  1. You get YouTube Music with Premium, meaning uninterrupted toons, saving to your device, and good algorithms for discovery of new stuff. Love it.
  2. Actually there are studies on this theme. When there are lots of passers by or a crowd and someone needs help, everyone tends to leave it to others. When there's only one person - you - you tend to help. As an example - a guy lying face down on the street .. if dozens of people are walking by and not paying him any attention, then we tend to do the same... maybe he's just drunk or... But if there's nobody else around and we see him, then most people will go to him to check he's ok.
  3. Don't worry about travelling with all your Vitamins and supplements.. I always do. Many responses to the OP offer opinions on vitamins rather than helpfully addressing the question... 🤔
  4. I read it the other way. She was the abuser, not poor Chokchai.
  5. I have a Withings Scanwatch Horizon which does pulse, activity tracking, sleep tracking, breathing disturbances during sleep, oxygen saturation, ECG, atrial firbrillation warning ... not BP though - not sure there is anything reliable for that yet. All measurements from the Withings are medically certified. It actually looks like a nice watch too.
  6. Learn how to set default programs in Windows. Switch to Brave browser. (Incidentally the mobile version blocks ads on sites like this one.) Run a Windows cleaner like CCleaner to get rid of junk and speed up yr PC.
  7. Yes she sounds like she could be depressed and needs some help.
  8. I have a UK investment asset backed by property that's paying fixed 12% pa.
  9. Absolutely true. My wife has no idea of her real birthday. And it was a few years before her mum went into town to register the birth. She thinks she's about 3 yrs older than her passport age.
  10. A nice glass of fresh clean cold water.
  11. There is more honesty in a relationship with a working girl?
  12. Link on DGT https://www.roywalkerwealth.com/2019/09/beat-IHT-taxman-with-discounted-gift-trust.html
  13. You need specialist advice from someone who takes time to understand your circumstances and objectives and propose the best solutions. This could be someone with more relevant experience than a typical high street accountant. Solutions can include QNUPS and Discounted Gift Trust. Both move assets outside of your estate. The latter creates an income stream for you as well. They sound complicated if you are unfamiliar, but a good practitioner will make the process straightforward.
  14. Agreed. I have Premium and the music streaming service is fabulous... including download all my playlists to my devices. Well worth the money.
  15. Yes inbound transfers from say GBP or USD require fx into THB. This supports demand for THB helping the strength of the Baht. A reduction in remittances, if large, might somewhat soften the Baht against other currencies.
  16. This already exists and in place for well over 100 countries, not just OECD. It's for information exchange, to facilitate taxation but does not reflect on taxation policy of any country.
  17. Use a Thai Baht account on Revolut and connect it to Google Pay on your phone. You can 'tap' pretty much everywhere now in Thailand, except for cash-only transactions.
  18. It's easy to be cynical about the tailor shops on Sukhumvit area, if you have had a bad experience. Ultimately you do get what you pay for, but it should be reasonable prices for well-tailored shirts and suits made from quality materials. I highly recommend "Andrew and Walker" tailors - You can have a conversation with the tailor while he's measuring you up. Discuss what style you're looking for, help you choose the material (not force it on you).. etc. A very reassuring process. The final product is excellent high quality. They are inside the Lotus Hotel Soi Sukhumvit 33.
  19. Some gout sufferers are advised to drink 3+ litres of water a day
  20. "That's a big 10-4, little fat buddy!" ????
  21. November weather is the only thing i miss from the UK... Crystal clear blue sky, cold and fresh air, walk in the country with autumn leaves..
  22. For international business comms as well as saving files on my pc, 2023-09-13 is a logical and understood format regardless of what the local format is.
