Variety Foods foodvariety.co
Not one single item of interest here, and wrong pricing universe (too expensive for the tiny sizes) anyway. Pass for me.

Good for the single item (the old Big C regular price), but nothing else for me in size and price comparison.

It paid more than even Hilton charges for their massively overpriced (but tasty) daily lunches for 2 persons. OMG. Laughing. 🤪
The monthly food bill would be 50,700 baht at this rate. Woo hoo! 🤣😂

Do you order a steak meal or just the salad ?
Depends on my company. I personally prefer the salad bar alone, but with gf we have ordered MANY large, expensive meals there. She is not keen on the salad bar like me. 🥗
Their menu has changed a lot over the years. I miss the 3 slider burgers. 🍔🍔🍔

Beware if your area supports the 159 discount. Some areas have 199b every day. I miss the wonderful 139b weekdays.

Every time I go there , there are groups of Thais all with their steak meals and minimal side salad and there's usually one older felang with six plates of salad in front of him
Actually, 3 plates of salad, one plate for cheese bread, one plate for watermelon and choco whips, and at least 4 bowls of soup. Of course, not all at once. 😆
Unbeatable buffet value.
Of course, never buy the water. 😁

Sure. That is what the told me last February, exept only 1 source of income was exempt, Gov Pension, my private pension should ( in theory anyway ) have been taxable.
At the small local office.
Well, that is what we all ( including me ) believed. Rocks up today ( Only Gov Pension ) and was told otherwise, at the big Office.
Here is her pencilled scribbles to help me fill it
You will notice that she has applied
100,000 Baht deduction for a Pension
60,000 Baht deduction for me
And some mental withholding tax thing, which by that stage I had lost all interest, so it could be anything.
Total tax payable 0
That makes no sense. 252k+, what created the 480x43.90? Did you somehow pay in 252k in withholdings?

Yes. And per the DTA, Thailand has primary taxation authority to tax these remittances. UNLESS this new TRD rule is used as an exception:
So, what's in your IRA? Pre 2024 income; thus not assessable by TRD decree. Yes, tax deferred, in the case of Traditionl IRAs -- or after tax income, in the case of a Roth (or tx exempt, for subsequent earnings). But, in both cases, the assets in your IRA began as pre 2024 income -- what they look like on 12/31/2023 is irrelevant, i.e., cash, stocks, whatever. So, it looks clear -- at least to me -- that the TRD decree means your IRA distributions, albeit labelled self directed pensions, are not taxable -- except for income accumulated post 2023 -- and recent info says you can use FIFO, thus these earnings would represent the last element of any monies remitted.
Can you elaborate on the "recent info" that says we can use FIFO? (not about IRA, but cash)
Say fictional Steve's 12/31/23 non-assessable cash (assume all of it) is traded in 2024 for capital gains (no losses) and savings interest, and considering FIFO (the broker uses this with capital gains right now) would declare the new income is "last on the list" of what gets remitted, is it wrong to think "no need to file" or pay taxes until the original capital is exhausted in remittance? Assume just one lone remittance per year, in January or February and nothing else remitted during the year.
Say Steve was told in a "free 15 minute" call that nope, all those 2023 funds would then "become assessable" (is that even possible?) since all that cash was used in 2024 to make money with capital gains trading and savings interest.
Not sure who is correct.

Thailand will not impose taxes on foreign remittances for foreigners because doing so would inadvertently grant foreigners tax rights that the government wants to avoid.
By taxing remittances, the Thai government could create a precedent that allows people to claim certain privileges, such as the ability to purchase property and access public services. This could lead to concerns about foreign ownership and influence within the local economy.
So is this tax voluntary, or mandatory as of this date? (I am not asking about if I am a resident, 120k, 150k+, etc)
Your statement suggests they "cannot" (or are you suggesting only your opinion here?) tax our remittances legally as of this date?

Third time today ,I'm taking pictures of condo I have farangs stopping to ask what I'm doing !
I'm in the public sidewalk a old farang stops and starts looking up high at the Jomtien Condo which I found strange has Spa baths on the balcony ?
" Why you taking pictures of the building?
I said I think they have spa baths ln the balcony
He said " mate they don't like you taking pictures
I said " who are you to tell me?
A lot of bored farangs in Pattaya on a Sunday
Second one was standing on that Jomtien road outside the gym
I was taking pictures another old farang comes along to enquire what I'm doing ,just a stroller going past ,nothing to do with the gym
Do I look suspicious
Why don't you just keep walking to where your going ,I'm sure if I done that in Australia asked someone what are you doing ,someone would punch me in the mouth !
If you came with a better attitude ok I'm taking pictures
,what am I doing standing outside the gym ,"mate I noticed you been standing here when I went past last time ,why you standing here ?

I have served as a poll watcher, and have watched the votes being counted.
I suspect that the foreign Trump supporters are clueless about election procedures, maybe the domestic variety, too.
Let me break it down succinctly, finally, and once and for all, where no further questions or opinions have any value. The bozo himself did everything legally he could to overturn his valid election loss by filing over 60 cases in any court in the land that would hear it. ALL OF THEM were thrown out for no merit, and some with no standing. In short, it was up to HIM to provide the proof, and he failed to provide ANY. Read this part correctly: ZERO EVIDENCE EXISTS FOR ACCURACY IN HIS ASSERTION. The issue is closed, and will forever be closed as of the last day of the final court case that was ejected for lack of evidence/standing.
He then intentionallly had a speech and a grouping on January 6th, fully aware of the DATE, TIMING, and LOCATION, where he implored anyone and everyone to come because, in his words, "it will be wild!" The point was for anyone and everyone to physically stop the certification of the election he knew he validly LOST. He knows from past experience how easy it is to manipulate minions; ask Michael Cohen to explain to you how and why he was completely controlled by the bozo in his own head.
The failure to stop the counting was his last possible action, and he is now indicted for attempting to overthrow the country based on his illegal thoughts and persistently illegal behavior. HE FAILED TWICE.

Your assessment is factually and legally incorrrect. He was found guilty by a jury of his peers, not any person or group he told his followers to hate.

Is this OP serious? No clue about the real history of this bozo. He learned much from his former personal attorney Roy Cohn, whom he coldly ignored when revealed as a disbarred gay man in hiding. Personally convicted of 34 felonies for crimes he did (with evidence and testimony), impeached twice for actions he did, his personally-named company is a felon for crimes he blamed on the guy he personally selected 15 years prior, Weisselberg. and paid him millions and his legal fees through the trials, and on it goes.
Found guilty of sexual assault in NY ("rape" in any other state, but NY requires the rapee to look down and verify if it was a finger or a penis that the rapist used to rape her!, hence sexual assault), found twice to have defamed and lied about her in public and fined almost 100 million dollars penalty (if he defames again, they move immediately to the penalty phase!) his former acccountant Mazars revoked all 15 years of financial statements because he lied to them for those and more years and they announced publicly that no business or entity should take his financial statements seriously because of the lies of the client himself (this began the period where he added that hopeless disclaimer statement that was deemed not valid in court), liable for repeated systemic business loan lies and INTENTIONAL, wildly misvalued-property fraud as a course of natural behavior for 10 years at a minimum (finally caught) and fined over 500 million dollars disgorgement, plus 3 of 4 cases waiting to be adjudicated in court, including 1) for ATTEMPTING TO OVERTHROW THE USA IN 2021! and pushing false electors way after the laste date of all his 60+ court cases were thrown out for lack of merit (no evidence), standing, etc - HE WON ZERO COURT CASES defending his "stolen election" fiction story, so the issue with pushing false electors AFTER the final loss date made the continuing action illegal, 2) stealing and refusing to cooperate with the US Justice Dept in returning stolen classified and other official documents from the WH which he neither IS nor WAS legally allowed to take or keep! (the case will be reversed in the Appeals court in November hopefully with a new, non-corrupt judge as his appointed Cannon incorrectly and improperly dismissed the case without legal standing or precedent to do so), Georgia's RICO case where 4 of his former attorneys have pled guilty for assisting him in attempting to overthrow his election loss in 2020 with the bozo caught on tape attempting to strong-arm Georgia officials to just "give him" the votes! (illegal), and the 34-count felony conviction where he was caught and convicted, the sentencing of which will occur in November. He has 3-4 personal attorneys already disbarred for these activities because his ego can't admit he lost in 2020.
Any more questions? Don't bother. Your furious leader told you to ignore it all. He gave you persons and entities to hate and blame instead. All former dictators used the same playbook. Don't think he will do whatever he wants when he gets the keys to the nation's car?
And zero evidence to impeach 46.
Bill Maher's assessment is correct: he's over. His political epitaph will read "they're eating the dogs!"

Hi Jeffers, I just happen to be meeting someone in KFC tomorrow. Lousy food but easy to find in Phitsanulok. To prove your theory, I shall order two portions, one original and one spicy. Then my photos will prove whether you are right or wrong.
Eh, good idea?
Hey, so where are these photos?? Get us interested then fail to follow through, eh? 😆
Post 'em!

The other stuff about her not being affectionate means you are her new "job" now and she is not "into" you. Do you think that is a death knell for a relationship? BINGO!

Naw, get the Ayam English Recipe. The red one above is just too sweet. Spoils the flavor of the beans. The ER is terrific, tastes like what you expect baked beans to taste like, and only 49 baht for 425 gram cans.
