So it's possible any information on those phones could have been collected. Scary. I'm guessing most of these loans don't follow Thai Law "Section 654. Maximum Interest is 15% per year Interest shall not exceed 15% per year; when a higher rate of interest is fixed by the contract, it shall be reduced to 15% per year."

From State Department Website "The Department of State and the Department of Justice are announcing a reward offer increase of up to $50 million under the Narcotics Rewards Program (NRP) for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Nicolás Maduro for violating U.S. narcotics laws." At least 125 Foreign Mercenaries from 25 countries have been arrested in Venezuela over the years. The problem with this is the expense, intel, training involved would definitely require government assistance. If not government assisted you have one Big IOU from the US you are counting on receiving. You are not going to be able to just switch the Pilots on the Presidential Plane and fly him to Miami.

Stopped sitting at Jomtien Beach because of Hawkers. Sit down and 3 or 4 will immediately run up. Then every minute another walks up to ask you. Don't want to be rude but just want to relax, look at the view, have a drink. Maybe need to place a sign on the Table in Thai "Please do not disturb" Anyways we go to Sattahip now.

Another manipulation on the numbers. Up from last week. How about comparing it to last year same time. A friend advised the Baht may be linked to the price of Gold. Again a number of factors in play. Baht is strong against USD, Yuan, Yen and Rupee. Earthquake news has probably faded. War may deter a few until they realize it's contained along the border. Scams, Dual Pricing give a negative image. Chinese may be worried a little about kidnappings. Vietnam is heavily advertised and promoted. Currency conversion is better for some countries. Considered low wet season. Don't think the DAC is much of a factor.

Wow the already have Helicopters also, smart guy

Definitely try cleaning the AC in the Bedroom and angle the direction of air away from the bed. It seems the girlfriend and I will start developing sore throat or runny nose close to the 6 month mark from last AC cleaning. Otherwise seek the best specialist you can find

Aviation crew reports crewed trials planned for late 2025. Reports of 3 to 5 prototypes being built in 2025. Past 6th round of funding. My questions are which buildings in Bangkok have landing pads they will be allowed to use? How much will it cost for an hour, distance, per person? I see maybe 5 total being used for tourism, high net worth individuals. The other problem is times. Different people will want to travel at many different times and I don't know what the ceiling is for 2 or 3 people to use the aircraft. Lastly. They already have Helicopters that can travel at similar speeds and distances. Bangkok to Pattaya is listed at 186,500 baht for 5 people. I'm assuming you would probably depart and land at the airport and not a building rooftop.

I was going to ask if you installed AVR's. Most wall adapters can handles up to 240V. If you have sensitive electronics take the reading on the AVR output and make any adjustments if needed

My advice, plead for a warning and accept a fine if given. Smile, be nice, say sorry and hopefully you will just get a warning.

Its definitely a complex situation. In US a refugee who enters legally has a right to work. I'm not sure how the Refugees in Thailand are entering the country. Next what jobs are available? Are there Thai's who can work these jobs? Do the Refugees have the skills to work the available jobs? What type of Visa are they given if any? If they are no longer employed will they need to leave the country? Article mentioned August 1st so seems like they need to make some quick, tough decisions about housing, food, medical and schooling for any of the Refugees.

Don't buy much variety of Wine here. Jacob's Creek Shiraz cab was 599 baht and is now 445 in 7-11 that's a 34.5% decrease. Article I read on Nation Thailand talked about 10,000 items being imported from US at 0% Tariff. 1,000 still have some tariff. We will have to wait and see once this is finalized as the couriers will need to have this figured out.

Many problems to resolve. First is most of the teachers don't have the necessary education, skills, and\or teaching tools. Next is adequate school funding. As far as I know from personally paying for schooling everyone must pay to go to school. I don't believe there is any government assistance for children to go to school. This needs to be addressed. Lastly does the government actually want to improve the education system As mentioned above this would be a huge task that would take a great team to accomplish. Unfortunately I believe unless your sending your child to a quality private school it will be the same when the next generation graduates

I know back home they built an advanced waste to energy plant that was efficient and very low on pollutants. It was Not cheap. This is probably the only way to go to even attempt to manage the problem. Unfortunately the cost will probably make this option unattainable

Got it Thailand. Subsidize Trains in Bangkok. Inflate charges for International Flights. Quiet Thailand may start Dual Pricing at Fuel Stations were the cost are subsidized. False, "At present, AOT's charge of 730 baht for international departures pales in comparison to regional rivals like Singapore’s Changi Airport, which charges around 1,400–1,500 baht." Singapores Cost of living is 1.7x Bangkok Rent, transportation, food ALL cost a lot more in Singapore. Equipment, labor all cost more. How about an audit of the books, itemized expenses and cost. Are you hiding something or think no one will notice? Probably that foreigners have little ability to effect change in Thailand unless outside pressure from their home country is applied.

Generally you won't have time. The key cities and targets, wind direction, road congestion or destruction are All factors beyond our control. Thailand doesn't want to escalate any conflict unless provoked. That said Thailand wants to make a deal and work through the differences. Lastly I don't think Thailand has or will need a missile defense system.
