Report Thailand to Verify 700,000 Foreigner-Registered Phone Numbers for Mobile Banking Use
Picture courtesy of Thai Rath Brace yourselves, foreign mobile users in Thailand! A sweeping verification is in motion, targeting 700,000 mobile numbers registered since January 1, 2022. The checks, ordered by Thailand’s minister of digital economy and society, Prasert Jantararuangtong, could lead to the termination of mobile banking services unless certain criteria are met. The Thai government plans to scrutinise names linked to these mobile numbers and their mobile banking accounts. The aim is to clamp down on technology-related crimes by ensuring that the names on mobile banking services align perfectly with those on corresponding phone registrations. A striking 1.8 million numbers currently lack registration, adding to the urgency of these checks. Introduced on February 1, this regulation requires mobile banking service users to have their information sorted by April 30—this very Wednesday. Failure to comply could see their mobile banking services suspended come June. Banks have been instructed to communicate directly with customers whose numbers don’t match up, urging them to update their registration information promptly. Those who don't receive such outreach can continue with their banking activities without worry. This initiative throws a spotlight on Thailand's stringent efforts to stamp out technology crimes, tightening the noose around inconsistent mobile-registration pairs. As the deadline looms, affected users should act fast to avoid disruptions in their digital banking life. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-04-28 -

At a Crossroads: How Democrats Are Struggling to Find Their Voice Against Trump
Sanders, AOC, Walz are speaking to sell out crowds, many of whom are Republicans. Buttigieg is making regular appearances on rightwing TV shows speaking directly to Republican voters.

Controlling hunger
Skipping breakfast is never a good idea and is one reason so many end up overweight. Going from the evening before to the next lunch has people not getting enough for for the day's energy needs, and then they over compensate by eating too much for that dinner, and if it's before bed, a lot gets stored, which leads to weight gain over time. There are many people who are slim to their old ages, but that doesn't mean they are healthy. I know of many that are skinny and have diabetes. In a poor country, it isn't as much as knowing how to eat but having enough money for food, and looking at the normal Thai diet, which is mainly rice, this catches up to many when they hit their 40's, and if you look around during the day, there are a lot more overweight locals now than before, and the amount is increasing every year. They aren't nutrition experts by any means and the amount of junk food they eat and feed their children shows they are adopting bad eating habits from the west and the obesity level is steadily catching up to the west. You might see a few 40+ women here that are slim, as many still are hard working farmers who eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, and work all day long, but for every one you see slim, there are 3 that are overweight. -
