What do you think the impact of tax on foreign income will be on Pattaya? Guess we will find out post-Jan-1st-2024. Until then? It's just needless worry. Wait until there is something to worry about.

Of course not. Birds of a feather..........................

God-damn. These "Tiger Farms" exist because the Thai government allows them to exist. First in a "Tiger Farm." Then in a "Tiger NGO." Fools. Everyone. All of these animals belong in a preserve. Fat chance. Then - some corporate head decides he is above the law and decides to go hunting. <slap slap slap> <--- The sound to wet bamii noodle slapping the back of the billionaire's hand.

Can I marry my dog? Cat? How about my bird. Oh come on. Let's really loosen the laws regarding marriage in Thailand. Why worry about sexes. Lets indulge in different species too. Why not? I wish to have a polygamous marriage. I want to marry my wife, my missuses, my pets, and anyone else that the current leaders wish me to marry when we rip all of the institutions apart and make society a fooooking free-for-all. If we are going to rip down the institution of marriage? Let's rip it down completely 'eh. Let's not **** around about it. How long will it take before the Thai government concedes to marrying off 10 year olds? 5 year olds? 12 year olds? Once you breech morality? There is nothing left. So why not open up marriage to the most obtuse and evil mofos whom exist on this planet. Open the gate and watch the results................................

What is 'rardna?" I do better if a Thai food is written in Thai or in transliterated Thai as English translation of Thai word suck. ราดหน้า doesn't have an English equivalent. The best I can ascertain is "topping." "Topping" for what? What is it?

Yeah baby - break out the swings!!! LET'S GET FREAKY!!!

Well this sucks. This recent research infers that the Statins people take for high cholesterol may in fact be responsible for creating the conditions for coronary artery calcification. The bad news: Statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure: pharmacological mechanisms In contrast to the current belief that cholesterol reduction with statins decreases atherosclerosis, we present a perspective that statins may be causative in coronary artery calcification and can function as mitochondrial toxins that impair muscle function in the heart and blood vessels through the depletion of coenzyme Q10 and ‘heme A’, and thereby ATP generation. Statins inhibit the synthesis of vitamin K2, the cofactor for matrix Gla-protein activation, which in turn protects arteries from calcification. Statins inhibit the biosynthesis of selenium containing proteins, one of which is glutathione peroxidase serving to suppress peroxidative stress. An impairment of selenoprotein biosynthesis may be a factor in congestive heart failure, reminiscent of the dilated cardiomyopathies seen with selenium deficiency. Thus, the epidemic of heart failure and atherosclerosis that plagues the modern world may paradoxically be aggravated by the pervasive use of statin drugs. We propose that current statin treatment guidelines be critically reevaluated https://cardiacos.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/2015-Statins-stimulate-atherosclerosis-and-heart-failure-pharmacological-mechanisms.pdf The good news? There are ways to mitigate the damage. Happy reading.

Everyone in Thailand will die from the horrific plague of Covid Unless you get your shots. Safe and Effective. So get your mRNA shots as soon as you can and as often as you can. It's the only thing that will keep you from dying a horrible death from the Covid Plague. Get the shots and you'll live. Fail to take the shots and you'll die for sure.

No. Nothing I'm going to write in this forum given the nature of this forum. Most here don't have a clue.

Yeah. I had a NDE when I was in my teens. It probably explains why my bull<deleted>ometer is calibrated so sensitively. Try dying! It's a trip. Then? Life's "realities" become something you explore as opposed to accept (like in "everyone must accept what "experts" say). Honestly. Unless the 'expert' has been where I went? They don't have a clue.

I heard it tastes like chicken.

A mask that filters 100% of PM 2.5. Ok. A piece of cloth?

It seems so. I keep wanting to grab them by the collar and yelling at them, "WHY ARE YOU AFRAID?" Instead? I just shake my head at the lunacy.

I have a new car too. I paid cash. No monthly payment. Why would you want to be indebted here in Thailand?

Just found Thaivisa in 2020? "...many years?" Ok.

Suvarnabhumi

Thais love to be subjugated.

Looks like your worship the God of Ukraine.

So? Nope.

I can't wait for someone to tell me there is "Nothing After Death!!!" Really? EXCELLENT! I hope so. But. (Here's my faith speaking). You are probably wrong. THERE IS NOTHING AFTER DEATH!" Wonderful. I hope there is only - nothingness. Just Emptiness. Understand? Probably not.....................................

Only if you think Buddhism is a 'religion.' I'm a "Buddhist." A devout Buddhist at that. But in my perspective? Buddhism IS NOT a religion. Religions are based on Faith. Religions are based on a belief in a transcendent "God" who provided the faithful with their due. Buddha was a man. He provided a philosophy and a technique to transcend what you hold on to as "reality." You either understand or you don't. Now. Are there "Gods" in Buddhism? Yep. Absolutely. But Buddha's not a God. Yet there are deities in the Buddhist cosmologies. Some of the 'gods' are "Buddhas." I'm sure I just ripped somebodies mind out of their socket. There ya go. Welcome to the conundrums, riddles, and paradoxes of the Buddhist as a so-called, "religion." You're a heretic!!! Only if you are a believer in a religion which labels "non-believers" as heretics. Here's the ultimate conundrum - Understanding first-hand (NDE and deep meditation), and yet, embracing something that calls itself a "religion" and yet I have no "religious FAITH." Nope - I've experience in what is referred to as "religious FAITH," which was derived from introspection. Big Difference. Nope - I'm a Buddhist who doesn't attach to any Buddhist theocracy (because there is no theism in Buddhism - speaking from direct experience). And yet? If you have engaged in a whole lot of years practicing meditation........ You might understand. Or not.

Nope. I was a Theravada Buddhist decades before I came here. Coming here aligned me with my religion. But - I'm not a Thai Buddhist, although I've been a Theravada monk in Thailand, and although Thai Buddhism is based on the Theravada tradition. But it is NOT the sole Therevada Buddhist tradition in Southeast Asia or the world for that matter. Not that Immigration give a hoot. They don't.

Then it is a stupid purchase. Buy what will work, outside of the US. Then stop complaining. "I can only buy what I want in the United States." Then stay in the United States. Do you now understand why Eurasia and the Global South are moving away from Uncle Sam? Sanctions kill free-markets. Wake up.

Fyi. If you can afford an $8000 laptop, why are you worried about paying duties? Sorry - just channeling the 'cheap charlies' among us? <laughs>

Something I've noticed over the last 15+ years living here in Thailand. The Thai government pledges to protect tourists; tourists get assaulted and killed; every year for the last 15 years. Nothing changes accept the lip-service. Understand now?
