Immigration problems with DTV?
I've had my LTR for almost 2 years now and still have issues sometimes with very long wait times while the officers process it. With the amount of flip-flopping and changes the government pushes on the immigration officers, I pity them. Not only do they have to navigate constantly changing and sometimes archaic rules and laws, they also have to deal with entitled people that think they shouldn't have to show certain requirements or even their visa in order to enter. -

Accident Surin: Crane Operator Electrocuted After Hitting High-Voltage Line
Picture courtesy of Naewna. A construction site incident has claimed the life of a 30-year-old man after a crane mounted on his truck made fatal contact with a high-voltage power line. The incident occurred at approximately 14:00 on 29 June, along Highway 215 between Tha Tum and Suwannaphum, in the Phon Khrok subdistrict of Tha Tum district, Surin Province. According to reports, the victim, Mr Phongsakorn Kanmalai, a native of Don Chedi district in Suphan Buri Province, was operating a 10-wheeled Isuzu flatbed truck equipped with a crane and used two extended stabiliser legs. The truck was loaded with steel and other construction materials for roadworks underway in the area. Tragedy struck when the crane, which Mr Kanmalai was using to offload materials, swung into a high-voltage overhead cable, resulting in an immediate and lethal electric shock. Emergency responders from the Asadindra Rescue Foundation’s Tha Tum branch were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, they found Mr Kanmalai’s body near the truck. He had suffered extensive burns to both arms and legs, consistent with high-voltage electrocution, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Mr Kamon Kanmalai, the victim’s 64-year-old uncle who witnessed the incident, said he had been standing nearby and tried to rush to help his nephew but was unable to reach him in time. He recounted that his nephew had been carefully manoeuvring the crane when it came into contact with the power lines overhead. Officers from Tha Tum Police Station, along with a forensic physician from Tha Tum Hospital, conducted an on-site investigation and the body was sent for an autopsy. Authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. Adapted by Asean Now from Naewna 2025-07-01 -

Report Cannabis Chaos: 12,000 Thai Shops Face Closure Under New Rules
A staff member arranges bongs at a cannabis shop after Thailand started banning the sale of cannabis to those without a prescription in Bangkok, Thailand, Friday, June 27, 2025. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) Thailand's cannabis industry is facing a seismic shift as new regulations threaten to shut down around 12,000 cannabis flower shops. The country's Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine (DTAM) has unveiled stringent rules requiring medical professionals to oversee cannabis sales, with these changes set to take effect by the year's end. Dr Somruek Chungsaman, Director-General of the DTAM, announced these sweeping reforms on 30 June 2025. The upcoming departmental notification will introduce a stricter prescription form, demanding the presence of specific medical professionals from fields like General Medicine, Thai Traditional Medicine, Dentistry, and others. The professionals must register their licence numbers on all prescriptions. Patient prescriptions must be detailed, including name, age, nationality, and diagnosis, and will be restricted to a 30-day supply. Initially, 15 conditions were specified, but these have been replaced by guidelines specific to each medical field. As it stands, only the Medical Council and Thai Traditional Medicine have established guidelines, leaving shops dependent on these practitioners for cannabis prescriptions.

(AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) Modern medical guidelines currently permit cannabis use for epilepsy, nausea and vomiting from cancer treatment, neuropathic pain, and muscle spasticity. Meanwhile, Thai Traditional Medicine includes symptoms such as headaches, nausea, appetite loss, and cancer-related pain. Dr Somruek emphasised that compliance is crucial, with shops required to obtain proper operating licences and adhere strictly to medical guidelines. Smoking cannabis on-site will be banned, and sales will only occur with a valid prescription from a designated professional. The industry is at a critical juncture. Shop owners must swiftly adapt, securing the necessary medical personnel and licences to navigate this regulatory landscape. Failure to comply could result in a massive wave of closures, reshaping the market entirely. This regulatory overhaul not only impacts businesses but also affects patients and users, who will now require verified prescriptions for access. The changes signal the government's intent to tighten control over cannabis use, emphasising medical supervision and regulated distribution. As the year progresses, the focus will be on how quickly shops can adjust to these regulations and what the broader implications will be for Thailand’s cannabis market. With significant hurdles ahead, stakeholders are scrambling to align with the new legal framework to avoid widespread shutdowns. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Nation 2025-07-01 -

Immigration problems with DTV?
Bumrungrad provided a sponsor letter to me and also the Vancouver Thai embassy/consulate. The DTV was approved in a couple of hours. But then again, I've spent almost 3m baht there in the last couple of years. YMMV of course.
