Other than Kimchee I'm not fond of Korean food at all. One of my least favorite places to eat on this globe.

They can make life a lot tougher on you than you can on them. Just saying..... TIT.

I love it when a news article looks at one day of trading and thinks they have the entire picture when all they have is a one day's slice of information. For some reason their is a real push to claim the THB is tanking. Why? Gold moves with the debasement of the reserve currency (USD) as well as to Geo-political and regional destabilization. Swings in the prices are normal and they swing both ways. You look at the trend line as well as inflation statistics. And best to look at 'real' inflation as opposed to government stats which are monkeyed with to make the government looks as though they are controlling inflation - the are not! Look at the trend. The Trend Is Your Friend. Where to get 'real' inflation and CPI stats? Shadow Stats. Fyi. I can only get this site to run properly in Chrome.

Is it better to be single or attached in Thailand? As a wise man once said to me, "It depends.........."

Love...comes and goes as fast as money. Often together at the same time. "I WANT HALF!!!"

Exactly!

I wonder which Karaoke bars the officers celebrated at? ????

I kinda like this "Topper" myself!

Maybe, but she ended up marrying some Aussie and moving to Australia, so I think she actually was better off. I was just off a divorce in the US (cheating b***h) and once I had hooked up with this gal, emotionally at the time I simply didn't want a relationship. At that time I measured relationships in 90 minute intervals max. Living in Krung Thep at the time.

Somewhere between 1 and 10!

That would make many juvenile, 14 - 15 year old young male's, MILF dreams come true. <cue Van Halen's Hot For Teacher>

I hear the Kimchee is great this time of year!

The US and Thailand have a Tax Treaty. You won't be paying double tax on your US income as you are already taxed. That is exactly the point of Tax Treaties. If the Thai government doesn't get it's foreign tax policy's ???? together they'll be so much international flack by March 2024 that Srettha's government will have to address the issues or lose face. The international community will force the issue. Now as far as Thai natives deriving income from overseas like retail investors. Yeah! They should be paying tax to their own country's government. The problem here is that Srettha's government has tossed a net in order to catch little Thai fishes, but the foreign sharks and whales they catch will tear the nets to pieces. They really need to focus their policies on their own citizens and be da*m clear about it, which they are not at the moment. At worse you'll need to file some additional paperwork. But I doubt this insanity is going to stand firm for more than a couple of months as it was poorly planned and implemented without any real forethought. TIT.

"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." “Love is the law, love under will.” --Alister Crowley, The Book Of Law That's a tough question BMToo. For me morality in many senses means "do no harm." However, many people believe that you must do and act as they say or else they'll feel 'harmed." However - I can't feel responsibly for the feelings of anyone else as their feelings and world-view may be totally irrational to me. Overall I strive to be a 'good', compassionate person who cares for others. But I'm no saint, nor am I evil. I'm just a regular sorta guy.

A typical 'Flu' infection for myself lasted about three days max (last case about 20 years ago) My recent infection of a SARS-based "flu" called Covid lasted 60 hours. I guess it depends on how robust your immune system is.

So, Covid didn't eradicate 'the flu' after all.

And yet from a different article published on AN: "In a related development, the Revenue Department has modified its notification on tax imposition on certain foreign-sourced income. This change will be effective from January 1, 2024." Yeah, ambiguous and as clear as mud, but we don't care - eat it - commoners.

Any time a wealthy, elitist PM talks about narrowing income disparity in the name of equality - Run! In the long run they will make life a living hell for everyone but the upper 1% to 3% of the citizenry. This entire edict was clear as mud and yet they'll shove it down the throats of the citizenry. Yeah, and of course they'll implement digital currency - CBDCs - in order to put every satang of every Thai's earnings, income, and cash transactions under a microscope in the name of "equality." Then come the real taxes. It has nothing to do with equality - it has to do with gleaning every satang from the 99%. It has to do with transferring as much of the nation's wealth to private corporations as the system can handle - all at the expense of the 99%. The upper 1% live in rarified air and have ways to move funds without scrutiny as well as to use high-paid accountants to cover their tracks, legally and otherwise, to avoid taxation. And along with CBDCs will come a nascent social credit system where access to bank funds will be the "carrot and the stick" for the 99%'s proper social behavior.

I don't see a "stampede." Today's rates at BBK Bank.

How much alcohol is too much? The day you ask the question, "How much alcohol is too much?," any alcohol is too much.

What online source are you using to obtain today's USD/THB exchange rate.

They'll probably be some low level cops rotting in prison when the Statutes of Limitations run out and the kids waltzes back into Thailand a free man......and laughing and laughing and laughing.

It's called Selective Enforcement. Interpol Red Notices are for commoners and political enemies.

"October!" "When will Thaksin Shinawatra make a miraculous recovery from all of his illnesses?"

Considering that almost all of the businesses in and around the Old City where declared "Non Essential" in 2020, ultimately leading to a large proportion of small and medium sized businesses going bankrupt, closing, and shuttering their store fronts therefore making Thapae and other roads look like a vestige of a bombed out, post-WWII city - yeah, early-returning tourists come then tell their friends back home that Chiang Mai is a mirage of what it used to be, and potential tourists book a different venue for their vacations. Heck, even Kad Suan Kaow Mall folded. Who wants to come to Chiang Mai to see half the tourist areas looking like Ghost Towns? Well, maybe TAT can market that: "Come To Ghost-Town Chiang Mai!"
