Can of lighter fluid and a match, all that's needed.

Just like in WWII, they rolled over and did what their Japanese masters told them to do, neutral my arse.

Hopefully the ICC puts out an arrest warrant for her father, also putting a damper on The Dapper Don.

Plus most Thais don't believe in travelling safely or legally.

Keep up the good work boys!

I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened to us already, many close calls, but knock on wood, we haven't had anyone succeed in using us to commit suicide, yet. If it were up to me I would leave Thailand right now and never return, sadly it isn't up to me, that's marriage for ya 😉

I'm awaiting a future ICC ruling, and hopefully we'll see him soon sitting next to Duterte in a Hague prison cell.

The many Buddhist temples in Thailand and their large coffers have that covered, even the Catholic church would be jealous.

Before or after the sanctions went in place?

I wouldn't quite call it "overwhelming lethal force" just yet, that would be more along the lines of what happened in Gaza. But please Mr. President, make it so.

Yes, bleached skin and plastic surgery extended noses are more prized here.

All they need is a few/several hundred billion US dollars more and they can turn this War around, have a heart!

Good riddance! Thank you Mr. President, Job well done!

So we should shutdown all roads and highways around the world unless they have street lights? LOL I have a better idea, make sure the vehicle you decide to take out on the road has working lights on it, and you drive according to conditions. I know this might be a new concept, and it may get in the way of those who need to break the sound barrier on their way to their destinations in the black of night, but the life you save might be your own.

Yup, let Darwin fix the issue.

Those news articles (or videos) where some of them had their brain matter squeezed out of their skulls on to the pavement after being run over by a 10 wheeled truck might be having some effect. There were a few where the helmet saved them after having their head run over, not all, but it sure leaves a lasting impression.

At first I thought they were warning me about the seatbelt extender I use for my child's car seat, but after reading this, I'm blown away by the level of stupidity the people in Thailand will go through to make things unsafe.

Yup, you really can't fix stupid.

There is no Expat tax policy, there is a Tax on remittance which is applied to everyone here for more than 180 days, Thai or Expat. The sooner everyone understands they are not a special class, then they can move forward.

Delusional paranoia, please provide facts for your fictions, if you can.

Well, it could fall down, that seems to happen alot around here.

"In Thailand, the Royal Gazette (official publication) announced that foreign income earned after January 1, 2024, and remitted into Thailand, will be taxed under Section 41 of the Revenue Code, while income earned before that date is exempt from tax"

I've tried a lot of different things online, some are helpful (some not), I also started doing 15 reps (less weight) instead my normal 8-10, and doing more sets. This seems to work better too, but the impingement is always there, like you said, sometimes less painful, sometimes more so, but ever present. I am just really scared of another tear, it put me out commission and depression was setting in over the long road to recovery. I guess I just don't like getting older 😉

You're comparing government oppression to cartels and gang members, that's like saying people living in gang infested cities in the USA should illegally immigrate to Europe and ask for refugee status. Your post is utter nonsense.

It's becoming more of an issue now in my mid 50's, anyone else dealt with this in their 50's+, any workarounds other than lots of rest? I can't keep skipping workouts, but spent most of 2023 and part of 2024 healing from a partial rotator cuff tear, things have been going quite well now though, but I can still feel the shoulder impingement. I keep working out with the slight soreness, but afraid of another tear that could shut me down again. Been using dumbbells for benching and shoulders to strengthen the smaller muscle groups, its working, just really scared of another tear.
