Bill Gates Warns of Likely Pandemic Within Next 25 Years
LOL! Do you think this article was custom-written for the ASEAN Now and their prized geriatric old expat market? As to "why would any of us on here care", I think you've encapsulated quite a lot of the Right-Wing psychology that we observe here every day. The RW tend to think only in terms of "what's in it for me?" Is there a better demonstration than this? I'll tell you why I care - I have kids and I have friends who are significantly younger than me. But it's not even about them entirely. I don't want even YOUR friends and kids (if you have any) to suffer needlessly when there's a good way to resolve these issues now through preparation. But it's not even about them. I don't want humanity to suffer needlessly either, why would that be a good thing? This cocktail of idiocy is remarkable even for you - I guess you missed that science has ALREADY DEVELOPED THE ABILITY TO DEVELOP NEW VACCINES RAPIDLY! There was this thing called "COVID-19", you may have heard of it? You really think we're not going to survive the next 25 years without a nuclear or bio-weapon war or complete loss of water somehow? Wow, can't wait for your new book to come out. And I guess you've also missed that Gates no longer involved in Microsoft, and that he's focused entirely on philanthropy with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He also was the one who noted that the world was woefully unprepared and under imminent threat of a pandemic - in 2015! What a dummy! -

Are there any vape-free nightlife venues left?
I’ve tested an E-Cig before and it's much better option for my health. It has significantly less harmful chemicals compared to traditional cigarettes, and the flavors can be much more pleasant without the overpowering smoke. Plus, E-Cigs often produce less odor, which makes the environment more enjoyable for everyone around. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Strategic bombing, ie the deliberite carpet bombing of civilians, did not start with Poland. As was established the British invented this in the Middle East. They were the first to use it. Bomber Harris was carpet bombing Iraqi civlians long before he bombed civilians in Europe. Neither Poland nor Rotterdam, especially not Rotterdam, were "area bombings" of the kind the British invented and started since 1942 in Germany. "In February 1942, the British abandoned their "precision bombing" strategy. For the rest of the war, the British concentrated on the systematic widespread destruction of German cities by RAF nighttime air raids, a strategy called "area bombing." One reason the British took this fateful step was to "dehouse" the German people, which hopefully would shatter their morale and will to continue the war." https://teachdemocracy.org/bill-of-rights-in-action/bria-15-3-a-firestorms-the-bombing-of-civilians-in-world-war-ii Remember we have the actual Strategic Bombing Directive from the British where it is documented they seek to target civilians. Nothing like this exists for the Luftwaffe, which did of course on occasion bomb civilians inadvertently during military operations. However, what the British did was qualitatively different. They actually invented carpet bombing and then systematically sought to carpet bomb civilians. Of course after the British started this Hitler replied in kind. But before this happened Hitler offered to outlaw the bombing of civilians for all parties, but unsurprisingly the British did not take him up on it. -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
Thats fair . If one has structured their income outside of Thailand, such that their foreign income has minimal to no tax obligations, then as you point out, for all Thai visas the possibility of these new tax changes can be of concern (although I believe the LTR may have less of a concern due to the LTR Royal Decree). I assume in the case of concern over paying taxes in Thailand (for income from outside of Thailand), one needs to start researching one or more places in the world where one may wish to spend 185 or more days of a calendar year outside of Thailand. There would most likely be a lot of effort involved there with such research (to do so in detail, cities, neighbourhoods, rentals ... etc ) , unless one has family or friends where one can stay for long periods of time (outside of Thailand). All of this effort to try and save Thai tax on TBD income. My own view is most of us (even with substantial investments) are already covered under Double Taxation Agreements (DTA) and that most of us were not able in our lifetime to structure our financial earnings in a minimal tax environment. In my case, my wife is Thai and after living outside of Thailand for 20 years (married) its now her turn for us to live in Thailand. I already had an adequate investment in Thailand (condominium ownership) that helped contribute to me meeting the BoI LTR visa criteria, and most (possibly all < unsure > ) my foreign pension and investment income is covered by a DTA, so the new tax laws are something I watch, just in case the Royal Decree is superseded, and just in case I don't make a mistake. Just in case! Just in case???? At present time thou ... this is a LOT OF SPECULATION re: any Thai income tax on foreign income the LTR visa holders of Wealthy Global citizens or Wealthy Pensioners may (or may not) have to be concerned about. My main interest thou, is to be certain I do not need to file a Thai tax return when on the LTR visa (as I have insufficient Thai income from interest in Thai sources, but clearly I have a lot of assessable (but exempt) foreign income) - where at present I do not plan to file such a return. -
