Report Thailand Cracks Down on Foreign Students Working Illegally
Minister Supamas Isarabhakdi. File photo courtesy of NXPO The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) is clamping down on foreigners exploiting short courses as a way to work illegally in Thailand. As of now, all educational institutions are required to submit detailed curricula for their short courses to ensure compliance with these new regulations. Minister Supamas Isarabhakdi emphasised that the measures are intended to align foreign students with legal standards and existing agreements with the Immigration Bureau. Institutions wanting to offer short courses will now face stringent scrutiny. They need to prove their expertise, competence in instruction, and present clear learning outcomes. Each course must ensure 60% of learning is onsite with no more than 40% online, assuring robust Thai educational standards are maintained. Detailed course information is mandatory, including various academic and logistical details like course name, duration, and student qualifications. Aside from academic accreditation, institutions must also manage administrative responsibilities related to foreign students. This includes issuing certificates and securing temporary residence permits strictly based on the course's needs, limited to 180-day periods. Institutions are also tasked with maintaining detailed records and reporting to MHESI, including student attendance and academic progress, ensuring transparency and lawful compliance. Failure to adhere to these regulations could lead to course cancellations enforced by MHESI. Minister Supamas expressed confidence that these guidelines will enhance Thailand’s reputation in the international education sector, offering a transparent and efficient system that attracts foreign learners while preventing illegal employment practices. In summary, these initiatives mark a significant push towards integrating foreign students into Thailand's educational framework legally and ethically. By enforcing these measures, Thailand hopes to foster an environment of trust and excellence for international students seeking learning opportunities within the country.

Which bank has the best current account
Impossible to tell for sure without clicking through the different options, so this is just guesswork. It is my understanding that Activate refers to a new card that has not been activated. Greyed out implies that your card has been activated, meaning, the issue is elsewhere. I would click through the Lock/Unlock and Change Limits options and see what the settings are and if they need adjustments. Or even the Suspend option (in case your card is in Suspend=YES state and needs to be unsuspended). All else fails, you're right, it may take a trip to a branch, but I'm sure one way or another you'll be able to get your card to work. Btw, hearing about all of the CC and ATM card scams it's probably a good idea to keep your card in a locked state, and only unlock it briefly when you are using it. -

News of George Floyd’s victim might get a pardon, creates shock waves…
anyone on here justifying his death is a racist, plain and simple. That is in your opinion. Personally, I believe that anyone that does not agree with my posts is a nonce. My feelings have nothing to do with this post nor do I have any evidence supporting my belief but please do feel free to continue disagreeing with me. -

Crime Tycoon Premchai and 16 Others Face Arrest Over Deadly Bangkok Building Collapse
File photo courtesy of MGR online BANGKOK - Premchai Karnasuta, the famed construction magnate, finds himself engulfed in legal turmoil once more, as the Criminal Court green-lights arrest warrants for him and 16 others. Central to this controversy is the dramatic collapse of the 2.1-billion-baht State Audit Office building in Bangkok, a casualty of the 7.7-magnitude earthquake that shook central Myanmar on March 28. This tragic event left 92 dead, nine injured, and four unaccounted for. The charges, which cast a shadow over Premchai, 71, and his fellow suspects, relate to professional negligence causing death per sections 227 and 238 of the Criminal Code. Amongst those facing scrutiny are engineers, supervisors, and contractors from a trinity of organisations: design firms such as Forum Architect and Meinhardt Thailand, construction supervisory firms, and the ITD-CREC joint venture boasting notable names like Italian-Thai Development Plc and China Railway No.10 Thailand. Alarm bells rang for investigators, revealing the building's design as non-compliant with vital safety standards. Structural defects in the core lift shaft coupled with substandard materials like concrete and steel sealed the building's fate. Leading this meticulous probe, Pol Maj Gen Somkhuan Phuengsap, deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, advocated for these latest judicial moves on Tuesday. Premchai is no stranger to courtrooms, having been previously sentenced by the Supreme Court in December 2021 to a three-year-two-month prison stint for illegal hunting activities in Thungyai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary dating back to February 2018. Now, his past crimes stand juxtaposed against this new headline-grabbing predicament, revealing the magnitude of his legal woes. This wave of actions signifies a stern reminder of liability within the construction industry, triggering a closer look at safety protocols and professional integrity. The unfolding drama demands answers, with an emphasis on justice for the lives tragically lost. As authorities unravel this complex web, the implications could resonate far and wide, warranting a review of the construction industry's safeguarding measures in Bangkok.
