I wish they'd sort this site out so it stopped doing it.

Slap on some Quadriderm cream (anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory). You should get relief in a few days... but the scalp is very difficult to clear up so might take a couple of weeks of applying.

When I attempt to post content on this website, and only this website, at random moments several hundred lines will appear below the text. What is going on?

This screams air pollution. Stick some of the Klean Kare saltwater up your nose twice a day for a week.

Stupid me! I lent a lot of money to a Thai woman.
Gaccha replied to gingerandtabby's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
What evidence do you have that you passed money to her? What evidence that you loaned it? How much in assets or income does she have? Perhaps think about: Did she start the business? Did you pay her the loan through a bank or with cash? -
The only non-electronic reading I see are class texts, work documents, manga and biographies of revered Thai monks.

As an update, although no news services have confirmed this, V Ventures, the venture capitalists who agreed to buy Zipmex for 100 million for a 90% share, have already provided the first tranche (I find it odd that the word "tranche" is used in this situation for lots of complex reasons that I won't go into). Apparently, they'll make themselves a creditor to the company in 5 batches of credit before then becoming an owner in April. At any point, I believe they could still back out but it seems a surprisingly canny investment so that is unlikely. Several experts have pointed out, to my surprise, that the debt owed by the bankrupt Babel Finance (around 35 million) is likely to be retrieved by Zipmex.

Buying pepper spray in Thailand
Gaccha replied to RandolphGB's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
I last bought some at Chaengwattans government centre. They had it in a shop near Police Immigration. Before that, in the old location of Immigration, I used to buy it in the old police uniforms shop across the road. But I've noticed in Bangkok that it is much harder to buy than 10 years ago. -
Obviously when requesting you should state the ingredients (Moxifloxacin), not the brand name.

The deal agreed upon divides the customer creditors into two groups. People with less than 5,000 dollars of value will be presumed to agree to the deal. Those with more than 5,000 dollars must be persuaded to agree. There will be a roadshow in Thailand and Singapore to persuade them. The deal seems vulnerable to litigation for several reasons but the most obvious are: The deal treats creditors differently depending on jurisdiction and, incredibly, expects regulators to go along with this. The judge was shocked that this matter had not been more thoughtfully dealt with. The value to be returned will be that of July 2022, which not only removes credited extra amounts of "interest", but ignores the value cost of losing access to the money for one year.

They obviously are turning it into a signing ceremony, since the contract itself could be sent by post for you to sign. Ask for the draft contact by e-mail. If you receive it, you might want one or two of us to take a look at it. This is becoming odd.

As I thought... the report has been corrected: "CORRECTION (Dec. 2, 11:08 UTC): Corrects that Dec. 21 was set for hearing superpriority claims. An earlier version of this story said it was a deadline for a takeover agreement. Adds details of Bloomberg report on V Ventures deal." This is still ambiguous. It might be a way to gain court recognition of the new investment as having priority over all other creditors. In the alternative, it might be a way for certain creditors such as the lawyers etc dealing in the bankruptcy protection gaining priority recognition.

No. You sign after you've looked at it. There are some exceptions in English Law to this rule where the goverment has decided as a matter of public policy, the pressure is so great because of such an imbalance between parties, a forcible cooling off is required. These contracts are under the Consumer Contracts Regulations and the Consumer Credit Act and are for consumer contracts. You are no consumer in this case. You are going to be shown the contract before agreeing to it. When you walk into a normal shop in Thailand, they don't offer up a contract for you to consider and negotiate; at best, the price is up for discussion. The contract is foisted upon you without you knowing anything about it. That's the experience of being a regular consumer. In Thai law, there seems to be a similar, albeit narrower exception. Owing to the great pressure on naive consumers in direct sales marketing, there's a 7 day period cooling off, under the Direct Sales and Direct Marketing Act. At the very least, you MUST have a lawyer summarize the document for you. Better than that, offer their opinion on it and warn you where required. As things stand, your intention to blindly sign is nuts.

Thai bank account reporting abroad

There's a convention signed between Thailand and Canada: 'For the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income' Pay specific attention to Article 25. Everything is in place to stop you evading paying taxes on your income, dividends, royalties and so on. -
This afternoon, Zipmex secured an extension of creditor protection in the Supreme Court of Singapore until April 2023. Interestingly, according to the press reports, the judge has required that any takeover must be agreed by 21st December. This is presumably the press reporter not grasping the intricacies of the judge's ruling. Presumably, the judge was referring to the current takeover offering only. V Ventures has laid an offer on the table to buy Zipmex, but Zipmex's ability to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory should not be underestimated. So although any rational person would have grabbed this offer, the rather notoriously stubborn marketing director refused to sign onto it placing the whole deal in peril. The judge has given her a chance to rethink her behaviour. If there is to be a deal, it should happen in around 2 weeks.
