...or a general we already know.

The daily advertorial about Thai Airways has become tiresome.

A transvestite hiding a surprise. Nothing new.

I blocked him a long time ago. Everything he posts is made-up clickbait.

More deserved than Obama's, it would be.

Thanks for the information. That's for visa renewal. What would it be like for obtaining a retirement OA visa for the first time?

Where did you go?

Traditions are being lost 😄

I suppose this means that people who previously didn't pay taxes on remittances from abroad, and were required to declare them starting in 2024, will no longer have to do so. But the truth is, we're all just guessing. Even tax advisors and even the Treasury offices.

"For those residing in Thailand for 180 days or more in a tax year, the Resident Rule applies, making them liable for income tax on international earnings. This upcoming legislation aims to refine these rules, providing much-needed tax relief for many."

Last year, I was looking for screen protectors for my phone on TukCom and found them incredibly expensive. I ended up waiting until I returned to Spain and buying one on Amazon. It's great quality and for a fraction of what TukCom asked me for.

Do these people pay bribes by bank transfer? 😆

That is, they recognize that the Thai army entered Cambodia and seized the temples that are in Cambodian territory.

But at double the price of three years ago, due to the rise due to inflation and the rise of the baht.

I would never live in a condominium where apartments are rented by the week with Airbnb. Unless you don't want to buy it to live in, but rather to rent it out.

With a tourist visa or visa waiver, you're no longer allowed to open a bank account, ever since the money-laundering problem a few months ago. Of course, you can do anything with an agent, but we were talking about the legal way to get a retirement visa: opening a bank account and depositing 800,000 baht.

Meanwhile today... " Thailand's tourism sector is grappling with challenges as the Thai baht strengthens, making visits pricier against global currencies. Visitor numbers are dwindling, and recent safety concerns add to the apprehension. The Ministry of Tourism and Sports revealed foreign tourism earnings of around 938 billion baht from January to August 10, missing the annual target of 1.77 trillion baht. Foreign arrivals have decreased by over 6% compared to last year, totalling 20 million visitors so far."

i) All of the above

One day they say one thing, and the next day they say the opposite. One day they write an article about why tourism is plummeting, the next day they publish another one commenting on the explosive rise in tourism. And the problem is that both are official government news.

What are you smoking? 😄

The problem is that the "religious celebration" that is being held at the municipal sports center is the "lamb festival," in which more than 2,000 lambs are sacrificed. The city council has deemed that a sports center is not the appropriate place for it and that there are more appropriate locations. And since the municipal government is formed by the conservative Popular Party, in coalition with the right-wing VOX (analogous to Meloni's party in Italy, to put it mildly), the social-communist Spanish government immediately jumped in to attack them. In other words, it's basically a political issue in which a simple municipal health and administrative matter has been exploited to try to turn it into an issue of racism, xenophobia, and anti-Islamism.

Well, the reality is not like that: Muslims have not been banned from celebrating the Feast of the Lamb. They have been banned from holding it in the municipal sports center, as it is not considered an appropriate place for the slaughter of thousands of lambs. It should be noted that Jumilla has two mosques in addition to other facilities where the "ceremony" could be held. The government has not forced the city council to allow it, because legally it cannot. It has only issued a request to the city council to do so, for political reasons, but it is not mandatory. It should be remembered that in rural Spain, it was once very common to celebrate the slaughter of the pig, where each family raised a pig year-round, and on Saint Martin's Day, the family would gather, slaughter the pig, and prepare sausages for the entire year. This tradition was banned by law, as now only veterinarians can slaughter animals, it must be done in a facility specially designed for that purpose, and it was also considered cruel to slaughter a pig. So many people are now wondering why a centuries-old Spanish tradition was banned, but Muslims are allowed to do exactly the same thing, and even in public.

Do you know which agencies do them?
