What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
I watched The Killer, a French remake of the Hong Kong movie made way back in 1989 that starred the legendary Chow Yun-Fat. The remake is directed by John Woo, the same director of the original. Woo made a name for himself with his ultra-violent Hong Kong gangster flicks and then came to Hollywood where he made a few films (including a Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise) with mixed success. His style never really meshed with Hollywood. Woo is in his 70's now and it's hard to see the rationale for the remake but despite its flaws, I enjoyed it. The Chow Yun-Fat role of the assassin has been changed to woman (Nathalie Emmanuel). Some of the acting is clunky, the script has holes, and it's not realistic but it is high octane, the fight scenes are smoothly choreographed and it's the type of film, to use a cliche, that they just don't make anymore. -

Police "red box" program
Paid 1000bht/month for about three years. The frequency of the visits was once per day, but this slowly declined to once or twice per month. Complained but no improvement, so stopped paying. Saves 1000/ month and the service is still the same, and no one complained about the loss. My argument is, why pay them twice for a service they get paid for, by the government? -

Canada Implements 100% Tariff on China-Made Electric Vehicles
Paywall article. Yes, there are plenty of such articles spreading propaganda about China’s debt trap myth. At the same time, there are also plenty of articles debunking it. It’s a matter of which narrative you prefer. In a matter of a few decades, China has brought growth and prosperity to many poor nations around the world, something that western colonial rule hasn’t been able to achieve in hundreds of years. -

How to remove bitumen / tar from car?
The tar removers sold on Lazada are not effective. As suggested above petrol works well as it contains a high percentage of toluene. Neat toluene works better but is expensive. You will need to get the car polished afterwards. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Individual audits should happen but anecdotal compare to the number of tax residents, surely triggered by denunciation of suspicious and significant amounts of money movements. I've personally never heard about Thai or foreign resident being individually tax audited. -

Outrage over Luxury Car Owner’s Littering on Chonburi Bridge
Social media users are fuming after a viral video revealed a woman driving a luxury car dumping rubbish into the sea from the Cholamarkwithi Bridge, a notable tourist landmark in Chonburi Province. The video, captured by a dashboard camera and shared by the “Chonburi News” Facebook page, features a woman in her 40s or 50s stepping out of a black Mercedes onto the bridge. Ignoring a nearby bin, she casually throws a ball-sized garbage bag into the water. The post's caption noted the trash bin being just 20 meters away, critiquing her apparent love for her car but not the environment. The footage has ignited public outrage, with many social media users condemning the woman's blatant disregard for environmental preservation. The car's license plate is clearly visible in the video, prompting calls for the authorities to take legal action, reported Pattaya Mail. In response, local reporters visited the scene, confirming the location is near a dim sum restaurant on the bridge. They noted the proximity of a trash can, situated within 20 meters of where the woman discarded the garbage. Mr. Ek, a local vendor selling drinks on the bridge, mentioned that this kind of littering is unfortunately common. He frequently sees both tourists and residents carelessly dumping rubbish into the sea, especially after social gatherings on the bridge. “This kind of behaviour not only tarnishes our environment but also affects the marine ecosystem and ruins the seawater’s quality,” Mr. Ek commented. Wittaya Khunpluem, President of the Chonburi Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO), urged both locals and tourists to adhere to proper waste disposal practices. He highlighted the significance of the Cholamarkwithi Bridge as both a tourist spot and a crucial traffic route. In a bid to prevent such incidents, the PAO plans to coordinate with Chonburi Municipality to increase the number of trash disposal points. As for the offending driver, the Chonburi PAO will refer the matter to the Bang Sai Subdistrict Municipality for potential legal action under the Public Cleanliness Act. -- 2024-08-30 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -
