More Wise issues
Here's some info in the link below on WISE from Forbes (UK edition). It also does a very basic/brief comparison with TOR-FX, XE.Com, and WISE. Both WISE and TOR-FX appear to be British operations (WISE HQ in London; TOR in Penzance). XE.com is Canadian (Toronto area). I wonder if moving Sterling via WISE might be easier than with other currencies (and what if you don't use Kasikorn in Thailand, does that make any difference?) https://www.forbes.com/uk/advisor/money-transfer/wise-review/ -

any update about taxing foreigners in thailand?
are there any actual developments, or does this subject remain a theoretical exercise for farang seeking to spar and insult each other's intelligence? -

Bangkok Tower Collapse: Watchdog Warned of Sub-Standard Steel
That was the poorly-translated headline. That's not what was said in the article. Some dude in a suit said a thing. Suspicions. Looking into it. What did the watchdog say? What exactly is "potential corner-cutting"? Potential, or proven, and in what area? If they had found sub-standard steel being used, they probably would have mentioned that. -

Hospital recommendation - Bangkok
Hi Edward, Thanks for the input. But I got this answer from Google AI... "While Thai military hospitals are primarily for Thai military personnel and their dependents, expats can sometimes access them, but they are not the primary choice for foreigners and may have limited availability. Here's a more detailed explanation: Primary Focus: Thai military hospitals are intended for members of the Royal Thai Armed Forces and their families. Limited Access for Expats: While not impossible, access for expats is generally limited and may depend on specific circumstances, such as a medical emergency or a lack of alternative options. " ...so I'm a bit doubtful it's an option? Did you have a specific circumstance enabling you to register? -

Iran Warns of Retaliation Against Britain’s Diego Garcia Base Amid US Tensions
No it would not. Chernobyl's radiation demonstrated this. When Chernobyl failed, the radiation drifted over Europe. Alex Wellersteins Nukemap models various nuclear weapon detonations. In the event that Russia sends a nuclear cruise missile to Kyev; Effect distances for a 150 kiloton airburst*: Fireball radius: 498 m (0.78 km²) Maximum size of the nuclear fireball; relevance to damage on the ground depends on the height of detonation. If it touches the ground, the amount of radioactive fallout is significantly increased. Anything inside the fireball is effectively vaporized. Minimum burst height for negligible fallout: 407 m. Radiation radius (500 rem): 1 km (3.17 km²) 500 rem ionizing radiation dose; likely fatal, in about 1 month; 15% of survivors will eventually die of cancer as a result of exposure. Moderate blast damage radius (5 psi): 3.74 km (43.8 km²) At 5 psi overpressure, most residential buildings collapse, injuries are universal, fatalities are widespread. The chances of a fire starting in commercial and residential damage are high, and buildings so damaged are at high risk of spreading fire. Often used as a benchmark for moderate damage in cities. Optimal height of burst to maximize this effect is 1,660 m. Thermal radiation radius (3rd degree burns): 5.26 km (86.9 km²) Third degree burns extend throughout the layers of skin, and are often painless because they destroy the pain nerves. They can cause severe scarring or disablement, and can require amputation. 100% probability for 3rd degree burns at this yield is 10.1 cal/cm². Light blast damage radius (1 psi): 10.5 km (347 km²) At around 1 psi overpressure, glass windows can be expected to break. This can cause many injuries in a surrounding population who comes to a window after seeing the flash of a nuclear explosion (which travels faster than the pressure wave). Often used as a benchmark for light damage in cities. Optimal height of burst to maximize this effect is 2,480 m.
