act of 1994, carrying penalties up to three years in prison or fines reaching 30,000 baht, roughly US$885. Dr. Ratthaphon Wetsaransuthi, Suphan Buri’s provincial public health officer, explained that this operation followed numerous complaints regarding the unlawful sale of drugs such as Tramadol and Fenafec. These substances are notorious for their analgesic and sedative qualities, which can be highly addictive and harmful, risking seizures when misused. The joint effort with local police seeks not only to reduce the availability of such substances but also to address the broader impact on community health, providing a reminder of the vigilance necessary to curb drug misuse. Through these actions, authorities aim to safeguard the public from the hazards posed by unscrupulous operators exploiting vulnerable individuals with harmful narcotics, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-10 -

Thai girlfriend - DWP PoL form for UK pension.
I agree it has not been a mandatory requirement in the past and I have signed many PoLs. Previously on the PoL it said "place your stamp in the box if you have one" (my words) but this year, by signing the form, the witness certifies that they HAVE put their stamp in the box. I had gone to my mates house to sign his PoL but when I discussed it with him, he agreed that there was an element of risk (of the form being sent back) if I signed without a stamp. I said I would sign the form but I would either cross out the the bit saying I had put my stamp in the box or write on "I don't have a stamp". I'm not telling a lie on an official Govt form. We both ended up going to our local Doctor who did it for 200 baht.
