Cambodia Seizes 1.46 Tons of Drugs, Arrests 12,728 in Six Months
What is weird is that so close to China , and with Chinese running around in Thailand and Cambodia , we never hear of fentanyl. I guess they only export it to the US via Canada & Mexico. -

Safest and Easiest Thailand Border Run Checkpoint in 2025 – Any Recommendations?
I would recommend chiang khong, nong khai, mukdahan, chong mek, padang besar, sadao, hat lek. It's possible you will face issues if you have long history in Thailand and only stay out 1-2 days. Let us know how it goes if you do one of these borders. Tod Daniels is right that it would be better to use a visa run service so you are guaranteed entry -

My view today.
From AI "People who project hate may also be influenced by deeper psychological factors, such as insecurity, low self-esteem, or unresolved trauma. In some cases, projection is linked to mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. Addressing these underlying issues can help individuals develop healthier ways of managing their emotions and reducing the tendency to project hate onto others." -

Can foreigners really own condos or can they still lose access like with land lease?
Condo is an entity in which only up to 49% of total unit space can be owned by foreigners. As unit owner, you are "co-owner" to the project, which is Thai as it's below 50% foreign owned, and the land is owned by the project, not you. That is true for "Freehold" condos, but not for leasehold, where land is leased for 30 years - there are many such examples in Ratchaprasong area between Rama 1 and Sarasin roads... But assuming Freehold - yes, you can own the condo unit, or even several of them in same or different condos. If you have permanent residence in Thailand, then you don't need anything special - get list of co-owners with their share of floor space from juristic office (seller will provide that) and statement that there are no overdue payments, buy unit, register it at land office and you're done, If you don't have PR, then you need to also provide proof from bank that funds were transferred from abroad. There are no differences between Thai and foreign co-owners after purchase. Only exception would be if project is tethering on the edge of allowed foreign ownership, and it's in area popular with foreigners, then foreign-owned units may command higher resale prices. But that's only true in small area of Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket. Your hypothetical question on whether majority could decide to remove foreign owners... That's very far fetched, but seems impossible. We had one that was causing a lot of trouble and his parents were called in to remove him from building. He was gone for several months while their unit was put up for sale but nobody bought it. Eventually, he returned, alas rarely venturing out of the room. There are also 3 ladies on 3rd floor I think that are in some sort of conflict with the rest of residents... can't do anything to them either. All that can be done is approving new condo rules by the project committee, which penalise certain behaviours and by that encourage behaviour change. But you cannot force someone to sell off his/her property. It's not like rent, where either side can cancel the contract. You actually own that box. There is one exception to all of this - and that is in case the building is no longer habitable. Example would be major damage in quake or fire, which renders building unsafe and too expensive to repair. In that case, the project folds and unit owners lose their units. I don't know of any cases of such to give details on exactly what happens in such a case. -
