  1. It's a bit more nuanced as referred to as earned foreign income.
  2. Better than resorting to an AK47 as done in the US to commit mass murder.
  3. What they agreed was the installation of a Chinese electrical generator and label it an "engine." No Chinese submarine has such a generator that substitutes as an engine. But PM Prayut paid a very high nonrefundable deposit and annual payments that obligate Thailand to purchase 3 of such submarines. PS: While Prayut was PM he was also Minister of Defence
  4. Bank pays me interest but also deducts for income tax on interest so there's no push to do FACTA paperwork, especially since I am exempt from Thai income tax.
  5. That would make a nice new "wallet" for the public or at least increase national public health plan.
  6. Unique to Thai-style democratic Thailand: (S)Election rigging in a rigged (s)election.
  7. Unique to democratic Thailand: Election rigging in a rigged election.
  8. Ironically, it was with then super power UK permission that Thailand forceably annexed the sovereign Islamic Kingdom of Patani to become part of Thailand. So I doubt the Malay Muslims of Patani territory experienced cheer with this roadshow, especially since part of the former Kingdom of Patani is still under a State of Emergency that deprived portions of Patani citizens of any constitutional rights.
  9. Good reason to plead as the inflation rate in Thailand decreased to 1.08% in February 2025, falling 0.22% year-on-year in April 2025 with Thailand GDP projected to grow by up to 2% in 2025. Economic indicators that Western countries, especially the USA would envy.
  10. Several times over the past year or two Myanmar jets have flown into Thai airspace as they conducted combat actions against Myanmar rebels near the Thai border. In response Thai air force has belatedly responded after Thai border incursions. Finally, the Thai air force has begun monitoring flight vectors of Myanmar fighters into Thailand to proactively (and responsibly) intercept intended Mynanar incursion into Thai airspace. Thailand answer with two F-16s is the best response.
  11. ... the Earth's Moon which has had unrestricted access to Earth's skies.
  12. How about the Buddhist Kingdom of Thailand remove itself and its Buddhist citizens from the once sovereign Islamic nation of The Kingdom of Patani that had been annexed by Thailand in breach of Thailand's Peace Ageeement with Patani and allow restoration of Malay Muslims to their full religious practices, traditions, language, and heritage? Such a path had been begun by PM Yingluck in 2013 to discuss semi-autonomy for the region. The Thai military overthrow of the Yingluck government in 2014 instead imposed to now a State of Emergency to deprive the Malays of any constitutional rights under Thai law.
  13. Trump's massive federal savings through DOGE - big tax refunds? Any disappointment must be attributable to Biden - right?
  14. Trying to copy China's HS rail failure? "China Sees More Stations Shut Down as High-Speed Rail Debt Crisis Deepens", 25th May 2024 https://english.pardafas.com/china-sees-more-stations-shut-down-as-high-speed-rail-debt-crisis-deepens/ Remember that Thailand's HS rail system leading to China was initiated and approved by the NCPO under its absolute powers that bypassed any economic review of the project.
  15. Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) is not government-sponsored, but it does offer plans within the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHB). The Federal Employee Program (FEP), a BCBS offering, is a nationwide option within the FEHB for U.S. federal government employees and retirees.
  16. If America simply reduced its import needs from Thailand to the level of Thailand exports to America, there would be trade parity according to Trump's trade "formula." But Trump doesn't do "negotiations," he does anger and ego.
  17. Thailand needs to hustle and expand its rice market: South America, Africa aside from South America, Russia? Long a problem with Thailand rice production has been cost of production. The Thai governments over a decade has subsidized rice production costs but never instituted permanent production efficiencies, ie., automation, more equipment handling.
  18. Would be nice to avoid the 3 hour layover in Taiwan for US connection
  19. Thai Airways fleet includes Airbus A320s, A330s, A350s, Boeing 777s (various models), and Boeing 787s.
  20. "Harvard sues Trump administration over efforts to ‘gain control of academic decision-making’," https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/apr/21/harvard-sues-trump-administration The resistance grows: "Multiple Colleges Join Harvard in Fight Against Trump Admin" https://www.newsweek.com/multiple-colleges-harvard-fight-trump-admin-2059807 "A group of U.S. universities sued the Department of Energy on Monday over cuts to federal research funding, joining Harvard University in fighting President Donald Trump's administration."
  21. I don't remember the source but heard that once 'Thailand' is entered as country of residence, all required information following can be skipped. Pending an update to the TDAC form official rollout.
