Crime Indian Tourist Found Dead on Koh Samet with Head Bound in Plastic Bag
Lot of maybes and lot of arm chair detectives automatically blame a Thai. Just "MAYBE" he got on the wrong side of fellow Indians or Russian mafia types or who knows what he "maybe" was up to. Maybe is a mighty big word to toss around. Maybe better to wait for more information before passing verdicts? Maybe and maybe not mean the same thing. -

THAILAND LIVE Thailand Live Tuesday 20 May 2025
Thailand Modifies Tax Rules Affecting Foreigners and Foreign Income File photo for reference only The Thai Revenue Department is preparing legislative changes that will significantly impact the taxation of foreign income remitted to Thailand, affecting both locals and expatriates living in the country. Deputy Director-General Panuwat Luengwilai announced that these modifications will require Thais and foreign residents who earn income abroad to report it on their Thai tax returns once remitted, regardless of the tax year in which it was earned. These taxes will follow a progressive rate structure, ranging from 5% to 35%. Full story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1361086-thailand-modifies-tax-rules-affecting-foreigners-and-foreign-income/ -

Which AC better 4 reliability, endurance, service:Daikin/Panasonic. Supporting evidence?
So, PLEASE, if I may, suggest that we get back to the gist of the Topic: We are considering a comparison between Panasonic, Daikin, and (Maybe) Hitachi. The type of AC will have the following general specs: Suggested Retail price: Approx Bt55,000 to Bt62,000 Capacity: approx BTU of 24,000 SEER: At or above 21 Low noise on indoor and outdoor unit Excellent Thermostat control of room temperature ============= If we look at the specs, Panasonic is probably one of the best, if not THE best. However, if Daikin offers better reliability, better manufacturing process control and QC, and better customer service, and better and faster tech support, then this is a CRUCIAL consideration in this hot climate. DOWNTIME is unacceptable. When a problem happens, and the AC stops working, then one requires IMMEDIATE AND EXCELLENT support. So, then, how to compare these two brands? Also, Panasonic's offering is usually discounted to about Bt.44,000. But, Daikin's AC, of this type, is rarely sold for less than about Bt.60,000, as far as I have seen, recently. ================== But, if Daikin offers excellent service, and great tech support, and much more reliability, then the price difference is totally insignificant. So, this is what we are wondering about, and why we began this TOPIC in the first place. We just want to know which machine to buy.....to be happy for at least 5 years, without the Hassle of the other brand....I think. The extra money we might pay for a Daikin machine might be worth it..IF...we can do away with the customer support problems of the other brand. I am NOT saying that there might be problems with the other brand. I am just posing a hypothetical, here.....you understand..... =================== And: IF I were able to take the Hitachi Machine, the Hitachi AC, for a test-drive....FIRST....then....I would probably buy Hitachi....DUE TO the great Hitachi support here in Thailand. -

Economy Thailand Plans 10-Year Tourist Visa and 99-Year Land Lease to Boost Economy
How about KISS...keep it simple stupid 1. First 60 days visa free for most nations 2. Extensions are $1 usd per day up to one year payable in advance online or at immigration. 3. Any problems like arrests/convictions/overstays visa is canceled ,offender deported, $ forfeited. Quick appeals to legal panel permitted but no dragging it out forever. 4. Depending on severity of crime etc blacklist for one year to life. Cleans up a lot of the current mess and also perhaps sends a message that crimes/violence /overstays will not be tolerated. Not perfect but neither is having more and more complicated schemes that require jumping through hoop after hoop, paying agents, visa runs, etc. Of course it would also put a lot of the immigration folks and agents out of jobs which might mean fewer rolex watches or villas in france for those who want it more complicated not less. -

Is covid a hoax
Amazing that pre-Covid BTS photos from just 2018 can be shown in a thread and people still perpetuate the lie.⬆️ Covid wasn’t entirely a hoax….it separated the honest people from the dishonest ones.- 1

Is covid a hoax
The majority of older taxi drivers I encounter still do not wear glasses. It likely explains why so many sit so far forward with their nose almost pressed up against the windscreen. Plenty of Thais wore masks before covid. Not as many as the Japanese, but it was quite common on trains and buses.
