  1. 3) Stay in Thailand and apply for a 10-year LTR visa. Very limited by conditions so you may not be eligible.
  2. Call it the Transamerican Tunnel and Trump will be all-in.
  3. In other words, the baht is resilient and the BOT interest strategy works. The government has neither weakened NOR strengthened the baht. That is an outcome of a clueless and/or unsustainable economic strategy by the government. What is more likely is the devaluation of the USD by its own government (3 trillion more debt?) while resulting in strengthening of its former allies currencies.
  4. Sounds like a warning from an illegal money lender.
  5. Think of what would be saved by eliminating the Executive Branch and Congress. Run the US like Switzerland.
  6. I like many of the eateries in the large shopping malls.
  7. They did so well (not) with the Patani Malay Muslims to keep (failed) peace but had to have a State of Emergency in place. Will ISOC require a SOE in areas of large foreign populations? So is this an admission that Thai Police are incapable to assure compliance with constitutional laws? ISOC is a military command and not a civilian agency. The elected PM and House ministers have no authority over ISOC.
  8. Not only increase debt but increase inflation. "The International Monetary Fund (IMF) suggests Thailand could benefit from trimming its policy interest rate to boost inflation." https://finimize.com Boosting inflation means even more debt, less buying power and weaker international trade competition. How is that helpful to Thailand?
  9. Alright, women throwing punches as well. Sounds like they know how to scrap.
  10. That likely will require a deposit of 1/2 million or more baht to guarantee coverage in the specialized Bangkok hospital. Might be more cost effective to return him directly to UK.
  11. The baht might weaken some in advance of the Dollar in the short term mostly due to international market "jitters." But the impart of Trump's tariffs in the long term if he doesn't cave on the tariffs in the short term will weaken the Dollar's exchange rate perhaps even more than any weakening of the baht. Figure 2-3 months of US industrial stagnation/closures, higher unemployment, loss of consumer confidence, stock market losses and higher inflation in consumables might tend to strengthen the baht.
  12. Sounds like Trump misses Biden as a distraction for Trump's own issues.
  13. If you're paying income tax in the UK then the Double Taxation Treaty will likely shelter you from any Thai income tax, apart from possible being below Thai taxable income levels and not breaching the 180 days residence requirement.
  14. Airbus and Boeing Suspend Technical Support For Russian airlines, 2022-03-03 https://www.airnavradar.com/blog/airbus-and-boeing-suspend-technical-support-for-russian-airlines Thailand allowing this aircraft to enter Thailand airspace is a threat to its national security. But think of the value of Russian tourists! Money, money, money.
  15. Why was the capital of Egypt moved? Considering Cairo's rising population, congestion, and pollution, the government announced in 2015 that it would build and migrate to the so-called New Administrative Capital (the city is not yet officially named). Aug 23, 2024 Constructing Egypt's New Capital - NASA Earth Observatory https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov
  16. There is a New Orleans in Louisiana, USA
  17. More than a decade ago: "Coup needed for Thailand 'to love and be at peace again - army chief," May 23, 2014, The Guardian. How's that working out through now almost two decades of failed negotiations with the Malay Muslim insurrection?
  18. Make Australia another US State. Sound good to you?
  19. Fox News wants to become the Pravada of the US.
  20. In 2023, foreign direct investment net inflows from China to Thailand amounted to more than 1.8 billion U.S. dollars, indicating a significant increase compared to the previous year. Foreign direct investment is a type of investment made by an individual or corporation in one country into a business in another country. Most if not all Chinese imports enter Thailand duty-free. China operates through its poliburo Thailand's largets electronic marketplace Lazada. Thailand buys Chinese submarines. Thailand gives "blue plate specials" to Chinese tourists. What more does this government need to engage China in economic bonds? Maybe the answer is the Thai governments have done all they can do in the last decade for close Chinese economic support and needs to develop other foreign economic bonds.
  21. It is the verbal statements made to motorists that's unlawful. The fines are legal. Two separate actions. Fined motorists should have the right to challenge the police statements as being unlawful and challenge the fine, as such the alleged fine should deferred to adjudication. But a traffic ticket should be issued and acknowledged by the driver's signature. Whether the police choose to enforce the fine I court is another matter.
  22. I use my free VPN Tunnel Bear to open an internet gateway to UK, then Skype to call the toll free 800 number.
  23. Muslim US Allies in the Middle East: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Jordon; others nearby Turkey, Pakistan. Iraq as strategic partners. Under a Trump administration, US diplomatic relationship with all them has and will deteriorate, damaging US worldwide security.
