Decide on evacuation, says PM

Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, has advised Thais living in Israel to make a decision about leaving the country right away, citing international worries about the situation there and the fact that 30 Vietnamese people have then died.

” I want those who are confused to decide as soon as possible because the risk is yours.” The government must make every effort to remove people since quickly and safely as possible if you want to return, Mr. Srettha stated yesterday in Beijing.

The most recent review of another Thai death in Israel, bringing the total to 30, he said, saddened him. At 16, the number of injured people remained the same, and at 17, there were kidnappings.

Mr. Srettha claimed to have spoken with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who expressed shock at the number of Thai life lost in Israel.

The damage is the second-highest after the US, according to the prime minister, despite Thailand not being a conflicting party. He traveled to Beijing to enter the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in China.

According to Mr. Srettha, when he met with other regional leaders in Beijing, they were all worried about Israel’s position. He claimed that although the Thai authorities was able to remove 600 Vietnamese staff from Israel every day, it was challenging to bring that many people together at once given the current situation.

An Airbus air power left Bangkok on its next flight yesterday morning to pick up Thais in Israel. Now, the 340-500 is expected to return with 145 residents.

The air pressure will carry on the operation through the end of this month, according to ACM Phanpakdee Pattanakul, the commander of the force.

162 Thai employees boarded Israel Airlines’ fifth aircraft, flight LY085, at 7.05 p.m. on Tuesday, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to a cause, Thai Airways carried 266 additional Thai workers back to the nation yesterday at 4:45 am on aircraft TG8951.

According to the Department of Mineral Resources, an eel coal discovered in Nakhon Ratchasima in 2005 has been identified as being of a different species than those found in the United States and China.

A native of the Non Sung area discovered the fossilized bones, which are made up of a skull, two incisors, and five other fragments. He alerted the department.

Under two meters of shallow sediment, the legs were discovered.

The bones, which have been carbon-dated to roughly 230, 000 years ago — commonly referred to as the Pleistocene period — were then identified by the department with the assistance of a group of German researchers. & nbsp,

The bones were compared by the experts to known specimens of Alligator jasmine, which are widespread in China, and endemic to the United States.

They came to the conclusion that the eel from which the bones originated was probably a different local types.

The team’s findings were recently published in Scientific Reports, a peer-reviewed blog associated with Nature, according to Thitiphan Chuchanchot, assistant commander of the Department of Mineral Resources.

According to Mr. Thitiphan, the bones were discovered in the Mun River valley, so we gave the animal the name Alligator munensis, a guide to the location of its initial discovery.

Alligators are currently only found in the United States and China, where they run the risk of going extinct, according to Kantapon Suraprasit, a researcher with the Centre of Excellence for the Morphology of Earth Surface and Advanced Geohazards in Southeast Asia( MESA CE ).

It is unknown how the two types diverged from their shared father, but some experts think they must have both descended from the same species, an old alligator species that again roamed the Yangtze and Mekong-Chao Phraya river basins.

Two veteran Bangkok Post photographers pass away

Two veteran Bangkok Post photographers pass away
In 1964, the Bangkok Post hired Kamthorn Sermkasemsin( put ) and Jarin Trakullertsathien for the start of their lengthy jobs.

The Bangkok Post has experienced a terrible week as two seasoned general photographers passed away due to disease.

Kamthorn Sermkasemsin, 86, passed away on Sunday after battling a protracted condition in the hospital.

Jarin Trakullertsathien, another 86-year-old fellow, passed away early on Tuesday. At the time, he was moreover receiving medical care in a hospital.

Both were seasoned photography who worked for the Bangkok Post when it had its headquarters on Ratchadamnoen Avenue. In contrast to today’s online and suddenly accessible photographs, it was a time when rolls of film had to be created.

Both joined the Post as photographers on October 1, 1964, as luck would have it, and it seems as though their profession were intertwined.

In 1968, Kamthorn was appointed Chief Photographer. Jarin was given more duty when he was elevated to Assistant Picture Editor in 1983, which also included promotion to photo editor.

Kamthorn was appointed Chief News Editor in 1986, but after 24 years of employment with the Post, he left in 1988. Jarin was appointed Chief Photographer in 1988 as a result of Kamthorn’s surrender, and he held that position until his retreat in 1997. He spent 33 years working at the Post.

Both gentlemen had different leadership styles, according to Sayant Pornnantharat, a previous Chief Photographer at the Post who worked for both of them.

Kamthorn was an expert at organizing and had a good sense of what kind of images would best capture an event or history. Before they left on an assignment, he had simple photographers.

They were sent out to take the photo once if they didn’t get what was assigned, according to Mr. Sayant.

He claimed Jarin was a more subdued leader who was honest, trustworthy, and committed to the team’s job.

Up until Friday, Kamthorn’s worship ceremonies may be held at Wat Thepsirin, Sala 4. On Saturday at 2 p.m., there will be a death meeting. In accordance with his desires, Jarin has donated his brain to Siriraj Hospital.

The Bangkok Post news, specifically its photography, will regrettably miss both people.

Thaksin Shinawatra, a former prime minister who is currently imprisoned, has been urged by the Ministry of Justice to halt bestowing special privileges on him. The organization is known as the Network of Students and People Reforming Thailand.

Days after returning from 15 years of self-imposed captivity on August 22, Thaksin was taken to the hospital from Bangkok Remand Prison. Prior to 2006, while serving as top, he was given an eight-year jail term that was later reduced to one time by a royal pardon for abuse of power and conflict of interest.

Last month, a picture of Thaksin being taken for an MRI test went viral on social media. Officials claimed that he was immediately taken back to his room. Officials from the Department of Corrections and medical staff at the hospital have declined to discuss the prisoner’s condition, citing calm confidentiality.

Thaksin, 74, is renowned for having high blood pressure, heart and respiratory issues, and another aging-related illnesses. According to his daughter Paetongtarn, he underwent surgery last quarter for an unidentified state.

The requirements of the protesters are directed at Phongsaward Neelayodhin, the everlasting minister of justice, who will soon have to determine whether Thaksin can continue to receive care outside of a prison hospital.

Any be longer than 30 days may be approved by the director general of the Department of Corrections based on a medical mind under the rules governing criminal payments to outdoor facilities. The decision was made on September 22.

The permanent secretary for Justice must approve the treatment if it lasts longer than 60 days, or after Oct. 22 in Thaksin’s event. If a course of treatment lasts longer than 120 time, the justice minister must approve it.

Another group representative, Nazer Yihma, stated that the ministry would be forced to ascend to the hospital’s 14th floor to determine whether Thaksin was actually poorly or not if it did not answer its call.

The team will then appeal the National Anti-Corruption Commission to look into Ms. Phongsaward for dereliction of duty if she doesn’t answer the call, he continued.

A 19-year-old student who was tricked into paying for an phone 13 that she never received is thought to have committed suicide by hanging, and authorities are preparing to file an arrest warrant for them.

According to a police investigation, the Mathayom 6 ( Grade 12 ) student had used Facebook to get in touch with the” Hannah” mobile phone shop.

However, investigations revealed that the store was false, and the website provided a false tackle for Chiang Rai’s Mae Sai area.

The woman, who resided in the southern state of Nakhon Si Thammarat, was tricked into paying for an iPhone 13 and forced to make installment payments for various expenses.

The woman ultimately paid 18,500 baht in full. The funds were sent to the ghost purchase through a bank account that was registered with the name Dokkaew Kewjerm. Since then, the bill has been frozen.

Additionally, the victim was duped into making a” guarantee” payment of an additional 2, 000 baht.

The woman sent the final payment and didn’t get a call, according to the officers, when she realized she was being duped. She tried in vain to get in touch with the seller through a Line talk class but was unsuccessful.

She was so stressed out that she feared her relatives had chastise her for borrowing money from two school associates to purchase a unit they couldn’t afford.

She expressed her frustration with the strain she was experiencing in her last talk message with her friends. Her companions suspected something was wrong and called her home when the child’s information abruptly stopped.

On Monday, the woman hanged herself at her residence in the Pak Phanang neighborhood of Nakhon Si Thammarat’s tambon Koh Thuad.

According to Pol Lt Gen Worawat Watnakhonbancha, the CCIB chief, Koh Thuad police transferred the case to the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau( CCIB ) on Tuesday after the victim’s parents complained online.

Within two weeks, the offenders should be apprehended, according to the authorities. To challenge arrest warrants, information has already been gathered.

The Division 5 captain, Pol Maj Gen Charin Kopatta, claimed that the mob had four pony bank accounts, one in Chaiyaphum and the others in Chiang Rai.

According to police, the woman’s cash transfers were sent to a bank in the border city of Tachileik in Myanmar from Chiang Rai.

When Ms. Dokkaew, the owner of the horse account that received the girl’s bills, was questioned by authorities in Chaiyaphum, she denied having any connections to the band.

She asserted that she was unaware that the bill had been opened using her personal information, including her citizenship ID cards.

The 27-year-old user of the phone company” Family” in Nakhon Sawan complained to the local authorities on Wednesday after discovering the con artists had used the store’s symbol on their website.

Digital payouts may result in” irreversible financial damage ,” which is illegal.

Party wants court to suspend B500bn govt handout

Due to its potential effects on the financial system, the Thai Pakdee Party requested on Wednesday that the Administrative Court halt the president’s digital currency release, which had cost the state more than 500 billion ringgit.

Warong Dechgitvigrom, the chairman of Thai Pakdee, filed the petition and argued that the court should carefully consider the plan because it could have a permanent effect on the financial, economic, and budgetary systems. & nbsp,

The coalition-core Pheu Thai Party’s premier policy is the 10, 000-baht electronic handout. Concerns about the plan and its potential effects on the country’s budget were voiced by competitors.

Events, according to Dr. Warong, questioned how the government could obtain the release and why it was made in a digital money that Thai financial law did not support rather than fiat money.

99 seasoned economists and former Bank of Thailand governors had signed their names in opposition to the plan, which, according to Dr. Warong, could seriously harm the nation’s economic and fiscal systems and result in a significant budgetary burden.

According to him, the state may avoid any populist policies that could harm the public and the national economy over the long term.

Pisit Leeahtam, a former deputy finance minister from the Democrat Party, was one of the plan’s detractors. He claimed that it would be sufficient for the authorities to spend around 100 billion ringgit to aid 10 million impoverished people.

According to Mr. Pisit, the 560 billion baht digital currency release was excessively expensive and an inappropriate use of the national budget for all Thais 16 years of age and older.

Additionally, he claimed that using cryptocurrencies was susceptible to corruption and could not ensure accountability.

Due to the fact that there were 54.8 million Thais who were at least 16 years old, according to deputy finance minister Julapun Amornvivat, the flyer could charge up to 548 billion ringgit.

However, according to Mr. Julapun, the government had fixed requirements for eligibility, which would include their earnings.

The state was listening to opinions about the task, he said, and the online money handout was intended to boost the market. The program was still being finalized by the government, and it was anticipated to go into effect early the following year.
