What Would Make You Leave Thailand, Permanently?
Boredom to be honest I'd retired too early at 55, and after a few years I was bored outta my skull, only so many books you can read, TV to watch and I don't play golf! I tried to volunteer to teach English at the local HS, but of course ran into the Thai only thing, wasn't looking to get paid, which I think is the definition of 'work' My wife was already piss$$ed off with her job, a women engineer in Thailand who's smarter than the guys is always a problem So we figured it was time to go Still enjoy our time there, now as tourists couple of times a year -

Fire Fire in Computer Room at Nakornping Hospital, Chiang Mai — Patients Evacuated Safely
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. A fire broke out in the server room of the computer centre at Nakornping Hospital in Chiang Mai on the afternoon of 16 July, prompting emergency evacuations of patients and staff from Building 1 on Chotana Road, Mae Rim District. The blaze was first reported at approximately 13:30 when smoke was seen billowing from the hospital’s IT department. Hospital personnel, including nurses and stretcher staff, rushed to evacuate patients from nearby wards. Essential medical equipment was also hurriedly removed from the building during the operation. Initial attempts to extinguish the flames by staff using chemical fire extinguishers proved challenging, as thick smoke continued to fill the area. Fire crews in breathing apparatus, were able to extinguish the fire and remove the smouldering equipment to outside. PPV (positive pressure ventilation fans) were used to clear all smoke. By 16:00, the situation had been brought under control, and the hospital began transferring patients back into the building. No injuries or casualties were reported and normal hospital operations resumed shortly thereafter. Preliminary investigations point to a short circuit in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery unit within the server room as the likely cause of the fire. Authorities from the hospital and the Chiang Mai forensic science department are continuing their investigation to confirm the exact source of the ignition. Officials have confirmed that safety protocols were followed promptly and effectively, ensuring the wellbeing of patients and staff throughout the emergency.

Economy Thailand's Digital Baht Plan Targets Big-Spending Tourists
Picture courtesy of Business World Thailand is seizing the crypto trend by letting tourists spend their digital coins directly on everything from pad Thai to plush resorts. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Bank of Thailand (BoT) are introducing a crypto sandbox programme to enhance tourism and pump fresh cash into the local economy. On July 15, Anek Yuyuen, SEC's Deputy Secretary General, revealed that this initiative will enable visitors to transform their digital assets into Thai baht for smooth spending. “This project will help support economic recovery and strengthen our tourism sector,” Yuyuen stated. Tourists will create accounts with licensed digital operators under strict regulation from the SEC, transacting through e-money providers monitored by the BoT. Adherence to stringent anti-money laundering checks via Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols is mandatory for all. With a monthly spending cap of 50,000 baht on the Thai QR Code system, visitors can easily pay small merchants. Merchants who undergo additional verification can accept payments up to 500,000 baht per month. This sandbox initiative is a strategic move to position Thailand as a prime destination for digital asset enthusiasts. Holding the highest cryptocurrency ownership in Asia, Thailand ranks fifth globally. Recent data highlights the potential benefits: In 2024, Thailand welcomed 35.54 million tourists, generating 1.67 trillion baht. Despite recovery, these numbers are shy of the 1.91 trillion baht from 2019. Officials believe streamlined crypto spending could bridge this gap, according to The Nation. “This initiative is expected to enhance Thailand’s appeal for digital-savvy tourists,” Yuyuen explained, adding that public consultation will run until August 13. Merkle Capital's Investment Advisor, Woramet Chanseng, praised the sandbox as a step toward establishing Thailand as a digital asset hub. “The experiment opens the door for fresh capital inflows, increasing baht demand,” he commented. “It might also pave the way for a future digital baht.” Nevertheless, Woramet cautioned that hurdles such as complex verification processes for travellers and merchants persist. Should the sandbox succeed, officials anticipate Thailand will emerge as a major player in the global digital economy. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-17 -
