Good move

Gunsmoke in the streets? LOL. What a total exaggeration.

I turned them off. Its in the settings. Periodically, I get a notification that my service provider has turned them on, so I turn them off again.

I was also surprised, in a good way, to at last see an article about the weather that didn't descend into alarmist climate zealotry.

ED-209 would have been a better choice.

They probably think that they're in Britain or America. Let's hope they get caught and corrected the Thai way.

She doesn't lead anything. She just takes orders from her dad.

Oh, they'll probably have a form for folks who didn't charge their batteries. Or you'll have to queue up for ages at shared computer terminals to do it.

Attempts at language control are a woke western construct that's dying out, and doesn't apply to Thailand anyway.

Lots of countries use similar systems. It's not a big deal. Just install an app and fill in your details. No need to ask the air hostess to borrow a pen anymore.

Woke is an adjective like any other, and controlling the way others speak epitomises the liberal left and its intolerance of criticism. You woke folk always like to position your ghastly world view as progress, while calling those who point to its obvious and proven failings as 'behind'. Where is this 'progressive' utopia? In the 'progressive' West, we see nothing but decline, societal decay and degeneracy. 'Progress' for its own sake has destroyed the countries we came from, which is probably why we came to Thailand, if we're honest with ourselves.

This post assumes that woke liberal justice works. One look at the western world proves that it doesn't.

Thailand will end up like the ghastly western world, where undisciplined children grow up into undisciplined adults.

There's no need to behave like a wally mate. All I was saying is that Thailand has adopted the CRS/AEOI, following the western world. Of course, it might take a while to catch up to western world banks, where accounts are routinely closed if tax residency information isn't provided. The fact remains that your accounts are at risk of closure if you ignore requests for this kind of information - given how difficult it is to open accounts, closure is something that most people would want to avoid, particularly those who don't mind paying their taxes.

Another "Thailand won't survive without us expats" post.
