PM to look into extending tourist visas to 90 days
Good idea. But I have read on here that visas are very difficult to get in some jurisdictions. There was a case on here very recently where a British man was asked for proof of $10000 (?) in his bank account. He gave up in the end. They need to sort out rules which I/Os need to follow. Get rid of this nonsense where every immigration office interprets the rules in different ways. The only decent way of getting a 90 day tourist visa is to come into the country on a visa waiver then extend it at the immigration local office near to where you stay.

Time out of Thailand om Retirement/Marriage visa
AS far as I know, you can spend any amount of time out of the country but you have to extend your visa each year on or before its anniversary and if you don't your visa is cancelled. Note that if you are not in Thailand for 180 days or more, you cannot claim residency, which may be an issue for taxes in your home state or country. You 90 day report clock restarts every time you enter Thailand, so you don't need to worry about that.

Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand Promote Use of Local Currencies in Bilateral Transactions
I think you are missing the point.....this is the beginning of the process. But take a look at forecasts for 20 years hence, and BRICS will be a much bigger deal, and if Saudi ditches the petrodollar (which it will), the US loses its ability to finance its wars by printing money. The end is nigh.

Great news. Let's hope it spreads and the world rids itself of the weaponised dollar in ASEAN.

Thai Drivers Urged to Pay Overdue Traffic Fines by April or Face Multiple Penalities
Some are in my name as the registered owner of one of our cars. And it's overdue for registration because we are away from home. I'll send a b-i-l to sort it out.

Bangkok to Tokyo route to tempt Thai travellers
What you are seeing are the international evaluations which are used by major corporations to set their COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) rate. These evaluations include the cost of housing and motoring. When I moved here in 2009, the apartment cost was over $14000 a month, and my car was around $4000 a month; the dollar yen rate was just over 80, now it is 146, (and one baht is 4 yen). There has been minimal inflation in Japan in the intervening years and so everything is about half price compared to 2009. If I divide everything I but in yen by 4 to arrive at the baht equivalent, the place is amazingly cheap, but then again I'm not paying for accommodation or transport. No pics of menus, I am in my living room, and I don't seem to have any menus lying around. You don't have to believe me, your ignorance of the prices here is your loss, not mine.

Thai Drivers Urged to Pay Overdue Traffic Fines by April or Face Multiple Penalities
I didn't pay my tickets by April 1st. Indeed I haven't paid them yet. Will they get me when I do the annual registration? I'll send someone else as I usually do.

Bangkok to Tokyo route to tempt Thai travellers
I am in Tokyo as I type this. It is far cheaper than Thailand for the vast majority of things you buy eg food, restaurants, wine, even supermarket beer at 25 baht for 500ml. cheap as chips as the Aussies say. Roppongi is a bargain.

30-Year Sentence for "Boy Unity": False Pricing of Imported Lamborghini Cars Revealed
I think the police are using them to replace the BMW smart cars that haven't been used much for a couple of years. They are now called Smart Lambos and can catch overstayers very quickly. Watch out if you are from Liberia.

Dont know what to do, start over or fix it ?
Thank you for sharing your story, heartbreaking. I think you should look for someone else, then leave her if you can afford it. Even paying for a bit of affection is better than not having any at all.

TCC Outlines 3-Point Revival Plan for Thai Economy
Self-serving twaddle. Chinese are not coming because of their economy, not because of visa issues. Second, giving the companies in TCC more handouts won't improve the economy. Put money in poor peoples pockets, they spend all their money....but it's all given to the rich, who don't spend more because they have everything they could possibly want, or maybe spend it on a Ferrari or a yacht made abroad.

Does crashing birthrate and aging society spell doom for Thailand?
Many doctors and scientists now emerging in the US are implicating the COVID mRNA vaccine as the cause of this in the West. But Thailand mainly used the Sinovac vaccine on Thais, unfortunately for me, foreigners got the Pfizer vaccine, which poisoned me but didn't prevent COVID.
