Can I go out to sea ? Fishing
... and yet That's a sailfish, not a marlin. Even a small marlin is many times that size.

Trump polls now under water
These polls are all meaningless. Half the respondents just like giving false answers to mess with the pollsters.

Advise on declaring income tax on rental properties abroad?
You've gotten a lot of really bad advice here. You will need to review your country's tax treaty with Thailand to determine if that rental income is taxable in Thailand, your home country, or both. The tax treaty likely specifically addresses income from rental property in your home country, and will state which country can tax it. It's possible that the income is not taxable in Thailand. There is no way to know without reading the tax treaty. In my case, I have a business in my home country, and my country's tax treaty states that business income is only taxable in my home country even though I live in Thailand. I remember reading about income from rental property in the tax treaty, but can't remember how it was treated.

The waitress said I had 4 beers, when I only had 3...
He was a regular customer there. He said he frequented the same place for years, so she obviously wasn't doing it all the time.

Is anyone concerned about DOGE targeting US Soc Sec direct deposit into Thai accounts?
As I said, you may not believe him. You Trump apologists will always make some excuse even when confronted with concrete evidence.

US Economy Races Ahead While UK Struggles to Keep Pace
You'll note that your own graph says that they didn't even bother counting the homeless during the covid pandemic.

Trump has openly said he has the right to suspend the constitution. You may not believe he will or think he's joking, but I take it as a serious threat that he will.

These encampments started during Trumps first term. During the first year of covid, they were suddenly everywhere.

Bangkok markets and MAGA caps
You could say the same thing about any country. No countries existed a few thousand years ago. Humans made them all up.

Bangkok markets and MAGA caps
Good to know that's available. I would like to buy some toilet paper with images of Trump on it. I will have to search Lazada. When I was in Ukraine before the war, I saw toilet paper with Putin on it in the local markets. I didn't realize at the time why the Ukrainians hated Putin so much, but now I understand.

Can I go out to sea ? Fishing
Theres not really any fishing worth doing near Pattaya. The gulf of Thailand is seriously over fished, the water near the coast is way too shallow and too murky for Marlin. Most of the sharks have already been eaten as shark fin soup.....

Is Trump a Russian Asset, Controlled by Putin
Possibly, but I would bet Trump tries to completely end elections. We will see if any republicans senators grow a spine and try to stop him.

Drinking less beer helped me with the same problem.

You are assuming there will be an election. I doubt there will be.

Wither US Social Security payments?
No salary You think that Elon Musk, the man who has received more money from the US federal government than any other human, is doing this completely for free, out of the goodness of his heart?

Hua Hin is close to Bangkok they say
I would agree. I find it usually takes 3 hours or less to Bangkok. I think those who are complaining it's so far are choosing to travel during peak times. If you just avoid the obvious weekend or rush hour traffic, there is usually not much of a delay due to traffic.

Booking flight on thaiairways.com w/ wrong passport number – ok?
I would just use a third party website to book this. Many don't require you to enter a passport. Trip.com, Expedia, Priceline. There are many others.

Cebu and Davao
Cebu and Davao are crowded, ugly, dirty and boring also--Just slightly less so than Manila. The only reason to go to any city in the Philippines is for the women. You will find Manila much better for meeting women than either of those two. Cebu would be the worst for that because there are quite a lot of foreigners there, so you will have a lot more competition, and the girls are a bit wiser. If you want to see the beauty of the Philippines you will need to get out of the cities.

Is it really worth arguing over 100 baht? Learn the meaning of mai pen rai and enjoy life.

I like it dull and peaceful.

The are buses from BKK to Hua Hin, but I personally just prefer a private car.
-

But unfortunately most of the trains have no AC, and are they slower than driving. Also doesn't make sense if you arrive and want to go straight from the airport to Hua Hin--the train would at least double your total travel time vs a direct car transfer.

And my bet would be less than the salary Elon and his team will get.
