In Ratchaburi they burn the sugarcane field rubble after harvesting it. I think how it works is if the fields are manually harvested they burn them first. If harvested by machine they burn the rubble afterwards. I don't believe the figures they are quoting in the article. I see fields burning everyday during sugarcane season.

Soon to be sued by the producers for making them look bad...

From what I have read only about 15% of all plastic is sent to recyclers. Then out of that about 40% is not actually recycled but either dumped or incinerated.

could be leaf miners. I think here there is a type of small fly that lays larvae inside the leaf. hard to kill by spraying. mostly it is recommended to remove the leaves as soon as you see evidence and burn them to prevent more from hatching.

People are still falling for the scams such as you have a package but need to pay 33 baht in postage to receive it. Then they continue to take the 33 baht until your account is empty. They choose a low amount because most people have it set not to receive a notification for transaction less than 100 baht. It's not the bank app. It's people giving their information to scammers.

My wife has migraines. She was taking a similar medication. She went to the hospital to see our normal general practitioner and he said she should stop using that and switch to Replax. It's pretty expensive, a box only has 2 pills. These medications are used only once you start feeling a migraine coming on. She saw a neurologist about a week later and he gave her a couple of medications that are supposed to help prevent migraines before they happen.

A migraine is not the same as a headache.

Yes if you leave at least 2,000 baht in the account they will not charge fees for inactivity. If less than 2,000 baht after a year they will start taking 50 baht a month until the money is all gone.

When you open a Schwab One international account you don't automatically get the debit card. There is another form to fill out to request one which also gets you checks you can use. I don't use the debit card much to get money from an ATM but if you do there are no fees plus they immediately refund the fee charged by Thai banks. If I remember correctly the daily withdrawal limit is $1,000 but you can only withdraw $500 at a time. If you try and withdraw too much they lock the card and you have to contact them to get it unlocked. I found that out the first time I used it and tried to withdraw the $1,000. Also when I wire money to my Thai account they show a $15 transaction fee but that is immediately refunded too. So sending money to a Thai bank is free. (Except they don't send in Thai baht so you are subject to the exchange rate the Thai bank gives you.)

They ended up taking my Thai Drivers license as proof of address. Your address is on the back side of license. Good thing about Schwab is you don't have to have anything translated for them. They do that themselves. If you have any utility bills in your name they will accept that too.

It can happen in any country with progressive tax rates Sometimes a raise becomes a demotion when your income just bumps you into the next tax bracket.

I had a Thai person tell me one time they had to burn leaves in Thailand because they don't decomposed here like they do in other countries.

Yes they do. I have the bruises to prove it.

I do. Ouch, stop hitting me hun.

It's fairly common to get some eyelid twitches.

Several years ago I downloaded the form from the immigration website. Filled it out and brought to immigration. He looked at it and asked me where I got it. I told him from their website. He handed me a blank form to fill out again.

About 8 years ago I rescued a young girl that was drowning in a local reservoir. By the time I got to her she had gone completely under. A guy had taken a group of kids to play there and she wandered away from the group. No one but me and my wife saw her, our dogs were swimming near her. If we had not seen her she would have been dead. After we got her back out he came over never said a word to the wife and I. Just started yelling at the girl. (probably telling her how much trouble he would have been in if she died)

They will not send it back. Option 3 is to abandon the item. Someone there will keep it. I had something similar happen with a different item. The first email asked for a copy of my passport. After I sent it they replied back that a copy was not good enough and I needed to mail my passport to them. Which of course I refused to do. It's best to tell Amazon what has happened. They might credit you for the item.

Video is from last night in Ratchaburi. Photos from a few days ago. Construction worker at our property was commenting about how foggy it was that morning. I was trying to explain to him it wasn't fog. You have to love sugarcane season. 20240213_192106.mp4
