You're blaming Canada for being a lousy parent?

My colleague from China sent me a photo of blown up government building in Sungai Kolok and asked me if I was OK... thinking that happened in Bangkok. That images went all over Chinese media. So I have a bit of doubt TAT's optimism is justified.

This is what happens when you give internet access to conspiracy theorists who had trouble passing 4th year of elementary school. Come on Yagoda, you can do better than that. Did you know Earth is flat, aliens run Area 51, and COVID was caused by 5G antennas?

Wow... I remember back when we had to use their... E-Money ATM cards or something like that... and bring letter to KTB bank to put money into that account... I was so happy when that experiment ended. Disappointed CM sticks to that 😞

Noticed change on the website. Only phone number now. Used to be a button at the bottom footer, can't see it now. And yes, nobody speaks English, although they try to understand and explain... No experience with CM revenue office though, apologies. Yes, you go to bank where you have a bank account, and give them cheque and savings book, and they'll deposit it... Or if you want to be nice to them, you could fill a cheque deposit slip and put on the information from cheque. Takes a few days to clear, in my case (did it on weekend) it took 3 or 4 days, but some branches if done in the morning can have it cleared the same day or next morning. So, correct. You do not need to go to Krungthai bank. Go to bank where you have your bank account at - any branch of your bank.

Teslas must put pedal to the metal and use right-most lane at dead center...

Too busy repopulating the planet...

Oh come on. You know Elon has explosive personality. His rockets are just trying to fit in...

Last year my cheque didn't arrive. Contacted RD and they sent me another. A few days later I got 2 of them at the same time... Thailand Post isn't the most reliable. It should be received within a week. As it's been 3 weeks, contact them and let them know you have not received the cheque and they'll send another. There's same option inside the website to communicate to RD that you haven't received cheque and they'll send another. It is not sent as registered mail.

Should have never boarded that Boeing...

How hard is it to summon Agoda/Booking/AirBnB and tell them they'll be made illegal in Thailand and blocked off unless they hand over the documentation on all non-hotel rentals for the past 7 years - along with all the amounts paid for rentals, find the owners of the units, bank accounts of who that was transferred to - and grab them for taxes, false tax filing penalties, illegal rental penalties, and give them 30 days to settle the bills or confiscate their units and put them up for sale. All data is there. Platforms have info on bank accounts of those renting out properties and length of stay they were rented for. Banks have confirmation of that - surely they hold records of payments, and so do online providers. Land department has the records of who owned the place at the time of offense. How hard can it be?

Wait! Did he say "So much winning" or "So much whining"?

Happened to me, didn't make fuss about it, apart from trying to comfort the spouse. It was an elderly Filipino couple on pilgrimage to Vatican... the man died early into the flight. Looked 80+. His wife crying and praying the entire flight to Bangkok. It was the last center row of Jumbo, the 4 seats I was hoping to sleep on as generally nobody wanted to sit on those as they didn't recline (much). But... flight attendant showed up shortly into the flight and asked me if I would mind if a gentlemen sat there, as he was feeling unwell. I didn't mind, but didn't expect that it was his last minutes. I won't name the airline here, but they were less than kind to the lady. One of the last sentences the dying man has heard was "we will offload him in Bangkok", when I asked whether we would be making a diversion. Sad event. Felt very sorry for the surviving spouse. But, at least, he completed the mission of visiting the holy sites before passing away.

Believable... seen so many times

Of course they could. But that's illegal in Thailand, not in EU. This directive is for EU and they are Dutch. I think they would not want to go to war with Brussels...

Your photo is from 2020.

That might be coming. As a massive punch in the face to Thai hotel operators... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/thai-hotels-face-eu-sustainability-091948636.html Thai hotels must step up sustainability efforts to comply with new European Union (EU) regulations by 2026 [SNIP] SCB EIC highlights that over 20,000 Thai hotels list their rooms on Booking.com and Agoda, both owned by the Netherlands-based Booking Holdings. These platforms must comply with CSRD and CSDDD, which means that hotels selling rooms through them must also meet international sustainability standards.[SNIP]SCB EIC notes that only around 100 hotels in Thailand currently hold international sustainability certifications, representing less than 1% of the sector. The majority of these are chain hotels in Bangkok and Phuket.

Police came to arrest some short term renters last night... interesting, indeed. That's just a couple of days after posters popped up all over the property that rentals below 30 days are illegal and carry a 1 year jail sentence or 20,000 THB penalty, or both.

Are you on the way to enlist as cannon fodder in Russian army yet? Davay tovarish!

Doesn't make any difference at night, though... Both sleep alone

Because he would just give Ukraine to Russia, like he will give Taiwan to China.

I think you missed the name there. Surely you meant Trump?
