Retirement extension
Jomtien probably has the worst clientele of any immigration office in the country and cannot be taken as a benchmark. I am in the same province but use a different office and the difference is quite substantial. The combo requires the income and funds to be presented in a recognised manner, something that some seem to find difficult which in turn frustrates the IO. -

Thailand Balances Booze Ban with Tourism on Buddhist Holy Days
File photo for reference only Thailand's Alcoholic Beverage Board has decided to maintain the ban on alcohol sales during five major Buddhist holy days, but with some exceptions to support tourism. The new rules are expected to start before Visakha Bucha Day on May 11. Chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Economy and Society, Prasert Chantararuangthong, a meeting took place at the Government House on March 4. The ban will stay, but alcohol sales will be allowed in certain locations like international airports, designated tourist areas, hotels, and venues hosting major events. “This plan supports tourism while keeping order,” Prasert explained. He added that the Ministry of Public Health and Ministry of Interior will enforce the rules to prevent underage drinking and ensure public safety. The affected holy days are Makha Bucha Day, Visakha Bucha Day, Asarnha Bucha Day, Khao Phansa Day, and Ok Phansa Day. Alcohol sales will be permitted under strict conditions in: - International airports for departing passengers. - Licensed tourist area venues. - Hotels under the Hotel Act. - Approved venues hosting major events. Moreover, the board is studying the potential legalization of online alcohol sales. Prasert clarified that the prohibition periods can't change yet due to Revolutionary Council Announcement No. 253, which governs alcohol sale and consumption hours. Regulatory amendments are underway. Public input will be sought over a 15-day period on an official website before submitting the final proposal to the Minister of Public Health. If approved, it will go to the prime minister for signing and publication in the Royal Gazette. "We expect these rules to be in place by May 11," Prasert mentioned. This decision illustrates Thailand’s effort to respect religious traditions while catering to international tourists and the hospitality sector, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-03-04 -

US Halts Military Aid to Ukraine Amid Push for Peace Talks
He'd clearly rather just take the cold hard cash. A bit like when I gave my sister-in-law a car to take her kids to school and she said "Can't you just sell it and give me the money?" 😄 -

US Halts Military Aid to Ukraine Amid Push for Peace Talks
Why should he be "forced" to do any negotiations for his Country's natural resources? Just Trump steamrollering as usual but getting it ALL wrong.
