UK Pensions and related info
I haven't been on the electoral register for 15 years, still getting my pension rises and winter fuel payment. A pal of mine hasn't been in the UK for 30 years, needed a UK address, I told him to use his last UK address and he subsequently passed the credit check. They have no record, and don't care. There is no reason to fear your government, they are barely competent at best. As for relatives, I have no idea who lives at my given UK address, and don't really care.

Moo Baan committee members
My misses formed a committee, forced a vote and took the housing management from the original builders (250 houses). She gets nothing but they built a small office and employed a lady do deal with day to day issues. Fees are based on land size, nothing else, and have been the same since the moobaan was built 10 years back. We pay just under 5kbht/year.

Federal Jury Orders Donald Trump to Pay $83.3 Million in Defamation Case
I'd encourage them to report it in time for DNA evidence, photos of injuries and witness statements to be taken (let's be generous 2 weeks). 25+ years later when they can't even put a firm date on their accusations, not so much. As for defamation, she's a nobody, $500 fine at most. Doesn't really matter as when he's elected President, he'll just pardon himself. And the more he's victimised, the more votes he will get from normal citizens.

Thai baht could depreciate further against US dollar, says K-Research
Agree with you, All the surveys and inflation figures are nothing but government propaganda. They screwed up the world economy with pointless COVID lockdowns, and now they try and lie themselves out of the hole they dug.

2023 pension rise 10% = 800 GBP + 500gbp wf total 1300gbp. 2024 pension rise 8% = 800gbp plus 800 from 2023 plus 500gbp wf total 2100gbp. So the increase is certainly worth having, not sure why you need the PI bank though, UK bank +WISE is good enough for disguising your real residence. Mail drop maybe 200 pounds a year, making you a 1900gbp profit in 2024. Easier to just remain apparently living in the UK, use your last UK address, nobody checks you still live there and no proof of life forms.

In any EOTW scenario the first to fail is the electricity and internet. If the internet goes down, what use your bitcoin? Shelf stable foods, an underground bunker, guns and ammo would be a far better investment than gold or bitcoin IMHO.

My rabbits can also learn enough English to get by .......... that doesn't make them intelligent!

Cheapest good weed now ? I found 350 thb/gram but not cheaper yet, any idea ?
Forget CBD, use high THC indica as it's more effective.

I've never been a fan of Sativa.

Smoked North Thunderf*** last night, Fat Banana was better. My No. 1 choice from @ca08 is now Fat Banana @40bhtgm.

Just an observation.
I can accept that, but it usually only lasts for one or two shags. Longer relationships are based on finance. At 60+ years old, nobody is getting any free ones! RooshV, master of 'game' failed to get any more free ones after age 40.

Just an observation.
As a fairly honest type of guy, I prefer straight payment, but acknowledge your stated preference to use deception and manipulation to obtain sex from women.

Just an observation.
ALL men have to pay women to hang out with them! Back in the UK the juice just wasn't worth the squeeze.

Thought the fall was due to 'All Inspire' defaulting on 2.5Bbht of bonds. With more defaults from other big companies in the pipeline.

An International British Teacher Arrested for Luring Minors to Commit Indecent Acts in Pathum Thani
Don't think Saville blamed anyone as he was dead before he was investigated.

Tax on Pensions
Best action is always to do nothing until the police come to arrest you, then plead ignorance. Let's face it even if you 'cannot tell a lie', first tax declaration is maybe required in Jan 2025, and then they wouldn't know you were resident until you next extension application (in my case October 2025). I deliberately don't update my bank book except on the day of my VISA extension, so they can't see what money I bring into Thailand, bank book 1 or 2 entries, bank statement 6 months maximum.

How would this play out in Thailand?
Never been in a stadium, visited plenty of train stations and shopping centres though.

Thai gold prices plummet, buyers encouraged to act
Is a 0.3% drop all that significant?

How would this play out in Thailand?
Wish I coul play the piano that badly. I actually prefer his classical playing, he does a decent Ave Maria (Schubert)and in the CCCP clip at 25:25 some other piece.

We're not in China-Piano Incident
Was more concerned with the Chinese girl muttering 'Don't shoot him' in the background. Suspect the shouty Chinese security man had a gun on him, but the police (of course) never checked.

Looking for help
For a start we know because she's friends with bar girls. Respectable Thai women don't mix with sex workers.
