"Hello - Doi Suthep - where are you?" cough cough cough
Spoken by a long-term CM resident who obviously doesn't care about his health or his family's health if he has one. If you can't find a better alternative to living in CM and think running air purifiers and walking around with a N95 mask is the solution, you've got more problems than just the toxic air. Also, you must be joking if you think the government is doing what they think is best to handle it, but if you are serious, then you are also delusional.

Great way to live.

What happened to all the posters who live in CM that say the pollution is not that bad and doesn't affect them? Are they all gone or embarrassed to admit they still live there?

Thai government plans 7% VAT on imported goods from May
So does this mean every time I order supplements from the US, which I do regularly, I will now have to waste time going to the post office and waiting in line to pay this idiotic tax? No problem, as I will only be in the LOS (Land of Stupidity) for another 3 months as I move on to a more hospitable environment. The best part of Thailand for many should be leaving it and that's exactly what I plan on doing.

Credit Bureau sounds alarm over 610 billion baht in housing loans in default
Get ready for the dominoes to start falling as all this unpayable debt continues to skyrocket. First, the consumer defaults which then drains the banks as their cash inflows continue to decrease requiring government assistance which itself does not have the funds to bail them all out. Money printing starts sending inflation through the roof which in turn brings down the currency making things even worse. The same thing is playing out in the US and this, along with several other things will dethrone the US from its current world position. All in all, the coming months are going to prove quite challenging which is probably a great understatement to where things are headed. Those not fully prepared are going to be in for the shock of their lives and all this is just around the corner. Tic toc, tic toc........

You just confirmed my last post.

Anyone have a Bakong digital account?
Why is there even a Cambodian forum as there are hardly any replies to the questions asked? Total waste of time.

Thai-Chinese Chamber urges neutrality in US-China conflict, deeper China ties
Not meant to be funny. I am someone who prefers to be a realist and sees the world for what it really is, not what some people want it to be. On the other hand, too many ignore the facts for what they are and suffer from cognitive dissonance and a normalcy bias, however, what is coming next should change all that. Tic tock, tic tock......

Align with the US and you will go down with them and the few western allies they have left. The handwriting is on the wall - the West goes down while the East rises. US hegemony is about to come to an end and sooner rather than later.

Opinion: Making me pay tax is fine but where does it go?
Even if you are exempt from paying taxes on retirement/pension funds, they may still require you to file out another gxxdxxmn form(s) each year. It'll be just another way to track you and the assets you have. Instead of making things easier for long-time expats they continue to find ways to do the opposite. Face it - they don't like farangs - they only like the money you pump into their economy. Time to head out and that's exactly what I plan to do as I think the best thing about Thailand will be leaving it.
