Report IKEA Goes Cashless at Key Thai Stores Amid Mixed Reactions
I don't think I've ever paid with cash at IKEA anyway. But for a business to go 'cashless' and potentially ostracise some customers is poor business practice IMO - they should allow as many avenues for customers to pay as possible. That doesn't really change anything - IF there are technical difficulties with digital payment systems, who carries 'enough cash' around in their wallets for the average IKEA bill anyway ? -

New dual citizen & digital arrival card
It's been my experience that on several occasions, but not always, the Thai immigration officials, when stamping out a Thai passport, asked to see the foreign passport. (I do understand that airline staff may do so as well.) -

Report Thai Government Mourns Pope Francis with Three-Day Flag Tribute
Photo courtesy of KhaoSod English In a sombre act of tribute, Thailand's government has decreed all state flags to be flown at half-mast for three days, following the passing of Pope Francis. The period of mourning commenced today, April 23, and will continue through to April 25. This directive was issued by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra shortly after the announcement of the Pope's death on April 21. The 88-year-old pontiff passed away in Vatican City due to a cerebral stroke, followed by complications. Despite battling health issues for years, his passing has sent shockwaves across the globe, drawing tributes from world leaders. Prime Minister Shinawatra, expressing condolences on behalf of Thailand, hailed the Pope's compassion, humility, and commitment to peace as inspirational to millions across various faiths. Her statement emphasised the profound impact the Pope had on global communities, fostering unity and bridging divides. Pope Francis, celebrated as the first Jesuit Pope, was renowned beyond the Catholic Church for his dedication to social justice and efforts to harmonise different religious beliefs. His influence reached far and wide, prompting nations like Thailand to honour his memory even in regions where Catholicism isn't the dominant faith. The Thai government's decision to mourn alongside the international community highlights Pope Francis's role in advocating for global peace and understanding. As Thailand's flags fly at half-mast, they stand as a poignant reminder of His Holiness's lasting legacy and his role as a beacon of humanity. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-04-23 -
