A high ranking official not stealing public funds would be news.

Is he talking about Ladyboys?

I lived and worked in India for 5 years, and what I learned was: Delhi is known as 'The rape capital of the world' Women cannot walk alone safely after dark Trains have to have 'Women Only' carriages to avoid harassment by male commuters The term for Sexual Harassment is 'Eve Teasing' Senior judges publicly blame women for being raped because they wore provacative clothing And India is a key countries for Thai tourism. I don't blame the victim, but I do blame the Thai Tourist Authority. And I bet the guy was totally shocked when a woman made a formal complaint about his behaviour. At least the news coverage about the fine may help to drag Indian males a bit nearer to the 21st Century.

Does that maxim apply to animal cruelty? I hope you'd stop when you are wise enough to understand that elephants are not playground rides.

After having to book a one way flight at 95% of the cost of a return, after the booking agent cancelled my return flight, I only ever book direct with airlines. Only exception is Air Asia - I do not book with them at all since they refused to refund COVID cancellations to myself and many other people. But with proper airlines, they normally sort out an alternative flight

After drying it out and spraying some WD40 on the connectors the electrics may recover. But I'd drain the oil and replace to be sure there's no water in the crank case. But any work on a Wave is normally very cheap - so probably better to let the local Honda dealer check it out.

I informed my bank that I was zero rated for tax as I'm working overseas - so they stopped the tax deductions on interest payments. I still maintain a UK address (of a relative) but they use my Thai mobile for the banking scurity codes. So maybe the OP just needs a UK address, but can tell his bank he's working in Thailand and no longer tax resident?

Yes ...... just fitted out a condo with Index furniture, and I feel it's stronger than the stuff I bought from Ikea in my home country. I understand Ikea has a testing process for new products - but I suspect their aim is to make products just good enough at minimum cost.

On a hot young woman, they can look good, but as she ages they must look much less appealing.

The freeing of prisoners seems to indicate that the decriminalisation was 'back dated' - so I think you have a good chance of removing the blacklisting. I used Mazars for my initial visa and work permit, and was impressed by their legal team - could be worth a try.

I noticed a cannabis cafe on walking street in Pattaya - right next to where the police and police volunteers camp out. I'm not sure - but do these cafés only sell the weak products ..... a bit like alcohol free beer?

I rented a 4X4 pick up from Budget, it had diff locks, so reasonably off road capable, although as others mentioned, it had road biased tyres.
