Kemi Badenoch on Immigration: 'Not All Cultures Are Equal'
If anyone wants to immigrate to a country, and not just live there as most farangs in Thailand do, they should be prepared to become part of the community they join. The community should not have to accept their culture, whatever it is. If they ain't prepared to do that, they should not be allowed to become citizens. -

Your Two Months Rental Deposit
wrong.. Thai law says that not more than one months rent can be charged for damage deposit. Also wrong. The amount of deposit is dependent on the renter but, only one months rent can be placed for damage deposit. The other is for last month or first month rent. If the contract is different from this then the renter has issued an illegal contract and can be fought and won by the renter. I spent months with government agencies and the police over thai laws and the contract issued to me. How much have you checked? If they charge 2 months advanced deposit. It must be broken down to first or last month rent and damage deposit. -

Destination Thailand Visa Sparks Interest, Faces Future Hurdles
But like when and where you apply for extension, the requirements are not the same. Let the Immigration offices make up their own rules and how thick the brown envelope carries the faster and longer approvals. -

Trump Watches
Obviously I can’t speak for the quality of the watches, but yeah, they’re definitely not the best watches in the world. But then again, why does anything he says surprise you? He’s a massive gasbag! There’s a lot more that goes into making a watch then the items that you’ve listed. Designing a watch usually takes at least a year and the people involved expect a paycheck. Then you have to have a plant that can make the watches and they have overhead costs as well, lighting, electricity, insurance, staff, telephone, internet, taxes and all the rest of it. It’s not just the sum of the parts and the actual labor. If you don’t have your own plant then you have to outsource it to someone, which will add even more to the price because they want to makes penny as well. in regards to the pricing, yeah definitely overpriced, but that’s pretty much true for every luxury watch brand with a few exceptions, like A. Lange & Söhne for example. Take Rolex for example, and they’re by no means the worst when it comes to overpricing, they sell their watches for 55% of the retail price to their authorized dealers. That means your 10K Rolex is really only a 3K watch to Rolex in terms of what it costs them to manufacture that watch. The epitome of overpricing is Richard Mille, though. I wouldn’t even wear one of those to go take a <deleted> in the woods. All hype and no substance and their ooohhhhh so fancy case design sucks when it comes to water resistance. That’s why you have to send it in to get the gaskets changed every 18 months. Will they tell you that when you fork out hundreds of thousands of dollars? Of course not, but they’ll gladly tell you that it’s in the manual that comes with the watch when you bring it in after water entered the case and you want to get it repaired under warranty, which they won’t do because you didn’t get the gaskets changed! Who reads the manual of a simple three-hander anyway?! Absolutely pathetic! One of the watches I own is a 2008 Seiko SKX. Never had any gaskets changed and it’s still waterproof after 17 years! The bottom line is, every authorized dealer will overcharge you! , -

Baht strength - How long?
Measured against other currencies can be confusing in terms of sustainable living. COLA adjustments to annual income US Social Security has averaged about 2.6% over the past 20 years; it even remained stagnant (0.0%) in 2010, 2011 and 2016. Then 8.7% in 2023, 3.2% adjustment in 2024 and expected 2.56% for 2025. Compared to Thailand's lower inflation rates, US retirement in Thailand based on Social Security benefits in recent years appears generally advantageous. More so for US federal pensions based on the Civil Service Retirement System Civil that is adjusted annualy based on US Social Security COLA. To quote Alfred E. Neuman: "What, me worry?" -
