So what brought you here — and what's keeping you?
I didn't notice any new Draconian rules, just enforcement of current ones. Also get my yearly retirement extension, and so simple. Just have to provide my address & income. Same as it always was since 2000. Nothing has changed for non 0 visa, just enforcement due to so many expats not following the rules.

Tourist Highlights Walking Safety Differences in Thailand
No ... but my neighborhood doesn't need an app to track human feces ... ... "Snapcrap is a mobile application developed to report and track human feces on streets and sidewalks in San Francisco," ... App developer's thoughts ... ... "Arriving in San Francisco I moved to San Francisco in May of 2017. I was fresh out of college and had spent the previous 6 months desperately searching for a job in the Bay Area so that I could finally fulfill my dream of moving to California, the greatest state in the country. I can’t believe I actually thought that at the time. It took me about 1 day to realize that this place was in major trouble. Take a quick walk through most neighborhoods and you’ll notice the human and animal waste, needles, trash, and other refuse that litters the streets and sidewalks. Don’t believe me? Just check out these photos." ... https://medium.com/@miller.stowe/snapcrap-why-i-built-an-app-to-report-poop-on-the-streets-of-san-francisco-aac12382a7ce

Gas - issues buying petrol in Pattaya ?
@BuffaloRider Unlike our EV's LFP battery, that doesn't use child labor for cobalt, I'm guessing you use batteries with cobalt for your devices; phone, laptop, and other appliances, devices that use AA, AAA, C, D or any of those numbered coin lithium batteries. Also guess you know the meaning of hypocrite, and how it applies to some people. Hope you at least use rechargeable lithium batteries, as I do.

Have you changed… or has Thailand?
Neither, I'm the same, as is TH. TH upped their infrastructure, but the rest is the same.

So what brought you here — and what's keeping you?
Lots of expats left TH about 6 yrs ago, as that's when TH Imm stopped accepting, self sworn, unverified 'income statements' from embassies. Coincidence I'm sure.

London police to resume arrests over Palestine Action support
I'm way too anti semitic to listen to a Jew on YT, probably spewing how better than muslims they are. They deserver each other.

Tiger Woods DUI Arrest After Crash in Florida
I guess his 2017 DUI didn't teach him anything, or his rollover crash (again) in 2021, that almost killed him. You can't fix stupid

Tourist Highlights Walking Safety Differences in Thailand
She forgot to mention in CA, walking around human feces & drug needles. I've never had a soi dog chase me, or even bark at me, I think. Lots barking (pets) from behind walls or fenced areas.

Gas - issues buying petrol in Pattaya ?
BS, stop reading MSM controlled by big oil. Enlighten yourself about LFP batteries, having no cobalt in them. Our battery has a low estimate of lasting about 1M kms, which is 50+ yrs driving for us. That should outlast the car itself, along with myself & wife. Ignorance is bliss. You should google info yourself. ... "Yes, the 2022 MG ZS EV facelift features a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, specifically for the Standard Range model to offer improved stability, longevity (up to 3,000+ cycles), and allows for regular 100% charging." ... 1 cycle = 340 kms Key 2022 MG ZS EV Battery Details: Battery Type: LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) - Prismatic cells. Myth: Electric cars require cobalt, the mining of which u...False. The Tesla Model 3, Wuling’s Hongguang Mini, the best-selling electric car in China, and Tata Motors Tiago EV all use LFP batteries, which contain no cobalt.https://www.rethinkx.com/faq-and-mythbusting/myth-electric-cars-require-cobalt-the-mining-of-which-uses-child-labor

Dual pricing practices in Thailand continue to divide opinion
Really don't have a problem with dual pricing. Certainly don't expect to be covered under the gold card program at govt hosp, since not paying into the fund. I can go to USA National Park, unlimited, for small annual fee, admits me free as a senior, although Thais / non US citizen pay full price at all. Not easy to enter USA or EU on tourist visa, or free/low cost. But USA get visa exempt here in TH. Stop crying, and walk with your feet if don't want to pay.

US Votes Against UN Slavery Resolution at General Assembly
So my tax dollars are to pay for someone who wasn't a slave, who's ancestors may have never been slaves. Or, they may have been slave traders themselves. When I never owned slaves, my ancestor didn't own slaves, lived in a state (PA) that helped & protected escaped slaves, and fought in a war against slavery. OK, makes perfect sense to me. Any children out there you'd like me to pay child support to, who's mother I never had sex with.

Gas - issues buying petrol in Pattaya ?
Yes, I do the same. Others seem to buy this thing called petrol, that they have to go to the petrol store, to pay for. They get in line, to wait for someone to puts it in their vehicles. Doesn't last very long, so they have to go back like every week to repeat the process, and keep buying more. It's not good for their motors, and seems to degrade every part it comes in contract with, and the exhaust rots out the pipes. So they have to replace parts and buy a new car, every 5 or 10 years, before it dies. They sell the old ones to poor people that can't afford to buy new ones. They seem to be able to keep them running a bit longer. Strange addictive habit, but they seem to like the way they vibrate, sound & smells. Go figure.

Send Report to Social Security (Form 7162)
I always send 2 back, snail mail, cheapest, and space them out about a week apart, the past 5 yrs or so, as once they didn't receive. I did receive warning of no filing once, submitted form again and SS deposit was NOT interrupted. Why I send 2 now.

Trump Threatens to “Unleash Hell” if Iran Rejects Deal
You know what I learned from life, that people that accuse or suspect people of being pedo, or immoral, or whatever, are usually what they accuse the people of being themselves. Sadly, knew 2 pedo, confirmed, and the also spewed hatred of. One was a police officer, and when arresting a pedo, went ballistic. Couple months later, he had a grandchild, and that kid will be really confused. Shall I call him grandpa or daddy. Yea ... pedos can spot a pedo, and no need to ask why in my world. IMHO

Trump Threatens to “Unleash Hell” if Iran Rejects Deal
As I stated earlier in the thread, some of y'all need to use different news sources. IMHO, negotiations are going on, indirectly behind the scenes. If google about it, you may even get some headliners & links to more information, such as this ...

Trump Threatens to “Unleash Hell” if Iran Rejects Deal
I put ... IMHO ... in a lot of posts. If I make a statement, as true as it may be, then I have to back it up with a source/link, which I sometimes can not do. But an 'opinion', does need to be justified, so my post won't get deleted. Like calling Trump a pedofile, it's false, everyone knows it, but it's allowed, apparently, since an opinion.

FBAR fee (USA)
Thanks for the correction, Treasury vs IRS, as I think I've only filed 2 in 25 yrs, last one a few years ago. Actually, when first here, and kept a deposit 400 or 800k for extensions, I was ignorant about FBAR, and never filed one. Although my address was USA for all USA govt things. They also didn't require so much paperwork when opening a bank account back then either, so not sure how much they knew, if anything was in my account. Definitely 400k at least for a month or so. Oh well, use monthly deposit now, and take it out before it hits $10k worth.

Trump Threatens to “Unleash Hell” if Iran Rejects Deal
Don't follow either one of those. Or MSM, as most require to register, or at least turn off ad blocker, which I won't do. Also means I don't follow most of the news posted on AN. Most news posted by members is left BS. Don't agree with much news or articles posted be staff, so usually bypass them also. Like how their username is colorized, so I don't even have to read the title. I come in on the last post, so if not interesting, don't bother opening the thread, especially if not the first page. Means it's been answered, or it turned into a Trump topic already. Food, movies & EV are about all that interest me. Been stuck in house past week and replied to some political threads, and regret that, as they try to wear you down with silly repetitive replies. Oh well ... back to the dog, and avoiding the trolls. 4 notifications, replied to 1.

FBAR fee (USA)
Obviously she has to file, and I thought it was one of the simplest IRS form I ever filed. Google this, and show her the results, and she may change her mind. ... how many people been penalized for not filing fbar ... I can understand her not paying camera generated traffic tickets, as she was not obligated to. Thai court ruled against the enforcement of them. BUT ... come the end of this month, they have a new system, and they WILL be enforcing tickets issued after 31 March 2026. google this for info ... ... thai camera speed tickets to be enforced after 31 march 2026 ...
