I have used Dairy rich for years, but found that at the end of the package, the powder would not easily dissolve anymore. So a few months ago i switched to Richie and that solved the issue

They are the same stamps as you have, are they not? No they are not. I have a friend who has a good friend working at immigration (not a desk officer) Another friend had an issue with an extension, and had his previous extension done by an agent. They went to see the IO, he simply glanced at the stamp in my friend's passport, and immediately knew which agent had done the extension

I'm sure they didn't ask any business owner for their opinion to compile the poll. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-business-optimism-slumps-clear-033000132.html US Business Optimism Slumps in ‘Clear Pivot’ From Trump Election Less than a third, or 27%, of executives polled in May by the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants said they were confident about the economic outlook for the 12 months ahead, down from 47% of respondents in the first quarter and 67% in a survey conducted in the fourth quarter, just after the US vote. “We’re seeing a lot of revised expectations: delayed hiring and investment, pared-back expansion plans, lowered key performance indicators,” said Tom Hood, executive vice president at the AICPA. “The data shows a clear pivot from optimism to caution. Businesses are bracing for volatility, and the uncertainty around tariffs is amplifying that shift.” The AICPA found that one in five business executives believe the US is already in a recession, while another 34% say they expect one by the end of the year. Of those expecting a recession this year or next, 75% predict it will be moderate to severe.

Until recently I had multiple accounts in 6 different banks. Then I started to realize that the 1.5 - 2% (minus withholding taxes) that I received as interest was just tea money. So beginning this year I started closing accounts as soon as they matured, and put the money in gold bars, as I was confident that I could beat that, and no risk of the bank going tits up, and me losing my deposits. So far I'm more than 15 years ahead with the interests. More accounts will be closed during the rest of the year, as I will only keep my immigration money and some necessary funds in the banks.

So they remove the exemption, but at the same time are unable to activate it, so the only way to access your accounts will be visiting the branch. Did I understand that correct?

How about not visiting this forum again Bob. Now that is an idea

You really needed to ask, as it has all the signs of it. Or do you know anyone else who always disables messaging and signs with his (fake) first name?

Maybe you thought it was Thai?

Nobody is attacking you, you're simply thinking you get attacked, because others are posting facts which you don't like to hear. Your hero in the US, the biggest loser I have ever encountered, is lying through his teeth, and you know it but don't want to admit. Here are some more facts, which you don't like, to digest. Not tired of winning yet? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-private-payrolls-growth-slows-122520026.html US private payrolls growth slows sharply in May Private payrolls increased by only 37,000 jobs last month after a downwardly revised 60,000 rise in April. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast private employment increasing 110,000 following a previously reported gain of 62,000 in April. The labor market continues to ease amid economic uncertainty from tariffs. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-borrowers-face-higher-interest-122359922.html US Borrowers Face Higher Interest If Trump’s ‘Revenge Tax’ Becomes Law The so-called Section 899 provision takes aim at nations such as Canada, the UK and France that have digital services taxes or other corporate tax rules the US deems unfair. Investors and companies from those countries may see gradually higher tax rates on income they earn from US assets — which some analysts have called a “revenge tax.” But Section 899 would affect loan interest payments in a way that would hurt some US companies, according to legal experts. Many lending agreements require borrowers to cover such tax hikes if they’re enacted after the deal is signed. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-weighs-ordering-hundreds-airbus-070402356.html China Weighs Ordering Hundreds of Airbus Jets in Major Deal China is considering placing an order for hundreds of Airbus SE aircraft as soon as next month, when European leaders visit Beijing to celebrate the countries’ long-term ties, according to people familiar with the matter. A deal could involve about 300 planes and include both narrowbody and widebody models, they said, with one person saying the order could range between 200 and as many as 500 aircraft. For its US rival Boeing Co., doing business in China has become more difficult as the company gets caught up in President Donald Trump’s trade war with Beijing.

It has loser written all over again. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live/trump-tariffs-live-updates-trump-says-chinas-xi-is-extremely-hard-to-make-a-deal-with-191201563.html Trump tariffs live updates: Trump says China's Xi is 'extremely hard to make a deal with' President Donald Trump has said it's "extremely hard" to reach a deal with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, denting hopes for a call between the two leaders as trade talks stall. "I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!" Trump posted on Truth Social in the early hours of Wednesday. China responded to Trump's claim on Friday that it has "totally violated its agreement" with the US, in turn accusing the US of breaching the agreement and vowing to protect its interests. The US-China detente — reached earlier this month, when each country eased sky-high tariffs on the other — has been looking more fragile amid both trade-related and other tensions.

Wow, it even gets better. A tax specialist who requested anonymity said in cases where a taxpayer has income from a foreign source and that income has already been taxed in the source country, if the source country has a DTA with Thailand when that income is brought into Thailand, it may be eligible for a tax credit for the tax paid to the source country. However, the calculation of the tax credit can be complex, and each country that has a DTA with Thailand may have certain specific provisions that differ, resulting in variations in the tax computation details. According to the source, when claiming a tax credit under a DTA, the tax credit must not exceed the tax liability payable in Thailand. The highest personal income tax rate in Thailand is 35%. Therefore, if the income tax paid abroad was at a rate of 40%, the Thai tax credit cannot exceed the domestic tax liability, which is capped at 35%. So if I have a pension in my home country, on which I obviously get taxed there, and I remit the income to Thailand, I get that tax refunded. Are that pigs I see flying through the sky?

I'm pretty sure it will have shown signs of the water leak for months already, similar to this one.

Gimme a break 😂

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-tariff-promises-have-a-familiar-refrain-deals-in-the-not-too-distant-future-160223034.html Trump tariff promises have a familiar refrain: Deals in the 'not-too-distant future' Another week in Washington has seen more promises from the Trump administration of imminent trade deals, with a fresh suggestion Monday of a possible pact with India "in the not-too-distant future." But the sheer volume of these claims — even as progress is evident in some cases — has dampened the reaction from markets and trade watchers after months of similar promises from both President Trump and his team have turned out to be premature at the very least. It was nearly seven weeks ago when Trump commented on the talks ahead, suggesting that "over the next three or four weeks I think maybe the whole thing could be concluded."

This is not about the average foreigner who has a house in company name, but rather businesses restricted to Thais but run by foreigners. The clue should be in the figure of, 26000 suspected companies. That figure dwarfs the number of houses owned by foreigners through the company route in Pattaya alone

Not sure which point you try to make, because Americans can't own a business which owns property under the amity.

You mean the 24 hours races of Lemans or Francorchamps are not real because they make pitstops? You see, other can be as pedant as you

Understandable, the law is only in force for a mere 30 years

As I notice you prefer line shopping. Can you confirm the one sold there is genuine?

The real reason why Musk left DOGE It is because he got used by Trump. Elon thought that by spending a lot of money on the campaign, he would have a say in the policies. He realized too late that Trump is an egoist, and that his mindset doesn't match with his, because Trump has no idea what he is actually doing. The only thing Trump cares about is reversing everything Biden voted into law, regardless if good or bad, because he has no idea what he does. Elon has voiced opposition to some of Trump's policies a few times, so it was better to leave. He has also made clear that he will reduce his contributions to political campaigns, which everyone, other than MAGA, understands that he dumped Trump because of disagreements. And since we know that Elon is the richest man in the world, it wouldn't surprise me if he uses his money to take Trump down.

You don't need to go to Russia, Trump is turning the US in a second Russia

Another big beautiful lie from the Trump administration. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/president-trumps-trade-agenda-is-on-hold-as-he-waits-on-a-call-with-xi-jinping-124449742.html National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett even suggested Sunday on ABC that trade negotiations with other nations are being held up by the wait for this call between Trump and Xi. He explained why his previous predictions of deals have failed to materialize, saying it's because "the trade team has been focused 100% like a laser beam on the China matter." Once a call resolves the China issues, he added, "then we're going to take [other] deals into the Oval." Losers they are.

Just found this thread as I'm considering melatonin. At Fascino 14 tablets 2mg are 570 baht. So did a search on Lazada for Puritan Pride, and found a high rated seller. 120 tablets 5mg are 597, but 120 capsules 10mg are the exact same price. I would have expected that 10mg would cost more than 5mg for the same quantity, so what is the difference between tablets and capsules? Edit: I now see that 120 tablets 3mg are also the same price. Something fishy? The only difference is that the 5mg are coated tablets, while 3mg are tablets. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/puritans-pride-series-improve-sleep-problems-and-enhance-circadian-rhythm-exp0426-i5602139875-s23834999597.html? Anyone can advise what the difference is between capsules - tablets and coated tablets, and which I should order?
