Where the farangs actually are in Thai society
About 4 years ago, I also attended a university graduation ceremony in Nakhon Si Thammarat, and as far as I was aware, I was also the only farang there. 5 years previously, I attended the university's President's welcoming address to the families/parents of new students - I was the only farang in the auditorium.

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
Apologies for the slow response - I am a little behind with my reading. As a former long-time resident of Canberra, and a shorter-time (about 15 years) federal government public servant in Canberra (ABS and BACA), your post interests me; especially the following sentence - "I have a Government Service Lifetime Pension that is specifically mentioned in the Australian Thai DTA and is only assessable in Australia." Could you please provide the URL of the "Government Service Lifetime Pension" site - I did a Google search, but could not find it? Secondly, after reading the Australia-Thai DTA (signed by then Treasurer Paul Keating in 1986, for memory) (and maybe I fell asleep, several times) I can recall no specific reference to "Government Service Lifetime Pension" which " ... is specifically mentioned in the Australian Thai DTA ...". Section, clause and page numbers in the DTA would surfice. As I stated above, I may have missed it. Many thanks in advance.

Thailand Faces Surge in Influenza: 100,000 Cases, 9 Deaths
I am in a similar situation - as I sit here typing this reply, looking out to the front of my small home - I have one construction site behind me (about 20 metres from where I am sitting - with noisy equipment (and often shouting workers) going from about 7 am until around 5-6 pm) and another construction site about 50 metres to my right. All windows have to be closed most of the day, and one door slightly open, due to all the dust coming inside, from these sites.
