I have openly mocked people in MAGA hats or with Trump t-shirts in Thailand and the Philippines. You don't see us walking around in Harris/Biden shirts because we are not in a cult, so we don't feel the need to do dumb tribal stuff like that. Especially in a foreign country.

walk into any government hospital. there are blood pressure machines at every floor and for every type of doctors office inside that are free to use.
I will check that out, thanks! Anyone know of Pattaya Memorial Hospital has them? Or Pattaya City Hospital? Those are the two closest to me.

Many larger pharmacies will do this for you.
Real pharmacies, not Boots/Watsons etc.
Define a real pharmacy. You mean like Fascino? I thought Boots/Watsons were also real pharmacies?
Do it for me as in they have one of those battery operated testers they will let me sit down and use, or do it for me as in they have public kiosks?

In my opinion what he was doing was legal, in that he couldn't be charged with tax evasion. However, he could be claimed as a taxpayer by some other country, like his country of citizenship or the country where he was banking. It would be a civil lawsuit, not a criminal one.
I don't think citizenship determines your tax residency. At least not in Canada, but I am pretty sure it's the same in most other G20 countries.

Back in Canada, there are public blood pressure checkers all over the place. I can't find anything like that anywhere in Pattaya. Anyone know of a way to get my blood pressure checked that does not involve buying a tester or paying to see a doctor? I think there used to be kiosks around that did that at one time, but so far I have not been able to find anything like that.

I don't find Jomtien to be expensive at all. Maybe some of the night markets and nicer hotels but easy to find inexpensive options too.

But the moment world wide taxation comes in they won't get a penny from me as most of my income would be taxed at 35%. It's just about worth it with the current system but these new arrivals will very easily leave, and leave more of a glut of empty properties.
5 million is when your marginal tax rate becomes 35%, so you would need to be making more than twice that for "most" of your income to be taxed at 35%.

Your statement makes no sense. Residents (1-year visa holders) could be asked to provide their Thai tax return on visa renewal. Easy as pie. Same for 180-day renewals of DTV holders. If the days in Thailand during Jan1-Dec31 is less than 180 days, then you are exempt. Additionally, a lot of us are already taxed at higher rates in our home country - if we still claim tax residency or are American. Otherwise the tax rate here is a pretty fair 35%. Compared with 52% that I paid in Canada.
Not that straight forward considering that immigration and taxes are two totally separate gov't agencies with very different mandates. Even governments in the 1st world have a hard time collaborating and sharing data across agencies.

The 35% income tax level applies for income over 5 million baht within a tax year. Income tax begins at 5% and jump in 5% steps; so, much less than in many Western countries, except tax-havens.
Otherwise known as the marginal tax rate. A relatively simple but often misunderstood tax concept.

Are these guys gonna report their worldwide income in Thailand and then pay Thailand taxes on it if they stay longer than 6months in a calendar year?
DTV has nothing to do with taxes, other than allowing people to easily stay over the 6 month threshold at which point the tax rules apply. They are totally separate gov't departments as far as I can tell.

It's truly sad that the young and gullible are the most likely to fall victim to this inflammatory rhetoric.
The convicted felon fraudster only attracts the best people. Everyone says so. Ask anyone. His rallies are full of them. No empty seats.

QuoteWith election day just three days away, a teenager and apparent supporter of former President Donald Trump was arrested here Saturday at a rally in support of Vice President Kamala Harris and charged with punching a 70-year-old woman in the stomach.
A 17-year-old boy — wearing a T-shirt featuring an image of Trump raising his middle finger in front of an American flag background — punched the Harris supporter, knocking her off her feet, according to police and the woman, Stuart resident Kathleen Tomasko.
The 17-year-old was arrested once police, hired by the event organizers, arrived on the scene at the north end of the Roosevelt Bridge on U.S. 1. He was charged with battery on a person 65 years of age or over, according to Stuart Police Department spokesperson Brian Bossio.
Hitler youth organizations across America must be excited at all these new prospects coming out of the woodwork. Should help keep them out of trouble I supposed. If it's not for that they would probably be shooting up a school somewhere.

An 18-year-old Donald Trump supporter is facing a felony charge after police say he threatened two Kamala Harris supporters with a two-foot (60-centimeter) machete as they campaigned outside a Florida early voting site.
Imagine being so indoctrinated as to throw your life away for that low life orange scum bag. They can always join the hitler youth I suppose. Those people will accept anyone as long as they are white.

Buy and activate an UltraMobile PAYG SIM, $3/month.

Then get a Google Voice number (free), as a cost-effective back-up option.
SMS verification will sometimes not pass the phone number security check if you use Google Voice. No way of knowing for sure until you try and that is no guarantee it will continue working.
I couldn't find anything about international roaming on the paygo site so I am guessing it can't do that. So you would have to be in the US to use that service. Better off getting a US phone number from voip.ms, which can be done from Asia, and using their SMS-to-email feature to get a GV account set up.
The most fullproof way to maintain a US/Can number, that should always work for bank SMS verification, is to use a SIM provider and plan that has the WiFi calling feature. That way it's a 100% legit mobile number that passes security checks, and avoids international roaming fees.
Note that WiFi calling is not the same as VoIP services like google voice or voip.ms. It's done through your mobile SIM provider, so it's using a 100% legit mobile provider number.

Did AseaNow go with a lower bidder troll farm or something because the quality of trolling around here sure has gone downhill lately. No real person is this stupid, to have this kind of response, thinking it's a gotcha or something, not even MAGA.

Who cares about how many inches short he might be.
Far more interesting is the fact that he panders to the moronic dregs of American Society.
I do, because he looks funny. He also appears to skip leg day, which makes him look even funnier.

If that's the best the Harris campaign can come up with, she's getting pathetically desperate.
Saying someone who wants to send our boys off to war should lead from the front, in the trenches, is threatening violence?
No, it's threatening accountability. Wars are always fun and easy from the safety of your VIP bunker.
This is easily the dumbest thing I have read today. Then again this is AN and the day isn't over.

Are you also an ex navy seal? Seems to be a lot of those around too.
Most of the trumpers I see around town can barely get up off the barstool and are all talk. Just like their convicted felon hitler loving orange hero.
