Alcohol Sector Set to Shake Up Thailand’s Stock Exchange
How about listing any profitable "Sin" industry, starting with either sexual prostitution or political prostitution, whichever is most profitable. Harry Truman supposedly stated that early in his career he had to make a choice between being a piano player in a whorehouse or being a politician. He further stated that he didn't see much difference between the two.

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
Thanks Pib, good advice, & I will do that. I'm lucky, it couldn't be simpler for me. My condo is just across the street (Lumpini Park View) with the MTR tunnel under Rama IV to "One Bangkok" at the front door of the condo.

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
Pib, Perhaps you know (or have an opinion): If I live most of the time in Chiang Mai (CM, with my LTR Visa registered as a resident of CM, & i have a CM TM30) but happen to be traveling to Bangkok, can I do my one year TM95 report at the "One Bangkok" location, without bothering to get a Bangkok TM30 first? If so, how about if I happen to be in Jomtien, can I do the one year TM95 report in Jomtien, without getting a Jomtien TM30 first?

Supreme Court to Rule on US Birthright Citizenship Debate
"and subject to the jurisdiction thereof". The debate is perhaps going to focus on different interpretations of the above words.

Further Displacement of Indigenous Peoples
Based upon the background buildings in the picture, it doesn't look to my memory like the area where I thought the removals were taking place, roughly across the street from the courthouse extending south toward Thepprasit. Could somebody put the exact location of this picture into perspective for me?

Probably only US 800 numbers are free.

US Federal Pension (OPM, DFAS & SS) and their Survivor Benefits
I think you are absolutely correct, Not a joke. One Thai goal would be to ensure ability of foreigners to pay very large hospital bills. 800K available in a bank accomplishes that faster than 65K /month, even if it jeopardizes the foreigners visa renewal.

US Federal Pension (OPM, DFAS & SS) and their Survivor Benefits
Pib, thank you very much for all of your replies above. You are certainly on top of these issues. Concerning the IDD/Immigration renewal problem, I guess all I can say is that Thailand (TAT, Immigration+) has certainly dropped the ball in failing to come up with a "work around" with banks to ease the visa renewal process for long term less than "wealthy" retirees. To an outsider (me) it appears to be a major lack of initiative at Continuous Process Improvement (CPI).

Also interesting is the consistently lower IDD exchange rate (0.73% lower). Have you seen any explanations /rationale for the that?
