Pregnant Whale Found Dead on Phuket Beach, Suffocated by Rubbish
Another victim of the human race, and a complete disregard for the planet. Sure, lots of trash from all over SE Asia, but despite the ever increasing instance of things like this all over Phuket, Thailand continues to bumble along with complete disregard for trash management. Officials have nothing but lame ideas and photo ops at beach clean-ups to make it look like they care, but there remains no effective waste management ethos, and Thais of all ages have no problems bringing food and toys to the beach, and leaving the trash behind for someone else to deal with. Same with fishermen...no respect or appreciation for the very thing that sustains them. Some things will never change. -

Who said you bank/s aren't passing on your information to governments. Expats be advised !
In 2013 they introduced something called the 'Statutory Residence Test' in the UK so if you're not there for at least a certain number of days every year for 3 years in a row then you are automatically a non resident for tax - there is no choice involved. Do you have enough days per year over 3 years - if you don't then you're out of the system automatically - it's been this way for more than 10 years now? -

Swiss man in Phuket acquitted of assaulting doctor
Perhaps you are correct.. He was also facing allegations for illegally obtained properties if i recall. I wonder if that as well as his immigration problems also got acquitted? -

Thailand Visa Exemption (60 days) and Visa On Arrival (VOA) (15 days)
No, you cannot do indefinitely border runs on tourist exempt. If the immigration officer see that you misuse a visa exempt to stay a long time in Thailand, he can deny you entry, and he will then tell you to get a real visa if you want to stay long time in Thailand. It is not so secret, it has been mentioned time and again in here. As mentioned above, the immigration officer can deny you entry. If you arrive by air, the airline will then have to fly you back on their expense. They do not want that; thus, to minimize their risk, they want to see that you have a ticket out of Thailand before the visa exempt expire. -

Do you still see girls in bars which you would consider as girlfriend/wife?
For your type, 100% agree. Not the case for many men here. Even for them I think their odds of finding a good match is better outside of the bars that exist today (nothing like 25-30 years ago). I haven't been to bars in many years but there were always plenty of women that were only mild drinkers and never drunk. Every bar had the annoying drunk girls and many men gravitate towards them. That high pitched inauthentic laugh can be annoying. Think the OP is missing bygone times and knows finding a good women in a bar would be nearly impossible. -

Thai wife applying for UK spouse visa but has a job she’s quitting
I said "Embassy" as I assumed it was where she got the visitor's visa from, I didn't ask her too many questions as she got the visa with no problems. I remember at the time she said she went to BKK (from Phuket) to get the visa two days before she was due to fly. -

"Any foreign national who has a work permit in Thailand may now, work anywhere, for anyone"
A few years ago there was a news saying that "Any foreign national who has a work permit in Thailand may now, work anywhere, for anyone" Does anyone have experience and knowledge about this? I also haven't found any information that this change also applies to those working in BOI companies? https://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-law-royal-decree-blows-work-permits-wide-open-68051.php#0ukr0wlsRI6tIoQk.99 -

Tories Neglected the Far-Right Leading to a Summer of Unrest
Plenty of examples in the reports of far right rioters and agitators that have been convicted for hate crimes. Here’s one for you: “Lucy Connolly tweeted about hotels housing asylum seekers on the same day three girls were fatally stabbed at a dance class in Southport. She said on X: “Mass deportation now, set fire to all the <deleted> hotels full of the bastards for all I care … If that makes me racist, so be it.”” https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/sep/02/childminder-lucy-connolly-married-to-tory-councillor-pleads-guilty-to-stirring-up-racial-hatred-hotels-asylum-seekers -

Polling errors
Complete conspiracy B.S. as usual. The same polls have been showing a Trump win against Biden for months, and MAGA posters such as Ilisdean have been proudly posting each and every poll result on this forum! 😀 -

When you hand your condo back
Doesn't matter high end or not. It is the Agent doing it all.. I had the owner of a condo try to pull this on me. they kept all the deposit, but when asked for receipts to show where my deposit went, they blocked my Line and phone number. Explain to the Agent you want receipts to show an accountability for the work he is saying you pay. Not hand written notes because he can do that himself. Printed or company receipts. You can see what he paid then and decide to fight for the deposit later. It will not be easy but there is an agency that can do the paperwork for renters. Google about it to learn more. -

My girlfriend (52) has a couple of nieces that just turned 20 and 21. Might give them a go. -

Swiss man in Phuket acquitted of assaulting doctor
A sensible, balanced and just verdict from the Thai court. Well done to the judge for not letting the media circus surrounding this case pressure the court into an unjust decision. Even more welcome as it will rile up the clowns on here that thought he should be hung, drawn and quartered for his alleged crimes. -

I just checked it a little while ago and it was a bit below 19.
