More than 200 complaints have been received by a watchdog group from service members across all branches of the US armed forces regarding US military commanders invoking extremist Christian rhetoric about biblical “end times” to justify involvement in the Iran war to troops. Apparently Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/03/us-israel-iran-war-christian-rhetoric

Strange - I was also at CW last Thursday (18-12) to extend my marriage visa and got the usual letter from BKK Bank there with no mention of the a/c been locked. I had previously read about this and when the girl at the bank asked me to sign a form for the letter I got my wife to translate the declaration I was signing, no mention of any a/c locking. My wife even asked the bank cashier who told her they never do that, As I said - very strange. Maybe because the a/c I used was a FC a/c.?

This appears quite a useful, free little boycotting tool - https://madeometer.com/

On more than one occasion I have transferred GBP from my BKK Bank GDB FX a/c to a GBP a/c in the UK without any currency conversion.

On last nights news, can't recall which channel, Trump is now demanding an additional 92% import tax on Italian pasta, bring it to a total rate of 107%. Personally I feel the the EU should have used China's example when dealing with Trump. It was quite obvious that Trump was never going to honour his "deal" with the EU and would be constantly coming back with further demands. In my (and many others) opinion not someone to be trusted!

Via e-mail. Following my post on here she clicked the link in the email which took her to her a/c with Wise and re-entered her address details changing the city from "Bangkok" to the name of our amphur and then entered Bangkok as the province which was previously blank. A message then popped up saying they would contact her if they needed any additional info. This she did this last Sunday and nothing further from Wise other than an email confirming she rec'd some funds today, Wednesday.

Thanks for all your replies. No driving licence and all condo paperwork, etc is in Thai. Looking at the statement it is actually a VISA credit card statement, she has a/cs with several different banks so probably easier to go to a local bank and request an English language bank a/c statement.

My Thai wife has just rec'd a request from Wise to prove her residential address. Does anyone know if they will accept this in Thai language, e.g bank statement/letter showing address in Thai language? Thanks.

From the Guardian:- ‘He has trouble completing a thought’: bizarre public appearances again cast doubt on Trump’s mental acuity. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/03/donald-trump-mental-fitness

Just another form of tax levied on foreigners.

Today's Independent has an article relating to this. In a few short remarks, the president revealed he has very little knowledge of the U.S. economy; is incapable of remembering where his own representatives or aides are and cannot stay awake during an early afternoon public appearance - https://www.the-independent.com/voices/trump-pennsylvania-speech-mental-biden-b2789677.html#comments-area

In theory I believe they need a search warrant. In reality.........

Is this the "revenge tax" being discussed here? https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025/6/4/what-is-the-revenge-tax-in-the-us-tax-bill
