I believe in God coz otherwise I would be sad. I want there to be another life as this life of mine is not good and I work a lot to earn little. I don't want to grow old and die just like that. Also, I want to be reunited with my mum and dad coz when they died I cried a lot. If there's not God there would not be another life after I die would there? And I would never see my mum & dad again! I also want there to be another life so that the people who have all the money and can do whatever they want and have all the fun in the world go to hell while I can go to paradise, because otherwise it wouldn't be fair. This is why I believe in God, because if there is no God I don't feel good at all about myself and other people and that's why I'm sure there is a God and I believe in him.

Relax! Once you realise it's legal it ceases to be a nuisance. Would it be better if he didn't stop smoking tobacco? I bet it would, lol.

I wonder if he still has the physical stamina for the part at his age. The part contained some exerting antics.

So you read the hachet job the Guardian's and the Southern Poverty Law Center's femihags wrote in Wikipedia about the Red Pill. But do you mean unlike those "losers", you could attract a (half-way good-looking) GF in your own country but you still want to live in Thailand? What is is that brings you here? The sea-food dishes where seafood got replaced by mushrooms and chunks of ginger? The meat and fish dishes with mostly bones, skin and cartilage and harly any meat or fish? The scorching heat? The tone-deaf eardrum-piercing music? The road carnage? The plastic dystopia? Just curious. There are some communities out there like the Incels, the Red Pill etc. actually fighting for men's (sexual) rights and getting sued and banned for it. Signing your rights away in your home country sex-prison, then taking refuge in Thailand or the Philippines is no act of bravery. It still works somehow but not for long.

สิทธิเก็บกิน This is the title of the relevant Wikipedia article in Thai. Tip: find the Wikipedia article in English, then click languages and choose Thai. It doesn't always work as the Wikipedia articles are not fully liked between languages and some languages are sometimes still missing for a given article, but it's worth a try. The Thai litterally means "the thing you keep to eat". https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/สิทธิเก็บกิน

The Bangkok Bank app is ok. It also works on WiFi and if I remember right, also when the VPN is on. What I resent about such "progress" is that you are left high and dry until you manage to switch to the new system.

That's true. On the other hand, where have tobacco smokers been all these decades? Not demonstrating for cannabis legalisation for sure. Rather, quite comfortable with cannabis users being jailed or sentenced to death for "using drugs". Maybe it's now cannabis users' turn to be selfish and hypocritical.

Withholding tax on dividends is always paid to the country where the dividend originates. For example if you own Apple stocks, the dividend paid by Apple will be subject to US 30% dividend tax. If there is an agreement between the EU country and the US, this will result in 15% paid to the US and 15% paid to the EU country if you are taxable in the EU country and provided you have filed the W-8BEN form with your bank. If you are not taxable in the EU country, you'll only pay 15% to the US. The W-8BEN form requires a Thai TIN if you're declaring Thailand as your residence. It also requires your postal (mail) address to be in the same country as your home address, ie both addresses in Thailand. Capital gains on selling stocks are only taxable in the country where you are a resident. If the latter country turns a blind eye, like Thailand does, this means 0% on capital gains.

New studies see some connection/correlation between hearing loss and dementia and recommend people with hearing loss to get fitted with hearing aids. However, no one knows if being hard of hearing is what causes dementia or if using hearing aids can delay the onset of dementia. There are a few online apps on the web to test your hearing. The apps come up with some kind of audiometry results. No alternative to being tested by a professional though. Having your own voice amplified by the hearing aids is not bad. It helps you adjust and correct your own speech (your own tones in Thai?).

I suggest they should use the satellite to spot illegal burning and do something asap about it.

I think the finger print system is Samsung's, not the bank's. It is called Samsung pass. The app is as safe (or no more safe than) your smartphone when it is logged off.

Nothing wrong with medical insurance. What I object too is giving money to a useless Thai insurance on top of my more than adequate worldwide coverage.

Use a broker. Two I know are good are Phillip and Bualuang. Fees are very low when you sell or buy in Thailand. If an order is not carried out (limit too high/low) the fee is small. There are some good value stocks with high dividends. If you hold cash with the broker you earn interests like you would on a fixed savings account with a bank.

Vaccination is nothing, especially if it doesn't have to be recent. I'm more worried about the insurance part, if what is meant is in the future my having to waste money on a Thai insurance I don't need.

That is also my understanding.

There we go again. I was planning a 4-night visit to Angkor day after tomorrow. I am cancelling, as it is not certain I will be allowed back into Thailand.

So my Bangkok Bank Mastercard also needs to be switched on? I managed to pay one single Agoda booking with it, after which it never worked again on Agoda. My name doesn't appear on the card either. I assume that is what is meant by "unnamed".

I don't see more sexy girls cooking street food (or collecting laundry). The sexier the girl, the less willing she will be to do menial jobs. Try to propose your regular bar girl to earn a couple of hundreds more by cleaning your condo. She will take offence.

Yes I know. Trump derangement syndrome has spilled over to other right-wing leader since Trump is gone.

Saw Palmetto can mess up your testosterone from what I've read. Works a bit like finasteride. I took a stinging nettle root extract for a few months earlier last year. It coincided with an improvement of my symptoms but correlation is not causation. I was suffering from inflammation rather than enlargement.

Misleading title from the fakestream press. The Brazilians elected a convinced thief by a narrow majority as president. Not much to expect.

เอาเปรียบคนอื่น = to take advantage of another person

Of course online learning is efficient. For me it is the only way. If you are a beginner, try beginning with the channel "Thai growth expert" on Youtube: If you are an "advanced beginner" or at an intermediate level, this guy ("Kru Arty") and another one (Kru Jerry) also have lessons based on pictures in another Youtube channel called "Comprehensible Thai". Comprehensible Thai also features other teachers, Arty and Jerry are just my two favourites. The channel has something for every taste and every level. Remember: if you can understand Thai from the internet, you're set to be able to understand Thai in the street. Talking is another matter, but repeating what you hear ("shadowing") while paying attention to your own voice is the way to go.

Even in a Western country it would be your word against hers, and she is a women and you are but a man.

One reason to do incalls. I think fining the guest is standard in hotels. Blood stains are difficult to remove. I suspect for forensic reasons blood removal agents are not included in readily available soaps. Menstruation is the one thing that gets me in a tantrum with girls. I understand the strong muslim taboo against women having sex during or close to their period. The muslims are not the retarded fools they're often made out to be. They have laws to protect men against female crime.
