I was suggesting you try Maps.me but if it does not fill your needs no problem.

I wonder if Georgia would be next since Russia has occupied parts of Georgia since 2008. Also since Georgia does not have a border with a NATO or EU nation it might be considered less important to protect. I am sure that Russia is also very upset with Finland becoming a NATO member. That is a very long border.

I mostly use google maps but I keep the app Maps.Me on my phone for the times I lose internet. The Maps.Me app allows you to download maps when online and then seems to work OK when the internet disappears. Not sure how good it would be for you since you take a lot of out of the way roads but might be worth trying. I have tried using the google option to download maps but have found it does not work as well without internet.

Giving some 20 year old former hacker access to everyone's social security numbers and personal data. What could go wrong? The deep state may be the least of your worries with Big Balls playing with your social and all your other info in government systems. One of these wunderkinds had to quit after being linked to racist posts on X. Scary these people have not gone through any type of background checks.

Are the pictures from the Red Lotus Viewpoint? I have attempted to see red lotus from a few places and these photos you have seem much better than what I have seen. I think I may go to Udon in 2026 to see the red lotus but not sure if it is worth the ride.

When you did all this for the filing what language did you communicate with. My Thai would not be up to the level required and I doubt my local RD office will have the English level either. The money I remit to Thailand is not from income but from savings but have no idea if they will accept my foreign bank account totals as proof. I don't plan to attempt to file for 2024 but may attempt to file next year for 2025 because I will be remitting a lot more than the 100K baht that I did in 2024.

Thanks for this clarification. I didn't know that the agents could do this but it would make me more comfortable using an agent. I assume your agent can get you a certificate of residence (CR) with your Chiang Mai address as well?

Maybe outside the scope of this thread but how do you deal with things that require a certificate of residence (CR)? Do you have the Pattaya address on the CR while living in Chiang Mai? Would you be able to buy a motorbike in Chiang Mai using an CR from Pattaya?

If you like these shows you may also enjoy Irrational. It only has a 7 on imdb so not rated as High as High. I have been watching both High Potential and Irrational. I am also watching season 24 of Law and Order so have my fill of cop shows.

Thank you for the clarification. I was confused by the 210K and it has nothing to do with if you are required to file at this amount but it is the amount that is taxed at 0% if single and under 65.

Is this ฿210,000 for all retirees or only those 65 and over? I thought I have to keep my remittance under ฿120,000 to not have to file a return.

Of the movies on this list there is not one that I have seen that I would give a strong recommendation for but only one that I would have been upset to pay ฿100 to see. I watched them via torrents so only cost me my time. The one I hated was Blink Twice The ones that I watched that I thought were OK and maybe even worth ฿100. Twisters Road House Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare The Fall Guy Deadpool & Wolverine Dune Part Two The 2 I liked best from this list were TV shows. Shrinking Nobody Wants This (I am a bit embarrassed to admit I enjoyed a romantic comedy) There are a number of things on this list that I have not watched but will at some point. I can't recall any movies from 2024 that I would highly recommend right now but am sure there was something and that it was covered on this thread within 2024.

I don't recall anyone talking about The Sticky on this thread. I finished watching season 1 yesterday and thought it was OK. It did end on a bit of a cliff hanger and it is unclear if there will be a second season.

Do you have any tips about how to get Google voice to work while in Thailand? Everything I have read is that you have to be in the US to get it working.
