That which was never born is deathless. Is this "awareness"?
In the teachings of the Buddha, there are a number of high level elements. If I am incorrect in these, please advise me. That which was never born can never die (deathless). As our ego is an accumulation of conditioning over our life/lives, it is impermanent. Death is followed by endless cycles of re birth into future lives, driven by attachment to craving. The cycle of re birth continues, until one is awakened as a result of practice resulting in the quenching of craving. Is the process of deep meditation (awareness without thought) the path to becoming aware of the unconditioned or deathless state (this state already exists, but we are unaware of it)? If so, is this that which is common to the re born states? Is this that which "awakens"? If there is nothing beyond the cessation of re birth, isn't this annihilation, as at least re birth gives you future cycles of life, all be it, good ones as well as bad ones? Or, if pure unconditioned awareness is that which continues, why are we unaware of it during the unconscious state? -

What is the process for filing the evisa non o for a spouse?
OP, you have correct answer above. Two weeks is fine, however the visa once issued will have an enter date till date. That means enter any time in that 3 month window and you will be stamped in for 90 days. Personally I would book the flight and few (2-3weeks) prior apply for the non O visa. Be aware that you have a fall back option. If visa unsuccessful (won't be) you enter Thailand visa exempt. Use agent to obtain bank account and then you obtain non O at local immigration office with minimum 15 days remaining on exempt entry stamp. With visa exempt currently 60 days you have plenty of time for the process. -

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
To comply with CRS. Which is to deter and prevent tax avoidance / evasion. I didn't mention TIN's. But you are wrong again, a TIN is required if you have ' Assessable Income ' in Thailand. Which is not the same as ' Taxable Income ' I posted the thread in response to your previous ' No enforcement ' comment. As I said in response, best wait until summer at the earliest before making any comment on ' No enforcement ' Having had access to the CRS exchange information since 2023. Lets just say that I would not be surprised if the RD have already gone through it. Eliminated people who are exempt tax in Thailand due to DTA's and have a list of people that they expect to file a tax return between Jan - March 2025. Those that have not filed by 31 March, might just get a knock on the door. Last paragraph, is of course, speculation on my part. Although far from the realms of possibility. The sending out of documentation in November concerning FATCA / CRS by banks, is not something that happened bt accident or a coincidence. -

So the U.S. elected an autocrat -- what to expect next from a Hungarian perspective
How can it be conspiratorial when he denies knowing what project 2025 is, and then the first thing he do, is to hire them for key roles in his stab? You guys lives in denial, This is nothing about leftism, it is about what he do or not do, and what he says and not say. Everything you guys have for defence, is leftism, and it is kind of making the whole debate stupid, and more stupid -

The new bus numbers
(Actually, they are not so new anymore. But I managed to avoid them until now) What ViaBus calls "38/3-8", that's what ordinary people call "bus 38"? The sign on the bus may read "38", or "3-8", or both? What Google calls "3-11/48", that's what ordinary people call "bus 48"? The sign on the bus may read "48", or "3-11", or both ? Am I correct? (I just guess) If ViaBus and Google don't agree, which one is probably right? BTW Google recommends walking on the water of our local Khlong for about 1 km (that's not even a shortcut) - do they mean wading (it's only 2-3m deep) or swimming? -

Love or Lust? What Are Foreigners Looking for in Thailand’s Nightlife?
The scene you are referring to is dying. The future is woke-ism. It's primary interest is being seen, on display and attention, more then sex and relationships.
