It's all nonsense! Ask Donald

I just completed my 90-day online reporting today, 13th January. The site is now requesting you change your password. There's a message saying read the email to change your password. I looked and there's no email. It came about 5 minutes later with a link to change the password, which I did and I've reported without any further problems. There's also a message in the email informing you now need to change your password every 3 months. ☹️ Thers also a message saying site maintenance on January 14th.

I can’t comment on Phuket, but in most other places, the Thai price is significantly lower than the foreigner price. The real issue isn’t the price difference itself, but that foreign residents of Thailand—who live here long-term and pay taxes—are still charged more purely because they are not Thai. It’s very hard to justify this as anything other than outright discrimination.

Anything worth seeing in Thailand they've fenced off and you pay to look, usually up to 10 times what the locals pay if you have a white face.

I have a Thai ID card (Pink card for foreigners) That's frequently met with "Cannot, you farang"

You wouldn't think so when you look at the pictures of Trump, Epstein, P.Andrew with young women. They all look like the cat that's got the cream.

Many venues will continue to sell drinks outside of legal hours, but now, as usual in Thailand, they will punish the victims rather than the perpetrators.

It’s pretty clear a lot of Americans still don’t understand what tariffs actually are. Trump keeps saying “China’s going to pay,” but come on, do people really believe that? Tariffs don’t make them pay, they make you pay. They’re designed to punish American importers for buying foreign goods when those goods can be made domestically. But when there’s no local alternative, you’re basically punishing your own businesses and consumers for something they can’t control. Let’s be honest: America has benefited enormously from cheap imports of low cost goods from China and other countries for many years. Those workers earning $5 a day aren’t buying American cars or iPhones anytime soon, so who’s really getting the better end of the deal here? And on the flip side, no American investor is rushing to fund factories to produce those same low-cost goods at home. So the idea that tariffs are some clever way to “win” just doesn’t hold up. In reality, they’re just a hidden tax Americans pay to make a political point.

Ridiculous poll. Atheism is not a religion.

It’s a minefield. This should help: https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/residence The rules for income earned abroad and UK-earned income are different. To be free of UK liability to taxes, including income tax, capital gains tax, and worldwide income tax you’ll need to satisfy the residence rules (see the link) and also consider your ties to the UK, what days you spend in the UK, and whether you’re “resident” or “non-resident” for UK tax purposes. For inheritance tax (IHT) and worldwide asset exposure, there are additional tests. If your intention is to spend the rest of your life outside the UK, it’s best to take professional advice.”

Your sources for Zelensky's fear of the Azov Battalion.? Putin has been trying to Kill him for years, I don't think he's worried about any Nazis that might be in Ukraine.

The long-running conspiracy theories about Trump’s close ties to Putin and Russian oligarchs are starting to sound increasingly credible. It really does seem possible that Putin has something on him. What an embarrassment this wannabe dictator is for the American people.

A lot of assumptions being made here. If he's on a state pension from such as the UK then what would he be doing there. Sitting in a small flat watching the electric meter to see if he could afford to heat the room. Spend his days sitting on a park bench trying to keep warm. Cant afford to go to the pub or eat anything away from home. Que up at the food banks to get something to eat.

Then please enlighten us all.

Can you explain how tariffs help the poor and hurt the rich.

It’s actually everyone who pays the tariffs. Importers pay them on goods entering the U.S., and the cost is then passed on to consumers. Many Trump supporters seem to believe that tariffs are paid by the foreign countries exporting to America, a misconception that Trump has repeated many times.

Isn't this the guy who, during Covid, said all foreigners were dirty and Thais should be careful. I guess he thought taking Cannabis would give protection from us.

Because Trump has imposed Tariffs of 36% I believe, on all goods coming in to the US. That's in addition to any duty or taxes.

Can tariffs (taxes) imposed on American importers really allow them to increase wages? Do Americans honestly believe Trump’s claim that tariffs are paid by the exporters? In reality, the U.S. government is collecting huge sums in tariffs from Americans and then handing some of it back in the form of tax cuts—mainly benefiting billionaires and high earners. The idea that the U.S. must balance imports and exports by country makes no sense to any serious economist. Imposing high tariffs on poorer nations simply because they don’t buy American cars or tech products is misguided. The truth is, the U.S. benefits enormously from being able to import low-cost goods made in countries where workers earn just $5 a day or not much more. So ask yourself—who’s really doing the exploiting here? Those workers earning $5–10 a day won’t be buying an American car anytime soon.

If they have money, there's always a way to stay long-term, Education visas, DTV, Volunteer visas, Border runs, etc.

The western media has been blowing it up (no pun intended) out of all proportion, and much damage to tourism has already been done.

Nothing else to threaten with now the worlds seen the capabilities of their ragtag army.

Nuclear is the only thing left for Russia to threaten with. The world has seen its ragtag army in action, trying for 3 years to defeat a nation many in the world could not even place on the Map.
