  1. On the contrary. Tourist numbers keep increasing. Even the murderously high PM2.5 pollution levels doesn't discourage them.
  2. I don't understand what you mean. Could you elaborate, please?
  3. I need help. I cannot find the AirBKK application in the Google Play Store. Currently, I have IQAir, เช็คฝุ่น (translation: check dust) and Air4Thai installed on my Android phone.
  4. And what's the wealth tax situation down under?
  5. I wonder how many women will come forward to watch the video clips to see if they are shown in any of them. "Here, officer, this is my vulva. I'm sure. I can prove it" Creepy.
  6. This is the founding principle of the tax on assets in countries that have this tax: If you have gainful employment, you pay tax on this income. When you spend part or all of your income, you pay Value Added Tax (VAT) If you do not spend all your income and put some money in a savings account, you pay income tax on earned interest. If you invest some of your income in divided-paying stocks, you pay income tax on the dividends. If you have a house built with some of your savings, you VAT on the materials and the services rendered by the construction company as per point 2 above. Lastly, if you have been foolish enough not to squander all your income hand over fist as you earned it, you get punished with a tax on assets. That's what it is; the tax on assets is a punitive tax. As the US statesman Benjamin Franklin said: "nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes"
  7. For what destination and what date is your flight booked?
  8. LL? Sorry I don't understand.
  9. I didn't know that Aseannow has a built-in spelling checker. How does one enable it?
  10. What does the German tax office have to do do with the taxation of Australian pension payments in Thailand?
  11. What does Thailand's DTA with Australia say about it?
  12. The following news article says that Thailand has a law, since 2014, that makes e-cigatettes illegal: https://aseannow.com/topic/1334318-vaping-troubles-british-tourists-warned-of-costly-holiday-mistake/?do=getNewComment And now the cabinet issues a regulation to ban students from using them. What a farce!
  13. There probably is a correlation between the estimated travel time and the price.
  14. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UgM6K9KYvcH793rk_a7OEeZ92JkCjkcq/view?usp=drivesdk This morning, 7 January, at 07:00 hours in Khet Khlong San, Bangkok: AQI 188, PM2.5 108 Who has a worse pollution today?
  15. The online application form does not mention "gay individuals". It asks "Is your partner of the opposite sex?" and if you check "Yes" it allows you to complete the application. https://www.prove-eligibility-foreign-government.service.gov.uk/thailand/opposite-or-same-sex
  16. Are you saying that the British embassy no longer issues the "affirmation of freedom to marry"? https://www.gov.uk/guidance/confirm-youre-free-to-get-married-in-thailand#check-eligibility-and-the-documents-you-need
  17. Paperwork to register the marriage where? At the embassy or at the he Thai district office (amphoe)?
  18. So this is how Shopee handles it. If they send the GPS coordinates of the pin location to the courier's mobile phone app, the couriers don't have to type in the adress and they get always exactly the same location. The couriers who delivered despite the somewhat imprecise coordinates obviously were better in finding the recipients address in the vicinity of the pin location than the latest courier mentioned in the OP.
  19. The way you describe it, the courier made a typing error when when he typed your address into his navigation device or having typed the address correctly, the map used by the device put the pin in the wrong spot. Not all devices use the same navigation app and not all navigation apps use the same map.
  20. The point is that as the new Prime Minister she was obliged by law to declare her assets within a specific period. She asked for an extension of the deadline, which was granted, and now we have the results. That's all there is to it.
  21. I had to look up what Bearbicks are. https://blog.fromjapan.co.jp/en/hobby/2022-guide-to-bearbrick-the-origins-how-to-buy-where-to-buy-and-much-more.html#:~:text=Bearbrick Sizing,standing at 7 centimeters tall.
  22. There are all kinds of pins all over the digital world. Who created your pin, how and on what input from whom?
  23. What? So much? Remember, each arrival in Thailand is counted as "a tourist" and this also includes the border bouncers. If I make four entries into Thailand in a year, I am counted as four tourists.
  24. Easy to find out: try it. Perhaps the programmer specified 0.2MB even though the program reduces larger images down to the specified maximum size. One can never know, can one, until one tries? I can already guess your next question: What happens if the image size is 2,001 bytes? My answer will be the same: Try it.
  25. A few years ago I decided how long I expect to live, exactly to the day, but I won't tell anyone.
