Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
Ok, Ok, Ok, so going short time is not a good thing and cannot become a good thing by people thinking it so. So, I guess that leaves long time? -

Unplesant surprise for online order (iHerb), VAT/duty precollect
My strategy now is to buy on iHerb when items are on sale. I get emails from them frequently announcing sales. I wait for the Sitewide sales or sales of brands that I like. this double taxation is rampant in Thailand. Tax on service charges, tax on tax, etc. My laundry charges at the hotel include 7% included in the per-item charge, then the whole bill is taxed 7% by the hotel after a service charge is added. Incidentally, about two years ago, most of my shipments from iHerb were not taxed. Now the advance tax makes sure that all shipments are taxed no matter what the value of the shipment is. Now even items express shipped by my daughter from Washington are taxed even though the packages are not opened. I don’t know how they calculate the value. The tax that I paid recently was about 7% of the postage charge. Taxing is now pretty aggressive. Medicine shipped to me from India just is not delivered to me. I guess that it is seized by customs without notification to me. -

You're wrong, because it is your opinion and not a fact. And there is no right or wrong amongst consenting adults. So what you said is all wrong. -

Well, that's where you come in. A Farang in shiny armor ready to rescue a poor woman in exchange for sex. With another 1000 Indians and Arabs it does add up. -

Thaksin's Lese-Majeste Trial Set for July Next Year
Absolutely, this is an issue to be dealt with by Thai citizens. However, as a friend of Thailand I do have my public opinion. That opinion is that, this particular law has been purposely misused against political opponents. The recent call by the freely elected majority party's call for reforming the law was correct. Not an attack on the Monarchy but rather a call to return to the purpose of protecting the Monarchy. -

Government to Restrict Use of Digital Gadgets in Schools
The Education Ministry has voiced its intent to limit the use of digital gadgets in schools, sparked by worries over the negative effects on children's development. Education Minister, Pol Gen Permpoon Chidchob, mentioned research that suggests excessive use of smartphones and tablets can distract students and slow down their intellectual growth. This same strategy has been adopted across the globe, with some nations prohibiting students under 16 from using digital gadgets during school time. In Thailand, it has been found through research that children who engage with screens for more than six and a half hours daily tend to display lower IQs and shorter concentration spans. To tackle these problems, the Education Council Office has suggested an increase in outdoor activities, such as music classes and sports. They are also advocating for more reading and storytelling periods to increase children's ability to focus. Parents will be urged to spend more quality time with their kids to lessen their dependence on digital gadgets.

Donald Trump’s speech during Musk interview sparks health concerns
If Trump wins, you are going to get a 10% tariff on imported Chinese goods. Republicans used to be against tariffs. -

Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
I'm not assuming anything. I'm replying to others posts. They might be lying about everything they post but I'm only reacting to what they write. if it's lies why bother posting them? Your thinking that sex workers and clients are doing a good thing is wrong, and it isn't my opinion. Out of touch with reality with what evil there is in this world might be your shortcoming, as it is with many others who's heads are stuck in the sand. This world is a bad place in many ways because people think bad actions are okay as long as they benefit from them, and not caring what effect it has on their victims. -

Bob's Big Boy at MBK
Took the wife to MBK to get her passport renewed and decided to try the new Bob's Big Boy while I was there. Bob's Big Boys have been in Southern California for almost 100 years. Casual diner that specializes in burgers. I had the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger and a large order of fries. The burger was good and I thought the fries were great. Not a bad meal for <B300. Note: Contrary to Google maps, the shop is on the ground floor, not the fourth.
