Looking forward do U.S. expats face the risk of retaliation by nations burned by Trump?
Greece 2019. They were plenty PO'd about the US, suddenly turning 180 degrees and allowing Kurdish allies against ISIS, to be attacked by Erdogan's Turkey. Thank you Donald Trump. The Greek people themselves were fine. It was the security, immigration arriving and leaving . Heavier still if you were crossing the land border, Istanbul to Thessalonica. All it took was a phone call from Erdogan and Trump was licking the bootheels of a ethno populist strongman. One which, it should be noted, had allowed, made money from ISIS oil shipments plus funneled Syrian/Iraqi refugees through Turkey to the EU. How this would play out with four years of a raging Trump administration is guesswork. Expats would be advised to have a plan B (and C). As years go by the once friendly locals might start throwing rocks.

British Man Arrested in Thailand for 20-Year-Old UK Murder Case
That in 2019. The DNA only confirmed the photo match made by the Thai family. British Police did came to Thailand to interview the suspect in 2023. He refused to talk. Two years later and here we are. Granted there has been a lot of late night car door slamming in Kirkby Overblow to police, still.

Trump’s First Days: A Calculated Storm of Chaos Guardian Opinion
Having a "liberal bias' is one thing, propaganda another. FOX by legal definition in the US is a media entity that gives 'opinions about the news'. That means they do not have to report anything if they do not want to. That is beside what opinions they hold. Opinions and lies can be the same thing.

Trump's call with Danish PM sparks alarm & International Tension
Good way to fracture NATO Being that Donald Trump is not smart enough to understand that, by himself. Those five or was it seven(?) phone calls to Putin, during the Ukraine conflict, helped him with this idea.

British Man Arrested in Thailand for 20-Year-Old UK Murder Case
It has taken the Brit police twenty years to get off their collective flaccid bums and finally do something. Now, I have always been impressed by the Thai Police's laziness & general incompetence, but I doubt they can match The Yorkshire Plod .... in this case.

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
Hoping to get clarification on this. If under the 60,000 Baht threshold for assessable income. You don't have to file a return. .... BUT 120K & 220K ?? Can I get some clarification on those two other limits posted? IS that based on age, work or lack of work etc. Is that for the same thing - when to file and when not to file? Thanks greatly.

WISE transfers taking a minimum of 2 days now?!
Bangkok Bank, but a friend had the same experience with sending to KrungThai.

Trump says we will have greenland
Prince Vlad is laughing his ar-e off. Biden tightened up NATO before he left. Trump thinks outside the box. If the US goes to war with a NATO member, NATO is roadkill. Vladimir Putin scores two. A successful settlement to his disastrous invasion of the Ukraine and NATO dead. Guy is doing backflips. Was it just investing in Trump golf courses? Promising Trump hotels in Russia? Or was it something else. Did he really honey trap Donald a decade back. Whatever, everything is coming up roses for the ex KGB man.

WISE transfers taking a minimum of 2 days now?!
Wise for 1 K, works fine but ... . Two months ago, sending 5K, then 2K, in US dollars. More than 2 days for the 5K, BTW. Annoying, and as sending a larger amount ten days later. I did a wire transfer direct from my US bank, to be positive of the arrival date. I'm sure it cost more than WISE. I would do it again for any large amounts.

Trending:The world is waking up to the Woke Progressives
He bleeding links or cut & pastes from the New York Post & a few other right wing tabloids. Does he ever post anything original? Posting right wing tabloid froth on a right wing forum .... "great personal risk" right, It is tough to do that, he is living on the edge. BTW no idea where he actually lives, but I picture him up in Shasta county, maybe even Shingletown, frothing with the frothers.

what money is taxed 2024 ?
Thanks to the OP for putting another piece of the Thai tax puzzle in place. As this thread is going the way of all the other tax threads ... Friends & I, are not filing. No taxes owed by Thai tax rules on the book. Records will be kept, if ever the Thai government gets their wind up about it. Much ado about nothing. .

Electricity in Amazaing Thailand(Chiang Mai).
12 yesterday, & 13 at 609 AM, in CM this morning. Likely a bit colder than that in the 'eastern suburbs'. As in next to a rice field outside of San Khampaeng.

Uyghur detainees in Thailand fear imminent deportation to China
They keep that pretty quiet. TIT. Easiest overland route to attempt. They were heading to Malaysia when caught. The overland borders up by Sinkiang (Xinjiang) province, China, are heavily guarded. Lethal force routinely used.

Electricity in Amazaing Thailand(Chiang Mai).
Interesting. On lower ChangKlan there was no correlation. NO increase in power outages during the hot season vs the rest of the year. The only likelihood of having the power go out, was when a thunderstorm kicked up.

Concerns Mount Over Fate of 6 Thai Hostages Held by Hamas in Gaza
I recall articles from months back which said no Thai hostages were still alive. I assumed it was from the Thai government but who knows. As usual with sources, news sources, here in the Kingdom no clue what is true or BS from some government Somchai at Karaoke club. Thailand's policy of saying as little as possible, about the Thai workers in Israel, to protect the delicate sensibilities of Muslim middle eastern tourism, works against itself yet again.

Here's Your War Monger, MAGAs
Trump is just being Trump. First term he would make outrageous statements, about every week. As much to get attention as anything. If people believe his BS, and get worked up about it, all the better. He loves the attention. Its getting time for the first members of his administration to get fired, quit, or get charged with felonies. (Ok Gaetz, already happened, but ... ). That was his first term, a hot rolling clusterpuck of chaos. People coming and going. Mostly incompetent, then replaced by incompetents, no difference. It's what mooks want, so Trump gives it to them. Note - Trump dethroned Howard Stern, as King of The Mooks, a decade back.
