He, and they by extension, are indeed that if only for his misguided and damaging (given his platform) advocacy of ivermectin as a covid treatment. Straying off topic so I will leave it at that.

True, research is important, but not from a f****** politician. I would consult my dog before any politician, who are generally know-nothing windbags no matter the country.

What is the very best clinic for dental implant in CM?

Not sure another street circuit is needed - Monaco and Singapore, from a racing perspective, are the most boring races of the year, I mean qualy is the real race at least at these 2. Baku a little better but still not many chances to pass either. Not sure about Las Vegas or the others…is Miami street? And, which race are they going to drop to add BKK? 24 seems a lot, drivers for sure don’t want any more than that. Don’t see it happening, for these and many other reasons.

Absolutely false for 3BB - not once have I had a problem getting an English speaker and the level of speaking and comprehension was more than acceptable.

Defeated by vote 237-137, unsurprisingly. Article on the BP website.

Because it is not illegal.

If you use a reputable agent like Maneerat or Cambodia Inter, the downsides pale in comparison to the upside. I would not hesitate to use either; frankly, deciding to use Cambodia has been one of the better decisions I’ve made here. As @DrJack54 notes, it is pretty straightforward to get out of the agent “loop” via a Non-O, honestly I would not be too concerned about that.

Straight to video. Or streaming sites.

With the recent and unrelenting influx of Indians, let’s be honest - the rate of STD infection in Thailand is going to skyrocket. A quick ask of Perplexity AI reveals that: ”The rate of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in India is significant, with approximately 6% of the adult population diagnosed with STDs and reproductive tract infections (RTIs) annually. This percentage translates to over 30 million individuals affected, highlighting a considerable public health challenge” Ironic that the long term costs of such an open door policy will in the end cost more, much much more, than the few baht that this lot throws around. I can only shake my head in disgust…

Aren’t Belgians usually full of s*** anyways? or, is that the French?

Sure, Dr. Hummin - case closed right? Or, maybe you missed the bit where the OP states “Doctor says "we can't find anything wrong…”

Perplexity AI says: A safer alternative to tramadol that is equally effective in pain management is low-dose ketamine. Research indicates that low-dose ketamine provides superior pain control compared to tramadol while exhibiting a more favorable side effect profile. Specifically, studies have shown that patients receiving ketamine had significantly lower pain scores and required fewer rescue analgesics compared to those treated with tramadol. Comparison of Alternatives Here are some key alternatives to tramadol, including ketamine: Ketamine: Effectiveness: More effective than tramadol for pain relief. Side Effects: Fewer significant side effects, such as a lower risk of respiratory depression and seizures. Diclofenac: Effectiveness: Comparable to tramadol in managing pain, particularly in acute settings. Side Effects: Similar safety profile to tramadol, making it a viable non-opioid alternative. Gabapentinoids (e.g., gabapentin): Effectiveness: Particularly useful for neuropathic pain; can be combined with other analgesics for better results. Side Effects: Lower risk of addiction compared to opioids. Conclusion While tramadol is used for pain management, low-dose ketamine stands out as a safer and more effective alternative. Other options like diclofenac, acetaminophen, and gabapentinoids also provide effective pain relief with fewer risks associated with opioid use. Always consult a healthcare provider to determine the best option based on individual health needs and conditions.

The OA insurance requirements are so low and thus so cheap (granted, its a complete throwaway policy) that I wonder if it would actually cost more to switch to a non-O, at least initially? Think I paid 2000b (via an agent) for something from the “Bangkok Insurance Public Company Limited” which I believe is affiliated with Bangkok Bank. I could probably renew the policy at a BKK branch for even cheaper. Just a though, although I suppose over time the non-O will eventually win out on cost.

XMax V3 Pro, well reviewed and reasonably priced. After 2 years of use, quite happy with no major complaints. https://asiavape.co/buy/vaporizer/xmax-v3-pro/

I believe you are correct - Thailand would only have access to CRS-like data for US citizens if you, as a Thai tax resident, were compelled to provide it (by audit) or voluntarily provided it to the Thai RD.

Old news 💤 💤

I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 123 seconds  

Completely gone to s***, would not go even if paid. You see less Russians in Moscow and Indians in Delhi than you do in Phuket these days.

Yes, there are some indeed . But, that dividend and long term cap gains info does not necessarily have to end up with the TRD - thankfully (in this instance) “we” are not on the CRS so unless one is audited by the TRD, or willingly submits this info - it could be ok, in a sense.

Trump seemed so, so, so very un-Presidential - a rather strange thing to say about a former President. There wasn’t much substance from either, but Harris was much more poised and rose to the moment, I thought. In the end, Trump floundered badly and left the viewers with all of the worst that he has to offer and none of the good (if there is any). The election is so close that even swings of tenths of a percent can be impactful and I suspect that the pendulum continues to swing towards Harris, more so after the debate.

This is for USA people. I rely exclusively on savings/dividends/capital gains and am not yet eligible to use a pension/social security/IRA. If implemented, the worldwide tax scheme would be a significant additional expense. I keep my money in the U.S. and send only what is needed here. So I asked Perplexity AI: How would Thailand have access to my USA financial data if the USA does not participate in the CRS? Answer Thailand would not have direct access to your U.S. financial data since the U.S. does not participate in the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). However, there are a few ways Thailand could potentially obtain information about your U.S. assets. Reporting Requirements for U.S. Citizens: As a U.S. citizen, you have certain reporting obligations to the U.S. government, regardless of where you live. This includes: Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR): If the total balance of your foreign bank accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the year, you must report them to the U.S. Treasury Department. Form 8938: If you have specified foreign financial assets that exceed certain thresholds (e.g., $200,000 on the last day of the tax year or $300,000 at any time during the tax year), you must report them on Form 8938 filed with your U.S. tax return. While the U.S. does not share this information with Thailand directly, the IRS could potentially share it with Thai authorities under certain circumstances, such as a tax treaty or agreement. 🤣Voluntary Disclosure of Information🤣 You may voluntarily disclose information about your U.S. financial accounts to Thai authorities if required for tax purposes in Thailand. However, you are not obligated to do so unless Thai law specifically requires it. Requests for Information: Thai authorities could request information about your U.S. financial accounts from you directly or from U.S. financial institutions under certain circumstances, such as a tax investigation or treaty request. However, the U.S. may not always honor such requests, especially if they are overly broad or lack sufficient justification. In summary, while Thailand does not have automatic access to your U.S. financial data due to the U.S. not participating in CRS, there are still some ways Thai authorities could potentially obtain information about your U.S. assets. It's important to consult with a tax professional to ensure you are meeting your reporting obligations in both countries. 👉 My take? Don’t ask, don’t tell. Still undecided about filing a tax return but if push comes to shove, I will.
