Fortunately, no people-related troubles around me. But I have met countless attempted dog attacks since my settlement here in late 2005. I first carried around firecrackers and lighter to scare them away. Then I switched to homemade high-capacity tear gas spray(with the range of 7 yards). When they show clear sign of aggression(deep wrinkles on their nose and bare teeth), I shoot them with that. And they dash away instantly; it works 100% all the time. They cannot stand for the cocktail of vinegar, chili, and pepper: Dogs' 3 worst hates. Eventually, such dogs started to avoid me; I haven't used it since 2023. Even though I still carry it around with me when I go outside. It is also useful to help someone else out under dog attacks.

Previously, hand drawn map, now changed to google maps, but you must make sure the latitude / longitude is displayed... In Phuket, they want the GPS-indicated proof of your address for non-o Retirement extension? During previous military regime rule, they demanded the position coordinate of the expat for 90 day report(eventually dropped though) in Chiang Mai.

Brit expats in Thailand warned of scams targeting bank accounts
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Some scammers ring my number only to find out if that number really exists. That is one common method those crooks use. After confirming it is in service, then attempts to set a trap. But i use old-type phone(not smart phone). So absolutely no chance for them to snare me. A smart phone is one major access point of those cyber criminals. -

New Regulation Bans E-cigarettes, Hookahs for Students
black tabby12345 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Do the cops start to stop every E-smoking young man/woman in their late-teen to early 20s for the ID inspection? Do they ever check riders' age when a seemingly a junior-hi boys/girls are on motorcycles? With or Without Ban, business as usual here, Mai Pen Rai... -

600,000 Thai Students to Receive Learning Tablets by June
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Tablets give away. Another Core Policy of Pheu Thai, other than occasional small money handout. That scheme initially took place over a decade ago(as far as I remember). More online game addicts among Thai Youngs to come... -
Tax Deducted from Savings Account
black tabby12345 replied to ravip's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Not as far as I know of. When an expat earns any bank interest here, 15% non-resident withholding applied automatically. If you have TIN and make a tax declaration, may be different story. If you have no other income from Thailand and the gross interest amount is below their tax bracket, once applied tax can be refunded. That is something I heard before(never done myself though). Experts comment welcome.
