BBC Sounds app being withdrawn for overseas users
phetphet replied to brewsterbudgen's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
There are some other radio apps you can buy, such as TuneIn, Broadcasts, and My Tuner Pro to name a few. I like TuneIn. There is TuneIn Radio, TuneIn Radio Pro (onetime purchase)of around $9.99) which avoids ads. There is also a Premium subscription, which includes free audio books, but not for me. Has all the BBC Channels including 5live and 5 sports extra. HTH -

UK Chancellor Plans Multi-Billion Welfare Cuts to Balance Budget

I wonder if the cuts will include all funding for illegal boat arrivals. Charity begins at home. -
However there could soon be an alternative. Mexico has recently finished constructing their coast to coast dual track railway and are planning to upgrade it to take shipping containers from port to port. across the isthmus. The Panama Canal is still the main route, and important for shipping, but the railway will complement it and provide both an alternative and a back up now the canal is suffering water shortages, which are causing high fees. It should also provide Mexico and their investors a nice return on their investment. https://www.freightwaves.com/news/mexico-aims-to-compete-with-panama-canal-by-using-cargo-trains https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/coatzacoalcos-palenque-line-fa-interoceanic-train-opens/

Yes, but they would be under the yoke of Trump, while he strips their land of all its minerals and riches worth far more than what he will pay them. Plus. How could they trust someone who reneges on deals, treats his friends and allies the way he does, and within a month of taking office, has China saying it is ready for war in whatever way he wants it. I don't buy the need for national security. He is after the minerals.

For the glass, how about a razor blade scraper? I have a plastic one that has one of those box cutter blades in it, but one of these might do the job. Not the same, but something like this might do the job: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/scraper-scr-40-i2899402232-s10598559382.html?c=&channelLpJumpArgs=&clickTrackInfo=query%3Ascrapers%3Bnid%3A2899402232%3Bsrc%3ALazadaMainSrp%3Brn%3A3821a62942814e230d21b86976ef2102%3Bregion%3Ath%3Bsku%3A2899402232_TH%3Bprice%3A48%3Bclient%3Adesktop%3Bsupplier_id%3A1000183586%3Bbiz_source%3Ah5_internal%3Bslot%3A2%3Butlog_bucket_id%3A470687%3Basc_category_id%3A12108%3Bitem_id%3A2899402232%3Bsku_id%3A10598559382%3Bshop_id%3A412683%3BtemplateInfo%3A107882_D_E%23116808_A0%23-1_A3_C%23&clusterType=nonSpu&freeshipping=1&fs_ab=2&fuse_fs=&lang=en&location=Prachuap Khiri Khan&price=48&priceCompare=skuId%3A10598559382%3Bsource%3Alazada-search-voucher%3Bsn%3A3821a62942814e230d21b86976ef2102%3BoriginPrice%3A4800%3BdisplayPrice%3A4800%3BsinglePromotionId%3A-1%3BsingleToolCode%3AmockedSalePrice%3BvoucherPricePlugin%3A0%3Btimestamp%3A1741137532456&ratingscore=4.947289156626506&request_id=3821a62942814e230d21b86976ef2102&review=663&sale=2805&search=1&source=search&spm=a2o4m.searchList.list.2&stock=1

It's probably to try and clamp down on all these online scams. People using other's bank accounts to deposit dodgy money. They can see if the depositor is the account owner. Some sort of anti money laundering action. It's the same in the UK. There they advise paying into your own account, then transferring to whover you wish to pay.

They are not giving him billions. Trump wants repayment from Ukraine's resources. That was one of the reasons for Zelensky's visit to the US. To sign the contract. Now China has cut off export of rare earth minerals to the US due to Trump's tariff war, the US is desperate to find new sources, and Ukraines just happens to have them in abundance. Ukraine is getting nothing free from the US Trump is playing both sides to try and make sure he can get at Ukraine's untapped riches. As an aside. WTF is going on at the White House lately? I wouldn't be surprised to see the Oval Office moved into a trailer home on the White House lawn soon. All class, gravitas and dignity seem to have gone out the window. President Trump, those $100 MAGA caps you are selling, really don't go well with your expensive tailored suits.

Retirement extension
phetphet replied to Badrabbit's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Also with Wise, there is the option to send the exact amount you want in foreign currency (THB). That's what I normally do. Therefore, if the OP does use Wise, he can choose to send THB65,000 regardless of the exchange rate, and Wise will deduct accordingly. -
Thailand's New 300-Baht Tourism Tax: Aid or Hindrance?
phetphet replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
On a retirement extension. I wonder what my Private Health insurance will say if I have an accident and have to make a claim . Pretty sure on their claims forms they ask if covered by any other insurance policies. Everyone knows what insurers are like for trying to avoid paying out. Could they use this? -

Once DOGE has finished uncovering all the theft and fraud they claim they are finding, will those responsible be held accountable? There must be some very large amounts being stolen. Has anyone been charged yet? I haven't seen anything mentioned in the news.

There are quite a few reviews on youtube that might help you.

Thai Wives Team Up to Expose Cheating Cop Husband

Possibly Muslim? Or is more than one wife allowed in Thailand under Buddhism? -
I think the problem with the MMR vaccination with many parents isn't so much vaccination itself as getting all three at once. I would certainly prefer to have a child vaccinated with all three vaccines separately.
