Waiting for Under Siege 3 where chief Ryback turns rogue.

Yes, but wars are fought with weapons, not luxury handbags. The Russian industrial capacity ranks No 1 in Europe. https://www.intellinews.com/long-read-china-and-russia-the-industrial-production-superpowers-that-could-win-a-war-314926/

Hi, could you provide a link or attach a blank form where it says you have to be in Australia to start pension income stream with your super. I would like to research this a bit more as I'm starting my pension income stream in around an year.

Use VPN and set your VPN proxy to be in Australia, otherwise they may block your pension stream application. AFAIK this requirement may be invented by your fund....never heard about this requirement. The AML/KYC rules are getting tightened, I got a credit card application put on hold by HSBC Australia, as I applied online from Thailand. Use always VPN when dealing with the banks, financial institutions and the government.

Meh.. Malaysia and Indonesia get far more Chinese investment than Thailand and have large BRI projects. IMO Thailand inability to move forward is due to lack of proper long term priorities like education. No country can have sustained high quality growth without large investments in education. Building an economy on low class tourists is not the way to go.

Was there an announcement that the government is shutting down the ICE car industry, or this is a created fake issue by third grade AI assisted "journalists" ? Thailand will continue to produce ICE cars, and will also produce EV cars...1+1 = 2. Well not exactly as the internal market has a fixed size, and some will switch to EV cars, however as Thailand has a lot of FTAs, EV cars will be exported as well, so hopefully overall the industry would grow in size.

Looks logical to close down...who is buying Suzuki cars? Toyota is the king here. https://www.focus2move.com/thailand-vehicles-market/

Lower Sukhumvit is fairly expensive place, I doubt you can even rent a garage for £550 in central London. My nephew was renting 2 bedroom apartment near Victoria station for £2500 per month, and that was a few years ago. Now he lives in his own house but his childcare is £2500 per month for only one child.

From my searches it appears there are no changes in regards to tax residency in the budget.

RIP Catherine. Life is a b...h, too young to die from cancer, likely didn't want to die in pain.

I have 5 debit cards with zero foreign currency conversion fees, need to pay only the Thai ATM fee of 220 baht. Thai taxman, catch me if you can🤣

A Russian gangster "often seen sleeping on a nearby pavement"? I thought the gangsters have better lifestyle.

Recently many airlines, especially the LCC sell extra carry-on luggage up to 14 kilos. It still needs to fit the cabin sizes. The hard shell suitcases are mostly standardised now, and there is cabin fit size. I personally never use cabin hard shell suitcase, it weighs around 2kg itself, only 5kg left to use.

Most of the people put their laptops in the overhead lockers, I never had issues myself.

I can't think of any type of industry where China didn't get stronger in the last 5 years. The actions of the US government paint the real picture - increasing number of "trade probes", sanctions etc. Nothing has worked so far.

He is probably typing his GoFundMe page right now.

Try Amaysim esim, but I'm not sure if you can activate it in Thailand. I've heard people being able to activate dtac esims outside Thailand. Of course your phone should must support esim.

There are many....Aldi mobile, Amaysim etc. This topic was discussed extensively.

How would you know...I saw somewhere that around 3 mil baht changed hands. One can't be sure as this is not a public company to publish accounts.

I'm in Sydney right now, easy to go mental when you see the grocery prices and the rents. Tent cities and rising crime seems the likely future.

The only way the super income becomes tax exempt is when you move your super from accumulation to pension phase (income stream). I'm more or less in the same boat although I'm a tax resident, this in principle won't matter unless you have a SMSF and you need to satisfy the residency tests. https://simplyretirement.com.au/tax-super-overseas If you get Oz super pension it may be taxable under the new Thai rules...that is if you bring it to Thailand via bank transfers. Australia won't tax your super pension and income generated by your super even if you are non resident

Interest earned in super if you are in pension phase is not taxable, whether resident or not. If your super is still in accumulation phase the interest is super income and is taxable at 15%. If your money is outside super then the non resident rules for interest apply. It is in your best interest to keep your money in super in pension phase, no income is taxable. Hard to get zero tax anywhere in the world.

TCL is big brand, very big, I think they either No 1 or 2 worldwide in regards to number of TVs sold.

Thailand doesn't publish statistics on expats, but this number sounds reasonable. In 2018 they published that 80k retirement visas were issued, after covid there are probably less of us.
