  1. Indeed, I am reading Ken Follet's "The Armour of Light" and was thinking that England of 1792 was totally reminiscent of today's Thailand.
  2. Include OSX. VLC is an amazing open source piece of software, but I became unfaithful to it once I found PLEX. I know the latter isn't for everyone, but once you have a family with about 15 devices that can access it around the house the media server becomes a must.
  3. Where did you buy these TV series? Getting sick of watching Thai content all day long, without understanding a single word. Anyhow it is essentially gasps and moans.
  4. You can call them "elites" if you want, AFAIAC if would be something like "retard maggots".
  5. Watching that, I feel like saying that the police report wasn't the expected BS. But more importantly, any news of the victim yet? Also it looks like his head hit the ground twice: first when he fell and second when the "rescuers" let him drop on the tarmac.
  6. Yeah the Fat party blaming the future Democrat VP to be slightly overweight.
  7. Everyone laughs at EU when it comes to diplomacy and influence. "Vive le Québec libre"
  8. At that age they get desperate.
  9. Best Airline advertisement I have ever seen. Free sauna in economy. RIP Thai International. I used to enjoy flying with you, 40 years ago. Your flight attendants were the perfect lead up to Patpong.
  10. The message is clear: don't come to Thailand, if here evaluate the feasibility of leaving.
  11. A friend told me the French are planning refugee camps near Calais.
  12. Ok, see you in ten years. But you might be lucky. I base my caution on what EV manufacturers offer in terms of warranty, etc.. And most car batteries will be submitted to less deep depletions than domestic off line storage. Also do we know anyone who used these super duper lifepo4 batteries for more than 5 years? Do we know which supplier is reliable?
  13. Have you tried to calculate the cost of production and storage per KWh and compared the result to the PEA Unit price? For instance if the battery has a life expectancy of 10 years and costs 300000 Baht the storage would cost 300000/ (20KHh x 3652.5 deep cycles). That's about 4.1 Baht for storage only. AFAIC this leads me to an on grid setup just large enough to keep the house nicely cool at day time .
  14. It is in effect since January 1, 2024. Any income earned from this date, must be declared if remitted to Thailand, whether remitted in the year of earning or not. The part in bold being the only change.
  15. That's nonsense, first it all depends on DTAs, which differ from country to country. And many people have income that, pensions in most cases, that hasn't been taxed but will be by TRD. Therefore many good customers of the hospitality industry will just leave the country obviously.
  16. So you've never heard about Income tax? There have been about 20000 post about the TRD foreign money grab. Which can cost anyone on an average income from 500k to 800k.
  17. I do most of my heavy breathing with my wife, when I am away more then 48 hours I hire an assistant from the Plaza.
