The import licenses you refer to are for the seeds. The plant and buds which are sold as exotics are from imported seeds but grown indoors in Thailand. Tourists are willing to pay more if they think it’s foreign. I’m not saying illegal imports of buds isn’t happening but at current market rates it really doesn’t make any financial sense to ship from abroad and pay the 40k baht per kilo under the table fee at customs to look the other way.

You could try this. Put the parts and regular super glue in the fridge, move to an open freezer (quickly so the parts can’t condensate), and do your glueing in there. It’ll make the curing go considerably slower. After being done move them back to the closed fridge quickly and let it cure in there slowly.

Only allowed under specific conditions, capped, and with the employees express prior consent. Get it wrong as employer and face stiff penalties; https://www.tilleke.com/insights/pay-or-not-pay-deduction-wages-under-labor-protection-act/

No. Immigration doesn’t deal with your employment status.

Immigration may require you to stay one or more days in Malaysia before heading back in. Make sure you write a dismissal letter for your employment and report yourself at social security to sign out. If you have a pink ID you can then opt to continue your health insurance for a pittance should you wish to remain longer in Thailand than 30 days. You can also request a refund of some of the social premiums you paid over the years under certain conditions. Lastly in case you stay longer, you can apply for unemployment benefits at the labor department when handing in your work permit there and say you are fired. This is 70% of 15k max, and you’ll have to report monthly to get it. I don’t know if that’s possible on Tao and if you have to travel to Samui for this the hassle is not worth it.

200 is okay. That gives a result which is 99% of the time within plus or minus 10% of the actual value. To lower the margin of error to +-5% the sample group would have to be closer to 400.

Your calculation is correct. But you’ll have a 90k deductible first, so your taxable income would be 910k. You can also deduct social security contributions (12x750) and medical expenses. Then you can reduce your taxable income further by putting money aside in a mutual or provident fund, and there are deductions for other things like taking care of kids and parents.

Hi. Is it possible to get a 60 day extension to stay for being married to a Thai when entered visa exempt? If yes, is it also still possible to get the regular 30 day extension before or after the 60 day extension? Thanks.

Not at all airports will immigration process re entry permits. Koh Samui is one such example.

I have similar positive experiences at the Phatthalung office. The most recent time I was there a few weeks ago, I signed their logbook and the person who signed in before me did so 4 days prior. They’re still happy to see a foreigner ????

Are you sure they were bats? I have seen the occasional bat on Samui, but swiftlets are far more common. Empty buildings get repurposed for swiflets to make nests in, and can house hundreds. Good business!

I assume it’s the building at the north end of Chaweng? After almost being finished it was deemed too high. Max 3 floors allowed. All played out around 15 or so years ago.

Sure. It’s not smart to poke a snarling dog when it’s inside it’s own territory and trying to protect the place. BUT when that snarling dog comes into my garden and thinks it’s its territory now as well, I will first poke, then kick, and whatever stronger actions I can think of to convince it to leave. If it is too dumb or stubborn to get the message then it will have to be put down, removing the threat altogether.

If there’s no mention in the contract then the landlord can charge up to the maximum allowed interest rate, which currently stands at 15% per annum for general loans.

An interesting view from someone very experienced with oil and gas pipe maintenance , indicating it could well have been accidents caused by typical Russian incompetence. The same way the Kursk sank, Chernobyl blew up, and MH17 was shot down. https://thelawdogfiles.com/2022/09/nordstream.html

I agree. Plus you’ll face another risk. During heavy rain periods the ground water level rises. Without water in the pool, the entire pool structure will float up and break everything in its path.

Since your bicycle already comes with two wheels, a saddle, and steering wheel, an option is to use a portable electric propulsion on it. Stick it on to zoom to your cycling area, then take it off to recharge it while you’re cycling. Put it back on for the drive back home. https://www.rubbee.co.uk

Well done Enzo. Previous winners in this category were Alonso, Leclerc and Albon. If he gets picked up by a major diving academy, then he has a solid chance to make into a professional series.

As a Dutch person this sounds very familiar. Exactly how the Nazi’s fled The Netherlands on stolen bicycles at the end of WW2.

In a prospective cohort study, the control group is internal, in this case the data gathered at baseline (prior to the vaccination). a prospective cohort study is more powerful than a case-control study (which you are thinking of), because it distinguishes cause and effect.

Because the violent insurgency it not about Islam vs Buddhism anymore. It’s all about control of the border area with Malaysia. A <deleted> ton of smuggling money is being made by some influential locals and certain Bangkok handlers. Every time the government of Thailand cracks down or proposed to increase security and stability in the region, suddenly these acts of violence occur. Islam and self determination are just the excuse to keep at least part of the local Muslim population on board. Attacking Bangkok is a red line they all know not to cross.

Just Google ‘runway excursion’, and click on images. Seeing a plane with slides deployed is the exception. A plane doesn’t just blow up or catches fire when skidding into the grass, just as your car won’t blow up when you skid of the road into some grassy area.

Are you a pilot or have experience with aviation safety guidelines? I’m asking because the evacuation guidelines set by the airlines that I’m familiar with, along with those set by Boeing and Airbus, do not agree with you in regard to when an emergency evacuation should be conducted.

What a nonsense article! If the airplane is not in imminent danger the safest place for the passengers is on board. Using stairs is always preferable over using the slides, as it’s very common for broken ankles and legs to happen when using these. And then you’ve got all these people roaming around and wandering off. So the pilot followed aviation protocols exactly, by turning everything off, and waiting to get the stairs fitted (which unfortunately didn’t work), and then only allowing the number of people off the plane by slide who could be transferred away by van immediately. the pilot may have <deleted> the landing (an investigation will clear that up), but from what I read he did everything right after that.
