Went from non O-A after nine years to LTR in 2022 without an agent, processed visa at the immigration One Stop Service office at Chamchuri Square Building, Pathumwan, Bangkok (next to MRT Sam Yan station Exit 2). BOI office on same floor and LTR had its own immigration window. BOI was very supportive and escorted me through my walk through in immigration. Have now done one notification (first year reset because I left Thailand for a month in 2023); next notification in 2025. No online but in person at the LTR immigration window.

Some useful background information on Musk's rumored donation: "What are the rules on UK political donations and how might Labour change them?" https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/dec/02/what-are-the-rules-on-uk-political-donations-and-how-might-labour-change-them "Manifesto promise to tighten regulations given urgency by speculation Elon Musk could give $100m to Reform UK" "The key requirement for donors to be permissible, according to the Electoral Commission, is that they must be registered in the UK – either by being a voter on the electoral register or a UK company, trade union or LLP. They can also be unincorporated associations in the UK." How could Musk make a donation to Reform? "Two potential avenues have been floated: either through the UK arm of the social media company X or by securing UK citizenship, which his father Errol has said he is eligible for because his grandmother was British."

It appears he was given "permission" by traffic police (?). And then he continued on. Still wrong.

Before I switched to the 1 year notification visa, I always mailed my 90-day notification by Thai Post by EMS so I had a record of timely delivery.

Trump was convicted for 34 criminal counts under NY State laws by an unanimous jury. He is not getting "off."

Harmful toxins can be adsorbed through the skin. Aside from the mouth, eyes and nose are also pathways into the body.

UAE and South Africa are BRIC partners. Not a joke.

Not an issue. "President Joe Biden Pardons Son Hunter Biden" "No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out," the president wrote. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-biden-pardons-hunter-biden_n_674d0071e4b09da02dde4492

Trump threatens to raise cost of US imports 100% from nine BRIC members states representing over US$28.5 trillion or about 28% of the global economy. And consequently thirteen new nations recently added to the alliance as partner countries – Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Turkey, Uganda and Uzbekistan. Ironically, Trump's "tariffs" (plus higher sales tax where applicable) added to American consumer products will substantially increase US inflation, devaluing the USD. Trump shoots average Americans in their "economic foot" while actually strengthening BRIC objectives.

Regarding the US-Thailand Double Taxation Treaty, both countries need to see what the taxpayer is declaring to both countries that might result in additional tax in Thailand. So both a US and Thai TIN would be required. I assume a similar bank request would be made where Thailand has other Double Taxation Treaties - Thailand currently has 61 double tax agreements.

"A ceasefire between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon appeared to be holding after it came into effect at 4 a.m. local time Wednesday (10 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday). President Biden announced the ceasefire deal Tuesday, saying the U.S. and France had helped broker the agreement." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-hezbollah-ceasefire-netanyahu-war-lebanon-gaza-hamas/ Trump was busy having parties at Mar Largo with his billionaire friends.

Thailand can lose its "chair."

This is a one dimensional view of a multi-dimensional economic market. But there's a broader economic impact. I suggest: Thai sellers gain significant economic gains that can be further invested and/or exploited to raise standard of living, including education and business opportunities. For a segment of Thais who choose to down size their lives subsequently to sale of real estate to foreigners, it becomes a net live time gain. Foreigners buying Thai real estate are likely to have significant economic excess beyond real estate acquisition to continue to add to the Thai economy over their lives in Thailand. More foreigners buying residences likely become permanent residents as defined by the Thailand Department of Revenue with the potential for additional income taxes.

State owned or not - NO government capital for Thai Airways. For decades Thailand government as a majority shareholder has capitalized profit losing Thai Airways ultimately leading to a court-ordered capital reorganization. You think the Thai government becoming a minority shareholder now will make any difference in future airline economic performance? Let the public capital market decide.

GDP per Capita 2023 Singapore $84,734 vs Thailand $7,336. (AI) Singapore's GDP per capita is high due to a number of factors, including: - Low corruption: Singapore is a highly efficient country with low levels of corruption. - Pro-business environment: Singapore's low tax rates and pro-business environment attract FDI. - Manufacturing and exports: advanced manufacturing & export facilities. Thailand's GDP per capita is lower than Singapore's because Thailand is mainly an agricultural economy that relies on growing crops like rice

But "peas in a pod."

According to TNN Online, 2,242 accidents occurred on Rama II Road between 2018 and January this year, resulting in 132 deaths and 1,305 injuries.

Sounds like the source was industrial manufacturing in nature. I would expect that glass broken on site (restaurant) would be in larger pieces.

That might work in Lake Geneva in Switzerland but frigates are best means to protect a fleet and cargo ships. Do you think the shipping in the Strait of Hormuz are protected by submarines versus surface warships plus shore-based aircraft?

Because for about the last two decades Thailand has had submariners but no submarines?

This is the correct approach that will avoid a constitutional 'trap'. From the academic paper "Constitutional Court Decision No. 19/2564: A Threat to Democracy? Forfeiture of Fundamental Rights and the Judicialization of Politics by the Thai Constitutional Court in 2021," by Siravich Teevakul, Thai Legal Studies (2022) Vol. 2 No. 2 | 178–204 - https://doi.org/10.54157/tls.261266 (partial direct and my paraphrasing) The Thai Constitutional Court in Decision No. 19/2564 interpreted Section 49 of the 2017 Constitution as “Thai-style militant democracy,” which suppresses the fundamental rights of the citizen and reflects the characteristics “judicialization of politics” and “politicization of the judiciary” applied by the Court. "In Decision No. 19/2564, the Court ruled to suppress the activists’ freedom of expression on the ground that they exercised their rights with the intention to “overthrow” the rule by democracy with the King as the head of state." As Thailand is allegedly a constitutional monarchy, unhindered discussions of changes in the constitution in a legislative forum by party representatives of the electorate is legally appropriate. Court applied its reasoning to the mechanism of “militant democracy” to defend the regime’s structure.
