What will Trump come back as when he reincarnates? Especially given the size of his ego. I'm pretty sure he'll reincarnate as a big dog that goes around, lifts his leg, and pees on everything. This is mine, this in mine, this is mine, this is mine, this is mine, this is mine............................. Latest

Bold Prediction re: financial requirements for OA and O retirement

Jingthing · Thursday at 12:30 PM2 days

Talking about the long standing level of 800K bank method OR 65K a month income method. People have been predicting it was about to go up for the last 10 to 15 years but it has not happened. Recently such predictions are heating up. It's a safe, logical and superficially superficially probable prediction. But I submit it is probably a wrong prediction. Why you ask!?! Multiple reasons. The current level reflects within a range that is dominant globally for retirement visas including in Eur

The Bank of Thailand (BOT) has announced 18 nationwide holidays for financial institutions in 2027, producing eight long weekends of at least three days. The longest closure will be from Saturday, May 1, to Tuesday, May 4, combining the weekend, the substitute holiday for National Labour Day and Coronation Day. Songkran bank holidays will run for three consecutive days, April 13-15.

Rubbish. You can renew your passport anywhere there's an embassy/consulate for your country. Can probably even do it by courier.

Swedish singer honoured by former Koh Lanta school
Swedish singer honoured by former Koh Lanta school

Georgealbert posted a topic in Thailand News - Discussion

Swedish singer Zara Larsson has received a distinctly Thai-style tribute from the Koh Lanta language school where she says she attended third grade. Sanuk Language School, also known as Svenska Skolan Thailand, has put up congratulatory banners ahead of her sold-out Bangkok concert on November 1. The banners appeared after Larsson told fans that Thailand was an important part of her childhood. Her comments surprised many Thai followers and the video spread widely on Thai social media. Larsson announced the Bangkok date of her Midnight Sun Tour. The show is scheduled for UOB Live at Emsphere shopping mall, with Live Nation Tero as promoter. School celebrates its former pupil One banner outside Sanuk Language School reads: "Svenska Skolan Thailand would like to congratulate the world’s famous singer and our alumni, Zara Larsson. Her concert, Midnight Sun Tour, is coming to Thailand on November 1 at UOB Live, Emsphere." Thai Ticketmajor shared images of the signs on its official Instagram account. Thai social media users noted their resemblance to the congratulatory banners commonly seen outside government offices around the country. Larsson responded to the post with emojis, appearing to acknowledge and appreciate the gesture. In a TikTok video, the singer explained why the Bangkok show felt personal to her, saying: "Honestly, this feels like semi-personal to me because I love Thailand I’ve been there so many times, I used to do third grade in Koh Lanta, fun fact, like Thailand raised me. It’s really no, honestly, it’s like it’s like a part of my childhood actually." Ticket concerns followed by sell-out Larsson has a substantial Thai fanbase, but some fans initially criticised ticket prices as expensive when compared with Thailand's minimum wage. Tickets were priced from 2,800 to 3,900 baht, while the Soundcheck VIP Package cost 9,000 baht. The singer later said in a TikTok video that she agreed the tickets were not affordable for everyone, adding that she wanted fans to be able to attend and felt sorry for those unable to do so. Tickets initially remained unsold, prompting Larsson to launch a campaign encouraging fans to post dancing videos on TikTok until the show sold out. The Bangkok leg sold out on August 27. video_629412543659507736-wtJLXUBu.mp4 Join the discussion? 30 August 2026 View full article

Kunming-Udon Thani direct flights start 8 September
Kunming-Udon Thani direct flights start 8 September

Georgealbert posted a topic in Thailand News - Discussion

Lucky Air will begin direct charter flights between Kunming and Udon Thani on 8 September 2026, operating twice a week until 22 October. The route is intended to bring more Chinese visitors directly to Thailand's upper northeast. The flights will operate on Tuesdays and Thursdays using Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 189 seats, according to Lalida Periswattanapong, deputy government spokeswoman. Flight times and operating dates Lucky Air's inbound flight 8L867 will leave Kunming at 4.50pm and arrive in Udon Thani at 5.50pm. The return flight, 8L868, will depart Udon Thani at 6.50pm and land in Kunming at 9.50pm. The airline will operate the route from 8 September to 22 October 2026. The schedule may change under Lucky Air's operational plans. Lalida said the direct service would improve access between China and the upper northeast, helping distribute tourism revenue to hotels, restaurants, transport providers and other local businesses. The government is promoting regional airports as international gateways for travel, tourism and economic activity. Deputy Transport Minister Pattrapong Pattraprasit has pushed airport development under the Airport for Regional Development approach, aimed at improving safety standards and air links to support tourism, trade and investment. Airport prepares for international passengers Udon Thani Airport is due to receive its Public Aerodrome Operating Certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand on 2 September 2026. If completed as planned, it will become the sixth airport under the Department of Airports to receive the certification, following Betong, Buriram, Surat Thani, Phitsanulok and Krabi airports. The Transport Ministry and Department of Airports are coordinating with Immigration, Customs and public transport providers to prepare for international arrivals and onward connections from the airport. This will be particularly relevant to foreign residents and visitors using the new route, as international passengers will need the usual border, immigration and customs processing on arrival and departure. Lucky Air will receive a 50% reduction in aircraft landing and parking charges for one year under the Department of Airports' 2026 domestic and international route-development incentive scheme. The measure is designed to encourage airlines to open new services linking regional Thai airports with overseas destinations. Join the discussion? 30 August 2026 View full article

Does Higher-Technology ensure Lower-Quality human food?

GammaGlobulin · 2 hours ago2 hr

Dear Folks, As we can see, humans have been worried about buying Rubbish-Food, for years. And, I take this word Rubbish-Food from an educated housewife seen in the following linked video. Here is a 1975 documentary out of England which proves that the better the technology, the more advanced the ability of unscrupulous food suppliers to supply the public with Fake Food. In fact, everything seems to be fake, these day…. FAKE FOOD FAKE NEWS FAKE AI-SLOP ETC.,... Still, it is comforting to k

Prostitution and Male Dominance

fredwiggy · yesterday at 06:56 AM1 day

This is a hot topic and likely some won't bother to read this, especially those who benefit from it, it being a long read, but it makes real sense regarding the protection of women and their safety. Yes, if prostitution is to stay, and likely will, the women should be protected any way the government can, but this shows a lot of what they go through...............
