Assange Wins Appeal Against US Extradition Order: Legal Battle Continues
KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in World News
That would be fair enough, if cheney, bush & blair also stood trial for crimes against humanity -
Already established business, same with tobacco, and too many vested in it. Along with both are a great tax revenue stream. Let those 2 deadly, profitable, tax generating, allowed vices sink in, when govt states they care about your health & well being ... worldwide Weed is controlled, because it is, a weed, an any idiot can grow it, eventually.

Thailand Tax on Expat Pensions 2024
KhunLA replied to Southsealad's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
OP ... you might want to actually read the DTA yourself, and not rely on YT for info. Maybe there's a UK govt site you can register for any updates to the DTA if they come about. -

British family leaves UK for Thailand for lower costs of living
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Agree, and even if you own your home and car (no payments), you have RE Taxes (or rent) to deal with. And the one I replied to, in USA, even if having work covered health insurance, you have silly deductibles to pay, at the doc, and specialist, and pharmacy, that cost more than the pharmaceuticals here. If retired, you at least have Medicare Plan B to pay, every month ($170 ?) Could I live just as comfy back there/USA, as here/TH, if we sold up ... probably, but only because everything would be paid for, w/no monthly cost, except Plan B, and a separate carrier for wife, which probably together, again would match or exceed my monthly expenses here. Low RE Tax out in bumFK nowhere. Then we have to feed ourselves, and forget going O&A, as you're not going to find a hotel anywhere decent for <$100 USD. If OP can swing it here, and especially with online business, kudos to her & family. My daughter is doing the same thing next month, and quitting her job, as takes time away from her online business. -
Fees for cardless withdrawal coming
KhunLA replied to digbeth's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
So they push electronic banking, because it saves them money, and now they're thinking of new ways to charge you, for helping save them money ... Once there's a cashless society, do you think there will be more fees or less fees in the future to access 'your' money ? The ultimate control over you. ... no vaccine shot ... NO MONEY ... unacceptable social media post ... NO MONEY You just can't fix stupid -
British family leaves UK for Thailand for lower costs of living
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How do swing that ? I live in TH, on a silly low amount of money, and mandatory monthly bills/cost are <฿10k / $275 USD, and wouldn't even cover my RE Taxes, for my primary residence when I was there, 23+ yrs ago. Even ฿15k / $415 if adding all the extra coffee shop stops & munching, and still ridiculously low. Also would barely cover that RE Tax now. -
Hold on, give me sec ...

Longer than normal heatwave ... not really, only in the MSM. Rains came as they always do, beginning of May. Sometimes end of April. Raining season does include August, for most of the country, so don't be surprised if it rains, or, if it doesn't while here. It's the weather ... always in motion

State Department Issues Travel Warning for LGBTQ Pride Celebrations
KhunLA replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Just covering their A$$s, as don't want a bunch of people crying if something happens ... "why didn't you warn us ? " If you read all the travel warnings and took them to heart, you'd never leave the USA ... ... hmm ... stay here and spend your money here, comes to mind, as a good motive Remember all the travel warnings for Thailand during elections, protests ... etc Even now, 'remember to mask up & get your shots. Get all those vaccines, as Big Pharm needs more profits. Leave the country, just use common sense ... oops, too late. Goes for all men & woman, and anything in between. Don't go waving your rainbow flag in a Muslim No Go Zone., Or for the chickies, No Hijab or lots of skin showing. White males, leave the USA/NATO flags at home, along with your Star of David t-shirts, or kippahs. Don't see an "Don't travel, save the planet" warnings ... Big Oil needs their profits. Besides, more travel, more carbon tax, and we get to waste more of your hard earned money. -
It is budget friendly. Personally never understood funerals. Last thing I would want is a bunch of people around me, trying to console me if wife or kid died. Leave me alone, as got enough to deal with. And what a waste of money. Mother passed, and cremated, no wake, no funeral ... for what ? She was dying of cancer for months, and anyone wanting to say good bye, express thoughts or love had that opportunity. Friend of mine asked 'no wake/funeral'? Why ? Any A-hole who didn't come while she was alive, doesn't deserve to attend a party after she's gone. ON TOPIC ... (as always) ... any one or family member that can afford an international holiday, can afford to pay for their own repatriation. 47 yrs old, should have assets to sell if can afford a holiday. Got life insurance, borrow the money against that. Certainly don't need a GFM to scrape together money for that, if so beloved.

Is a chiropractic adjustment good for you?
KhunLA replied to Rachel2023's topic in Health and Medicine
Really depends on the situation, and all they are doing is realigning everything where it should be. If that would solve you discomfort/problem, then it's good for you. If not out of alignment, then you won't get much of a positive effect. I've had excellent results, both in USA, and Bangkok. Dr Oat is excellent, at Healing Art Center. He may want you to get X-rays of neck & spine before he'll even touches you. -
USA, over 62, and lifetime pass + , is $100 USD. Add the Golden Pass, $10 (lifetime) and get 50% off camping and other amenities. (US citizens) Cruise up North in summer months, and South in winter months. Too easy, too cheap.

Dude, you're letting your ignorance show. And you didn't watch the vids, (especially Buffy's) as Xiaomi is first an foremost, a smartphone company.

It still crosses my mind ... Then I come back to reality Hotels are just too cheap here, or a reasonably priced, decent spec'd electric van would be my next purchase.

Electric Scooter Rentals Surface in Pattaya, Prompting Legal Issues
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
So is bicycle in the wrong hands. Aggressive at tops, 25kph. Surely you're not serious. Next time you're in your noisy, vibrating, smelly exhaust belching diesel truck, do 25kph for that reality check. Does make you wonder how the death rate here is so high, when village speed limits are 30, and most city & towns is 60 kph. SPEED KILLS ... no worries on GOGO though, unless not wearing a helmet and take a bad bounce. -
Drink bottled water. If you live here, find a supplier, RO bottles 18L is 20 baht where we are, not BKK. We get 5 bottles every so often, for drinking & cooking water. Delivered, too easy, too cheap. If don't live here, simply get the 5 or 6 L bottles, cost 30-45, depending who buying from. 7-11 has on the higher end of that price, Makro on the lower end.

Probably less, since they are not very powerful, and top end speed is probably 25-40kph.
