Anyone recommend the best things to do in satathip? 

Phala Beach is nice and almost nobody there on weekdays.  A bit outside of Sattahip near Utapao airport.  Close to Ban Chang.

On the Pattaya side of Sattahip is Sai Kaew Beach, also nice.

Yes, yes and of course yes. Clinton's slip up and Trumps serial philandering do not compare in any way shape or form.

You know they are all out of ideas trying beat that dead horse. Anything to distract from fish lips Loomer sucking the convicted felon fraudster off on the campaign trail.  

Apparently, the convicted felon fraudster likes Loomer's BJs.  I guess we will be subjected to stories about that for awhile now.  Of course, MAGA will just shrug it off as usual and pretend that's what Jesus would do.

I'll start, been growing since end of June after legalisation. Got a few different strains on the go, indoors and out. 

 

This one is a Fastbuds Glue aka Gorilla Glue auto in week four of flower. 

 

 

This one is the Fastbuds Blackberry Auto, also in week four of flower. She's a lot taller than the Gorilla Glue, with a big fat main cola! 

 

Been impressed with the quality of Fastbuds genetics, although don't expect them to yield massive amounts. 

What strains work best outdoors in Thailand?  Someone I know tried.  They all did well at first but never flowered and eventually died after several weeks.  That included a strain that was supposed to be day neutral auto flowering.

This is why I live central. I can walk if the 2nd road or beach road baht bus is in grid-lock 😉

But then you are inhaling exhaust fumes and PM2.5.  I develop a hack if I don't wear a well-sealed N95 mask everywhere I go.  Walking along any of the major roads is especially bad.  I try take back alleys as much as possible. 

Emission standards are low to non-existent in Thailand so it's a lot worse than in the west.  If Thailand was serious about improving their air pollution problem they would tighten up those standards.

Income - I'm wondering if there would be any issues if you put a small monthly income like $100 per month / $1,200 per year on an employment contract or a certificate of work letter? I was thinking about having a company which I am a director of pay me $100/month for bookkeeping services where I could be a remote worker. Or should I increase it to $500 per month / $6,000 per year to play it a bit safer? I'm trying to plan ahead to have this done a few months in advanced so the income is shown coming into the bank account each month then I will apply for the DTV in December.

 

Obviously in my savings account I have way more than the required 500k baht so just need to sort out the income side of it.

I don't think it should matter how much you make since you also need to show a minimum of 500k baht in a bank account. I don't see any benefit to telling them that you make more than the minimum.

Are you applying through Canberra Embassy or Sydney Consulate? (Sydney Consulate is only for people in NSW)

 

When applying, did you have to provide Accomodation Name, Travel Booking Confirmation and Proof of Accommodation in Thailand as per Page 30 and Page 31 of: https://www.thaievisa.go.th/static/English-Manual.pdf I'm wondering what if people don't have their airline ticket booked or accommodation not booked yet, as it's best to wait for the visa to be issued first before booking these.

 

 

 

 

Just go online to the evisa website and start the process.  You can save it as a draft and come back later.  You will see that they ask for travel dates, port of arrival, inbound flight number, and accommodation in Thailand, but don't require any documentation for it on the application.  Of course they may ask for that as a follow up via email, but they don't on the online application.

Based on all that, I would say that ideally you should have your flight already booked but don't necessarily need to have your accommodation booked.  Just put down where you think you might be staying.  If they follow up with an email asking for a booking confirmation, then go on agoda and make a cancellable reservation for two nights.  I haven't heard of anyone being asked for that additional documentation but it's possible. I have done that exact thing before when applying for a tourist visa after they wouldn't accept my PDF of an email confirmation at a condo but with the DTV they don't ask for that documentation in the first place.

Just imagine all the non-stop faux outrage and pearl clutching from MAGA world if Kamala was running around on the campaign trail cheating on her husband with some younger guy.

Legalising weed in Thailand, what could possibly go wrong?

Already legal in much of the western world.  What went wrong exactly?  Drunks and extended bar opening hours cause far more problems.
