Whistleblower Testifies Titan Sub Tragedy Was 'Inevitable' Due to Ignored Safety Warnings
Agreed, but I doubt the information conveyed to the passenger truly emphasised the size of the risks. Safety laws & regualtions exist for the reason. Wonder how they were able to get way with avoiding/ignoring so many safety regulations? -

Expat Taxation - Does anyone really know what's going on?
No, why would you think we (employer) has to file a return for them. We operate a small business- not in company structure. Its up to an individual to file their own tax returns. You should know this. -

Robert Mueller Warns of Continued Russian Election Interference, US Remains Unprepared
Historians will be arguing for 50 years why half a million Ukrainians did not die on Trump's watch. Personally, I think it's because Putin couldn't predict Trump's response, so he didn't FAFO like he did for Obama and Biden, who were soooo predictable. There's something to be said for a leader looking batcrap crazy. I think historians refer to it as strategic ambiguity. In any case, I don't know (or care) WHY Putin didn't attack during Trumps term. Just THAT he didn't attack and put the world at risk of Armageddon, until predictable Joe got in. -

Replacement Apple batteries, oem or generic?
Yes, I've been able to use an iPhone 6 up until now - Line and Whatsapp won't work from November, although the UK HMRC app stopped working a couple of years ago due to unable to upgrade IoS. However I've just bought a ZTE A55 for 2,900 baht (actually got 25% shopee coins, so really 2,200) that does everything I need and more for a tenth of the price of an iPhone. -

I Love Donald Trump
Part of a large group of changes that resulted in - Unprecedented Economic Boom Before the China Virus invaded our shores, we built the world’s most prosperous economy. America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections. Middle-Class family income increased nearly $6,000 – more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration. The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half-century. Achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job-hirings. More Americans reported being employed than ever before – nearly 160 million. Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low. The number of people claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest on record. Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly 3 decades. Trump Administration Accomplishments – The White House (archives.gov) -

Interactive Wire Transfer In Baht to Bangkok Bank - BBK Transfer fees?
It is very likely that you will receive a worse exchange rate if you send your funds in Thai baht. I've only ever sent US$ but it seems very likely that the .25% fee with a minimum of 200฿ and a maximum of 500฿ is applicable to any inbound SWIFT transfer. -

What’s the best area in Thailand for expats to settle for long-term living?
Can't fault Pattaya if you want a cheap place with lots of western amenities, close to a beach. If I were a beach person, I'd be there -as places like Ko Chang or even Phuket would be too small town for me. If you're not a beach person, it's either Bangkok or Chiang Mai. Moving to a place like Khorat without a GF in tow seems like a guarantee of alcoholism Did CM for two years and found it to also be a little too small town for me. Living on soi 11 with an air purifier working full time is the happiest I've been to date. Plenty of meetups, tremendous food options, the BTS and metro are a godsend to get anywhere I'd want to go pretty fast. -

Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
Have you even read the Agenda 2025? Do you seriously think a guy like Donald Trump would outlaw pornography? What is in the Agenda about abortion is diametrically opposed to all that Trump has ever said about his abortion policy, he couldn't even implement that if he wanted to. -

You have to wonder why they are putting in so much effort....and why now? Could Thaksin have rubbed up some General the wrong way?- 1

Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
Possibly, but that is a topic that has been done to death elsewhere, don't you think? So, back to THIS topic, why don't Democratic party leaders try a little honesty when discussing Trump? Their pearl clutching screeching is making things worse for everyone. -

Virtual bank race: Five giants vie for digi-crown in Thailand
Well, Chartsiri Sophonpanich should sit in for digital banking with his own financial institute - to start with. iBanking Bualuang works not 24/7 (FDC accounts) allows only 40 beneficiaries on the "transfer to" list very limited to transfer for public (PEA/PWA/MEA etc.) fee table slightly mind-boggling - see screen capture hereafter: -

Former Army Chief Set to Lead Neo-Conservative Party
Yes but it's more than that. It's about how you structure your society (eg hierarchy & how you organize it) and the general concepts of morality that go with that (eg equality of all vs hierarchy of status & power). -

Any advantages to retirement over marriage visa?
That same exception applies to both section 2.18 "family members" and section 2.22 "retirement", with the same requirements > evidence from Pension! Rightly or wrongly, Immigration make the assumption if you apply for a 1 year extension based on Thai spouse, then you must have retired or be working in Thailand. If you're young enough and not in receipt of a pension, then the assumption appears to be you have sufficient funds to deposit 400K THB in a Thai bank account. At my IO, if using the monthly overseas transfers for an extension based on either retirement or Thai spouse, they regularly request proof of being in receipt of a pension.
