Anutin Orders Stricter Measures to Curb Burning and Reduce PM 2.5
There's an organisation, ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) that is perfectly suited to driving progress on pollution from the top down. It isn't only Thailand and Cambodia poisoning the air we breathe and only a concerted effort by all will move the dial. * Agree on action to begin to bring air pollution levels down * Legislate provincial laws with penalties for failing * Educate farmers on best practices and subsidise them to modernise practices and equipment * Legislate vehicle emission standards and police drivers/owners with strict financial penalties * Assist with incentives to speed the transition to EV transport. Of course there is much more - for example the tourism industries should be pressuring governments to reduce pollution before tourists choose cleaner air and destinations. Periodic directives won't cut it. What will it take to have government leaders to act in the best interests of other than their own? -

Russia's Rapid Rearmament Sparks NATO Concerns Amid Potential Threat
The Brotherhood pipeline is now shut, by Ukraine. That is the last pipeline to Europe. The graph shows what sales have been made before and after the invasion. -

Thai Tax Laws for Expats: the Practical Implications versus the Realities
A very large part of the discussion and angst about this issue has been precisely the question of who actually has to file a tax return, what information would be included on it, and how to account for income that is not taxable in Thailand due to DTAs, LTR status, etc. - so I'm afraid it's not nearly as straightforward as you say. -

Anutin Orders Stricter Measures to Curb Burning and Reduce PM 2.5
Let us get practical. My problem last week was that I had a 10-meter tree fall. This makes a lot of mess and leaves branches and a trunk, you don't want. A year ago I had 6 large trees cut down the workers took the trunks and large branches away. About 7 truckloads. They were supposed to clear the garden of all the smaller debris, as that was the deal, they got the wood free. They never came back, very normal with rural workers. What are you supposed to do with all this put it out for the garbage collectors? Many people will put rubbish in their trucks, drive down the nearest dirt road, set fire to it, or just dump it. In my village, there are small fires outside houses every day, collectively making a large area of burning matter. I put my bottles, cans, and any metal in a large bin bag, put it out on the side of the road, and it was gone within an hour and recycled. In England, I had a large plot and had to cut and clear trees, which you can remove and take to the local refuse and reclaiming facility. This is what is needed here. But maybe this is too hard technically for the government at the moment or maybe there’s no money in it for them. -

In bank requirement for Marriage extension
I was looking at one of the Thai Immigration sites and saw that 500k was required in the bank for an extension of stay. Did they raise the amount from 400k? https://www.immigration.go.th/?p=14695
