Unethical behaviour. Terminate her appointment.

When will Trump realise that that the majority of countries and the majority of the global population hate him?

Maybe the time has come for the USA's senior professional intelligence, military and security leaders hold a meeting on planning and staging a coup to rid save the USA from these politically elected and appointed super idiots.

When Trump "attacks" the world, does the moron expect the world to sit back and take it?

Trump - drill baby drill. Planet - die humans die.

Another day, and yet more arrests of Chinese criminals in Thailand.

A great suggestion, which I enacted about 15 years ago. I looked at a lot of economic data from back home and in Thailand, including currency exchange rates, dating back 40-50 years. All looked promising, but .... since coming here bank interest rates in Australia reached near record lows as did currency exchange rates - ok, not so good on the money front. Then Thai immigration changed visa requirements ... which was somewhat unexpected, but was worked around. Now we have the Thai tax changes ... I knew the then Thai personal tax requirements before I came for a long visit to Thailand. Confirmed what I had learnt from chatting with a few Thai tax professionals here. Set up a couple of accounts back home and here to help minimise my Thai tax burden. But, tax policies change over time in most countries, and Thailand is no exception. Do your research, plan ahead, and have Plan/Option B, C, D, .... in case the original plan become untenable.

I agree with most of what has been posted earlier. My retirement visa expires in June this year, and I shall extend it again at that time (until June 2026). My passport expires in early 2027, and I shall start the new passport process (again) in December this year or January 2026 (it usually takes about a month or so). Once the new passport arrives (hopefully by February 2026), I shall take my current passport and my previous passport (which has the original retirement visa) to immigration to transfer the retirement extension visa to the new passport. All painless, hopefully.

5 5 5 Massive interest rate cuts will not save the Thai economy. Substantial economic restructuring, worker upskilling and the death of most monopolies/duopolies are needed.

I cannot remember any of my Thai friends saying anything positive about Prayut, even friends who are government officials and those in the military.

Considering Trump's recent actions - and he has only been in power (this time) for about 10 weeks - if I was an American on SS I would be very worried.

Bye bye USA. Next target, USA military, to aid Russia's invasion?

What power does a Thai Deputy PM have in China? SFA!!

See what happens when businesses own governments.

40 billion before mid year? One can only hope.

The right wing American terrorists (but in their eyes "freedom fighters") have been active for a long time. Just ask any nation which has been subjected to CIA control and coup.

The US was invaded in 1492 by Europeans!!! Colonised by various European nations. Russia only controls the White House and some billionaires.

A little off topic. I have had 3 hernia operations at 2 different sites - one when I was about 10 years old, another at about 40 and the final one at about 50 - in Australia. The first two were in my groin area, and were classified as emergencies - for the first I was operated on in a private hospital, about 2 hours after seeing the doctor; for the second one, I was diagnosed in a public hospital ER late one Friday afternoon, the surgeon who saw men wanted the swelling to decline to make surgery easier, so I was operated on the following Monday morning.

Trump's Nazi Amerika.

Maybe some senior people in the Thai Revenue Department have realised the complexity involved in interpreting and enforcing the 60-odd DTAs that Thailand has signed, as well as the ones that are currently under negotiation or re-negotiation. Many of these DTAs are many decades old and do not reflect current financial instruments and pension/superannuation situations in many countries. For example, in some countries state service sector pensions (for those formerly employed in the military, police, etc. and well as those formerly employed in government/state hospitals, medical institutions, schools, universities, etc.) no longer exist and have been replaced by superannuation programmes, under which governments have made contributions.

Once her location in Thailand is revealed, this may happen.

Did the delegation fly VIP class and are they staying in a luxury 5 star resort-hotel? Did the delegation bring biometric data to confirm the identities of those whom they are shown who were deported?

Mr Tesla is no longer the most popular man on earth? Maybe global freedom fighters are resisting the spread of Nazism.

I cannot resist - a toilet snake?

Did Trump ever have the plot?
