  1. The headline hovers very close to "click bait" - it would be more appropriate to mention that online banking will be restricted to their app, and no longer supported through web browsers. And you might also want to explain that banking through web browsers is an order of magnitude more prone to "unfriendly attacks" than using an app (preferably not using WiFi) on a smartphone. A number of banks have gone away from web based banking already.
  2. According to Grok: In Thailand, the requirement for a work permit for foreigners participating in a condo owners' committee or serving as its chairperson, particularly for unpaid roles, is a nuanced issue. Based on available information and Thai legal frameworks, here’s a clear answer: Thai law, under the Alien Working Act B.E. 2551 (2008), defines "work" broadly as engaging in any physical or mental activity, whether paid or unpaid, unless explicitly exempted. This includes volunteer or charity work, which generally requires a work permit unless specific exemptions apply. However, the application of this law to unpaid roles in a condo owners' committee is not explicitly addressed in most legal texts, leading to some ambiguity. ... In practice, many foreigners serve on condo committees without work permits, especially if the role is unpaid and involves co-owners managing their own property. Authorities have not been reported to enforce work permit requirements strictly in these cases, as the role is not seen as competing with Thai labor or affecting national interests.
  3. Is there an equivalent for alcohol use? Asking for many friends.
  4. The sneezing part was a reference to the fact that anything and everything is labelled an act of antisemitic terror by Israel - and that's before any sort of investigation has even begun. Could it have been a robbery, plain and simple? Is that UN ambassador (or we, as it were) judge, jury and all the rest? That's not how legal systems work - all I'm saying.
  5. Quoting the UN ambassador, who immediately pivots the crime to antisemitic terror, as the original article said.
  6. "Sorry, I sneezed" "That's an act of antisemitic terror"
  7. I could have sworn that this Police Chief Pol. Gen. is human.
  8. Going at a slow-ish 60 km/h, in two seconds, the car has crossed 33 meters.
  9. Could that maybe be a good enough reason for not driving at all? Just saying.
  10. Some mobiles (camera settings) flip the stored image of selfies - i.e. your right eye is now on the left-hand side. A mirror doesn't do that. Makes quite a bit of a difference.
  11. And of course, as always, there is reliable information that that is the case. Thailand tried to negociate with third-party countries regarding relocation of the Uyghurs, as an alternative to sending them back to China. There hasn't been a country that would have taken the Uyghurs - whatever that tells us.
  12. Daily Mail - the source for unpolluted truth and straight recounting of facts.
  13. What are "permissible limits"? I wonder if those would apply to an open-air karaoke restaurant/bar in the middle of otherwise quiet non-entertainment buildings on Pratamnak? The owner seems to be the main guest, and the speakers are rock concert grade - as is the noise, somtimes until 1 a.m.
  14. Now there's a good Monday morning laugh: Starmer to the defense of British tabloids.
  15. I would strongly advise to watch this guy here, and what he has to say. As long as there are no clear instructions from the Thai tax authorities, having someone talk about what's not set in any way (by the proper authorities) makes little sense...!
