Trump Too Scared To Debate Harris Again
the name of the person the posted the link is nothing to do with the content, if you had bothered to look you would have seen it was video clips of Trump & Harris at different speaking events, both being asked the same question by an audience member, there is a stark difference between both answers. 1 gave an answer, 1 avoided giving an answer. -

Expat Investment Advisors
In theory, portfolio bonds are for tax purposes, but in reality they are almost always used as very expensive trading platforms to hide large initial commissions paid to sellers. They have 5, 8 or 10 year initial charging periods with around 11% charges, paying 7% commission to sellers. I've never seen one set up as a trust, which also costs extra. If you want to surrender the plan within the initial charging period, you have to pay all the unpaid initial charges for the rest of the period as a penalty. One of the main problems with these are the sellers choosing the underlying investments which Thai SEC rules do not allow them to do without an investment management license. These sellers often don't have the experience, qualifications or knowledge to choose investments and are mainly selling them based on levels of hidden commission they receive, often 4%-5%. Underlying investments are sometimes unregulated and for professional investors only whereas nearly everyone they are selling to would be classed as a retail investor. There are much better and cost effective trading platforms available and firms available to manage investments in highly regulated areas, with no exit penalties. Insured regular savings plan as even more expensive, giving the seller the incentive to sell long terms which aren't of benefit to the client. This is because the longer the term they write, the higher commission they get for selling exactly the same plan. These have very low retention rates and limited investment options and are really hard to make money on. -

Burmese man condemned for preaching Christianity to Buddhist novices
I am surprised JW and this FallenGong or whatever you call it is allowed to proselytize in public parks in Thailand. I have asked one of the JW dudes, he holds a real job and is on a work visa, my guess is breaching the statutes of it -

Residence Certificate in Jomtien
This is the TM30. It's in the list of necessary documents. If you had your 90-day report notification, it's the TM47, which is not necessary.- 1

Surge in Small Boat Crossings as UK Government Faces Ongoing Channel Challenge
When I saw this headline I knew the tone of comments would be mostly from frothing bigots reacting in their oh so erudite ways. Hey you Farridge f*ckwits: here's some breaking news. The Channel crossers are in a miniscule minority of asylum seekers. Over 1 million asylum seekers arrived by air. Small boat crossing numbers are in the 10s of thousands of which 80% of asylum applications are successful. -

Doing work at wife farm!
Confused emotions rolling in 🤗, and still nobody have one case to prove I'm wrong. Not one clear official case where a foreigner have been arrested and deported, not even one case that went to court. That's strange considering how many foreigners doing maintenance on their wife's property -

Car paint/ding repair shop
Yes, this is the place I mentioned. Doesn't look like a fancy service center, but these guys are the real deal. Drive straight in and the lot opens open up on both sides with bays. -

Dental care (cavity): Thailand, Vietnam or Korea?
I'll run from your dentist for sure. I pay for quality work, rather than the cheapest.
