It's accurate. Problem may be finding a driver to accept.

Change in the tax law does target expats living in Thailand and extends reporting obligations
The shallow ineptitude, greed, lack of foresight, innovation and responsibility of this country is astounding. Always dreaming up another stupid new scheme to pick the pockets of others not responsible and bite the hands that feed it.

Let's Plant Meat
Yes LPM burgers are good. Plantish burgers are better IMO, if u can find them. Both much cheaper than Beyond, which I also enjoy.

Banknotes from 10 years ago still accepted?
1 Baht notes were last printed in 1956-7. Been here 30 years and never seen one. I've got a couple 10 Baht notes saved from still being circulated in the mid-90s. They were replaced by coins in 1988. If you'd ever like to sell a 1 Baht note, let me know.

Bird breeders tweet plea to un-list the red-whiskered bulbul
🚫 Absolutely not❗🚫 Taken in Chiang Mai last year. Birds do not belong incarcerated for the whims of the greedy and ignorant human-animal.

Carrying a Swiss Army Knife while in Thailand?
I carry a SA Knife while hiking and traveling. I always be sure to put it in undercarriage "cargo" baggage when flying and retrieve at baggage claim. Never had a problem..not yet anyway.

The obvious lesson and only answer is... DON'T participate or support animal exploitation and abuse❗It's just cruel, plain and simple.- Lightning strike tragedy: Thai father killed in bed as family watches in horror
"Dude" accepted your statement and rephrased. Twas no longer a claim. Had you just stopped there, you wouldn't appear so foolish and lost trying to support and defend your irrational woo-💩. That cannot be made any more crystal clear...even for you. We good❓🤣- Lightning strike tragedy: Thai father killed in bed as family watches in horror
Nope. Not even close. Not even same universe close, but that's OK. Continue believing in yo "woo" and I'll continue accepting truth and actual reality, based on reason, logic and demonstrable evidence supported by the scientific method. So now that is cleared up...I'm good.- Lightning strike tragedy: Thai father killed in bed as family watches in horror
I'll rephrase... There's not a shred of evidence for the existence of karma, nor divine justice, nor anything divine or supernatural. So I reject those silly notions based on lack of evidence. They are also illogical and unreasonable, based on what comports with reality and the solutions uncovered by the best method of discovering answers to what is real and true...the scientific process. 👍- Lightning strike tragedy: Thai father killed in bed as family watches in horror
Huh...whaaa❓ OK, you're right. Nothing silly, but rather totally whack-O. Just another of myriad silly copout superstitions. No such thing as karma or divine justice...the universe doesn't care. It's incapable. It's not sentient.- Lightning strike tragedy: Thai father killed in bed as family watches in horror
Yep...exactly my point. Thanks for reiterating it. What's yours❓ Mine is saying how easy and flawed it is to bring up such BS nonsense when convenient and fits their silly narrative of superstition and/or naivety. Total lack of reason and critical thought. However they just never ever spout off when it's the other way around. Shouldn't be necessary to draw you a picture of explanation, but regardless...you're welcome. 😆- Did you get the easy way in life or the hard way?
Hard way, but made it. Born lower middle class USA. Awesome mom and deadbeat dad divorced when I was 3. Started working at 11 for spending money. Did well in school and sports. Couldn't afford a car or college. Finally bought a motorcycle at 18. My first car at 23. Ultimately secured a great job and enjoyed a 35 awesome year career. Was living here in Thailand for 25 years (month on, month off) and retired 4 years ago at 59. Had a 10 year Thai gf who was raped & murdered in our new house which we built together in Kanchanaburi. Surrounded by mountains and across from a lake. We had a Honda Wave, Toyota Fortuner and dogs & cats. Had just retired and struggling to get back home at the beginning of Covidiocy. She was brutally murdered in our house 1 month prior to my return. She was 33. Somehow I'm still here, tho has not been easy these past 3.5 years and many times considered "checking out". Unexpectedly met a girl a year ago who saved my sanity and probably my life. We are happily moving forward in Jomtien. Not looking for sympathy, just sharing my story. It's sanative. Life can go on and (usually) does.- TM47 form 90 day report.....Whats the scoop on this nonsense?
Have seen 🏔️' s of paper copies (which NO ONE will ever look at again) in both CW & Jomtien Immigration. It's freakin' ridiculous❗- Lightning strike tragedy: Thai father killed in bed as family watches in horror
Sad and sucks for sure, but where's all the silly "karma" comments now❓Or 'his time was up'...or other such nonsense❓The Universe is random, dangerous, hit and miss pure chance. Lightning would have struck regardless whether he was there or not. No matter how "good" or "bad" a person.- ChitChat Thailand Pattaya report: Is Pattaya ready for the high season?
Pattaya may be but I'm NOT. 😩- Thai woman arrested in Taiwan for prostitution in Taiwan
