Yep, a couple of very wet days already in my area of Bangkok. Couldn't walk down the soi last Thursday as it was flooded. This is just the beginning.

Sept & Oct usually have the heaviest rains, but it will certainly rain in August too. Heavy downpours last around an hour or two.

I'd say that 90% of Thai male adults (not well educated) probably smoke. I guess it's cheap, & they're addicted now. They possibly think it's cook & manly too.
As for me, it's a disgusting habit!

Prefer cats to big slobbering dogs.

I think 3 times last year the supermarket I frequent often was accepting cash only coz the system was down. No cash meant an hour or more wait. People should always have more than one payment option which includes cash.

a) you pop along to your local tax office and get a TIN (Tax Id No), or
Some posters have claimed to try that already on other threads, but have been told, "there's no need to file!"

Quite possibly. Maybe unlikely but who knows. For me, I'm on Non-O retired but never spend more than 180 days in Thailand. Wonder how that might affect me.
The Doom & Gloom merchants might say: a) you don't have a tax form so you can't extend your visa again.
b) you don't have a tax form so you can't have a bank account anymore.
These will 'probably' not happen however.

All gone in Bangkok Villa & BIG C for a few weeks now. Could it be cargo problems? Anyway, too hot for tea atm.

I'll be doing it.
I like sitting in the dark. 🌃

Lots of good advice above.
Attitude is very important.
Stay calm & walk slowly.
Failing that, buy a Rottweiler & Alsatian.

A year away from Thailand and another in Blighty instead was just too much for him.

Nowadays take a taxi as infrequently as possible. Today not cheated but as soon as I told the old, miserable driver in Thai to take the short cut instead of the main road he just moaned nonstop, wouldn't take me into the condo parking, just said get out here you can walk. No thanks of course when I paid him. Talk about customer service. 👎
Walk whenever I can.

"From January to July 2023, 46,925 New Zealanders entered Thailand. Extrapolated to a full 12 months, this will equate to around 80,000 visitors in 2023, down on the 112,680 who entered Thailand pre-COVID in 2019."
Well I'm AMAZED by these numbers, But Then again it is AMAZING Thailand
Well I'm amazed by the word Extrapolated!

Bangkok Bank put my address in English on a bank statement for me so I could use it for my new UK passport application. No problems at all.

Used to take a taxi every day, but now walk as much as I can & sometimes a motorbike taxi. Got fed up just sitting in traffic or at red lights. Once in a while I would notice a really fast running meter too. 👎

Short on funds, but looking for a nomadic lifestyle, Japan certainly wasn't a good choice!

Even love is dying due to digitalization/convenience/laziness.

True, and your tax guide is informative. The trouble is all the repetition now.
Time to relax & just post new info from tax experts & Thai RD.
