Thailand banks could be forced to share hacking costs
It will be very interesting to see if this gets any traction beyond being "tabled for discussion"............. It has become a very serious issue for many people and the banks do not seem that interested in really finding out how and why when money goes missing. I base this on recent third hand experience with an expat working here. -

Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
fair enough, thats all true. definitely not right though, i dont like that its viewed as normal, or just the price you may pay if someone doesnt agree with your politics. most of the western world seems to be having a psychotic episode right now, people are just so aggressive, angry and completely intolerant of people with different opinions. and i mean people on both sides of any disagreement. it has to stop. -

AGODA (again)
It might be your bank that is to blame and not Agoda. I've booked countless times with them. Never had a problem. If you want your money back, use the live chat. Pretty straight forward. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
That's my point, in the UK HMRC has clear guidelines that if you use a Foreign Credit Card to purchase Goods or Services in the UK and then pay the resulting bill using money from a Foreign Bank Account you are remitting money into the UK. Very clear & if we're honest with ourselves, it makes perfect sense. And yes, this is how the UK taxes UK Tax Residents, citizens or Non-Citizens doesn't matter as long as they're Tax Resident. But then again, maybe I'm delusional because some Aussie wants to try to school me on how Remittance based Taxation works... -

Prime Minister Starmer Defends Taking Donations Amid Criticism
They were imprisoned for hurty words. They confessed to making hurty word posts. It doesn't matter what mental gymnastics you put yourself through it is undeniable that they typed some hurty words into facebook and were jailed for it. I think where you are getting yourself turned in knots is that you are expecting to see 'hurty words' in the legislation as though this is a formal term rather than just a colloquialism for Section 127 of the Communications act. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
If true about the Iskanders et al then Russia would be well advised to store high value items next to nuclear facilities , reactors or missile sites. One does idly wonder if this was indeed a multiple drone strike or some more sophisticated missile either a home made Ukrainian or a 'hacked' western one - where western minders conveniently look the other way. We will probably never know for sure. But a huge hit for sure and a major Ukrainian success. -

Thai Funeral Practice of Lighting Cigarettes Sparks Online Debate
In a remarkable burst of online activity, a Thai man's query about an unusual funeral custom has ignited an extensive debate on social media. The man, posting anonymously on the Facebook page Knowledge Around, wondered about the significance of lighting cigarettes instead of incense sticks at funerals. The question posed on Monday, September 16, quickly went viral, attracting a surge of reactions from intrigued netizens. Most responses pointed towards a traditional belief: lighting cigarettes at funerals is often reserved for deceased smokers as a mark of respect, symbolising a final gesture to accompany them to the afterlife. One commenter noted, "Thailand has a mixed culture. Lighting cigarettes at funerals where the deceased was a smoker is akin to pouring alcohol on graves in Japanese or Western traditions." Another participant added, "It’s a way to honour the deceased in a manner that aligns with their personal beliefs. It’s fine as long as it doesn’t disturb others or violate social norms." Offering an international perspective, one individual remarked, "In Vietnam, they light cigarettes as offerings at deity statues. Both incense and cigarettes were placed together." While most discussions emphasised cultural significance, an intriguing comment suggested a futuristic angle: “Lighting cigarettes at funerals usually relates to specific cultural traditions, serving as a symbolic farewell tied to the deceased’s lifestyle." Amidst this heated discussion, the page also delved into other intriguing topics. A deep dive into funeral expenses in northeastern Thailand revealed that costs could soar up to 300,000 baht, with significant sums allocated to monks and funeral workers. Additionally, a nurse's warning against bringing bells to hospitals, based on a harrowing experience, highlighted prevalent superstitious beliefs in medical settings. These diverse discussions underscore Thailand's evolving cultural landscape, blending centuries-old traditions with contemporary influences. From unique funeral customs to superstitions in hospitals, these stories reflect the rich tapestry of Thai cultural expressions, offering a fascinating glimpse into the nation's complex societal norms.
