Thinking in terms of occupation or colonization tends to be from the more modern times of nation states. If you're thinking about Ayutthaya and shifting borders in much of Southeast Asia, it wasn't what we know as the countries Thailand, Burma, Laos or Cambodia. The existing modern states might refer back to them in that way but that's just to create some kind of nationalist pride and history. It was a much more fluid context of smaller kingdoms and city states in alliance, paying tribute etc. and not really relevant to the modern states.

I put in my Thai social insurance number when I registered a few years. Pretty sure I didn't have to upload a photo of any ID though so maybe it's something new. I can still log into my account. It's handy if you have more than one vehicle as you can add them all under the one account. Update: There is a notice about digital ID on the website. The account is still accessible so I'll have to see what happens at renewal time.

Even the dingiest little testing places are online. They do the check and put it straight into the system. You can just go home and pay the tax online. If you haven't paid the compulsory insurance, you will also be given the chance to do that before you can pay the tax. The disc gets sent by registered mail.

And who knows whose hands the deeds will end up in after they've been signed over to the state. There are already enough stories about dodgy dealings with land title. It will surely become a prime method for land grab.

In that case, I don't think you should be paying contributions. Here's a couple of links you could show your employer: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=431306532508849 https://www.pptvhd36.com/news/สังคม/183854

I believe that as you're still working, you still receive the same entitlements whatever your age. Once you've reached the age of 60, you can continue working but are also entitled to give 30 days' notice of retirement at any point beyond that. You would then be entitled to receive the stipulated severance according to the number of years you've worked for the company.

Why aren't you eligible for benefits? You should be covered by health care and registered at a specific hospital. Depending on how long you've been working for the company and paying social insurance in Thailand, you'll also be entitled to something when you retire.

That Google course puts great emphasis on the limitations and what teachers have to be aware of when using it. And how they can then get the best results from it.

This is a decent little course from Google that can show current possibilities for educators who aren't really familiar with using any form of Generative AI. https://grow.google/ai-for-educators/

I don't know if this will be coming to Thailand but in Laos the Dark has been toned down to 5% alcohol. And the taste has changed much for the worse.

It's not Non Immigrant of course. If you go word by word, it says "type tourist, type special".

No, it's an accurate translation. The Royal Gazette refers to it as ตราประเภทนักท่องเที่ยว ประเภทพิเศษ

It was announced as a type of tourist visa, much like the Elite. No way to get employment in Thailand when you're on it.

You don't enter your address because that is already a given. The TM30 is set up for a specific address not an individual. Just fill in the details on the screen and save. As you point out, you should print or screenshot the record as you can only search back 7 days to bring it up again.

Thanks. I wasn't familiar with them before. But reading their site seems to confirm what I said - TEFL is the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language. It's not proprietary to that organization. They offer a variety of TEFL qualifications, some of which include TEFL in the title, just as other providers of TEFL courses and qualifications do. Are you saying that a CELTA is not a TEFL qualification?

TEFL isn't a qualification is it? CELTA is a TEFL qualification. There are others.

Probably early 1990s if Ko was the drummer. I think he joined '90 or '91. The original drummer from the 'classic' 1980s lineup was Pao. Though Ko was the band's longest serving drummer. And it's not that Ko (โก้ ) that's died - it's another Ko (โก๋) (slight difference in the Thai spelling). The Ko that died is more known by the nickname โก๋ ร้อยวง - Ko of 100 Bands - because he played with so many bands. I think Carabao called him โก๋ คาราบาว out of respect and appreciation for his recent time with the band. But the โก้ / โก๋ similarity also seems to have confused a lot of Thai fans.

50 years old. Don't see any reports saying what was wrong with him, other than he'd been ill for a while. (Update: liver cancer according to one report).

Aed Carabao hasn't died

Chavalit Chalormpong was a relatively new addition to Carabao. But he's well-known and previously been drummer for other bands and singers including Tai Orathai before joining Carabao.

Some things in Thailand work really well like passport applications and renewals for Thai citizens or the online system for vehicle tax. The Social Security online system is also very good, though foreigners can't use the app as yet and can only use the web-based version. And I think this is partly where problems arise. At present the things that seem to work best are just available in Thai language and set up for Thai citizens. If you're Thai, things have improved immeasurably from a few years ago where you'd spend a whole day in some government office doing something quite simple. Unfortunately, it's not yet reached a lot of the things that would make life easier for foreigners here.

Probably desperate to stay and is on an extension based on marriage.

Part of the Khao Ang Rue Nai wildlife area is in Chonburi, also Chachoengsao, Rayong, Chantaburi and Sa Kaeo.

The delivery driver can't physically put their parcel into the PO Box. They need to get someone to sign for the delivery. The Post Office doesn't have anyone there to accept deliveries for the box. Postal deliveries come through the postal service and are sorted into the PO boxes in the same way as regular mail is sorted out to addresses. I'm pretty sure that the PO Box service doesn't include staff to physically receive and sign for your packages and then stick them in your box.

If you just make sure the second landlord doesn't file a TM30, shouldn't you be fine?
