I Love Donald Trump
OMG, You vote for Trump and you don;t even know what he has said, what kind of empty promises Trump made. SHOCKING! Hear Trump: Trump vows to halve energy costs in 12 months. Few see that happening. (nbcnews.com) Here, read how Trump lied about gas prices: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/11/24/politics/fact-check-trump-gas-prices/index.html -

Effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in children and adolescents
Please explain why this is nonsense. I think many of us would like to hear. Do you think young healthy people needed to and still need to be vaccinated for SarsCov-2 with mRNA vaccines? It would also be interesting to see your reasoning as to why a person who does not want to take the mRNA vaccine is an anti-vaxxer. This of course was part of the demonising campaign and completely without merit. -

Help needed to understand some points of a farang buying a house in Thailand.
Legally there is not such thing as 30+30+30 years land lease. 30-years is the maximum limit. Renegotiating for another lease period is always with a risk of changes rent-price, and if owner continuring wants to rent out the land; the land can have been sold or transferred to a new owner during the initial lease period. Any agreement with with additional terms beyond the initial 30-years lease are not easily to legally enforceable, as the agreement is not registered and in principle illegal. The value of a house – and yes, a foreigner can own a house, but not the land under it – is what a rent for the same house would be during the remaining period of a lease agreement, minus some discount and loss of interest for prepayment. So if you bought a 4 million baht house including prepaid lease agreement, the rent would be somewhere between 8% and 12% per year. If using the lower end, it's 320,000 baht per year; perhaps only 300,000 with annual prepayment, which equals 25,000 baht per month. 15 years left – if the house is in a maintenance condition for 25,000 baht per month, the remaining value would be 15 x 300,000 = 4.5 million baht, minus prepayment discount and loss of interest, so likely somewhere below 4 million baht. But it depends on market-prices, location and demand, so can be both more and less; if it's in a remote Isaan-village, you might not be able to sell anything at all. If using someone else's land for building a house you'll need a superficies or like permission, and the building permission issued in only your name together with construction agreements and all bills and payments, to be a house owner. Usufruct is in principle for farming – harvesting the fruits of the land – so in a few places the land office will not register an usufruct to a foreigner for a small village land-plot. You can instead use right of habitation, which gives you similar rights and free habitation. Don't forget that both usufruct- and habitation-right run for maximum 30 years or for life. In Thailand it's often best to be worth more alive than dead... -

Car recommendations
The reason you might not have noticed is likely due to the negligible difference in size. However, I've provided a detailed comparison below, courtesy of my AI assistant. Comparison of the Thai MG ZS 2024 and Toyota Yaris Cross 2024. Specification MG ZS 2024 Toyota Yaris Cross 2024 Length 4,314 mm 4,310 mm Width 1,809 mm 1,770 mm Height 1,624 mm 1,615 mm Wheelbase 2,585 mm 2,620 mm Ground Clearance 165 mm 210 mm Boot Space 448 liters 390 liters Summary of Key Points Dimensions: The MG ZS is slightly larger overall, providing more boot space, making it ideal for carrying more cargo. Ground Clearance: The Yaris Cross has a significant advantage with 210 mm, making it better suited for Thailand's flooded roads and rough terrains compared to the MG ZS's 165 mm. Wheelbase: The Yaris Cross features a longer wheelbase of 2,620 mm, compared to the MG ZS's 2,585 mm. A longer wheelbase often translates to improved ride comfort, better stability at high speeds, and enhanced handling during turns. It also allows for more interior space, contributing to rear legroom and passenger comfort, which is particularly beneficial for families or long journeys. Underfloor Storage: The Yaris Cross includes a practical underfloor storage compartment, enhancing utility for everyday items. In contrast, the MG ZS does not emphasize this feature but offers a larger boot space overall. Conclusion If you prioritize handling varied terrain and flooding conditions, along with improved passenger comfort, the Yaris Cross is the better option. However, the MG ZS provides more cargo capacity, making it suitable for those who require extra space for everyday use. -

Teenage Husband Attacks Dorm in Dramatic Search for Wife
The problem is that in the urban areas, parents have a lack of education, and no one has the time to help these kids. I am willing to bet that his parents are looking after the child, not him, and that is the part that is Thai normal out of all this. Getting her home to be with the child is a ruse; he wanted his wife home with him, period. I would like to know if she was going to college or something, and that is why she was in a dorm and not with him. She may have been trying to better herself, and jealousy and worry crept into his immature brain. That or a friend snitched on her. -

Options for extra education?
You can explore international schools in Bangkok, as some offer extra courses for non-pupils, such as Bangkok Patana's STEM program or NIST's weekend courses. Online platforms, such as free essay examples or websites offering help for students on different topics, can also provide Western-standard education. For more resources, get info here. I hope you will find a training program that will be effective for you.
