If anyone has had good experiences with professionals in the area, please share their contact details or let me know how I can reach them. Thanks in advance! Your help is much appreciated. Best regards, James E. -

Ford Focus, parts and reliability?
I have owned two Ford Focus in Thailand. Both were very good cars and just as reliable as all the Toyota I have owned. However you must be careful which model you buy. Forget the 1.5 turbo Ecosport because the engine has a bad design. It is called the Ecoboom by traders for a reason. The 2013 - 2017 models have the SportShift gearbox There are two types of SportShift gearboxes, the DCT250 and the DCT450. The DCT250 has a dry clutch and is plagued with problems. The DCT450 has a wet clutch and is reliable but don't miss a gearbox oil change. There was a small batch of Mk1 Focus TDCi imported around 2008 with manual transmission. If I could find a good low mileage example at a sensible price I would buy it. Many parts are available online. I also order parts from MIck's garage in Ireland. Good service and prices. I avoid the main Ford Stealership because of their high prices and long delivery times. -

Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
I don't know, that's why I asked. I know some people work as freelance or self employed status and pay their own taxes but I don't know if you can do that on a WP - I used to do that in Europe and Asia. So you work, your employer pays your tax directly to the TRD and then what, you file a tax return at the end of the year to settle up? I guess in that scenario the TRD doesn't care if you leave or not, they probably even hope that you do so they don't have to deal with your tax return. The check and balance in that set up is the employer is on the hook to deduct and pay the tax so that's the guarantee. -

No, they did not just happen to be there, as the OP clearly reported... "Through investigations, the police found that these three Maldivian nationals were residing at a condominium on Ramkhamhaeng Road, Huamark and exhibited suspicious behavior. The officers then observed the area" -

Trump Vows to Make Overtime Pay Tax-Free: ‘Finally Catch a Break’
I think Harris should use a bit of Jiu-Jitsu on him. She should go along with his idea but insist let it be paid for by raising taxes on the rich. As polls show, even Republicans support raising taxes on the rich. -

Case studies in delusion': GOP pollster buries formerly Trump-skeptical Republicans
Article makes logical sense considering one of trump's senior advisers is Stephen Miller, a well known white Supremacist. / Great Replacement conspiracy theorist. Republican pollster Sarah Longwell on Friday morning found herself incredulous that Republicans who were highly skeptical of former President Donald Trump are now expressing dismay that he's hanging out with hardcore racists such as Laura Loomer.. Writing on X, Longwell slammed some of her former political allies who seemingly believe that they can manipulate Trump away from embracing far-right extremists despite the fact that he has made a habit of doing so for nearly a decade now. "People who are clutching their pearls over Trump hanging out with conspiracy theorist lunatic Laura Loomer are cracking me up," she wrote. "Guys, Trump is the chief lunatic conspiracy theorist. He’s not 'being influenced,' he’s just hanging out with people who think the same way he does." 'Case studies in delusion': GOP pollster buries formerly Trump-skeptical Republicans (msn.com) -

Foreign pickup driver flees after crashing into Thai woman in Phuket
My personal observation: I drive every day and encounter local motorists with terrible driving skills every day as well. Sorry for being rude but these locals even dare to complain to me on the road when they are actually in the wrong.
