Danish man stabs himself with medical knife in Bangkok hospital
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Danish man stabs himself with medical knife? A surgical blade is meant to save life, not to take it. But at least, he didn't harm anyone else. He is only liable for the cost of own subsequent treatment and clean-up of the mess he made... -
Bangkok Bank + insurance (package deal)
black tabby12345 replied to lostintransit's topic in Insurance in Thailand
so in case where their discretion in not looking too closely at certain documents or can waive certain requirements that prevent tourist from just walking in and opening accounts, so getting insurance from the do sweeten the deal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I see. Not a Standard Procedure (at all). But the Sales Promotion at individual level under some form of pressure from the above. When I opened my first Thai bank account earlier in the 21st century, my initial legal status here, was the 30-day visa waiver. But I could still open a saving account without much hassles. Looks like No Clear Set Standard regarding the eligibility to access bank account here(other than overstayers/illegal entrants are NO-NO; bank tellers always check each foreigner's visa status/validity at the beginning of transaction). Thank you for your post. -
6 hours ago, JimMfromUSA said: Can you imagine eating the fish from a Thai canal, let alone intentionally swimming in one? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I live in Chiang Mai. There is an old moat surrounding its old city. During the hottest season of the year(March-April), I often see bunch of children around 8-10 Y.O. play and swim there; in the murky brown unclear water that hardly looks clean(some life sewerage pours into it). I wonder if the photo below shocks you?

Green Ambitions? Perfect example of the Easy to Say, Hard(nearly impossible) to Practice. Pursuing relentless economic growth. Constantly driving everyone to consume/own more. Cheap fast fashion garments made for the 1st World alone, comes up to 100 Billion/year. And 92 millions tones of textiles waste is put out in the world each year... Land of the dumped clothings All at the environmental and human costs of the 3rd World countries like Bangladesh. Often involving child labor under the horrific conditions as well. Lays under the bridge is river full of all sorts of wastes

Monk Leads Elephants “Khun Saen” & “Saen Thap” to Deliver Supplies to Flood Victims How nice. Monk is the spiritual leader of Buddhists Thais. And the religious figure makes a good use of ancient transport in the modern day community for the worldly salvation to those in a critical moment. The perfect Man & Animal collaboration for good deed. Wish all the involved return safely.

Putin's Nuclear Threats: Rhetoric or Reality?
black tabby12345 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
NATO would not even need to resort to the nuke in the first place. As they are capable of annihilating Russian force in Ukraine by their far superior airpower with conventional ordinances alone. I never insist this groundlessly: NATO Russia military comparison 2024 | Statista Unlike Russia, NATO troops and their armament can be deployed with a Moment Notice as they are a lot better maintained all the time. -
Putin's Nuclear Threats: Rhetoric or Reality?
black tabby12345 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Putin's Nuclear Threats: Rhetoric or Reality? 1000% Bull*hit; bluff. As Poo-tin well knows its Consequences. One nuke bang in any part of Ukraine. And it will be the Beginning of The End to himself... Whatever that dictator is mad blockhead, still can predict What Will Happen after that. Looks pretty similar to the case of N/Korea. Often firing missiles into Japan Sea as a meaning of extortion; begging food aid in provocative manner. But never hit the inhabited area of the neighboring country behind the sea. Japan: Under permanent US military occupation after the end of WW2(so many of their military installations from the north to the south). Attacking such an area, means Declaration of War on USA they can never beat... -
Crackdown: 22 Illegal Immigrants Arrested in Samut Prakan
black tabby12345 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Bangkok News
It is a kind of sad when the illegal aliens are subject to penalty while they are working hard and straight without committing common crimes. They often take up kind of jobs modern Thais don't want to do. -
Gas Leak in Taxi Near Thai-Lao Border, Averted Just in Time
black tabby12345 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Isaan News
Cost of NGV. When the fuel system is ill-fitted, it can end up as the time-bomb on wheels. Was the recent death of 23 on the school-chartered bus similar situation incident? -
No clear announcement about the expat tax things. Stop worrying. And start waiting for the things to come out in the way we can understand. At this moment, it is nothing more than tax chief's unofficial speech. And ignore all those stupid invitations from any accounting firms for Information Session; their only aim is to rip you off in return for the useless advice How can they show anything useful when they don't really know what will happen in the near future either. Personally, I am still very much in doubt If any real changes take place regarding retirees' income tax issue.

Thailand's Cashless Leap: Ahead of the Asean Pack by 2028
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
When people mostly use cash, they can at least know how much money in their wallet/pocket. But when they rely on cashless payment all the time, they often forget it. And the promotion of online settlement undoubtfully increases the risk of overspending among the people with lower financial literacy. Interesting news.
