What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
I watched part of the movie, "The Savage Peace" and it brought back memories of another doco I'd seen some while ago, and it might have even been this one? I had also watched a doco which challenged the well worn cliché that it was only the Nazis who were killing and torturing the Jews in Germany, and it did this by showing home movies of Jews being attacked in the streets and being dragged out of their homes and beaten by "everyday" Germans! These two along with a particularly gutwrenching doco about what was found in the concentration camps after the British arrived there, really made me understand that man's cruelty to men knows no bounds – – which was partly why I stopped viewing the movie, "The Savage Peace" because this was really about the payback/retribution/revenge for what occurred in the war, and I've had my fill of this. However thank you for bringing it to my attention and I will work my way through the other movies shortly, and by way of mention, I will also look for the movie suggested by you in the PM. Many thanks. -

Health Supplements
I would highly recommend exercise. I was getting back into shape and at the same time was successful in cutting back my BP meds dosage 50%. Unfortunately I injured myself and had to take a huge hiatus. I can't do the exercise that I want for another couple months although I am doing a lot of stretching and mobility. Be very excited to challenge myself like that again. I believe that much of my condition is just lazy lifestyle and was drinking alcohol too much. Therefore I would highly suggest you get yourself on a serious exercise regimen. Can be something as simple as 30 minutes of stretching and mild cardio exercise plus 10,000 steps a day Good luck. I'm in a very similar boat I want to do the same thing -

Wise receipts + Thai bank receipts as proof of monthly transfers (retirement visa)
Do you have internet banking with Kasikorn? Go there an order statements for download in Thai language and see what they show. Otherwise you have to go to the branch and order statements on the spot for 200 Baht. The problem might be - depending on your situation - that statements are issued no more than one year back. Don't know whether you can get back longer for cost and potential waiting time. For immigration I would take care to get statements from the branch with stamps and signature. -

Violent Brawl Between Drunk Australian Tourists Shocks Pattaya
This is what Thais see so often and and expect from 'dirty falangs'. Unfortunately, there are many Thais that do not understand that there are sexpat pieshead Tourists like these blokes, and then there normal retired/married Expats of which the vast majority are good. It is only once the Thais get to know an Expat that they understand that there is a big difference. I can see Thailand one day getting to the point where they will like many other countries (Japan, Spain, Bali, etc etc) where they decide that enough is enough. While the travel industries and associations all push for more and more tourists due to self-interest, with ever increasing BS about their 'value' to the economy, the ordinary people in many countries are starting to protest and demand less tourists. Post Covid saw a surge in badly behaved cheap charlie tourists who are trying to 'party' after years of suppression - they have become too many and too much - and many countries have had enough. I think Thailand might start heading that way soon if TAT and all the others keep promising an economic saviour from millions of more tourists like these Aussie blokes that never eventuates - but all the social problems continue to grow. -

Leaked Supreme Court Memos Reveals Chief Justice Interferring in Election Cases & Jan 6
Maybe President Biden should use the immunity he was given by gifting some justices with accidents. That would be hilariously ironic. -

I wish him all the best and if trying to find work hope he does. But going home after admitting you cant afford Thailand his options are pretty limited hence he will be staying with mom and dad. I did. 🙃 Feel better? -

Senior judge suspended after molestation allegations on train
If he drank alcohol on the train that is also illigal now. Was he seen drinking ? Nick the basturd and jail him. A soft power in Thailand is the legal system if you are Rich. -

Tourism Minister Aims to Levy 300-Baht Fee for Visitors
I don't mind paying 300 baht if it means I can get in and out of an airport quicker but what I don't like is when I can't see where our money is spent.Could be someone's back pocket for all we know. -

Commerce minister plea: Time to cut the baht and boost the rates
Stop the manipulation of the exchange rate...... Thailand is being watched for a while already because of this... Nothing to do with a strong THB... The Thai economy is just not doing well and the political situation is also very weak. No reasons for the THB to be strong except that it is manipulated- 1

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
US military aid packages to Ukraine shrink amid concerns over Pentagon stockpiles - CNN As Budanov pointed out in an earlier post the DPRK has provided virtually unlimited artillery shells and as an ancient former proxy of the 1950s Soviet Union they share a lot of historic kit. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/17/politics/us-reducing-military-aid-packages-ukraine/index.html “Replenishment is also an issue,” the official said. The US is ramping up production of key items, such as 155 mm ammunition and Patriot missile systems, both to supply Ukraine and to refill US inventories. But it is a yearslong process that won’t quickly meet the surging demand. Before the war in Ukraine, the US produced approximately 15,000 155 mm artillery shells each month. With new factories and production lines opening, the US is now producing 40,000 shells a month. But it will still take more than a year for the Pentagon to hit its goal of 100,000 shells each month. The process of ramping up production is on schedule, but the process will take years, requiring new facilities, expanded factories and Congress willing to allocate the money. -
