If by that you mean make the drivers polite, not have body odour, never refuse a reasonable fare, don't take a long diversion to bump up the cost, keep the cabs clean and not stink of cigarette smoke, and don't drive drunk, then I'm all for it. Until then, I'm sticking with Grab.

It 100% is worth it - provided you live long enough to take four years of pension. The payback period is just over three years - one of the best investments you can make.

I'm 100% sure this has been asked before. Try searching.

Go to your local fresh market at 4 a.m. and they should have pork intestines. You'll then need to spend a few hours washing them out (unless you like your sausages to be redolent of the farm).

It does take hours if you don't live near there and include the time to get there and back.

Two experts, two different opinions. I'm confused. Does anyone, please, have any actual experience of making the first report after reentering Thailand by mail to Chaengwattana?

I presume that Immigration still hasn't fixed their computer systems, so the first 90 day report after reentering the Kingdom can't be done online. Does anyone have recent experience of making such a report by post to Chaengwattana? And if so, was it successful or unsuccessful? (I really don't want to have to waste several hours making the report in person.) Thanks.

What, not even GI Joe? He has "eagle eyes" to show his US patriotism the eagle having been the national bird of the United States since 1782. I suspect GI Joe is more of an American hero than the Donald Trump bobble head doll. And Trump's doll is so inaccurate it doesn't actually have his bone spurs.

Blame Canada? Surprised nobody's linked to this yet:

The reason that fentanyl is coming across any border is because there is a demand for it. I don't know the reason, but America seems to have a disproportionately large number of drug addicts. That's neither the fault of Canada nor Mexico. Clearly something is seriously wrong with the way that the USA deals with its drug problem. However, it's easier to blame Canada than to sort things out.

Apparently, according to the Bangkok Post, there's a change coming. The article's a bit unclear, but I think it means that all overseas income transferred to Thailand must be declared in one's tax return. However, if it's transferred in the same year it's obtained or the following year, it will not be taxed. The article repeatedly refers to "Thais", but it almost certainly includes all tax residents. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3028760/department-to-amend-tax-on-foreign-income-remittance

It's not only "not the precise variety", it's a totally different species. As for "whatever shall I do", I'd suggest stop posting clueless posts that suggest phak kom is spinach. It's not.

And yet again, this is NOT spinach. The label clearly says (in Thai) Phak kom. 👎👎👎

Still no real clarity. Government web page titled "Delay (defer) your State Pension" gives an example and states: "This example assumes there is no annual increase in the State Pension. If there is an annual increase, the amount you could get could be larger." The use of the word "could" makes this information useless. https://www.gov.uk/deferring-state-pension/what-you-get
