Will new 50k max bank transfer impact 65k for Immi?
The limit is set at 50K per transfer up to 200K per day. So you can just split a transfer greater than 50K and send them one after another.

Thailand Post Suspends US Parcels as Trump Axes Tax Exemption
Kind of silly. It doesn't affect the people sending packages from Thailand. It is the people receiving the packages that will have to pay the fee.

Crab Omelette Scandal: Michelin Chef Faces Jail Over B4,000 Dish
Looking at pictures of the menu from google maps the omelete used to be 1,400 baht but they taped over that with 1,500 baht. So the issue is not whether the menu stated 1,500-4,00 baht. It doesn't. Was there ever a copy of the bill produced?

Trump Plans Zelenskyy-Putin Meeting as EU Seeks US Guarantees
Seems like Trump just wants to be on the cover of Time magazine for winning the Nobel Peace Prize award. I hope Ukraine doesn't give up territory to stop the war. Russia had already taken part of Ukraine several years ago. Most likely they would just rebuild their military for a few years and start over again.

More "Wise" Bad News For Wise Customers Residing in Thailand
I use Schwab to just directly tranfer funds to my Thai bank account. It's free to wire money. It shows a $15 fee but it is immediately rebated. This is for the Schwab One international account. I don't know who it would work for a regular Schwab account that requires a US address.

High Pressure Shower Head
They have some on Lazada. I bought one that said it increased pressure 900%. It did nothing. What I did notice is that the holes in the shower head were very small. I guess that was to increase the pressure. I did see some that had impellers in them. Maybe they would work better.

Driving License Agency
My wife was showing me one of those ads. It was 1,300 baht for a license. You just had to send them copies of the required documents. It said they would send you a picture of your new license before you had to pay. It's so easy to fake everything nowadays. So just because they show you your new license before mailing it doesn't really protect you. I don't know if they are scams or not. I might try it just to find out. It's not that much money.

Retirement Visa early renewal . (Pattaya Immigration)
You could just leave and let the visa expire. Then come back visa exempt and start the non-o process over again. Which will also move your extension date to a later time that may work better with your schedule.
