4 Pattaya teenagers arrested for brutally attacking and robbing Belgian man
Photo via MGR Online By Petch Petpailin Police arrested four Thai teenagers yesterday, for brutally assaulting and robbing an 80 year old Belgian man in Pattaya on Christmas Eve, December 24. A 38 year old Thai woman, Phonthip, alerted officers from Mueang Pattaya Police Station and rescuers to assist the injured Belgian man, identified as 80 year old Richard Ander M. Van Bogaert, at a village in the Banglamung district of Pattaya. Bogaert sustained a deep cut to his head and had 7,000 baht in cash stolen. Officers reviewed security camera footage and identified four suspects arriving at the scene on two motorcycles. The group immediately approached Bogaert, attacked him, and fled with the stolen cash. The suspects were identified as 15 year old Arm, Crepe, and New, and 18 year old Ton. All four were apprehended yesterday at a rented room in the Banglamung district and police confiscated a 22-inch knife, clothing, and two motorcycles which were used in the crime. The teenage suspects confessed to their actions, stating they had no personal conflict with the victim and were only seeking money. They admitted to using the stolen cash to compensate a car owner after Arm damaged the car in a motorcycle accident. The suspects claimed they did not intend to cause serious injury and stated that, after the Belgian national refused to hand over his belongings, Crepe struck him on the head with a knife. They explained that the deep cut occurred accidentally when the knife’s sheath slipped off. After committing the crime, the teenagers reportedly rode their motorcycles to the beach and spent some time there before returning home, where they were later apprehended. Under Thailand’s Criminal Law, suspects aged 20 and above face imprisonment of five to ten years and a fine of 100,000 to 200,000 baht for committing theft through assault and using a vehicle to facilitate the crime. However, since these suspects are under 20 years old, their penalties will differ depending on the court’s consideration. Many Thai citizens called for young offenders to be treated the same as adults, arguing that the violent nature of their actions is comparable to those of adult criminals.

I'm confused - Using a Visa Agent
If u already have a bank account ( not mean have 800,000 but 2,000 or so) and a non o visa, 25,000 is way to much> TVC charges 18,000 and u send them ur passport, they get ur 1 year extension and send it back to you> You than file a new tm 30 where ever u live and do ur own 90 day reports or they will do them for 500 baht -

DTV visa extension
This is a common tactic on this forum - for many years. It's a common pattern in disinformation - first deny it's happening, then later admit it is, and always was, but claim it is really a "good" thing. Preferring illusions to reality has been documented since Plato - a "feature" of the majority of people. Even when it happens to them, many have a Stockholm-Syndrome type response - their deference to "authority" suppressing even their own direct-experience. Best to just ignore such talk - and thank you for posting real-world situation, so people can avoid the same pitfalls. -

Thailand Eases Alcohol Sale Rules at Major Airports
Yes, they're gone - a really poorly thought-out idea that will accomplish pretty much nothing. No and no. I've never been clear on what exactly this measure was meant to address, since even convenience stores at international airports were already exempt from the alcohol sales hours restrictions. Did the 7-11s have to halt sales on that small number of religious days? Maybe, but getting rid of that wouldn't seem to merit this grand announcement. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Just for additional info: That 6.25 mill is broken down elsewhere in a separate article, in it says that circa 4 mill were for refunds, leaving circa 3 mill of what have become known as null returns. But let's not lose sight of the main point here. In 2023 there were 11.9 mill tax filers. In 2020 there were 9.55 mill. in the tax system, the numbers of people registered for tax and therefore identifiable by TRD, has been increasing, it's not as though the numbers of people in the tax net are static. -
