Thailand video news | Foreigners warned against moving to Thailand without a financial safety net, Phuket teen Nene Royal rocks her way into America’s Got Talent live shows

Thailand's government is warning foreigners against moving to the country without a financial safety net, as some newcomers underestimate the costs of living and may quickly run out of savings. Viajero, a Western content creator, advises foreigners to secure reliable income, maintain an emergency fund, and set a clear point for reconsidering their plans.

In response to a deadly school shooting in Nonthaburi, Thailand has rolled out nationwide school safety measures, including creating "School Safety Zones," establishing safety centres, tightening checks for weapons, and implementing emergency procedures. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has also urged politicians and public figures to leave their guns at home, as carrying a firearm in public may violate the law and raise ethical concerns.

The government has halted renewals for several firearm licence categories and is working on tougher gun-control legislation. Meanwhile, six foreign tourists required rescue at Nai Thon Beach in Phuket after ignoring red warning flags and entering dangerous waters. The incident underscores the ongoing risks along Phuket's beaches during rough weather.
