Is it just me or has the pick of WALZ by itself been enough to drive the Maga crowd over the edge? Most of you sound like lunatics on this thread. -

Using an overseas Debit Card to minimise paying tax for those of us staying over 180 days
Right now, I believe that the govt does have people reading the comments of folks on this forum and besides that Thai govt offices have probably already heard a lot of the same questions and responses of the tax agents locally too. Therefore, this being TIT I can imagine that sometime in the near future anyone staying in Thailand will need to obtain a Thai Tax ID number. Then when departing Thailand one will need a slip of paper stamped by the local RD that all necessary taxes have been paid prior to the IO stamping one out of the country or extending the stay of a possible Tax-resident. TIT so that means anything could happen or nothing could happening - we as expats will be the last to know for sure. -

American father reunites with Thai daughter after 48 years apart
A 72 year old American man, travelled across the globe to reunite with his Thai daughter after being separated for 48 years. With assistance from a friend with a Thai wife and a renowned hotel owner in Nang Rong, Buriram, the father and daughter finally met, embracing each other with tears of joy. Terry Howley, a 72 year old American man, and 49 year old Kanjana Milkewicz, from Yai Yam Watthana, Chaloem Phra Kiat district, Buriram, had been separated for nearly five decades. Despite the long separation, both father and daughter never gave up hope of finding each other. Modern technology and help from a friend with a Thai wife and a well-known hotel owner in Nang Rong enabled this emotional reunion. Upon meeting, both father and daughter were overwhelmed with emotions, crying and hugging each other tightly. Kanjana presented Terry with red roses and a garland of marigolds to express her love for her father. Kanjana shared that Terry, a former American GI, was stationed in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, 50 years ago during the Vietnam War. At that time, he met Kanjana’s mother, Supaporn, now 73 years old, who was pregnant by another American soldier who refused to acknowledge the child. Terry, however, took care of Supaporn during her pregnancy and continued to support her and Kanjana until she was one year old. Terry then returned to his home country, and Kanjana and her mother lost contact with him. As Kanjana grew older, she made numerous attempts to locate Terry, posting on social media to find him. She learned that Terry had also been searching for her and her mother. Daughter reunion In 2019, they finally reconnected through social media and kept in touch via Facebook. Terry had planned to visit Kanjana and her mother in Thailand in 2019, but the Covid-19 pandemic hindered his travel plans. He promised to visit once the situation improved. On July 31, Terry arrived in Thailand, intending to surprise Kanjana and her mother. He landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport and contacted his friend with a Thai wife to pick him up but they missed each other. Terry then took a bus to Buriram and a taxi to Nang Rong. However, he had difficulty communicating with the taxi driver, who eventually dropped him off at the Nang Rong Hotel to rest. The hotel staff helped Terry locate Kanjana by searching her name on Facebook, where they found her posts seeking her father. The hotel contacted Kanjana, who immediately rushed to the hotel to meet her father. Overwhelmed with joy, she expressed her disbelief at reuniting with Terry after 48 years. Although Terry is not her biological father, he has cared for her since birth, creating a strong bond between them. Terry plans to stay in Thailand until August 21 and will visit Kanjana’s mother at their home. If the opportunity arises, Kanjana hopes to visit Terry in the United States in the future. Tan Worachak, a staff member at Nang Rong Hotel, recounted that on August 4, a taxi brought a guest to the hotel who stayed for one night. The guest tried to communicate that he was searching for someone. Tan contacted the hotel owner, who spoke with the guest and learnt that he had travelled from the United States to find his long-lost daughter, reported Sanook. Tan expressed happiness in being part of the reunion, helping a father and daughter reconnect after so many years. by Bright Choomanee Picture courtesy of Sanook Source: The Thaiger2024-08-07 - Cigna offers a variety of health insurance plans designed to meet the minimum requirement for medical treatment coverage, with benefits reaching up to THB 3 million.

Ireland to Ban Balaclavas Amid Rising Anti-Immigration Protests
Must be a bunch of numpties in governments if they can't see that their immigration policies are not acceptable to the citizens of the country and when it all goes wrong try to use the full force of the law to keep implementing wrong policies. Hopefully the good citizens remember this when the elections come along. The way it's going is IMO guaranteed to get a hard right government elected. -

Top 10 troubles you will find during retirement in Thailand
Learning "the language" is important, I agree. But be careful that you don't learn in school one version of Thai, and then everybody near you speaks another version of Thai. I suggest if possible, try to communicate with the locals around you. And make sure you have someone, maybe a Thai language teacher, to tell you which words you should not use. With my first Thai girlfriend I learned a couple of Thai swear words. The only problem was that I was not aware that those words were not the kind of words one should use in a polite conversation. It's easy to pick up the "wrong" words. On the other hand, it is also not the best to speak super polite Thai all the time, because "normal" Thais might get the impression that you think you are better than them when you use those "hiso" words. It can go wrong in both directions. -

Camping in Thailand - Top 10 sites
If you are going to camp I recommend the cool season. In the hot season you won't sleep and in the wet season....rained out. There is even a well equiped Campground in Bangkok ( Bangkok Backyard ) on the edge of a lake with full ameneties. Looks ok and quite popular although probably not much cheaper than a hotel though. -

The Tim Walz thread.
Pfffft. There is the illusion of two separate visions which the screens you personally watch eventually program you to completely buy into. But do wake up - Both of those "visions" oppress and control the commoners. Self ownership without government interference? Please don't make me laugh. What planet do you live on - or - what Anarcho-Capitalist Austrian Economics Utopia do you believe you live in? It doesn't exist except as a fleeting idea that has no basis in existence. Lord - The most ignorant fools are the fools who are fooling themselves. -
