Recommendations of a quality Slow Cooker
Otto SC-207 with 3.5 litre capacity and clay pot. The larger version has already been mentioned. Around 350 & 500 baht respectively. For two people, the smaller option is enough, unless you want to fill your freezer. -

Why is Trump Really Running for Office Again?
Again, nothing came directly from COVID. It was the response to COVID. What is a fairer percentage? So how much will you have to "tax the rich" to where they buy less milk, bread, eggs and gasoline? Really? Do you think the corporations are going to just take the hit and not pass the cost on to consumers? You seem like one of the few honest brokers here. Re-read what you posted and think about it. Pay down the debt, that's hilarious. And why do you assume tax revenues will go up with the increased rates? Do you really think that the lawyers working for the IRS are smarted than the lawyers working for the Fortune 500? The Trump tax cuts benefited about 95% of taxpayers, and after the Trump tax cuts, tax revenue went up. -

Thailand Mourns Loss of Carabao Rock Legend Ko Carabao
Asking people to cite sources in an internet argument such a pointless tactic for several reasons. Your motivation is basically sealioning just being awkward….– you want to disagree but don’t have an argument yourself. You are the kind who cherry-picks anyway, you choose sources and information that confirm their pre-existing beliefs (confirmation bias). Even if I provided a credible source, you would reject it because it doesn’t align with your worldview or because you only trust sources that align with your personal (anecdotal) views. People like you use the excuse that there’s a vast amount of misinformation online , to dismiss legitimate sources as biased or untrustworthy, especially if those sources are from mainstream media or a source the person distrusts or disagree with you. You will even bring up false equivalencies, and try to present unreliable or fringe sources as equally credible. You get emotionally charged with those who present information you are unfamiliar with or didn’t expect as you look on debate as like a football match – you think that “winning” the argument is a thing rather than in discovering the truth. Even if solid evidence is presented, you will only double down on their position rather than admit they are wrong. And a long trail of ridiculous arguments follows. On a thread like this and in depth academic discussion is not possible. People will often skim over detailed arguments, sources, or studies. So even when cited, sources may not be carefully read, or in your case, their conclusions might be deliberately misinterpreted to support your preconceived notions. You may or may not appreciate that properly citing sources requires time and effort, which I am unwilling to invest in a casual online conversation like this. As it his leads to a shallow exchange of information, with yourself unwilling to engage deeply with the evidence presented. Basically you are attempting to engage in a "bad faith" argument, where you aren’t genuinely seeking truth or understanding but are instead aiming to troll, provoke, or distract – (i.e. Sealioning). In these cases, citing sources does little to advance the conversation. In summary, while citing sources can be useful in scholarly or serious discussions, with you, it is not the case - it just won’t translate well into a coherent argument as it would be clouded by your emotional investment, biases, and lack of genuine engagement undermine the effectiveness of this tactic or even understanding how to truly use citations. -

Lao borders (some at least) now requiring overnight stay?
I have a Multi Entry Non Immigrant O visa and just used the Chiang Saen crossing to get another 90 days. First I was told by Thai Immigration that I had to spend the night in Laos but then he saw my visa. With the visa I didn’t have to spend time in Laos, just got stamped in, stamped out and back to Thailand for another 90 days. As I was leaving I saw some guy without a visa and he told me they were going to require him to spend the night there so he didn’t go. Boat to Laos is 70 baht each way. The boats need to have 3 or 4 people before they leave and it might take a while now as fewer people are doing their runs here, and if you’re waiting for a boat and another boat drops off passengers but you’re the only one waiting for a boat they will leave empty. Lao visa is $40 US or 2000 baht, and they want crisp bills and they will reject old looking USD. Lastly, Thai immigration is really good up there. -

A bad workman blames his tools. I make Thai curries, Indian curries, Malaysian Beef Rendang, Greek stews, Osso buco and more. Tell us where you go to get these very good stews and I may go to compare. -

Must Read Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
Even the tax office in your home country probably doesn't have detailed transaction information, and normally they don't care. All they need is how much interest you earned and any other type of income you got. Most of this info is also provided via CRS to countries where you are tax resident.- 1

Trump plays another losing hand......
DJT shares have only one asset, Truth Social. The real number of users is difficult to ascertain, Trump inflates them like he inflates apartment sizes. Truth Social has to grow , to get more advertising income. It's difficult to grow when a platform is posting hate speech. It repels advertisers, as Musk is finding out with X. Reporting revenue of $800,000 and expenses of $16 million does not look like a viable business, to anyone with a bit of sense. Truth Social reportedly has about half a million daily users. Twitter has 217 million, more than 400 times as many. The market cap of Twitter is $40 billion. Truth Social is "valued" at $4 billion. On those numbers compared with Twitter, utter BS. IMO Trump has a new group of suckers and losers, DJT investors. -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
Thanks for your post! The interest on USD is a joke with thai banks (as I have expected.) So only a kind of emergency fund makes sense to keep in a thai bank IMHO. There should always be the option to withdraw 5K EUR a day in baht per credit card (with BKK for example 150K Baht cash withdrawal per day at counter) with the right credit card in TH or use western union (very high fees) in an emergency. -
