#1 ... the taxes they receive from imports for starters. Think automotive. Along with the industry / employees, to sell & maintain imported products.

Poll: Expats -- do you identify as a globalist?
KhunLA replied to Jingthing's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
That's false, and I'm living proof. Apply yourself, and make better decisions. Live within your means, and at some point, think of your future. -
So - how do you see climate change effects Thailand?
KhunLA replied to Thunglom's topic in General Topics
You implying it hasn't recorded any temps higher since 1913 ? hmm ... that would mean things are getting cooler, not 'warmer' ... ???? Kool ???????? -
Routed to ??? Maybe in the UK, just happens to have an Indian accent.

Inmates released following "Kratom" decriminalization
KhunLA replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's a bit immoral to keep people in jail for something that is legal now. More a question of why it was illegal to begin with. -
Thailand Plans to Open Borders to 400,000 Foreign Laborers Next Month
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
C19 is a multi billion / trillion $$$ business. As long as there's no competition, they charge as much as the market will bear. With the need for 400k workers, seems strange Thais are struggling financially for lack of income, or is that, lack of motivation to work. -
Maybe not, and start DD asap. When I switched over from lump to DD, I was shy a few months also, as started after my last extension. The always compassionate IO simply issued me an extension for couple months to meet the 1 yr time, then I reapplied for the year long extension afterwards. Of course that cost 1900 for the short (2 months, I think) extension, then another 1900 for the usual year long extension. All good with me.

Haven't had any problems with LAZ, although I do make a vid of every deliver / opening of, as they want some type of verification if not falling under their 'no prob return policy' ????

If the very minor change is going to hurt them, they should probably consider being someplace else. -
US Social Security direct deposit via Bangkok Bank
KhunLA replied to Galong's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
About half baht total off best rate for the time of deposit. As good or better than other options to transfer funds into the country, and best satisfies the IMM requirements for long term extensions. -

That's completely incorrect, as it hasn't 'rocketed' either way in the past decade. L/H .. 28 / 35, and gov't likes to keep it around 32 mark against the USD. So in reality, not much fluctuation at all unless comparing to the GBP, which was all about Brexit, not Thailand. -

Or other people can simple earn their own. It always seems the people who didn't bother to earn more, want those that did and have, to give it to them. Get your own, as I deserved mine, and I'll spend it as I please. If wanting to share, that will be MY choice, not yours. Most that have too much, do share, and much more than most others saying they don't deserve. In the USA those haves, pay up to 40% taxes, vs most other pay <3% taxes. Sooner or later, you run out of other peoples money. -

All seems to be stable here, ????at least the last 20 yrs since I've been here, and the centuries before that, if my readings are accurate. Every year or so and there's droughts, along with every year there's flooding. Nothing much changes. Only surprise is, after a few decades of slight modernization, the country still doesn't have a handle on water management. ???? -
I've driven around the country during C19 the past 18 months and never had to stop at any inter-province check point. Probably passed through 40 provinces. All daytime driving. Other's experience may differ. Did the NE a couple times, then over to the N twice, down to Krung Thep, to Kanchanaburi, went S down to Phatthalung, over to Andaman Sea side, back up via Ranong and via Surat Thani & Krabi a few times, and never 1 check point.

A nightmare - testing positive on arrival in Thailand
KhunLA replied to anchadian's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
"AXA insurance will cover any medical bill incurred if you are sent to hospital quarantine due to proximity. "???? That's 1 company ... any others ? I did state ... "That your insurance may, or may not cover the expense of." As read news-blip of ins co. not covering.???? -
I thought it was common knowledge also ... "Ford sold 328,275 in the United States in 1971, its first year. Pinto crashes caused the death and mutilation of 900 occupants after their cars burst into flames after rear-end collisions, according to Wyden in The Unknown Iacocca" "Of the 1.9 million Vegas produced between 1971 and 1977, "we know of 14 that have been involved in rear impact crash fires involving injuries," Noack added. "In the 14 crashes, 13 persons died; five in one crash alone. The reason the controversy over unsafe gas tanks has so far centered on the Pinto, he said, was because Ford decided to fight lawsuits from crash victims, while General Motors chose instead to settle Vega lawsuits out of court."

Thailand becomes first foreign customer of AT-6 light-attack aircraft

Could have bought 100 Bell 505 Jet Ranger X, (1.2 mill each) to compliment the Bells they already have for $120 mill, and have 23 mill left over for brown envelopes, training & spare parts. Would think they to be more practical for border patrolling. No need for landing strips. Oh wait ... new contract to be award to build new short landing field airports. Wonder who will get those contracts to build on who's land ... Shh
