‘Wife for hire’: Inside Thailand’s shocking rental marriage trend
My rental always came in useful for minding the bags while I walked around looking for a place to stay. It was way cheaper renting in Pattaya and taking them to the islands. Many places on Thai beaches didn't have rentals available, and the ones in the town were far too expensive as scarcity increases prices. When I was working in Saudi I was able to afford Bkk Gogo rentals, but the UK isn't as lucrative to work in, so it was a stop off in Pattaya on the way south. . -

Rabbi's Murder Sparks Terror Alert for Israelis in Thailand

(Picture: Chabad via Times of Israel) In a chilling development, the Israeli National Security Council (NSC) has sounded an alarm over potential terror threats targeting Israelis and Jewish communities in Southeast Asia, with a special focus on Thailand. This grave warning follows the tragic murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, an influential figure within the UAE's Abu Dhabi Chabad community. The Rabbi's disappearance and subsequent death have escalated security concerns, casting a shadow over popular Israeli tourist spots in the region. Thailand, a gem among travel enthusiasts for its vibrant culture and idyllic landscapes, is now under heightened scrutiny following a suspected terror link to Rabbi Kogan’s untimely demise. The NSC's advisory comes with a slew of safety measures aimed at safeguarding Israeli nationals. Foremost, tourists are urged to steer clear of areas closely tied to Israeli and Jewish identities, focusing on heightened awareness in crowded venues and discreet behaviour to avoid becoming conspicuous. To further mitigate risks, the council advises against the public display of Israeli emblems and suggests maintaining a low digital profile by securing social media accounts and avoiding posts related to their itineraries. Israelis with military backgrounds are particularly cautioned to refrain from divulging such information online or in casual interactions. Israel's security agencies are reported to be actively working with global counterparts to neutralise this looming threat. Although the travel warning for Thailand remains at Level 2, prompting increased vigilance rather than a mass exodus, the tension is palpable. Israeli tourists should vigilantly steer clear of large gatherings, particularly those with known Israeli affiliations or entertainment events that could be potential targets. This alert is reminiscent of concerns raised on 12th November, where Thai police, anticipating potential terror activities at the renowned Full Moon party on Koh Phangan, drew stark attention. The island, known for its lively gatherings, was packed with Israeli visitors at the time, fostering fears of a possible attack. These troubling developments follow closely on the harrowing discovery of Rabbi Kogan’s lifeless body, sending shockwaves through both the Jewish community and broader public. His disappearance and subsequent murder serve as a stark reminder of the pervading risks and the necessity of remaining vigilant. In these uneasy times, maintaining an informed and cautious approach is paramount for Israelis in Southeast Asia. Should any threat or act of violence occur, individuals are urged to contact local authorities promptly. With proactive communication between Israeli security forces and international partners, efforts continue to defuse potential dangers swiftly, ensuring travellers' safety amid these unsettling circumstances reported The Yimes of Istrael. -- 2024-12-02 -

Alarming Formaldehyde Levels Found in E-Cigarette Liquids
File photo courtesy Freepik The Department of Disease Control (DDC) has raised alarms about the presence of formaldehyde in e-cigarette liquids illicitly sold within Thailand, warning that the chemical's aerosol form is carcinogenic. Phanumat Yannawetsakun, DDC director-general, highlighted the disturbing trend of low awareness among the youth about the health risks posed by toxic substances in vape juices. The increasing allure of flavoured e-liquids, designed to entice young users, often harbours toxins, notably formaldehyde. Once vaporised, formaldehyde presents a significant risk of being absorbed into the respiratory system, leading to cancer, alongside causing irritation to the eyes and skin. These findings have prompted serious concerns about the safety of vaping products currently available on the market. In light of these observations, the Royal College of Pediatricians Thailand, together with 13 other medical royal colleges, have made a resolute stand against any initiative intending to legalise vape products in Thailand. Their pronouncement coincided with National Public Health Day commemorations on November 27th. Dr Suphitcha Saengchot, representing the Royal College, cited a poignant example: an 11-year-old girl from Ubon Ratchathani experienced severe lung injury and pneumonia attributed to vaping habits. The young patient confessed to using vapes for six months, allured by the array of flavours readily available in local shops. The Royal College's report unveiled findings that e-cigarette marketers are strategically targeting younger demographics, from primary to secondary school students. The impact of nicotine from these devices is grave, potentially impairing brain development in children by diminishing efficiency by three to fourfold. Furthermore, it indirectly triggers the release of dopamine, escalating addiction risks, and fostering conditions like depression, ADHD, and even suicidal tendencies. A source revealed that the Network of Children and Youths Against E-cigarettes is vociferously campaigning against the House of Representatives' anticipated vote on December 12 regarding a proposal to legalise vapes. The group plans to deliver their petition, backed by supportive signatures, to the House Speaker on December 8. "We are striving for stronger protection for the future generations," stated the group, urging Members of Parliament to prioritise public health over political agendas seeking to legitimise a hazardous commodity. The group remains steadfast in its vision to protect young Thais from the dangers posed by e-cigarettes, advocating for their health and well-being above all, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-12-02 -
