Physical Education Teacher Found Dead in Krabi Teacher’s Accommodation
Picture from responders. An incident occurred in Krabi on 18 February when a female physical education teacher was found dead in her teacher’s accommodation. The body of 31-year-old Miss View was discovered by a fellow teacher, who had grown concerned when she failed to attend her morning class. At 10:00, authorities were alerted to the incident. Police, along with rescue officers and a medical team from Krabi Hospital, arrived at the scene, a two-storey wooden house located in the Krabi Yai district. Miss View was found on her bed, covered by a blanket, with no visible signs of injury. Authorities believe she had been dead for at least 8 to 10 hours. There was no indication of foul play, and the room showed no signs of forced entry or ransacking. According to a colleague, the victim was last seen around 21:00 on 17 February, when she was in good spirits, chatting with her fellow teachers before heading home for the night. When she did not appear for her class the next morning, her colleague went to check on her. After knocking on the door with no response, they forced entry and found the teacher unresponsive. The police are awaiting take statements from the deceased’s family and close colleagues. A full autopsy will be conducted to determine if Miss View had any underlying health conditions. -- 2025-02-19 -

Bibas family bodies are set to be returned, this is going to be a real sicko staged event by the terrorists. "Hamas executed a mother and her two children in cold blood. This is barbarism. Israel has every right to finish the job and eradicate these terrorists from the face of the earth." https://x.com/HouseForeignGOP/status/1891863133301485982 -

Future Uncertain for Retiree Bank Accounts in Thailand
AN composite for reference only ANALYSIS While most tourists in Thailand enjoy their holidays without needing a bank account, some are encountering difficulties when trying to open one. Currently, there is no outright ban on Thai banks opening accounts for foreign nationals. Still, recent government efforts to curb call centre scams and the volatile cryptocurrency market have posed significant challenges. New regulations slated for April 2025 will require biometric authentication, like facial recognition, for opening accounts. Each account will also need to be linked to a single registered device. These rules may aid short-term tourists in opening accounts if they can show valid reasons, such as property purchases or applying for long-term visas. For those facing hurdles, alternatives exist. Some embassies continue to offer income verification, even if funds are not transferred to Thailand, and may issue letters of guarantee for various nationalities. Wealthier expats can explore visa options like the Elite or Long-Term Residence visas, which don't initially demand Thai bank accounts. The Destination Thailand Visa, available at select embassies, offers multiple ways to prove the required 500,000 baht (approximately £12,000). Each visa has pros and cons, so personal research is key. For a temporary solution, a border run might suffice. This allows a visa-exempt entry for 60 days, extendable by 30 days at local immigration for 1,900 baht (around £45) with proper paperwork. However, ensure compliance with address registration (TM30) and 90-day notifications (TM47) to avoid fines. Although not a long-term strategy, it can be a stopgap while awaiting clearer banking policies. Looking ahead, other government agencies could confirm expat income. Registering with the Thai Revenue Department (TRD) and submitting tax returns on overseas transfers might provide receipts that help open bank accounts. These receipts include official government logos, offering credible documentation. Not all expats need to report to the TRD. Those who find it necessary to get a tax ID for overseas transfers may find this approach viable for obtaining a Thai bank account. The retiree permit system, particularly the "O" non-immigrant visa with annual extensions, has stayed largely unchanged for 30 years, except for increased cash requirements. Given the changing landscape, assuming it will remain the same for decades is likely optimistic, writes Barry Kenyon for Pattaya Mail. -- 2025-02-19 -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
Thanks. One more question. Will they give me a new paper stapled in my passport with a new report date of 1- year from re-entry?
