4 am closing is an admission that the country's economy relies for a large part on prostitution. Next step might be a special BB (Boom Boom) visa.

Try Dr Macbook. U can get a massage nearby while they evaluate the damage.

I must have owned about 25 Apple devices and haven't spent anything beyond Apple care or battery replacements on older laptops. Apple products are elegant, pleasant to work with, reliable and extremely well supported by the Apple network.

Nope, but I am kind of proud of the life I've led.

Just worry about what is going to happen once they reach retirement age. I have know many boomers saying: I'll pay off my house and save a bit so the state pension will be enough. 30 years later, after a divorce they were left with their meager pension and went to Thighland. Zeers won't have that choice.

Well they are so much better than mine and show a high level of skills. But relax, some people post tongue in cheek.

He's going to save a lot on Thai IncomeTax. Lol, no more TIT(s).

Agree totally, I have/had one foot in the market for Solar, but after a visit by PEA, who offered an "on grid" solution I decided to stay sitting on the fence for the time being. PEA offered 2.4 Baht per KWh produced, which amounted to some ridiculous payback duration, while my requirements where cost savings + backup power ("on grid hybrid" based on @Crossy's excellent paper). So it's gonna be another few years, hopefully before I die. Since I like simple measures to make decisions I'll look for Solar again once an 80 KWk/day "Off grid" system will have a pay back of about 5 years. (This is a rough measure based on the cost of Panels/Batteries and PEA's pricing). Then I may refine it by putting an EV into the equation, or not. A 5 years payback is only a ballpark figure, as I have no idea about the maintenance costs, repairs, replacements, and cleaning). In the meantime, I might just buy a genset.

Yes it would only work if they restricted access to non residents. Otherwise Thais would lose their incomes which would profit only to Swiss bank accounts. Hence depressing the Thai economy even further. Funny, it seems that in Thailand no one has ever heard of the "seven whys". Maybe they spell it differently.

Income tax heavens Domino effect, Malaysia fell on January 1 this year, Thailand will on January 1, 2024. And Portugal fell a few years back.

One other thing ought ought to know is that if you stay in Thailand less than 180 days a year you can remit to Thailand as much as you want. So in case you want to bring cash from Thailand to Malaysia. But you need, a reliable money changer in Thailand, as you wouldn't want to change THB to RM in Malaysia. As regards the LTR tax incentive, I'll take it as long as it lasts, but I don't want to get caught with my pants down, so I'll take mitigation measures right now to keep my income tax in the 10-15% range, if the worst was to happen. Guess it will, even though we don't know when.

Compare product by product: I am a real fan of Macbook air, Ipad and Iphone, Macbook pro is good, Apple watch, Apple Tv ?.. Dunno why I bought those?...

Ridiculous post. Just compare to Dell XPS.

Yes the situation here is eerily similar to that in Malaysia a year ago. Same from Same from PWC

Malaysia is quite different, as @Flyguy330wrote: "I filed the thought away and enjoyed a couple of visits to Thailand this summer (BKK and Phuket). Had a great time - though I will say I found Thailand more expensive than Malaysia, less clean and organised, and the poverty of many of the people is much more striking on the streets. There's an air of desperation which I didn't like, and don't see in Malaysia.". I just came back from another holiday in Penang and the differences with Thailand are glaring, I'd be ok paying 15% remittance tax in Malaysia, will it would really hurt if I ended up paying income tax here. In Malaysia I'd get value for money.

Neither, everything I have comes from the education my parents gave me and my own efforts. I am not complaining.

FYI. So far the Royal decree 743 still stands.

Wrong, they never fix them, they recycle them into new potholes. This is one of their perpetual income generators.

Hmmmhh... Do you have a work permit for your activity on Aseannow?

I look good.

errr ?.. Are you a masturbator?

Good, same here. But she isn't asking. A while ago we have agreed we'd have one on March 19, 2029, our 20th "first booboom anniversary", if I am still alive. But just throw a party, with civilised music, and no Sin sot, etc. B.S.

Indeed, I entered yesterday with an LTR visa, they stamped me in until the expiry date of my passport. This implies that I can move in and out of country until my passport expires.

So what is this thread about. I doubt that there is a single person on the forum that can understand the conclusion of the abstract: "Conclusion Our results imply a major role for both IL-4/IL-13 as well as TNF in IgG4 classswitching. These novel findings advance our understanding of IgG4 class switch dynamics, and may benefit future mRNA vaccine strategies, humoral tolerance induction, as well as treatment of IgG4 pathologies." If the study says that the mRNA vaccines reprogram the immune system, i'd ask: "isn't that the expected result of any vaccine". But I only have a masters in Business/IT. And honestly, none of these studies should be published on the web without a "Layman's summary", otherwise they should be restricted to professional networks.

As the great leader of the uneducated fat pink whiteys suggested
