  1. Great news. Bit please let us know when he gets a verdict and sentence.
  2. Sorry this is an unrealistic and unachievable plan. Plan to be carbon neutral by 2100 and move Bangkok to Issan.
  3. I'm really ready for some cold, dry weather. No rain for November until May thank you very much....I'll drink bottles water in need be ????
  4. I didn't know that the Prime Minister of Estonia was a 'global leader'. I thought Estonia was a small (forgettable) Baltic nation with about 1 million people.
  5. A cutie by anyone's definition. She looks like she is seducing the poor policeman.
  6. The mother is totally wrong. Thai officials never, ever lie. They only;y ever tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Truth telling is ingrained in Thai officials.
  7. Human Rights Council?????? Surely not. But then again the US organised Saudi to be the chair a few years back, so I suppose anything is possible. Aren't you supposed to have functioning justice system for that?
  8. Trust isn't gained by words. Trust has to be earned, every day, by doing the right thing. More words and more corruption isn't going to help you 'gain trust'. You won't be able to trick people into trusting you.
  9. I've enjoyed both systems, monthly and semi-monthly. Semi-monthly is much better by far.
  10. Hahahaha. What a larf, eh? For doing no work? I'm very happy with this sensible decision and have a strong feeling that the good sense will be echoed by the appeals court. I would have thought that this was force majeure coming right after the 1997 financial meltdown in Asia.
  11. There are privacy issues around a patient's health records. Unless the man says ok stick them in the local newspaper the doctors are obliged to keep his health secret.
  12. Bob, my experience is one day at a time. Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. Remember you are only one drink away from starting drinking heavily again. Good luck man, sobriety is great.
  13. I read that an IO is requesting all extension seekers to fill out a form itemising every foreign transaction for this year 2023. I do hope that this is just a single office and is not a country wide thing and that they are not planning to retroact the taxation change to 2023.
  14. It was a slogan generated for overseas promotion of tourism some time back. It was somewhat mocked and came into vernacular language as a sort of ironic reference to the campaign.
  15. I guess this is what the woke nonsense is all about. Fake morality, fake rules. I don't do pronouns.
  16. I'll look forward to it especially when they ask for petrol money and I say 'mai mi satang'.
  17. Who will pick the new senators when the time comes in a few months? This will determine the future of Thailand. If MF are not included in this then Thailand has no future as a democracy.
  18. I believe Thailand has a tax treaty with the US that prevents double taxation. I receive tax credits in the US for all interest income earned here in Thailand. The money is withheld at source at a rate of 15%, but my marginal rate in the US is much higher than that, so I wind up paying 15% to Thailand and say 21% to the IRS. With FACTA it is difficult to cheat. I man I know, claimed to have gotten a rebate from the local Thai tax office on all his withheld taxes. He seemed legit and encouraged me to do the same, but I am lazy with bureaucratic things, so I never checked it out.
  19. Well that makes two I've heard of, you and the OP. Perhaps they are doing it to everybody except me. Now I feel left out ????
  20. I've heard of immigration officials visiting people on 'marriage visas', never retirement visas. The visits are usually followed by a request for money for gasoline, apparently.
  21. Lies but maybe they will keep you on ehe plane for a few hours before letting you disembark. I was so sick of waiting in lines that I now use the fast lane. At my time of life I cannot afford to wait around in queues., I might not have that much time left.
  22. IF it stops 90 day and TM 30 reports, I'm in.
