They need to eat, too.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:45:24 +000033 is still youngThu, 18 Jun 2026 14:44:36 +0000Yep that's how it works. Also she would be stamped in (guessing visa exempt) and be given the stamp for tourist. Currently visa exempt is 60 days. If that covers required visit then all goodThu, 18 Jun 2026 14:43:28 +0000The video starts with the roof of the oil tank blowing off, destined to become an internet staple for some time. Good longer video, this attack was massive and the drone defense pretty well non existant Good morning moscowThu, 18 Jun 2026 14:43:18 +0000Mate, I must admit, you do have a valid point there. If I had to choose between one of your unintelligible waffles and a round of yawner footy on the telly, I think I’d still have to go with the footy.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:42:30 +0000i think the 'niche' (?) Space-X plan to do, is put XAi servers in a TBD earth orbit, using solar power that is not diluted from the earth's atmosphere, to power the XAi servers/computers. Assuming Space-X can minimize the satellites (with XAi servers embarked) exposure to the occasional lunar eclipse of the sun and minimize exposure to the occasional earth eclipse of the sun, the satellites will obtain massive sunlight. That sunlight will produce lots of power via the solar panels. i believe Space-X is the only organisation with an Ai product planning such. Why the interest in power? Purportedly AI requires massive electrical power. This (electrical power) tends to be a MAJOR expense for companies with AI products. I have not studied this enough to risk providing more details, that i could get wrong. So this may (or may not) give Space-X's XAi a commercial advantage.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:40:33 +0000What do all the Israelis think about that?Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:37:44 +0000so far only mentioning K.Samui and K.Phangan... why not check K.Tao as well??? remember???Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:35:53 +0000Always has a way with words, to the pointThu, 18 Jun 2026 14:35:45 +0000She always travels on her OZ passport, so yes,, she will need one.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:34:40 +0000I won't dispute the gambling assessment. IMHO a position in any company stock, to a lessor and greater degree, is gambling. However what i read is the partly re-usable Falcon-9 rocket is also making money. Contrary to your view that Starlink is the only money maker.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:33:44 +0000If she enters Thailand on foreign passport then yes should do a TDAC. Of course if she enters on her Thai pp then not required. I've done a few TDAC for various trips. Trust me it's very simpleThu, 18 Jun 2026 14:30:12 +0000If she enters Thailand on foreign policy then yes should do a TDAC. Of course if she enters on her Thai pp then not required. I've done a few TDAC for various trips. Trust me it's very simpleThu, 18 Jun 2026 14:29:59 +0000Easy, just do what you like to do, and not care about it.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:29:21 +0000Sure it is, and you will be going to Pattaya, and join George in his studies, right?Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:27:58 +0000This is true. He will be fighting an uphill battle for change.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:26:41 +0000No I did not. The judge made the comparison with the Suffragettes, there’s a clue in the BBC article I linked. Your grasp of the history of the Suffragettes is a little lacking.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:26:25 +0000Shasta County, a mixture of hippies and loggers.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:24:59 +0000My wife is Thai and travels on a foreign passport. Does she have to do a TDAC?Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:24:43 +0000The point of the juxtaposition evaded you. The association with the Suffragettes was made by the judge. Drink less coffee, Palestine action are not campaigning for the Genocide of Jews.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:24:02 +0000Thank you very much for all the details. I’ve always rented in Jomtien, but despite being happy with my condo, pool and near sea prom, I too found myself a bit cut off to the restaurant shops and Malls. I told her this. I ended up near the Dolphin roundabout…but am going to try Hua Hin, again , but years ago it was too boring for me. My friend wants Pattaya area so thanks for the comparison on you eventually going more often to Pattaya. Ive actually chosen a great looking condo well placed and agency, advised here by Hummin on AN. So good advice, always have asked here first. Cheers.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:20:40 +0000Composting might be the best option.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:20:36 +0000In listing my Canada income - to try to explain to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) why some of my incomes were not on my T1 I included in my tax return a covering letter noting i was NOT filing under Section-217 of the Canadian Income tax. Further in the covering letter i explained the Thai-Canada DTA addressed my capital gains, and explained the DTA addressed my dividends. I noted in the letter the withholding tax amounts that I already paid and I referenced the Canada tax guide para where it notes my tax obligation for such (as a non-resident of Canada) was hence met. Further I listed clearly ALL my global income in the Schedule-A (for full disclosure) and I also listed all my global income in my separate Old Age Security Recovery Income 'clawback' form. I also included the custom table (that i created) below, in my Canadian tax return, pointing to the specific para in tax law, tax guide, or DTA, that governed my approach. ... I was not 100% certain the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) would agree with me, ... but thus far, it appears they have agreed. If nothing else, i did provide full disclosure to them - which I believe kept me on legal ground. For posting here on this forum, I edited the table (remove $$ amounts and removing financial institute names) to preserve to a small amount my privacy. My hope is this table (and my approach) might help someone else - ESPECIALLY, if like me, you had CRA chasing you in past years. Nominally i would think a tax return like mine would not be required - but I have been a bit under CRA's microscope before (in the past).Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:19:30 +0000What was the 1 reason why the Iran has won this war ? The Strait of Hormuz. Unfortunately, the great strategist in the oval office and his defence minister failed to look at the map before. If they would have done so, they would immediately have seen, what tremendeous leverage the Iranians had by controlling the Strait. The US/the world's position currently: "Let's sighn anything, as long as the strait reopens".Thu, 18 Jun 2026 14:19:26 +0000Ignore THIM. Just do your TDAC within 72 hours prior to entry. Takes a minute or two. You will receive confirmation and approval in quick time. ChillThu, 18 Jun 2026 14:13:58 +0000
