Religion in Thailand
While I would agree that Buddhism is a philosphy, Thai people also page homage to various gods. I doubt there is any expat here who hasn't been taken by Thai friends or family to a temple or shrine where instead of Buhda other statue images are laced with various 'gifts' or offerings. The Erawan Shrine in BKK is a good example where there is an image of Maha Brahma. Then there are the various 'gods' of the land, more often called spirits, which again I'm sure expats know about. Then there are the very ornate dancing spectacles that dipict the various gods and demons, such as the Khon, โขน. -

Australian tourists help collect rubbish on Koh Samui (video)
From what I have seen/heard, very few owners pay the garbage tax here on Samui. 'Old school' Thais burn their garbage. Lots of new villas are now owned by foreigners, the majority of them not paying the garbage tax. That is why the local Tessabaan removed all of the public garbage bins from the streets. No one was paying the tax. -

E-Sim cards to enable you to get text messages from the USA??
For SMS's from US verification, I bought an UltraMobile PayGo sim on eBay and had it sent to my friend in the USA. Before you can use it here in Thailand, it must be registered by putting in a phone in US and connecting to the mobile network there. I get SMS and inbound calls through my home WiFi network without further charge beyond the $3/month fee. I get 100 free SMS and 100 free minutes of calls to USA numbers per month. I moved my local Thai mobile service to an esim and the UltraMobile remains on the physical sim. -

Religion in Thailand
I think you will find that Thais do NOT spend MOST of their money on religion! -

How on earth do you Diet in Thailand ?
That tuna is okay but the ones I get back home are fantastic. Albacore in water in at least 4 brands. Chicken of the Sea, Wild Planet, Starkist are three. Here it's like the redder meat. Makro is where I first found celery. Now Lotus carries it but not all the time. Like the yellow peppers I get here that are good in salads. The best mushrooms are the really firm basic kinds, but here they haven't been firm and are better for soups. I couldn't find head lettuce unless I went to Makro also, but now Lotus has them most of the time. -

Several neighbouring countries compete with Thailand for foreign retirees
Yes. 911 is very relieable. I wonder what would happen if I dialed 112 in LOS. At least I think 112 is the emergency number in LOS. I get different answers depending on the day or time. This is one of the reasons I do not live on the 20th floor of a high rise in BKK. Currently I live on the 3rd floor. At least if jump at worst i get a few broken bones and a shot at surviving. I was in a hotel in BKK during quaratnine and there was a fire on in the elevator shaft and no one called anyone in their rooms. The smoke in the hallway was a clus and I broke quarantine and went down to the lobby. The hotel staff had the usual "I don't waht is going look". "TIT". -

Australian tourists help collect rubbish on Koh Samui (video)
I stayed at Lamai (just outside the town) for over 20 years, a couple of months a year. In a bungalow close to the beach. One day I heard some noise at the main road. I went to see, and there were a dozen guys all with the same T-shirts collecting the garbage and cleaning the side of the road. A politician was leading them. Pretty soon a minibus arrived with a camera crew. They started to film and interview the politician. After they finished filming the guys collecting the garbage, the camera crew left, .... Right after that, the politician called every body and they got into a minivan and left as well. It was all just for the cameras, ... nothing ever get done there. -

For those of you not keeping track, that was lie # 300,159,754,286. Fun fact: that is more lies than McDonald's has served hamburgers, Trump's food of choice. -

Birther this is your reminder today Yes racism is mostly undergone a huge redirection Mostly only deep rooted by family's sadded by failure The last sixty five years has seen the turn around and Americans have much to be proud of. The one sad part is that the remaining ones have undergone extensive reinforcement by MAGA -

Kennedy may drop out and support Trump
Kennedy likely told Trump he'll join his campaign but only as Trump's VP as JD has poisoned Trump's campaign.
