White Album: Best for staving-off blues on this white-less snow-free Christmas?
Dear Folks, I am not sure I have many great memories of Christmas. Still, whatever blessed memories of Christamas I might have retained, by age 70-plus, most involve snow. Here in Thailand, snow is unlikely, unless one takes it up the nose, which is not legal, of course, and also not advised, and completely unhealthy, too. Therefore, if one cannot have a White Christmas, then what might be the next best thing? I would say, it must be listening to the White Album on the day-after the big depressing blowout of Christmas, when most might be either hungover, or feeling the blues, having not received what they thought that they deserved. This is why I am sharing this YT link with you. When I was very young, listening to the White Album provided me with needed cheer, after our Christmas get-togethers, around the family hearth. I listen to this, religiously, once a year, just as others might read Dickens. Dickens, of course, is peerless. Haversham is eternal. So, I would say, the White Album is just about the best anodyne for post-Christmas blues. There is no better, unless it is the hair of the dog. By the way, what did Santa bring you this year? Hope it was not the clap…..555 Just joking, of course. If you really want to know… The problem with Christmas is the SUPER-HIGH expectations of the Christmas Holiday which…. Almost never come true. How could any mere mortal expect to reach these heights, on any given lifetime? Impossible. It would be like….. Trying to go from Stockholm to Uppsala in under 15 minutes.... Just not possible.....unless...... Best regards, And, unfortunately, it has not yet begun to snow here….. Not yet. Gamma -

War, Pro or Contra?
I was discussing yesterday about this, which is not only in Thailand but in almost every country. Most of the retired expats are too old and will not be bothered with the problem. But their children might face the situation where they are called to serve their country in a war. Suppose that WW3 would start, how likely are you going to serve "your country" or let your children be "canon meat" for your country. The people which I had the discussion with yesterday agreed unanymous that none of them would be willing to go to fight for a country that let them down for so many years. Your opinion? -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
interesting method of paying your dealers NETA Auto Thailand has poured into dealers, and has also paid incentives to dealers in the form of cars instead of money . https://www.thansettakij.com/motor/ev/615438 -

DTV visa extension
This is concerning. I’ve had a few METVs and no problems but moved to DTV now. On the other thread there is a video that shows the MFA consider the visa as just “initial screening” and IO get the final say on entry or extension. Would you mind sharing your history? - Do you just bounce in/out or have holidays? - Do you only go to low-cost neighbouring countries or trips to Singapore, Japan, Korea? - Do you go to and stay in home country? Sorry for the questions but I’m interested in possible reasons why IO would reject if you had a visa. -

Dutch tourist allegedly escapes bills and steals from many Phuket hotels
In my case it was a while before they brought in that ruling. Only prohibited under certain circumstances now I believe. Less than 30 day let's I think. -

Is it possible to have a UK Bank account while being tax resident in Thailand?
Yes, I made the "mistake" of letting on I was living out here. They were on to me in a flash. In the end no harm done as I found a legitimate and painless way of unfreezing it.
