Best country for travel in Asia???
Vietnam is also my favorite country for visiting these days. After living there from 2015-2021, I moved back to Thailand when my job there ended (due to COVID). But I've already spent two months in Vietnam so far this year (a month in Da Lat and a month in Nha Trang), and I'm about to go back for another 90 days on the 90-day eVisa (which cost just $25). It has very friendly, welcoming people - and the hotels are great AND cheap. And transportation is also cheap and efficient. What more could one ask for? -

Shocking slump: Thailand’s premium EV sales plunge 35%
I'll give you a clue: Half a ton extra for the suspension, brakes and wheels to resist (potholes, braking distance, gravital force through bends (everything even worse in slippery conditions). -

Signs youve been here too long !
1. You put ice in your beer, even at home and indoors. 2. (related) you've tried all of the domestic and regional import beers and have your favorites solidly ranked into a fixed hierarchy. 3. (also related) you know the holidays and school day hours where alcohol sales are prohibited. And also where to find places that don't adhere to them. 4. You know how to cook several of your favorite Thai dishes, and where to shop to find the proper ingredients. 5. When in Phuket you know which aisles all your favorite items are located at your closest Super Cheap. 6. Your food pantry and fridge contain cans and bottles mostly devoid of your home country language on its labeling. And at least one of them is fish sauce. 7. You can ride a scooter in traffic through a roundabout without any change of speed, or any increase in heart rate or blood pressure. 8. You can tell the difference between 1 baht and 5 baht coins just by feeling them in your pocket. 9. You often buy full meals at 7-11 and even look forward to them. 10. Touts and scammers no longer bother even attempting to engage with you, even if they never saw you before (they just instinctively know you're immune). -

Paris Olympics: Officials play down Covid fears after water polo players test positive
2024 Paris Olympics hit by early COVID cases, but organizers don't seem worried by risk of major outbreak July 24, 2024 ... Given the pre-opening ceremony cases and the recent history at the Tour de France, the focus has turned sharply toward the fast-approaching Games. Some 10,500 athletes are due in the French capital, and organizers know that along with the spirit of sportsmanship, they bring with them the potential for a major outbreak in the Olympic Village, which will be home to more than 14,000 athletes and accompanying team members. But organizers appear relatively unfazed. "For now, nothing has been put into place by the organizing committee," André-Pierre Goubert, the director of Olympics and high performance sport at the National French Olympic and Sport Committee (CNOSF), recently told the French newspaper Le Monde. "We recommended that the delegations test their athletes before coming to the Olympic Village, using their own medical teams."

Diet experiment
That would take incredible drive and congrats. It isn't healthy and you are rolling the dice and with terrible possible consequences. Why so you do this to yourself? You do know these types of swings can cause major mental issues because of the lack of nutrients in the losing phase. Really - congrats with the weight loss but you need to figure out what is happening mentally that causes this unhealthy behavior. I would be scared of all the stretch marks but that isn't a health issue. -

Legal Strategies to Reduce Thai Tax
I would recommend that you set up your US based accounts so that you have documentation that all (or as much as is possible) of the transfers to Thailand are funded by SS benefits. Doing this should minimize the amount of your transfers that are assessable income subject to Thai income tax. If you are married to a Thai, the imposition of Thai PIT now makes extensions based on marriage much more attractive than before. -

Central Group, Thai banks initiate tourist QR payments
If possible, buy gold, even here in Thailand, small quantities. When the CBDC takes hold, there will be no stopping it and we can forget about cash too. Barter is going to be big again. Yes you can laugh about it now or dismiss it as nonsense, but that era is not far away.
