Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
I'm sorry I don't cheerlead for this war to continue and see it as binary good vs evil that started on 24th February 2022. But there we are, I make my own mind up , I am beholden to no-one or no source and read widely and comprehensively. Indeed I watch RT on average once a year since the invasion to see how ludicrous it is as a source of propaganda. If that makes me a Putin shill in the minds of some here so be it. I avoid baiting and name calling as well I should and if there is one lesson I have learned in my life ,so far if you must waste time on internet forums , don't get angry or annoyed - it's just random people you don't know hammering away on keyboards most probably because they have nothing better to do. War is the greatest evil: Russia was baited into this crime — but that's no excuse https://www.salon.com/2022/03/01/is-the-greatest-evil-was-baited-into-this--but-thats-no-excuse/ -

Are you HAPPY to be ALIVE?
Dear Folks, If one is truly happy to be alive, then why let the small stuff interfere with one’s wish to be happy, happy….HAPPY? Let me provide you with just one example from my own sad experience: Yesterday, and on into the night, I was worried about an Energy Sticker that might be improperly stuck to my machine. Was this worry warranted? Or, could it even have been avoided? No, not likely. Almost Nobody can avoid Energy Stickers in Thailand,...Obviously…unless…they have power and clout… Therefore, you just gotta deal with it, and go with the Thailand Flow…. As it turned out, at least for me, my Energy Sticker had been relatively painless to pull off from my machine, and nothing like a stuck-on bandage, to a festering wound, or anything like that…. I am only saying that sometimes we overly concern ourselves with pointless worry about small issues that might never, finally, even materialize, no matter how unimportant they might be. And, it’s these senseless worries which often distract us from our HAPPINESS. I think you might recall the wonderful and insightful film: The Inn Of The Sixth Happiness, maybe when you were younger, in 1958. Well, this is what I’m talking about! Well.... Here we are, in Thailand, in The Land of Six Happinesses. And now that you have taken the trouble to arrive, would you then really want to spoil your great time in Thailand….just by worrying about an Energy-Sticker Requirement? I thought not, and I STILL think not! I realize that I have written to you many times on this Glorious Forum….TV….over the past many years…..BUT….. I think that THIS Topic is one of my most profound. And, in addition, I think that it’s most apropos of this profound Topic that ….TOMORROW is a Sunday, which might be a wholly day for some of you, and I respect your beliefs. However, I still must say that MY Topic is above religiosity, in any sense of the word. I am just asking you ….not to do as I…but to, instead… Not sweat the small stuff….and, again…not as I. And, most of all… Please do not sweat anything nearly as small as a sticker. This is my sermon to you…. This Sunday. I knew you would love it. And, there are those here who might love it more. Best regards, Gamma (The Same Gamma) -

Baht becoming ridiculously strong
That's what you claim, however, very successful Forex traders say that understanding fundamentals is just as key as technical indicators and chart analysis. I do agree with your last paragraph though, the news is indeed also made to fit what happened, to get some kind of explanation. However, the market does have real fundamentals, and those people who move the markets do not just place trades on a whim, they also consider the fundamentals of the economy. -

Jomtien TM30 Requirement
As of November 2023, Jomtien requires a new TM30 for returning from outside the country. It caught many people out and they got fined, because it was a change in policy. Also countrywide, you must do your first 90-day report in person after returning from outside the country. You might get lucky and they accept the online submission, but many many have been denied with the reason that they must go in person after returning. -

J.D.Vance declines to criticize Tucker Carlson over his friendly chat with Holocaust Denier
Again, the Wehrmacht was poorly prepared for taking care of prisoners in the East, the letters by German officers which Cooper mentions where they complain there is no food to feed the prisoners are real. The German standard scholarship agrees that the Wehrmacht made insufficient provisions for prisoners. To see Generalplan Ost as a blueprint for what actually happened in the East is problematic. From your own link: "It was a confidential proposal whose content was known only to those at the top level of the Nazi hierarchy" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalplan_Ost Since this plan was only known to those at the top level of the Nazi hierarchy, it is not realistic to see day to day actions carried out by Germans on the ground as motivated by this plan. In addition this plan was never fully implemented. Again, from your own link: "Generalplan Ost was only partially implemented during the war in territories occupied by Germany on the Eastern Front during World War II...However, its full implementation was not considered practicable during major military operations, and never materialised due to Germany's defeat." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalplan_Ost Generalplan Ost is more accurately seen as what the SS would have wanted to happen in case of German victory, it was more a plan for the future than an actual plan for how to deal with prisoners of wars on the ground during Germany's actual military operations. -

Certificate of residence from Changwattana
The influx of Russians mostly. They were at a point for many months where they hit their daily capacity of residence certificates (300) and would turn people away after that. And that happened every day for many months. I'm not sure if it's still like that but supply & demand. -

Must Read Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
The Thai tax system isn't evolved enough for this kind of global taxation. Take investments for example, there isn't a proper capital gains tax in place, it's just personal income tax for everything you make unless of course it's made on the glorious SET (which I don't trust one bit) where somehow there are zero taxes on the gains as it's exempt. If they activate a global taxation with the current structure then anyone who makes even just a few hundred thousand dollars a year will end up out of pocket a lot due to their punitive personal income tax structure. It won't affect 'the poor' which seems to be most of the people on this forum.- 1

Must Read American 'Life Coach' Arrested for Selling Psychedelic Mushroom Therapy
Veterans Administration Hospital (VA) doctors gave me psychotropic drugs as part of my PTSD treatment. I stopped taking them because of the hallucinations they caused. When I told the VA doctors the meds were making me hallucinate, I was told, those drugs don't do that! -

Can the Asean Now Community Mediate? Your Input is Needed!
With a foreigner calling the shots at this company, including the initiation of law suits, it seems that the Thai majority shareholder is merely a nominee and can get into serious legal trouble for it. It should be easy for your lawyer to find out all details about this company from the business registation department, including the names, positions and adresses of the members of the board, also the names of the shareholders and the percentage of shares they own, plus a copy of the articles of association and the latest statement of accounts. Your lawyer could contact the registered president or board chairman and arrange for a meeting between him, you and your lawyer. -

Just nearly sent me back home to Blighty.
There's literally only 2 embassies in the world that have terminology like this on their websites. And it's not a rule. But they can put whatever they want on their websites. To top it off, the embassies and consulate have no say in the entry policies, as that is immigration which is a completely different government agency. -

J.D.Vance declines to criticize Tucker Carlson over his friendly chat with Holocaust Denier
How is this dishonesty? Cooper is merely pointing out correctly that prior to WW1 Germans were viewed very favourably in Britain, but then turned into demons in WWII and then again back to good guys after the war. He is right that the innate evil of Germans is a poor and unsatsifying explanation for WWII. -

J.D.Vance declines to criticize Tucker Carlson over his friendly chat with Holocaust Denier
One can debate what might have happened had Britian accepted German peace offers in 1940, however, we know that Hitler viewed Russia and the colonial peoples as the main threat to the Germanic peoples, therefore he had always said a strong British empire was needed. Besides, why would Hitler have invaded Britain, it had nothing to offer Germany. The only reason for Operation Sealion was to knock Britain out of the war. It's not just that Churchill dismissed German peace offers in 1940, Cooper also says, correctly, that Britain was instrumental in turning the regional German-Polish war into a world war. Indeed, after the BEF fled at Dunkirk Britain had no means to fight back, apart from bombing civilians, and it was Churchill's plan to get either the US or Russia to fight Germany. So in a very real sense Churchill is the person most reponsible for WWII, according to Cooper.
