Former Arsenal Player Arrested Over £600K Cannabis Smuggling from Thailand
The cannabis seized at Stansted Airport. Picture courtesy: NCA via ESSEX Live Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, once a promising talent for Arsenal, finds himself in serious legal trouble after being arrested for attempting to smuggle cannabis worth approximately £600,000 (around $800,000) via a British airport. The 33-year-old footballer, currently playing for Scottish second-tier team Greenock Morton, was apprehended at his residence near Glasgow on Wednesday morning. The National Crime Agency (NCA) reported that Emmanuel-Thomas was then taken to Carlisle in northern England for questioning. Emmanuel-Thomas' career began at Arsenal, where he made five appearances, including a notable appearance in a Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk in November 2010. He later played for numerous clubs, including Ipswich, Bristol City, Queens Park Rangers, and Aberdeen, as well as a stint in Thailand with PTT Rayong. The situation unraveled when customs officers discovered around 60 kilograms (130 pounds) of cannabis hidden in two suitcases at Stansted Airport, arriving on a flight from Bangkok on 2nd September. Two women were initially arrested at the scene. Former Arsenal striker Emmanuel-Thomas. Picture courtesy: instagram officialjet10 via Daily Mail Emmanuel-Thomas now faces charges of importing class B drugs into the United Kingdom. This offence carries a maximum penalty of 14 years imprisonment under UK law. This incident comes shortly after the NCA had issued warnings to travellers about bringing cannabis into the UK from countries like Thailand, Canada, and the US, where cannabis laws are more lenient. The strict UK legislation aims to curb the illegal drug trade and prevent smuggling operations. Sources: Agencies -- 2024-09-20 -

5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
Has anyone managed to get a bank account on the DTV? I saw on Reddit that for many people it was a little problematic. I just applied for the certificate of residence here in Chiang Mai and hope to get it within a few days, so maybe that will make it easier to get an account. -

Yes, and it stands on the menu. We all know about this, and it´s only a issue for you. Actually they have the same system in many countries. -

Language to Use When Mailing Letters from US/UK/AUS to Thailand
English and Thai are clearly very different languages, whether written or spoken. I want to vote absentee in the upcoming US election, but I'm not sure how to write my address here in Thailand so that the ballot (or any other mail) actually reaches me. If I write my Thai address in English, will the local Thai post office know how to deliver it when received from the USA? On the flip side, if I list the address in Thai will the US Post Office know what to do with it? I also don't believe I am able to cut and paste Thai characters into the ballot request form anyway, so the first part of the question likely is more relevant. Does anyone have experience mailing things from the USA/UK/Australia to Thailand, and, if so, do you write your local address in Thai or English? -

iPhone 16 Launch Draws Large Crowds in Thailand
I think being impressed by what model phone you're using is a thing of the past. They all look so similar now, and all have such high specs, that nobody really cares anymore. I can't even remember the last time somebody asked me which phone I'm using. I remember when it was still the days of the iPhone 6, 7, and 8 and people were more interested in the models because the specs could vary significantly. But now, as an example, the difference between an iPhone 14 and an iPhone 16 are just a few incremental, but non-critical hardware updates. I also think most people who use iPhones are on a 3 to 4 year update cycle. Thus, it is very unlikely that anyone who bought a new iPhone within the last couple of years would be interested in the newest model that just came out. Having said that though, there are an estimated 300 million iPhones still in use, of the total 1.5 billion iPhones in use, which haven't been updated in the last 4+ years. This is the largest number of old iPhones still in use to date. Apple normally sells about 230 million new iPhones every year. So this year could prove to be one of the biggest phone update cycles for the iPhone thus far. Of course that remains to be seen as to whether people will continue on with their older iPhones and not upgrade. But, presumably, many of those people seen lining up for the new iPhone are ones who are using an iPhone now that is at least 3 to 4 years old. -

I never eat at any establishments that impose a service charge and don't clearly show any compulsory taxes/VAT. It is also totally up to me to tip or not, based on the service... -

How often do you go outside? If used to Aircon that much it must be a struggle.
