I think you already understand the most important implication, that your permission to stay in Thailand is tied to your WP, and ends when the WP ends. You're going to have to make other visa arrangements. Looks like you're already planning that. In my case, my departure was amicable, I was entitled to many months of severance pay, and my employer didn't actually cancel my WP. They just let it run out its time. So someone else is going to have to chime in here with details like whether you get an automatic grace period or whether you have to go immediately and get a 1900 baht extension (that's my recollection). And whether you can change your visa type without leaving the country (and if so, how). All I remember is that guys got bit when they did it wrong...

I'd never dream of proposing that. The sad economic reality is that most Thai families cannot afford a car. But most of the guys reading this can. And that means I can afford to keep myself safer. I have that luxury. But it's a choice.

Respect and responsibility. Setting the barca little high, lol Maybe, but that's a drunk thing. Not a Thai thing.

I also wonder, over the years, how many legitimate threads worried they "almost got denied" and all that really happened is they got selected for extra screening.

I wonder if he was pulling a Klinger, in hopes of a Section 8.

Not to beat a dead horse, but 7 vehicles involved and no serious injuries... One more reason I choose 4 wheels, seatbelts and tons of steel over a scooter. Had anyone in this story been on a scooter, there would have been injuries (or worse). No matter how skilled they think they are.

Pot industry pushes back against draft law that would put an end to Thailand’s cannabis revolution Draft law, or daft?

It just keeps getting better and better for ol' Joe... Wasn't it a Dem strategist that said "It's the economy, stupid"? Carville, if memory serves. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-tops-opponents-biden-hits-new-low-approval/story?id=106335244

OP, what are your Thailand plans after you resign? Are you planning to stay in Thailand, or leave immediately? If you do plan to stay in (or return to) Thailand, what visa will you qualify for? Quitting the job has implications far beyond just not working there any more.

Assuming that means you'll be working in Thailand when you're not flying to the USA for meetings, you'd have more than a visa issue. I'm sure lots of people do it under the radar, but it'll be interesting to see how (if?) that changes now that they'll be scrutinizing incoming money to comply with the new tax rules. And if the revenue department interfaces with immigration. BTW, what's your age? Do you qualify for a retirement visa?

Implement a 52% corporate tax rate, and banana picking won't be the only jobs that the US will lose.

Not much help today, but words of encouragement. I bought 2 sets of lefty clubs when I worked in Thailand. Neither set cost me more than $100 USD. Both good name brands. I had to regrip one set and some printing under the grip confirmed they were genuine. One set, I found in a street market, the other on Bahtsold. The first set came without a putter and I paid 2x as much for a Ping putter as I paid for the rest of the set combined, just to play in an industry tournament that weekend. Ouch. My advice would be not to get in a hurry and buy the first set you see at a resale shop, especially if it's an an eye-watering price or a crappy brand. They can be found, and priced reasonably. But you may have to look awhile.

Stop the presses... Trump was involved in a Ponzi scheme? If so, and I sued him for losses before there were any, the case would be tossed out. The state may be able to prosecute him in criminal court, but that's not what's happening here. This is a civil trial. For damages. When there were none.

The top corporate tax rate during Eisenhower was 52% https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/historical-corporate-tax-rates-brackets/

There is no prosecutor in a civil trial. Just a plaintiff and a defendant. And I've never heard of an award for damages if nobody was damaged. Until Trump.

CNN seemed to hold him out as an expert... From the transcript: I'm going to ask an expert. Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, he's next. Of course, that changed after he went off message. I just read the transcript because they buried the interview so deep. But she sure seemed to change her tune and become rather rude dismissing him...

That's true. But not what a partisan AG says. We won't know what the law says for years, after the appeals.

One of 'em is a federal case. No NY law seems to be quoted. Not to mention, there were actual victims and losses. The other is a lawsuit filed by a victim that actually had losses. Not even close... I mean the law that gives the NY AG standing to sue for damages when there were none...

Just out of curiosity, how many times and against how many people has this particular law been used before Trump?

I'm going to apologize in advance for what's probably going to seem like an unhelpful post. Unless I'm looking for a large quantity, I've always found it easier and cheaper to modify my design to accept standard brackets that I can find off the shelf in the metals markets. In BKK, I'd first be headed to the metals market in Chinatown. I'm sure someone can chime in with the location in Pattaya or Jomtien, especially given all the marine work that happens there.

If you look above the picture of the item ........ I'm surprised they don't have an algorithm that weeds out stuff like that. It wouldn't even require paying a human to go through them. Which, at Thai labor rates, would also be a good idea.

Is that case within the remit of the NY AG in 2024?

Plus, what's the big deal? If anyone's convinced it's a wind-up, don't read it.

Nightly prayers to the porcelain god don't count.

Maybe it's racist, but the ones that cheez me off the most are the idiot foreigners, because I know that they learned better back home. Otherwise, they would have lost their licenses decades ago. I'm more forgiving of locals that maybe never learned. I didn't see in the OP whether it was a local or a foreigner...
