Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Here's the link . With the first three sentences from the article . Nice bit of editing you did to your post . *Rules are for other people , Palestinians can do what they want* Israel's war in Gaza grinds on, but opposition is growing. In recent weeks, thousands of Israeli reservists – from all branches of the military – have signed letters demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government stop the fighting and concentrate instead on reaching a deal to bring back the remaining 59 hostages being held by Hamas. Eighteen months ago, few Israelis doubted the war's logic: to defeat Hamas and return the hostages. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crldw5gklrro -

OAG spokesperson says Region 6 prosecutors drop charges against Paul Chambers over lese-maje
Royal insult charges against American dropped Pictures courtesy of Matichon Thailand’s state prosecutor has decided not to prosecute American academic Paul Chambers, who faced charges last month for insulting the royal family and violating the computer crimes act. Arrested on a complaint by the army, Chambers was confronted with the possibility of 15 years in jail, sparking a backlash within Thailand and criticism from the US State Department. The decision to drop charges comes as the Office of the Attorney General requested Chambers' release from the Phitsanulok court. The prosecutor also plans to consult with the police force about this conclusion. Paul's ordeal included a day in pre-trial detention, weeks wearing an ankle bracelet, and the cancellation of his Thai work visa with restrictions on leaving the country. The charges dated back to remarks in a blurb for an online seminar in which Chambers participated, published by a research institute outside Thailand. His lawyer, Wannaphat Jenroumjit, sees the prosecutor’s swift action as a means to lessen the harm suffered by Chambers. An appeal concerning Chambers’ visa cancellation is underway, but a decision from the immigration bureau remains pending. This decision highlights ongoing tensions concerning freedom of expression in Thailand and underscores the challenging circumstances surrounding lèse-majesté laws. The case drew international attention, particularly from human rights advocates and foreign diplomats concerned about legal repercussions for academic freedom and the broader implications on expression in a digital age.

Nong Khai 2nd Border Crossing in 2025....Big Boss meeting.
... or DTV - the best option if under 50. There is a "smoother" way at some entry points, via agent-services. Airports have the "safe entry" option, and agent-vans which do runs to Cambodia plus one around Chiang Mai. I also recall reports of a "fee" for same day in/outs to Malaysia. -

So many food item prices continue to increase every few weeks
The price has increased similarly here in Germany, if not even more (sometimes it is double what I am used to), due to the very bad Cacao harvests. Like the Coffee somebody quoted before, this has nothing to do with Thai greed.
