That's the "people's party" for you. Campaigning against sex, with a bit of racism ("black women") and discrimination ("foreign ownership") thrown in.

"I can't stand the smell/smoke" sure sounds less bigoted than "I can't stand people getting high".

When I read the title I thought you needed a plastic surgeon to remove some breast implants gone bad.

Let's see if the Trump administration wants Saudi Arabia's King to wear a suit when he visits.

As someone said: "Ronald Reagan must be turning in his grave".

Loads of new useless apps out there and counting, and one of the really essential ones is going to disappear. I'm beginning to think the purpose of new "technologies" is to screw people. I was relying on Skype to call the helpdesk of airlines in case of rebooking etc. Now I'll have to waste a fortune calling with my regular phone number, listening to "all our lines are busy at the moment ..." for minutes on end. This is what ChatGPT tells me about calling with an AIS number: "AIS 003 Service: This premium-quality service offers rates starting at 3 Baht per minute for calls to over 230 destinations. To use this service, dial 003 followed by the country code, area code, and the destination number" I don't like the phrase "starting at".

You're not so big, so I assume you is small too.

Is a dry herb vaporizer a vaping instrument? Is this about the cartriges or about the tools? I had a good mind to buy a "dry herb vaporizer" next week in Pattaya as I don't trust what they put into the disposable vaping pens.

Quote: "regular methamphetamine laced with crystal meth". Really? Crystal meth IS methamphetamine. So the new threatening drug is meth laced with itself. Great news here.

Indeed they're going to be ousted, until the election after the next that is. Right-left-right-left-right ... The binary trap.

Except the non-AfD parties will keep refusing to build coalition with the AfD. Instead, they will go on piecing together weak minority left-laden governments exluding the AfD. This means that the left, although outnumbered in any election, remains de facto in power.

Many men want to look down on men who pay for sex. When I see what they have for free as a woman, I think SHE would have to be the one paying me.

What you call "proof of address" can be a puny letter from the hotel you are staying in. It can even not be a letter, just a computer print out from the hotel's list of guests will suffice in Thailand. Or it can be a TM 30 from your landlord. In order to open a bank account in most countries you will need a certificate from town hall or a utility bill. You don't get a utility bill on your name unless you live somewhere long time. Again, it depends on what you choose to call "proof of address". If your foreign bank is satisfied with a "certificate of residence" from IO, by all means go for it!

Tourists can get a SIM card at the airport, although it may come out cheaper from the AIS or TRUE shop in Bangkok. No paying with QR in real time unless you have a Thai bank account I think, although means of payment like Google Wallet or Apple Pay should work but are less often offered by businesses. Thailand a very safe country relatively speaking, although women will like to be potential victims even in Thailand. Even when visiting the Vatican the wymmyns will want to be considered at risk of rape & assault. They wear their victimhood like a badge of honour.

If I understand right, in the online filing you don't provide supporting documents. You file what you know to be true and keep the supporting document at the ready in case they call you to come and explain. My understanding is also that on the online form you don't mention any amount you know to be tax exempt in Thailand. For example my remittances are exempt as per LTR visa. I didn't mention them on the form. I only mentioned my Thai dividends together with the withholding tax. If they call me to check whether I didn't conceal any remittances, I'll show them my LTR visa and the Royal Decree.

I was told the "residence certificate" we get from immigration (for instance in order to extend a driving licence) was not really a "proof of address". It was more a document that certified we were living in TH legally. I once saw a real proof of address issued to an expat. Very different from the above "certificate of residence". Someone from Thai city hall came to his home to confirm he was living there. I think you need a tabian ban for someone from Thai city hall to agree to come to your home and check. If language is the sole problem, getting a certified translation should be easy.

The soul: "the ghost in the machine" (Richard Dawkins).

A short heads-up about glitches when e-filing Form 90. I managed to send in my Form 90 (with a request for refund of paid dividends) after some trial and error. On my MacBook I couldn't log into my e-filing account at all. The system returned an error message when I sent back my OTP number. On my iPad I could get into my account, fill in the form and complete the whole process up to the very last step but the final submission didn't go through. Worse still, when I relogged to start from scratch, all my figures were gone. My personal data remained unscathed. Finally, on my Samsung Galaxy all went smoothly and I got an acknowledgement of receipt from the TRD. P.S. I ended up filing on my own - taking things into my own hands - after the tax agency I contracted seemed to be making nothing but a dog's breakfast of the whole thing.

You can get a "letter of residence" from any hotel where you stay, and with that go to the immigration office corresponding to where the hotel is located in order to get a residence certificate.

I'd like to buy new models more often but the hassle of re-installing banking apps and verification apps prevents me from doing so.

I remember someone explaining that the removal proper of the amalgams cause more contamination than keeping them until they fall off by themselves.

Whether the US or Canada, men in both need to board an intercontinental flight to get laid.

I also hope Trump puts the Southern Poverty Law Center on the list of terrorist organisations, for that's what it is.

Which point might that be? An animal species that has irrevocably poisoned its own planet beyond livability has no moral right to murder people on account of a few grams of white powder found in some pocket.

Another problem with the death penalty is that with few exceptions it only gets applied to men. Still, in my view the real issue here is that drugs is a victimless crime and should be legal, no less.
