Nobody knows what foreigners are going to be liable for because the Thai government has yet to make an announcement. Anybody who says they know is just talking out of there a--. However, you will be considered a tax resident if you reside in the country for 180 days in a year.

No, it didn't apply for approval because the FDA rejected the original trial data. The FDA wanted them to do another bigger trial but there were problems with that as well. It had nothing to do with production shortfalls because the US government had already stockpiled a supply of the AZ vaccine in the expectation it would be approved. They ended up giving it to Canada instead. I along with most people in Thailand I imagine had two shots of AZ with no ill effects. The side effects were rare but the blood clots did kill a number of people, at least 19 in the UK. The bigger issue though was that the mRNA vaccines were considered much more effective.

Look, whether you do or don't get boosted has absolutely nothing to do with whether the vaccines are safe. Whether you're a Republican, a Democrat., whether you believe in science or fairies, whether you support Joe Biden or Donald Trump, whether you're on a keto diet or drink 10 cans of Pepsi a day has nothing to do with whether the vaccines are safe. That has to do with an evaluation of the evidence, not personal behavior or beliefs.

educate yourself:

It has never been approved for us in the US. That's just a fact. Its use was suspended in the EU because of the blood clot problem. It has since also been taken off the market in the UK. The mRNA vaccines have proven both more effective and safer, according to health experts.

Two points: all of the adverse events are extremely rare and most seem to be due to the Astra Zeneca vaccine, which was never offered in the US and is no longer offered in Europe (Are they still offering it here?)

An analysis of the study. Maybe not as convincing as the testimony of an embalmer, but, still, actual evidence. https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/the-largest-safety-study-of-covid-vaccines-finds-rare-issues/

2 million views on Tik Tok for her sob story. I wonder how much that earned her?

Like they're going to send in the Marines if you're kidnapped. You won't even make the news. The embassy won't even give you a free ride home if you need it despite all the money you've paid in income tax.

It's a bunch of bull obviously. It's just an ad for her tik tok account.

What was the point of this article exactly?

The first term didn't impact me, no reason his second term should either. I detest him but I detested Reagan as well, who launched the US on the road to ruin. Their popularity is literally unfathomable to me. On the other hand, looks like I won't be able to go back to the US any time soon. If we're going to suffer through another Trump term, I wish he'd do something productive for expats like get rid of FACTA and suspend income tax for Americans who don't live in the US. Fat chance of that happening.

Arguably the best non-fiction book is one that can't be named.

I thought the whole purpose was corruption

I still get promotions for them, so I assume they're still offered. They only run for six months and then you have to renew them. I haven't had a problem so far.

Ais has bought 3bb. They're the same company now (or will be). Ais offers unlimited low speed Internet, 60 baht for 1mps, 90 baht for 2mps a month

Fibre optic is equally reliable with True and it's 640 for 500 MB up and down, less, I imagine, with a promotion and their customer service has been great. 20 GB on the sim isn't much and the SuperWi is, I assume, the AIS hotspots. I get offered that promotion once a month if I upgrade my service. Playbox I have no interest in. It doesn't inspire me to make the change to AIS.

I paid an agent to do it. It cost me 1000 baht. A taxi to Chaeng Wattana and back would have cost me at least 600 as well as hours of wasted time. So I considered it well worth it.

Now they are but that's because of FACTA. The US government made reporting requirements for US citizen accounts so onerous that many foreign banks won't open one for you anymore. None of that existed until after 9/11. When I was living in Japan in the 1990's, the Japanese and US tax systems weren't even linked. There was no way the US could check how much money you were making in Japan. However, if you want to open a numbered account (no name) in Panama, no problem.

The US Embassy no longer issues these letters.
