    Some do, some don't, as with all wars. It makes money, so they happen.

    They also cost money, a lot of money. With peace many countries, especially Germany, could continue buying cheap oil and gas from Russia. The Baltic states, especially Poland don't want Ukraine occupied by Russia.

    Unless things have changed the B800k needs to be in a Thai bank account

     

    The monthly B65k needs to be going into a Thai bank account.

    That isn't my experience, I use the 65k method with a letter from the German consulate stating the amount of my pension in Euros and Baht, no mention of it being deposited in a Thai bank, the letter is enough for the IO who doesn't want to see a Thai bank account.

    I don't think that is a prerequisite, as I understand it bank statements, monthly or yearly from your online banking in your home country showing monthly deposits of your pension is enough, it needn't be all deposited into your Thai bank account.

    These are laws that need to be relaxed if this country can ever be a true Democracy.

    What would change in a 'real democracy' (which doesn't exist anywhere). Would the homeless be housed, would American health care be affordable, would the NHS suddenly have no huge waiting times, would the wealthy suddenly have to pay tax, would the huge wealth disparity disappear, would child poverty be a thing of the past, would political promises made before an election have to kept? I don't think so. Thailand manages OK, it's a Goldilocks system, not too hot, not too cold, I prefer things here to the UK.

    For the last 2 years in May the weather has been good, very hot, I know because my daughter has been here so I remember it well, we are in the south of Phuket, it's different this year a lot more rain, 

    Same in Surin, rain for a week now but I'm not complaining it's a lot more comfortable with lower temperatures.

    The funny thing is, if some working class white bloke with a shaved head and forearm tattoos had posted it on Twitter, Starmer would probably have pushed for him to be locked up.

    I wonder if he will get a visit from the police for a non criminal offensive speech.

    Thank you again for this humorous and at the same time sarcastic insight. Trump is a disease as we know and hopefully one day we can visit him in Alcatraz as an inmate.

    Your style is exceptional and nobody can compare.

    Thank you. ❤️

    The worst part was Trump showing his lack of class and dignity, ''IT'S FREE"
