New Traffic Ticket Format Takes Effect on 4 August
Last year we had to clear two tickets before we could tax the car. We did not receive any tickets in the post, Mrs was told you get them by the Tang Raj app now. Latest rumour is that the government has said it is illegal to refuse to tax a car even if it has tickets.

Wise Account - Proof of name/address and residence.
If you are from the UK and have access to the government web service you can download a National Insurance number letter. This worked for me.

secured credit cards?
I have had mine with Krungsri for a number of years and cannot touch the account that backs it. It is linked to Homepro so was good when setting up the house, select offers (fee fwn with washing machine) and a discount at the tills.

New COVID-19 Sub-Variant XFG Emerges in Thailand
It is good that they publish the info and let the public decide what to do with it. If they said nothing another group would be getting their knickers twisted about the secrecy. Covid got me thinking about hygene and now carry sanitizer to spritz the hands when I feel like it. I have noticed that hand washing after going to the toilet is now at pre-covid levels. I assume that those in fast food uniforms that do not have a hand cleaning procedure that thay have to do when they return to work.

Thai Street Food and Beverage Sector Faces Three-Year Slowdown
The head line and picture references streetfood but the article is all about the big chains (KFC, The Coffee Ckub etc). They must be worried after flooding the market with outlets when people are feeling the pinch.

Recent trip to UK with Qatar air- A very sad, heartbreaking visit.
England has always been a brutal place for most of its populace with the exception of the post-war period ending sometime in the 1970s. Can anyone else think of a golden age? The Victorians despite incredible progress most peoples life was a grind (slum conditions, gin alley). People going on about the Irish & Jews and longing for Georgian times. The inter-war years when the promise of a better life was soon forgotten. People still going on about the Jews & Irish and thinking about Edwardian times. Since the 1970s we in the west have grabbed as much as we can for ourselves. With some being a lot better at it than others. We then tell those that have not done well that even though your share of the pie is less than before you have to share it with more people.

What are you cooking today? (2025)
Hit the Talat Thai fish market yesterday as do not plan to go out this weekend due to polution and traffic (events at Thammasat University and Dhamakaya). Yesterday fish (Snapper), chips and mushy peas, today baked Black Pomfret, potato salad and a green salad. Steer clear of Talat Thai this week traffic only gets worse in the run up to Chinese new year.

So with the Chinese population 4X that of the USA if they increase per capita CO2 emissions to that of the USA they will be over 50% of world emissions.
