passport required for domestic flights? I have a Thai DL
Rather than possibly ending up arguing with a pedantic 'cannot' type of airport jobsworth, I'll just keep using my passport. I've been in Thailand far too long to think that 'across the board' applies anywhere. -

What song brings back a cherished childhood memory, and what is that memory?
For me, the memory is of taking month-long holidays on the island of Corfu with my family, when I was about 11 years old. My father was a university professor, and so benefited from long summer holidays. Each July, we would pack our suitcases (my parents and 2 brothers), and travel by train from our home in Leicester to St Pancras station in north London. Then a taxi across the capital city to Victoria station ,where we could catch the 'boat train' to Dover. Across to Calais on the ferry and another train to Gare du Nord station in Paris. Then across Paris and we boarded the night train that ran all the way from Paris and down to Brindisi in southern Italy. We slept as the train traveled through south France and Switzerland, and then woke up in sunny Italy by the lakes. That whole next day was spent traveling down Italy, close to the coast, looking out of the window all the way at the sights. Finally in the late evening, we arrived in Brindisi and boarded the 'Apia' ship to cross the Adriatic to Corfu island, where we arrived the next morning. Then it was into a small boat to sail along the coast to the pretty village of Kassiopi, where we lodged with a local family. Every day, we would walk to the beach. My father would sit on the beach, marking his student exam papers and swigging Retsina! (I think everyone got a good pass mark because my father was definitely tipsy after marking 50 papers!). I would swim in the clear sea, marveling at the coral and brightly coloured fish. For a young boy with an interest in nature, the various centipedes and 'bugs' on the land fascinated me. Each evening, we would eat in a local taverna (there were very few if any other tourists). The taverna staff would play live Greek music and encourage us to join in with their traditional dances, just like Zorba the Greek! Those wonderful memories are ingrained in my memory, and for this reason I love the music of Mikis Theodorakis and similar music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYQGlBqIrQg&list=RD23VZDS36c7k&index=5 If there is one thing that I want to do before I die, it is to return to visit Greece and to smell the fragrance of the flowers and hear this beautiful music in situ. (In reality, it's probably a tourist ghetto strewn with trash!!). How about you? -

Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
Today my Thai lady told me that Thai people receive unexpected bills from the tax office, which sees transfers from legal entities and issues fines. So this is not killing the golden goose. This is just about the foreigners are subject to the internal law as the local people are. Why so many taxes in so many developing countries? Our leader, Vladimir, told us that America printed several trillion of additional dollars in the recent years. So the world forced to store this enormous amount of useless "paper" and pay real money for it. The money for buying dollars is usually collected as taxes. Some people don't understand the trick - they argue that dollars are real money, not just useless papers. But in fact, money is money only if you are permitted to spend them and they are just useless sheets of paper otherwise. And what happens if one day the colonial administration of any country will be replaced by real patriots who want to change all this sheets of green paper and buy something that has real value for their people? In this case, America will say that the country is not democratic and the dollars they have - they are not democratic also - and should be confiscated. Similar thing happened to Vladimir and his country. The expat community should support Vladimir in his efforts to defeat America and establish a more just world order without predatory neocolonial taxes. This will make our life in Thailand much more comfortable.- 1

That is what they are doing. There is little in the way of funding for such things since vast amounts of money is used up in housing and feeding illegal aliens. -

BREAKING NEWS Second Assassination Attempt-Secret Service get Trump to safety
I just saw a photo of the rifle, (In a video, poor resolution) and heard a retired Navy Seal refer to it as an SKS. The photo showed a sporterized gun, meaning it's been modified for hunting and to be more accurate than a spray-and-pray AK47. The wooded scene photos showed a black "sporterized" modern SKS, with a detachable magazine. It had a scope added for longer-range shooting and appeared to have a "Monte Carlo" stock to fit better to a shooter’s cheek. Firearms experts at The Military Wire called the weapon a 7.62x39mm SKS rifle with black synthetic stock. That’s the same ammunition as most AKs. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/09/15/donald-trump-safe-gunshots/75239096007/ There's photos out there, but they're blocked where I'm staying. Maybe someone can Google one up... -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
But they certainly wouldn't be game changers then if that was the case. It is back to ammo, artillery and barrels and drones. Given the widespread informed information out there about NATO missiles and the size of the inventory I am curious as to why Zelenskiy is highly focused on them in megaphone diplomacy. -

5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
Just made a appointment at the Savannakhet Thai embassy. In the small print they stated to put in the correct visa type or the appointment could be declined. Most Embassies don't list the type but I found a couple (Las Angeles and Jakarta ) that listed it as a non-immigration visa and that is the type I used for the appointment. Would have been nice if they asked for the specific visa as they do in Vientiane. What type of visa is the DTV?
