Is Obesity a Very Serious Problem?
As I’ve been in Vietnam for the last couple months, I have admittedly eaten more carbs (baguettes mostly). Usually I’m around 80kg. Most of the current additional weight is water weight. I just know for myself that I generally feel much better on a low carb diet. As I mentioned in a previous post, I think that strict zero carb can be too dehydrating so what works best for me is to stay mostly carnivore (beef butter salt water) but have about a half cup of blueberries before bedtime. Any more than that and inflammation comes creeping in (sinus, skin and joints). -

Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
Geez, the poor guy admitted he knew his current non remittance situation had no tax implications. But, he wanted to know, per DTA, what he might expect IF and WHEN Thailand goes to world wide taxation. And, yes, that DTA will still be valid. What's wrong with preparing for potential occurrences .......? Gosh darn, he might even use a spreadsheet with any and all new found information... -

93 Dead, 575 Injured in Two Days of New Year Road Crashes
A total of 93 fatalities and 575 injuries have been reported across Thailand over the first two days of the New Year’s holiday period, according to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM). At a press briefing held at 10:30 on 29 December, Chakri Bamrungwong, Inspector-General of the Ministry of Transport, outlined statistics from the national campaign to reduce road crashes during the New Year festivities. On 28 December, the second day of the 10-day safety campaign, there were 269 road crashes resulting in 257 injuries and 38 deaths. The primary cause of accidents was speeding, accounting for 38.29% of incidents, followed by poor visibility (21.56%) and sudden lane changes (19.33%). Motorcycles were involved in 85.4% of accidents, with straight roads accounting for 86.25% of all incidents. Highways saw the most accidents (44.98%), followed by roads in villages and subdistricts (28.25%). Most crashes occurred between 18:01 and 19:00. The majority of victims were aged 40-49, comprising 15.93% of those killed or injured. Authorities have set up 1,770 main checkpoints nationwide, staffed by over 50,000 personnel. Ayutthaya and Chiang Rai provinces reported the highest number of crashes (13 each) on 28 December, while Chiang Rai recorded the most injuries (13). Phang Nga and Nong Bua Lamphu provinces had the highest death toll, with three fatalities each. Over the first two days of the campaign (27-28 December), there have been 592 accidents, 575 injuries, and 93 deaths. Ayutthaya recorded the highest cumulative number of accidents (27) and injuries (24), while Nakhon Si Thammarat had the most fatalities (5). With millions of people travelling over the holiday period, authorities are emphasising strict enforcement of traffic laws, particularly speed limits. Public transport drivers are under increased scrutiny, with checks on their working hours, alcohol consumption, and rest periods at service points. Special attention is being given to crash-prone areas, such as railway crossings, intersections, and roadside parking zones. Additional checkpoints and inspections have been implemented to address driver fatigue, especially on long, straight routes. To further enhance safety, the Ministry of Transport has activated its Traffic Safety Operations Centre, integrating data from 454 CCTV cameras across eight agencies to monitor traffic conditions. Violations, such as speeding or extended driving hours, are flagged to the Department of Land Transport for immediate action. Local authorities, police, military, and volunteers are working together to operate checkpoints, community patrols, and service stations. Efforts include awareness campaigns to discourage dangerous behaviours such as drink-driving, speeding, and neglecting safety equipment. Despite these efforts, the high number of fatalities and injuries underscores the need for ongoing vigilance and stricter measures to ensure safer travel during the holiday season.
