Must Read Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
So are you saying Thailand pulled a scam with the LTR visa like they did with the Elite visa?............ Like the Elite had perfect timing for dramatically raising the price....But you got the old price if you renewed in the few months before the soon to be announced income tax plan.......lol............( they had the Elite visa renewal timed almost to the day of the income tax announcement) I am sure they already knew about the world wide income tax when they were punishing the LTR visa too.......Sooooooooooo scam or not? -

Latest carmaker to scale back its EV ambitions amid slowing sales
Possibility of acquiring the highly anticipated title of "Thailand origin" For Chinese EV companies to extend their exports beyond the Thai domestic market, leveraging FTAs is crucial, which necessitates meeting a "40% local content" requirement. This is likely to depend on the degree of localisation of battery production, which is estimated to account for one-third of a vehicle's price, and the extent to which Thailand's industrial clusters are utilised. However, in the early stages of production, most of the parts will be imported from China, and it will be difficult to meet these requirements. If the "40% local content" requirement cannot be met, the majority of BEVs produced in Thailand will remain in the domestic market. If there is an oversupply, the entire market will be affected if discount sales become rampant, similar to what happened in China. If a Chinese car meets the 40% local content requirement and is certified as originating from Thailand, it will be exported within and outside the ASEAN region through the ASEAN FTA network. This will lead to direct competition between automobile companies in destination countries and Chinese cars originating in Thailand. In any case, the Asian automotive industry is undergoing a major transition. https://www.thinkchina.sg/economy/made-thailand-chinese-evs-could-fill-auto-market -

How on earth do you Diet in Thailand ?
I wouldn't assume a restaurant has any better standards. My Thai girl said the Thais have a saying, something about don't worry about what the kitchen looks like or you'd never eat anything. Mostly I've been ok in Thailand but Cambodia was another matter altogether -

Well, it seems that Thailand is no farang's new country, ever. -

after reading that my feelings for Thais have definitely changed. It was bad enough with the higher costs for farangs to visit parks, etc, then the tax scheme and a possible even greater scheme - but this takes the cake. Seems everyone with any power or connection to power here is coming up with more and more ways to soak the expats here. -

Until the end of the decade everyone will lose his job to AI, no matter what degrees you hold. Better learn to relax on Krabi beaches. -

Thai man condemned for using free cafe WiFi to watch porn - video
Personally, I think we went down a slippery slope when we started to criminalise behaviour that does not cause actual harm. Like I said, it has been this way for a long time, even among males a prolonged stare could be construed as "threatening behaviour" and thus technically common assault. However, this guy in Berkshire, if he spent half a year in prison for looking at this woman, he is sure to come out hating women even more. He had issues to start with most likely, but incarceration for looking, he's bound to feel aggrieved and may come out worse than before. You're right of course that it would be very rare for a woman to invoke this law about staring, I was thinking more about the second scenario you mention, if someone maliciously wanted to bring a prosecution then it would be an evidential matter. If she can bring 2 or 4 friends who give witness statements it would be impossible for the man to prove he's innocent and the look never happened or was of "normal" duration. But it is fairly academic, neither of the above cases would happen a lot. With this Thai man, if he had looked at my family I may have started feeling uncomfortable, sure, was it antisocial, sure. But should he spend half a year in prison? I would say no. If no actual harm was done, I find hard to justify depriving anyone of liberty and proceed to a custodial sentence, if he did not cause actual harm. I know there are good arguments for ciriminal offences where no harm is done, the shouting fire in a crowded cinema argument, but it really is a slippery slope. It's a good thing most women are unware how easy it is to get a man thrown in prison. -

I really don't trust Bertolli, olive oil for Americans... but I may be wrong. About coconut oil vs olive oil Dr Berg quotes a study from Ramathibodi. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8148021/ "Replacement of PUFAs with coconut oil significantly increased HDL-c and total cholesterol –by 2.27 (0.93–3.6) mg/dL and 5.88 (0.21–11.55) mg/dL, respectively—but not LDL-c." (PUFA polyunsaturated fatty acids, as in olive oil or canola oil; HDL-cholesterol good, LDL-cholesterol bad) I am not surprised that a study from Thailand doesn't see a problem with coconut oil. I would equally not be surprised if a study from Canada founds lots of advantages of canola oil.
