Heavy duty speaker stands in Thailand? Where to buy them or get them custom made?
There's some super heavy wooden planks - I think 18K/meter. That would be perfect to build a speaker enclosure/boxes. Very challenging but I can assure you it is very cool and nobody can afford real ones -

5 Former Defence Secretaries Urge UK to Allow Ukraine to Use Long Range Missiles
The fact is we can (for now) still get other views is in spite of what the state wants ,why are they trying so hard to shut down RT, removed from youtube and many "freeview" cable and satellite feeds the recent Tenent media "scandal" the arrests of pro Palestinian journalists in UK.. facebook posters comments on riots ,Russell Brand, Alex Jones etc etc etc Slowly but surely their grip on the media space tightens eventually all you will be left with is the "approved official credible source narrative" with no room for descent or disagreement from that narrative else you'll be labelled as as conspiracy theorist or worse a terrorist and locked up... -

What song brings back a cherished childhood memory, and what is that memory?
Another song which has stuck with me through the years is Running Bear. It was played at the funeral of a classmate when I was about ten. My mother and some other parents were totallly outraged that a pop song was played at a funeral, but they didn't say anything. According to the mother of the girl wgo was buried, Running Bear had been her daughter's favorite song. When we got home, my mom just shook her head and said something about "white trash." I didn't share my mom's opinion and thought it was fitting they had played a song the girl liked. -

Wat Ratchabophit Bans Wedding Ceremonies Amid Social Media Buzz
In a bid to maintain its sacred integrity, the revered Wat Ratchabophit Sathitmahasimaram temple has officially banned wedding ceremonies and pre-wedding photoshoots. This announcement was made on September 15, quelling widespread social media rumours suggesting otherwise. The temple, known for its tranquil grounds and stunning architecture, emphasized that only activities in line with Buddhist traditions would be allowed, and even those require prior approval. “Wedding ceremonies? Absolutely not!”, declared the temple. Only merit-making activities, like offering alms to monks or chanting scriptures, will be permitted within the hallowed halls. The establishment explicitly stated that ring exchanges, water-pouring rituals, and similar nuptial activities are strictly out of bounds. Addressing the swirling misinformation, the temple warned against unauthorized gossip, cautioning that spreading false claims is strongly disapproved. They also issued a stern reminder to visitors: staff are under strict orders not to accept cash or gifts related to merit-making activities. The bans extend to commercial endeavours as well. Photography, videography, and product advertising that might disrupt the temple's peace and sanctity are forbidden. Any behaviour seen as inappropriate could prompt local government intervention. Visitors are urged to dress modestly and respect Thai traditions. Couple photoshoots and entertainment activities using sacred sites as backdrops are prohibited, and disturbing monks or worshippers is strictly forbidden. The temple firmly stressed its non-affiliation with any businesses claiming to offer religious ceremonies or weddings. Misleading claims would face investigations and potential legal action. For any suspicious activities or misleading claims, the temple urges people to report to the Special Affairs Group at the Secretariat of the Supreme Patriarch. The temple’s message is clear: uphold the sanctity of Wat Ratchabophit — a place for worship and spiritual solace, not wedding fantasies. File photo for reference only -- 2024-09-17 -

Wife transfers from dependent visa to Retirement Visa in case I pass away before her.
No idea what charges you incur for a direct wire transfer, but you should compare those charges against using 'Wise', which the majority of expats use for transfers. Transparent site, low cost fees and good exchange rates. Yes. Transfer 65K per month to a Thai bank account in your wife's sole name, and she qualifies for an extension of stay based on retirement (50+) in her own right, not as a dependant of you. The 65K per month can be immediately withdrawn and used for expenses. Ignore the tax thing! -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
Unclear, but the best bet surely at this time. I do know I can officially bring money in now without fear of owing any tax, that is reason enough and for me and the main reason. 50k is nothing for that peace of mind. The 10 year multiple entry etc etc is just a bonus (and cheaper). There are other ways to move world wide income around to avoid the CRS/FACTA reporting back to Thailand if it ever got to that, that's got to be better than uprooting to another country for me. -

5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
@oldmanofindonesia, confirm. I just checked their website, and it only offers appointments for December 2025. It looks like a bug to me because I remember that when I made my appointment in August, I could easily find a slot within the next 3 weeks. I suggest you either wait until they fix the bug (if that’s the case) or try the Thai Embassy in Hanoi, as their website offers slots in September. @Dart12, $340 is the official fee for the DTV visa application at the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh city. Apparently, flights, lodging, and living costs are extra. -

Swift endorsement turns more voters from harris than it attracts…
Trump saying this nonsense, that babies are murdered after birth, I can't fathom why he'd say such a stupidity. However, it is very clear that in Minnesota the thing they were very subtle about was to remove the duty on doctors to use life saving measures and ensure now that only "care" is required. You have to understand that before a doctor was obliged by the law to do all life saving measures possible. Now, no longer. He, the doctor, and the mother can play God. Of course this won't happen a lot, because people are not insane, but in law this is the state of affairs. This is bad, and the Democrats did a very bad thing in allowing abortion without any gestation period limit. I mean this is completely insane. No civilized country in the world has such laws on abortion. -

Heavy duty speaker stands in Thailand? Where to buy them or get them custom made?
I could manage THX (well Dah 6.2) incl. amps and even filters for tweeters and woofers over there back when Panasonic made first 5.1 DVD player (from Japan). Now it looks silly but back then I was so excited! PS: as well as my neighbors. Not! -
