Economy Thailand Plans 10-Year Tourist Visa and 99-Year Land Lease to Boost Economy
Good post! The renewal process in my "neck of the woods" takes a bit longer than that, but the annoying thing is having to provide the same information (in duplicate) year after year after year e.g. Copy of Marriage Licence, copy of all pages of Passport etc etc. This year I managed to get the number of photocopies required down to about 130!!! -

Accident Construction Worker Trapped After Falling Into Deep Pit at Bangkok Subway Site
UPDATE Worker Trapped After Ground Collapse at Construction Site in Bangkok Picture from responders. Rescue operations are still underway, but as of 16:00 responders have still been unable to locate the missing worker. The incident occurred while a group of seven to eight workers were on site. According to a co-worker, 41-year-old Mr Chat, the victim was tightening bolts to shut down machinery for the lunch break when the ground suddenly gave way beneath him, causing him to fall into the deep excavation. The collapse was triggered by a soil slide, which has continued to hinder rescue efforts. In response, authorities have deployed a backhoe to reinforce the edges of the construction pit, attempting to prevent further landslides. To secure the area, steel sheet piles measuring 16 metres in length will be installed on all sides of the pit to stabilise the ground and prevent additional soil from sliding in. One worker who in the initial stages, abseiled into the pit using a rope system, was able to descend around 10 metres. He attempted to clear some of the compacted soil to create breathing space for the trapped worker, but the sticky, clay-like nature of the earth made the task extremely difficult and limited the descent. Mr Phet Phumma, Director of Pom Prap Sattru Phai District Office, acting as Incident Commander, said that rescue strategies will be adapted to the evolving situation. He confirmed plans to install steel sheet piles around the entire pit to prevent further collapse. He also acknowledged that the subsoil consists mainly of clay and sand, making the area highly susceptible to subsidence. The rescue effort involves multiple agencies, including the Bangkok Fire and Rescue Service, Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, USAR Thailand, and several volunteer and support networks. All teams are working to locate and rescue the missing worker. Adapted by Asean Now 2025-05-19.
