Do you dare describe Thailand and your home country in one word?!?

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
The average Thai has never filed a tax form in their lives. They'd have to build concentration camps to imprison all of the Thai citizens who don't file taxes. If they want to push it they can take the 2K THB out of the withheld interest income that they'll be refunding to me. Back when banks actually paid more interest than they do now, I used to file every couple of years. My wife would do the leg work and I'd give her the refunded withholding. Wife wanted me to file to get the money. Since banks pay peanuts in interest, I simply haven't gone through the motions. Nobody at the tax office said "peep" about un-filed taxes especially considering they were paying me. I used to file taxes when I worked here. I haven't worked in 14 years. They are going to have to throw 75% of the Thai population in prison for failure to file taxes before they get around to farangs. -

Thaksin Shinawatra Covered His Entire 6-Month Hospital Cost
To think that this is the guy whose 'war on drugs' when he was in office resulted in more than 2000 deaths the majority of which were entirely innocent. He should have been locked up for life years ago. -

Mike Johnson Moves to bar transgender women from using women’s bathrooms at the Capitol
I guess when you’re simple, simple concepts are all you can fixate on, even when they are wrong scientifically, factually and morally. Maybe you should come out of the closet a bit, I mean it’s not like anyone in here will know give it a try, you might like it and you can sort out the rest of your feelings from there… -

Incorrect. It’s what Drag Queens perform in children’s classrooms. -

The Decline of Free Speech: How the UK Became a Third-Class Nation
No, you cannot say what you want if you are in the UK. Lucy Connolly mistakenly thought she had free speech in the UK and is currently serving a 31 month jail sentence for saying what she wanted to on facebook. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3wkzgpjxvo -

CAR RENTAL TRAP
HI TO ALL. Recently rented a car from ASAP rentals. Normal procedure at front desk, gave the car a once over and checked the fuel gauge, all ok. After leaving the airport and driving a few Klms I noticed a very small stone chip in the front windscreen. At that stage was not to concerned, however, on the return however, things took a change. We dropped the car back with full fuel tank and no damage. The ASAP member inspected the car and gave the green light, he did not mark the sheet with any damage and circled the fuel tab as full and then I asked him to sign the document, which he did, only after I prompted him. He did not offer a copy at that stage. The plot thickens, after about 15 mins my wife gets a phone call from ASAP rentals asking if we had insurance for the hire car as there was damage to the front windscreen. Luckily we had not check in for our flight, and headed back to the rental desk. The young girl get asking for insurance to cover the damage, I told her the we do have insurancs, however would not be paying as the paper had been signed off by the staff as all good. I asked for a copy of the return sheet and then showed her the car was cleared of any defects. She was not impressed that I challenged her. I told her I was happy to call my lawyer to talk to her, she declined and said ok you can go. The excess money was retured to my card 2 days later. This was a borderline scam, as the guy checking the car was hoping that I would just accept his word that all was good walk away, then when it was too late in the day and we had flown out, they would find damage somewhere and try to scam you out of money. I think the guy was trying to cover up his mistake. 1. Check every square inch of the car. 2.Take pictures of the car defects before driving off. 3. Make sure the return slip is signed off and you get a hard or digital copy. Good luck.
