Apprehended for walking in a loud shirt in a built-up area during the hours of darkness. 

Meanwhile, in other news today, the PM announced Thailand is offering itself up as host for the 2028 LGBTQ+ summit, "ready to embrace its role as the host of what Thavisin enthusiastically terms the “world cup” of LGBTQ+ festivities."

And I presume that the photo of a tuk tuk has something to do with the stupid laws on advertising alcohol?

2023 - wine paeng paeng. 

2024 - wine tuk tuk.

I just remembered that sketch Dave Allen did, where he observed his name was an anagram of Anal Delve 😂

My point is that this sets a bad precedent.

He'd have been a very bad precedent. 

Two significant developments since you opened the thread in May:

1) Existing Elite packages have been discontinued and cost is now between 50% (5 year) and 500% (20 year) higher than before if you applied after 15th September. 

2) The government has announced that from 1st January 2024 it will tax monies brought into the country for all tax residents, meaning anyone here over 180 days per year. 

Problem is the Asian hip to waist ratio is different. If you're used to medium in the west (33-35" waist, comfortable to sit down in), the equivalent correct waist size on a pair of local boxers from Big C or Lotus will be way too tight around the hips and buttocks. Same true of trousers here.

As a farang, you automatically have respect until you show that you do not deserve it.

This respect and goodwill comes almost by default - it'd require some quite trashy behaviour to lose it.

Reciprocal with whom? The Thai government?

There's no reciprocal agreement with Thailand. These treaties sometimes go back decades, the Philippines one was sought back in the 1980's by the Philippine government.

So what? The point being is that if it is not frozen in even one country outside of the UK then it should not be frozen in any country. Anything other than that is blatant discrimination based on where you decide to live.

Of course it's not discrimination. It's a reciprocal agreement - look it up.

Has anyone got a UK passport in the past few weeks, can you tell the time frame it took please. Thanks

Got one a couple of months ago through VFS. They quoted 11 weeks but it arrived in less than 4.

your rationale is incorrect as there are several countries (including the Philippines) where a UK pension is not frozen.

As far as Southeast Asia is concerned, Philippines is the only country.

I think it was mid December 2006, at the time of my Buhdist wedding in Bangkok, as I went to the ATM and it was giving 75baht for one British pound 

2004 was when it was 75, but still high 60s in 2006. The exchange rate went south a year or so later with the global financial crash.

Conclusion
Treatment of COVID-19 using a combination of hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin was safe and was associated with a statistically significant mortality benefit in the treatment of COVID-19 infection in hospitalized patients. Our findings do not support the current negative recommendations regarding this treatment.

This was the go to treatment for anyone under clinical care with a mild or moderate case under the Thailand MoPH guidelines back in 2020-21.

Can you register yourself on the TM30 as a tenant? If you have the rental contract and owners passport (foreign owner) and other details as part of the rental contract? Saves a trip to immigration 

Good question. When registering for the old Section 38 app it was possible to do so as possessor and not involve the landlord at all.

question....Yes; you can reclaim the Tax on your 800k

This equates to around 100 baht per month based on the pitiful savings rates.
