LAST TIME REFUSED ENTRY RETRY MONDAY
So my friend an Aussie arrived at BKK in June and was not allowed entry sent back home lt appears they did not stamp is passport with anything about refusing entry he had a long history of visa exempts and then 30 day extensions at CM immigration and one land border hop but in total 6 months easily from Dec 23 his last exit was only about 3 weeks back in Oz before he tried his June re-entry. now he is in Malaysia IMO stupidly booked a flight to CM on Monday if i were in his shoes i would be going over by land or boat as he is currently in Langkawi that gives him two boat entry options or he could have gone by land. Anyway he is going by air obviously things have changed now with 60 day visa exempts but what are his chances... will there be a note in the system about refusal even though the IO who was a woman never stamped his passport she was not happy with him or his numerous visa exempts and extensions I personally think he will get refused entry although CM is seen as a soft entry option and the new VE rules are in place. if he gets refused will they ship him back to KUL as that is where he is flying from or try send him back home to OZ what do you reckon his chances are? -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Thai RD knows anyway via CRS the value of your holdings as the max account/portfolio value is transfered anually if you are a tax resident. What I meant was make sure that you do not have substantial cap gains in 2025 when it is unclear if unremitted income will be taxed. Also be carefull regarding remitted income in 2024 as I am only 99% sure that this income will not be taxed if you hold a LTR visa. Godspeed to us all on this bumpy ride! -

J.D.Vance declines to criticize Tucker Carlson over his friendly chat with Holocaust Denier
I don't think you will find much about Daryl Cooper and the Holocaust. I've never heard of him before the Carlson interview, and indeed never watched Carlson before, but after searching online it does not look like Daryl Cooper has a particular interest in the holocaust. Though he has done a lot of research on the history of Israel/Palestine. Since he is not a holocaust academic I don't think his views on the holocaust would be particularly noteworthy. Carlson did not ask deep probing questions about the Holocaust because this was not an interview about the holocaust. Rather Carlson's strategy was to ask interesting questions about a whole host of topics Daryl Cooper was actually knowlegeable about, such as Jim Jones, leaders of WWII and such. In that Carlson succeeded and it was an extremely interesting interview whiich gave Cooper ample chance to shine with his preferred topics. Thanks for the interesting article on Substack, which I read with great interest. But if the most egregious charge against Cooper is that he did an interview with Greg Johnson then you might as well claim that Louis Theroux and the BBC are holocaust deniers. You can't convict someone by association, you'd have to find something in the actual writings of Daryl Cooper that suggests he is a holocaust denier. There is nothing I have found, and I note you clearly have not either. Indeed Cooper has said that FDR should not have entered the war on the side of Britain. Cooper's argument is that it was Churchill who ensured that the local Polish German war turned into a world war, and that it was Churchill who refused to end the war in 1940, after Germany had sued for peace with Britain. This again, does not make Cooper a holocaust denier. Churchill was indeed under the thumb of banks, for the simple reason that he had over 4 million million USD in debt as he was terrible with money and always had banks finance his lifestyle, even after his massive inheritance. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/09/churchill-bad-at-finances.html It's a sad state of affairs when someone can't tell the truth and historical facts anymore, for fear of being bullied, and defamed as a holocaust denier. -

Can you defend yourself?
If not being physical threatenend I prefer to back off. I can defend myself, but would not chase anyone, especially in Thailand. Working as security in my younger days, I learned how quickly a situation under controll could suddenly turn on me as a security where bypassers especially the drunk ones, woud intervene. I have seen this happens so quick in Thailand, where one drunk tourist have an argument in the street, ans suddenly 4-5 others jumps in and kick the <deleted> out of the "stupid" foreigner. -

What do you do with the fine poder?
I read before that the fine powder that collects at the bottom of the grinder is very strong. Tried once to mix it into a joint but didn't feel anything (I smoke pure herb, no tobacco). So how do you use it?? -

Baht becoming ridiculously strong
The people involved in foreign exchange trade are currently uncertain whether the Fed will cut the Prime Rate 0.50% or 0.25%. I've thought the U.S. dollar was overvalued for a few months, and that may contribute to the size of the loss. It's currently looking like a cut of 0.25% is more likely, so the dollar may go back up in a couple of weeks. Or not. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
Update to above: From further review/testing of the "SOH" reading of 95.88% provided by the Car Scanner Pro app and OBD2 dongle I have determined it is "not" providing the "current", repeat current SOH. Instead, it's providing a reading based on data/a measurement hard-coded into the vehicle at the "Factory"/when the EV was manufactured--and this Factory data/measurement is never updated....it's hard-coded/locked data/measurement and is never updated/changed as the vehicle is driven over the ensuring years. And it's not necessarily a Factory SOH measurement; instead, it's just another battery capacity test done at the factory for testing purposes before the vehicle gets shipped out to a BYD dealership somewhere in the world. Basically, the app is providing a "Calculated" SOH (the operative word is calculated) by dividing the Factory measurement of "HV Battery Pack Factory Nominal Capacity of 145.73AH" by the Factory data entry of "HV Battery Pack Pack Factory Capacity of 152AH." See 2nd snapshot below. And the 152AH metric is not actually a measurement but a rating given by the battery manufacturer. Now the 145.73AH metric is probably an actual measurement which is then hard-coded/locked into the vehicle's OBD system. These two hard-coded metrics are shown in the scanner app and pulled directly from the vehicle OBD system. Divide 145.73 by 152 and you get 95.875% which when rounded is 95.88% which is the exact same number shown in the separate SOH reading displayed in the app (see 3rd snapshot below). I expect the Car Scanner app developer has received a lot of requests to add a SOH reading to the app but since the OBD data for such a measurement is probably proprietary info that BYD does not want to release other than probably to BYD Dealerships which have specialized BYD diagnostic equipment that the app developer just used the two accessible "HV Battery Pack Factory OBD metrics" talked above and then assumed a "calculation" of those two metrics (i.e., divide one by the other) was the only way to provide a SOH reading. Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier those two metrics never change/are hard coded/done at the factory. But the app developer did title the SOH reading as "SOH Calculated" vs simply SOH. I expect the vehicle does track the "current" SOH and updates a SOH metric in the OBD system but BYD is not releasing open-source type info which would allow OBD Scanner developers to write software to pull that info from the vehicle's OBD system. So, I expect some app developers just do the best they can to provide some type of SOH reading although the way they are doing it may not be valid....but it's good enough to make some/many customers think the SOH reading is the real-world, current battery SOH when it fact it is not. Those customers will figure that after a while when they wonder why the SOH reading never changes after years of driving the vehicle. I came to above conclusion after finding out that when I discharged the battery to less than 10% and then recharged to 100% the SOH reading not those two "HV Battery Pack Factory" did not change....not even when the measurement indicate to two decimal points. A few days ago I discharged my Atto down to 1% on the car's display( which was actually 0.9% per OBD data) and then did a full recharge to 100% at home using my 7KW wall charger. And I did not discharge to 1% by just driving the car around to say I got down to around 5% and then just let the car idle with A/C and headlights on to further discharge it down to 1% in the safety of my home carport. Oh no , I got down to 1% after an approx 150Km trip....arrived back home with 1% charge and 5Km range remaining....am I brave or not...or just crazy!!!! The WLTP range rating of my Atto is 420Km with no A/C usage as the WLTP test is accomplished without A/C turned on....but I got a real world range of 424.1km with A/C always on and set to 22C. This provides solid evidence the vehicle's battery SOH is still very good after my 10.5 months of use and having a little over 20,000Km on the odometer. 1st snapshot below shows since my last full charge I drove 419.1Km with 5Km range left when hitting 1% charge remaining. 2nd Snapshot: shows those "HV Battery Pack Factory" metrics I was talking about. Divide the two as discuss earlier and you get 95.88%. Also, shows another hard-coded metric from the factory of a 64% State of Charge (SoC)....this metric has never changed....it just records/shows the EV was charged to 64% before being shipped out to the world. 3rd Snapshot: Shows the SOH reading. I shortened the title to simply SOH vs SOH Calculated. When I first added the reading to the app's display it was titled SOH Calculated but I shortened it to simply SOH. Kinda like how you might save a browser bookmark but then change/edit/shorten/lengthen the bookmark title so it makes sense to you. ***********************
