Bangkok Building Collapse: Rescue Teams Hunt for 72 Missing Workers
As usual in Thailand, the 'authorities' - and Thais in general - are better at picking up the pieces after a disaster than at preventing a disaster in the first place. We all see this on the roads every day of the year. -

Phuket Prepares for Alcohol-Free Songkran Festivities on April 13
Interesting how it's all sunshine and rainbows in English media for this years Phuket songkran with no mention or media attention given to the 4 terrorists recently stopped in Phang nga trying to bring 4 AK's into Phuket. Thai language media is full of it. Or maybe I missed it: https://www.naewna.com/local/871683 Announcement of the arrest of 4 suspects who stash war weapons in a car, 1 of 4 linked to a group of unrest in the southern border provinces On March 23, 2025, Pol. Col. Somchai Sue-tor-trakul, Commander of Phang-nga Provincial Police, announced the arrest of four Thai men who traveled from the southern border provinces with weapons of war hidden in their car, heading to Phuket (read related news: Arrest of four suspects traveling from the southern border to Phuket, hiding weapons of war in their car) . From questioning, it was found that the four suspects traveled together. After this, the firearms will be sent for examination at Forensic Science Center 10, as the weapons were brought from the southern border provinces. The center will have all the information to quickly verify whether the weapons were ever used in crimes in the southern border provinces. While from the initial investigation, the suspect stated that he received the gun from Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province and was paid 70,000 baht to deliver it to the coordinates that the employer would notify when arriving in Phang Nga Province. However, he was arrested before receiving the coordinates to place the item. Currently, the police of Regions 8 and 9 are conducting an in-depth investigation to see if it is related to the southern border insurgency movement or other crimes. The news report said that one of the four suspects has a history of being in a southern border insurgency group. The targets are expected to be in Phang Nga and Phuket provinces. WARNING The National Intelligence Agency and the superintendent of Sakoo Provincial Police Station reported during a meeting that, earlier this March, police arrested a terrorist group—four Thai nationals—in Phang Nga province. One of them is a key operational leader, while the other three are subordinates. Their plan was to carry out terrorist attacks in Phuket. The National Intelligence Agency and the superintendent of Sakoo Police Station have issued a warning to be especially vigilant after March 28. Avoid crowded public areas such as: 1. Patong 2. Saphan Hin 3. Walking Streets 4. Any heavily populated areas There will be an increased number of security checkpoints and searches related to this situation. The terrorists are believed to be bringing explosives and firearms into Phuket. Relevant authorities are preparing countermeasures due to concerns over public safety. There is a fear that reinforcements may join the operation to fulfill their objectives during the upcoming Songkran Festival, when large gatherings are expected. It is advised to avoid areas with large crowds. -

Application for NON-O retirement (Chiang Mai)
That's the first report I've ever seen or heard of the "same-day-as-application" bank paperwork involving annual extensions here in Chiangmai. I do presume you're talking about an extension based on retirement and keeping 800k baht in the bank. And you only mention the bank letter.....weren't you also required to produce an annual statement showing you've maintained the 800/400k baht figures as required? -

UK Passport renewal - email received 'send us your passport' 2 weeks after applying?
Correct. Although they are part of the EEA, not that either fact makes a difference to the point I was trying to correct! -
