Thailand Tightens Grip on Retirement Visas Amid Wealth Shift
Stupid article that has the wrong end of the stick & goes right off the subject. There is no sign of "refusing" goodstanding retirees on present qualification methods. This forum for years has been advising the Thai Government to go for quality not quantity but is falling on deaf ears or they are just scared of loosing numbers

Trump sent US officials to meet UK pro-life activists over concerns their freedom of speech
I would have thought that Trump may have been better sorting out the US of A's human rights problems before poking his nose into the UK or has the UK hater Putin given him a nudge

Do you drive a HILUX? Don't you wish everybody did?
The problem with these "cheap pickups" is they have much better engines than they used to have but not much of an upgrade to the stopability.................... be really careful

Seven Dead as Runaway Bus Slams into Trucks and Bursts into Flames
Many silly comments on here obviously made by folks who have never driven heavy vehicles. Gearing is the ONLY way to get a heavy vehicle down a long steep incline. Brakes on their own will sooner or later just get too hot & fail. Even heavy planes use reverse thrust to aid their brakes in slowing down, well some ( eg: Qantas 747 landing at Don Muang did not hence going off the end of the runway)

When a 7.7 Magnitude quake hit Myanmar yesterday - in pictures
As if the Burmese people had not enough pain with the Junta ruining the country over the last 3 years & now this. Having worked in Mandalay with the wonderful local folks & experienced the grandeur of the country's natural beauty I just hate to see the country being torn apart from within. The only good thing that hopefully comes out of this is that the Junta's brains have been jolted into some form of realism

Putin Proposes UN-Led Administration in Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict
Putin throwing another "red herring" condition into the mix just to deflect any sign of a truce. Note that he wants western sanctions lifted, he like Trump must think they are the only two people in the world with a brain

US Vice President JD Vance Calls for Greenland to Come Under US Control Amid Rising Tensions
This Vance is a nasty piece of work & is a great accomplice of "The goose" If they really had concerns about "world security & not just a land & mineral grab by the worlds wanna be policeman who are quoting Russia & China as the enemy, they would stick troops on the ground in Ukraine & sort out Russia first, not stop supply of arms to Ukraine. But that will not happen as Putin & "The goose" wanna get in bed with each other & rule the world.

Bangkok Gears Up for 2028 Formula One Grand Prix with New Plans
Not sure they have fully grasped the magnitude of the costs of putting together a "street track" along with the costs of not only buying & erecting the stands, safety fences & pit stop requirements. A street track is worse as can only be used once a year & has the added cost of disassembly & storage properly. They should have a long hard look at the Korean GP situation & the exorbitant costs expended with no recompense by F1 at all.

To become an expat
Not long after I moved here to live the Aussie $ was under 17 Bht to the AUD Not a concern then & not a concern now. Of course cost of living has gone up here, but quality of life in Thailand is far better for far less money in particular if you do not own your own home in OZ.

Bangkok Condo Owners and Agents Arrested for Illegal Rentals
Fair play but once again only enforced once a lot of squelling done. The Act goes back many years when the THA was requested to pay to the Govt 50 Bht per occupied room per night. They agreed on the basis that if condo non members did not pay this fee then could only rent by the month not daily or weekly which was all agreed on. Now let us see if the Government wrangles it's way out of the deal by changing to the "European way" I for one hope they do not as apartments are not conducive to good living by permanent residents with shorter than 1 month rentals

Bangkok Mandates Grease Traps for Eateries to Prevent Flooding
Sewerage is easy to treat as it breaks down, not fat which as mentioned floats & coats to the sides of drains slowly end up blocking it. For those that do not understand how a grease trap works suggest do some homework. They actually only work because fat & grease floats.
