  1. AI just gave me this when I asked if the crypto tax holiday has been published in the royal gazette… Thailand's Royal Gazette has published details of a five-year capital gains tax exemption on cryptocurrency trades conducted through licensed exchanges, starting January 1, 2025, and lasting through December 31, 2029. This exemption aims to foster a more robust digital asset ecosystem by encouraging trading on regulated platforms. Key Points: Exemption Scope: The tax break applies to capital gains from cryptocurrency trading conducted on exchanges licensed by the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Duration: The exemption is in effect from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2029. Purpose: The goal is to attract investors, boost the digital asset market, and establish Thailand as a leading crypto hub. Regulatory Alignment: The move is also intended to align with anti-money laundering standards and promote the growth of the digital asset sector. Impact: This exemption is expected to generate significant revenue by attracting more investors and encouraging trading on local platforms. Additional Information: The Thai government expects the tax exemption to generate over 1 billion baht in annual revenue by stimulating market activity and attracting foreign investment. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to create a more favorable tax regime for digital assets and promote Thailand as a digital finance hub. While the initial announcement was made in June, the specifics, including the exact wording and implementation details, were published in the Royal Gazette.
  2. Where do you draw the line? How much is too much? For a watch? A car? A boat? A plane? A house?
  3. Yes
  4. I just want to come back and spend time with my grandchildren, I have no interest in politics anymore
  5. Carney has impeccable character, he used to be the Governor of the Bank of England. Regarding Trump holding all the cards, he has shown his hand. With all due respect, Mark Carney hasn’t shown his cards yet, he’s still dealing his hand in the background with America’s previous trading partners. IMHO, this is the calm before the storm.
  6. CEO of FORD admits China EV quality is superior to FORD https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1KJDNh3dQX/?mibextid=wwXIfr
  7. You haven’t seen his cards yet (to use a Trump expression)
  8. You can make a lot of money with watches. 20 years on the waiting list, you pay under ฿2 million and sell over ฿7 million
  9. Thai exporters better turn around any cargo ships heading to USA that departed in the last week. Trump wants a tariff to correct perceived past injustices, so even offering no tariffs won't work. Leaving BRICS will help, in any event, IMHO you can't achieve anything better than what Vietnam got.
  10. It sounds more like an insurance scam to me. You would never leave an expensive watch at a courier. That watch probably cost about 1.6M baht, but that one and others can be worth a lot more 2nd hand because they are like unobtanium new. Here’s a couple of watches, if you know, you know…
  11. Carney is a planner. He won't shout about what he is doing or going to do. You'll see it in the fullness of time, but Canada will be the winner in this. Anyone who thinks Carney isn't talking to Ursula Von Der Leyen and Claudia Sheinbaum, is living in a dream. That doesn't mean they'll all take the same approach, but I hope they do. Mexico is the one with the bigger problem.
  12. I think the real lesson here is register and test the charging apps you might need well before a long journey. Plug'n'Charge takes all the hassle out of charging, this means you plug in and it starts charging automatically, you get 24 hours to pay your bill afterwards, available at Reversharger (eg BYD) and PTT, maybe others but I haven't tried.
  13. BYD should have chargers available on a Sunday, check with the Reversharger app. You get 24 hours to pay your charge bill.
  14. To be precise, adults having sex with teenagers is actually heberphilia, not paedophilia.
  15. In 2002, Trump told New York magazine, “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy.” “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
  16. The pilot has already testified that Donald flew on the plane.
  17. Well. we do know some of the passengers who flew on Epstein's plane Donald J. Trump Bill Clinton Kevin Spacey Chris Tucker Bill Gates Prince Andrew Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Violinist Itzhak Perlman U.S. Sen. John Glenn Former Senate majority leader George Mitchell Now who on that list is a known sex addict...

  18. Years ago I bought a new Pajero Sport for our business. The dealership was run by 999 Corporation, they lost the Mitsubishi franchise and refused to register lots of customers vehicles. I was part of a class action lawsuit brought by Mitsubishi Thailand for dozens of owners, after 3 years we got our white plates. On the plus side we didn’t have to pay Road Tax for 3 years.
  19. Thanks for that. I bought 2 of these M to F charging cables 3 years ago for use on EA Anywhere AC sockets, one single and one 3 phase. I’ve never used them.
  20. There is no locking mechanism present on any of the cables 😞
  21. You can get M to F cables (I have 2) but if you use them as an extension cable, they won't lock together.
  22. Yes, but in Chiang Rai
  23. It’s interesting to see what has quietly been going on in the background. Steel Canada was previously selling to America, Steel the UK was previously buying from America. Previous quantities of Canadian Steel are no longer available for America to buy. The UK is buying from Canada and no longer wants American Steel in the old quantities. Plants are being retooled right now and this is happening all over the world. Markets are changing.
  24. Canada isn’t alone in realigning partnerships, it’s happening worldwide. America is the loser in this.
