Can anyone explain to me why there are cannabis shops everywhere?
I was surprised to see that Pattaya has turned into some sort of cannabis heaven , but I can't see many customers inside, most of them looks empty? There must be hundreds of them in the city centre alone. How can it be profitable? Most of the local Thais can't afford it . There are now more cannabis shops than 7-elevens. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
If I just do an AI search [perplexity.ai], I just don't see the numbers add up for TRD to expect a good catch from expats with a retirement visa. - retirement visa: 35,846 - Elite visa: 20,884 [mostly Chinese] - Smart visa: 2,170 - LTR visa: 7k [exempted] - DTV: new - B visa: no numbers, but assume they already are in the tax net Of above group, I see only the expats with a retirement visa of which a percentage are either not aware of remittance taxation or for convenience sake have their pension remitted monthly directly into their Thai bank account. Looking at the larger groups: UK: 9,940, median income: 14k GBP with big regional variations[ Wales vs London/South East], including state pension Germany: 8,000, median: 19k euro, but male average is 25k euro, including state pension US: 5,170, median: 18k USD for male, excluding social security, which is DTA exempted In many DTA's state and private pensions are taxable in Thailand. Only government pensions are exempted. But looking at median figures above, even for the male population [as the female pension income is much lower], 25k euro amounts to less than 900k baht gross taxable income . -

Frenchman loses 6,000 euros to foreign sex worker in Phuket
Whenever I've seen ladies of the night in western countries, usually on TV, I hasten to add, they look as rough as ...... In contrast, many of the Thai 'ladies of easy virtue' tend to scrub-up quite well😝 -

The Scientists and Spies Who Questioned Covid’s Origins
Oh ya... really great folks behind BiosafetyNow: ‘Lab-leak’ proponents at Rutgers accused of defaming and intimidating COVID-19 origin researchers Letter by 12 COVID-19 scientists says social media attacks violate university policy and could incite physical harm "Fraudsters. Liars. Perjurers. Felons. Grifters. Stooges. Imbeciles. Murderers. When it comes to describing scientists whose peer-reviewed studies suggest the COVID-19 virus made a natural jump from animals to humans, molecular biologist Richard Ebright and microbiologist Bryce Nickels have used some very harsh language. On X (formerly Twitter), where the two scientists from Rutgers University are a constant presence, they have even compared fellow researchers to Nazi war criminals and the genocidal Cambodian dictator Pol Pot. But now, their targets have had enough. A dozen scientists filed a formal complaint with Rutgers yesterday alleging that the two faculty members have violated the university’s policies on free expression by posting “provably false” comments that are often defamatory, and that some of their actions could even threaten scientists’ safety. “It’s just a very clear daily harassment campaign directed at people that they disagree with. And I don’t think that’s right,” says letter organizer Kristian Andersen, an evolutionary biologist at Scripps Research who has co-authored papers in Science that link the origin of the pandemic to wildlife sold at a market in Wuhan, China. He and his colleagues also worry Ebright and Nickels are “engaging with the more extreme right,” including one person who has joked about executing some researchers."
