Why is Trump Really Running for Office Again?
What is seditious conspiracy? It is a federal crime found in Section 2384 of Title 18 of the United States code. That law makes it a crime for two or more people to actively plot to overthrow by force the federal government, to levy war against it, to unlawfully seize federal property or “by force to prevent, hinder or delay the execution of any law of the United States.” -

Is the Tax compliance going to be linked to Visa issuance ?
Maybe, maybe not. Thailand has still a looooong way to go in term of Law enforcement. -

Thai Khmer - is it alive anywhere in South Isaan?
In my b/f's village - Khok Salaeng in Phanom Dong Rak part of sth Surin - the old folk speak mainly Khmer amongst themselves. My MIL (age c80) also speaks rural Thai. My PIL (age 78) speaks Thai with a heavy accent. Neither of them is literate in eother language. Their offspring of multiple marriages (ages 60 down to my b/f at 35) all speak both Khmer & Thai and swap back and forth in mid-conversation as they choose. They are mostly illiterate or semi-literate in Thai only. Their kids in turn understand Khmer but seldom speak it and often refuse to do so, subject as they are to heavy nationalist propaganda at school. Lao speakers are also common throughout south Surin but - if not in the towns - mostly live in separate neighbouring villages unless intermarried. -

New tarmac to Gong Hae (cycling)
I was just in Colorado for 2 months and when I got back I noticed new tarmac on the road to Hmong Village Gong Hae from Pong Yaeng. This is one of my cycling routes and the road has always been smashed up concrete, for at least 10 years I've been riding it and probably forever. Location here https://maps.app.goo.gl/UUs8GaNrjyCi15Mu8. The road into the village is still crap but there's a bypass around it with is new tarmac and I think they even did the road which comes out to the main road to Samoeng but it was raining yesterday and that road has some 20% grade curves that would be insanely dangerous if it's wet and tarmac. So now you can do tarmac on most of the road and only hit concrete on the bypass to Buak Chan and down the backside to the Samoeng/Hang Dong border. It's a great ride and so much more fun now to cruise up to Gong Hae. Note there's some more tourist stuff there's opening (WTF coffee) so it may get busy in the winter sadly.

20 Baht Store in Chiang Rai Accused of Price Gouging Amid Floods
If Thais can afford luxury and branded names items, why cry over these! Talk about reducing interest rate? This will encourage Thais to spend more and the so called house hold debt to spiral out of control. -

EXPAT TAXATION - Does anyone really know what's going on?
So, what will you post when others apply and are issued a TIN? Is the staff member they saw incorrect for issuing them a TIN, or the staff member you saw incorrect for not issuing you a TIN? TIT, but we will all get to see if a TIN is needed early next year. -

Is the Tax compliance going to be linked to Visa issuance ?
The safest person in this tax mess is the pensioner who has his pension remitted to Thailand every month, the TRD loves this guy because nothing is hidden, everything's in plain view and there are no open questions. The "carry cash on the plane", "my wife supports me" and, "I won it at the border casino, those guys are in for some pain at some point.- 1

Guys, they almost got away with memory-holing this!
None of this is true and all of it hyperbole although Harris is such a fraud im starting to actually loathe her. She was fine 4 years out if the limelight hidden away from saying anything. The electorate has never voted for her for anything. Yet, there she sits on her perch. -

Poll: Do you want Ukraine to WIN in the Russia-Ukraine war (it's a binary choice)
How about Ukrainians get to stop dying and start rebuilding what's left? Maybe they'll have the semblance of an economy in a few years. Push Putin too far, and he'll have to take Kiev. Scorched earth style. He's been fighting with kid gloves, in hopes of having peace and some kind of relationship with Ukraine when the dust settles. Poke the bear too much, kill Russkies far into Russia, and he'll have no choice but to go full Red Army- like 1945. How did that work out for the Germans? And that doesn't even address the possibility that some idiot on one side or the other will accidentally, or negligently spark off Armageddon.- 1

Is the Tax compliance going to be linked to Visa issuance ?
Seriously. One friend brought almost 100,000 US cash. At least, he got a certificate from customs. Another friend did exactly what yumthai said, always brought several thousand. Keepin it well hidden under his mattress and waiting for the baht to depreciate These people do exist. -

EXPAT TAXATION - Does anyone really know what's going on?
Obviously, it's early days. I've no doubt tax id will flow like wine when the proper channels open and bureaucrats told to stop making problems. I madeva tax id for work a decade ago. It was in bkk but not central. Took an hour. Zero problems -

I'm not saying I'm in this situation but I know many people mainly old chaps living from cash they bring in Thailand. They've never been questioned about the source of their money but it's off topic.- 1
