Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part I
i'm just going to ignore this and get the o-a visa every two years and withdraw from my home country bank via the atm. if i get hit with a no filing fee or entry is refused i will decide what to do at that point in time, or just move to siem reap.

River dinner cruise
it seems like it could be weird if it's a dinner cruise and i'm there stag talking to other couples and their dates, but maybe there would be other singles there. i'm no james bond.

Is it me or Phnom Penh is actually kinda expensive ?
is that beach bar area by the pier still there? what about victory hill or those beach areas to the south? when i was there the chinese casino's were just coming in i think. i remember one being built by the dolphin roundabout. i don't mind that so much, i like las vegas and stuff, but the chinese establishments seemed unwelcoming if you were not chinese, i was uncomfortable going in.

Your projecting your own degeneration onto other people. Your seeing what you want to see. It's you.

It's because you have a big ego from working out just like Arnold. You think you know what I need, but no amount of working out fixes what's in your head.

that's funny. cambodia is where i met that guy that said it was paradise and if you don't like it's you... he's probably living in the bloody guesthouse i mentioned earlier.

Look at this one I found 🤣: I think the main difference between them was that Arnold grew his ego along with his body, while Mike didn't. Mike seems much more comfortable with who he is, while Arnold seems to "need" more to be Ok.

many guys do end up dying there. they are called deathpats. guys that washed up from other areas of asia and ended up in cambodia. usually drug addicted. i looked at a room for rent in a guesthouse in sihanoukville in the victory hill area. there was blood on the bed, bloody cotton swabs on the pillow and floor. i think it was from drug addicts shooting up in the room. cambodia is also the place where that lady put poison in my coffee and tried to rob me.

go to siem reap and see the temples. i lived in siem reap a year or two and liked it. i don't recommend sihanoukville at all. the bus station is just a couple streets over. https://www.giantibis.com/

where are you now, downtown? the cheap rooms can be pretty bad/dirty. when i was there i just started booking airbnb's which seemed much better, safer, cleaner. watch out if you wander around at night. there are many drug (meth) addicts wandering around which is different then thailand/vietnam.

Food and drinks in cambodia are the same or more then thailand for the eateries you are used to. The local markets are not that great and you risk disease unless you are careful. Meaning you need to scrub everything and i would probably do an alcohol wipe. You can visit that big local market near the river and grand palace to see what i mean. I did not even shop there for edibles and was kind of used to it. Rents were probably about the same as Thailand when i was there many years ago, but you get less quality in Cambodia.

You don't have to follow politics. Turn the TV off, buy a cabin on land somewhere and live your life without focusing on other people's problems. I guess you could get mugged at the grocery store 🤷🏻♂️.
