DNA Analysis Uncovers Grisly Details of Doomed Arctic Expedition
I don't take your comments seriously. You have no evidence the Innuit are or were cannibals. Or that they even discovered the bodies. The Uruguayans had to turn to cannibalism to survive high in the Andes. They later on got a special papal dispensation as they were Catholics. It obviously troubled them deeply what they did, but found forgiveness. Bears and wolves don't use knives to cut up their prey. Somebody did. And the cut marks were found on a jaw bone. So, what's your theory? Just groundlessly accuse the native people who lived on a healthy diet of seal and fish, and we're adept at surviving in that environment without eating each other? Rather than desperate Europeans who were completely unable to fend for themselves in such a harsh environment? -

CIMB bank
CIMB Thai is a Thai bank whose shares are majority owned by the parent Malay bank. It's a solid bank but they offer products that they will only make available to Thai people. regardless of how much money you have on deposits with them. That was why I moved from CIMB to UOB. -

Pre-paid Credit Card
I've got a credit card in the US but if I make local purchases I get hit with international transaction fees. I'd like to obtain one of those pre-deposit, M/C or Visa credit card from a Thai bank to make local purchases. I can tie up 100K THB as a deposit for a 100K THB credit limit which is way more than I'll ever need. What I don't want it a bank which insists on holding double the deposit of the credit limit. What banks in Thailand will issue a credit card with these deposit/credit limits to a farang with a yellow house book, pink ID, Tax-ID, married to a Thai woman, who came into Thailand originally on a Non-B visa (now I just stay on marriage extensions). -

Thailand Eyes Tax Revamp to Support Ageing Population’s Needs
Thailand finds itself at a crucial juncture as it confronts the financial implications of an ageing population. Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat underscores the urgency for a revamped tax structure to tackle future expenses. Central to this endeavour is the exploration of a negative income tax (NIT) system aimed at supporting low-income citizens below a government-defined threshold. The country, which first crossed into an ageing society status in 2005, now sees its 60-and-older demographic swelling to 20% of its populace—a significant 13 million people. As Thailand edges towards the aged society category, the government acknowledges that existing welfare systems must be reconsidered to prevent budgetary strain. Julapun revealed that the NIT proposal is in its infancy, but its eventual implementation could reshape financial assistance. The scheme promises aid to those who fall below current taxation thresholds, including reforming how income is measured and modifying existing revenue laws to accommodate the system. Despite the potential benefits, the journey to NIT realisation remains extensive. Initial steps involve an inclusive tax system where everyone, irrespective of current taxable income, participates. Discussions with the Fiscal Policy Office and Revenue Department are ongoing to determine how NIT might replace some welfare measures, possibly phasing out the state welfare card programme to streamline support. With an eye on international frameworks, Julapun assures that thorough studies will guide the cabinet’s decision-making. As Thailand navigates this demographic tide, such tax reforms offer a strategic pathway to bolstering its welfare mechanisms, ensuring sustainable support for its ageing citizens.

What are you having for Dinner tonight?
A first for me, Smoked Salmon. Can't say there will be a 2nd time. Wife not a fan either. Not a bagel fan, prefer Croissants. Also prefer without the salmon. Just cream cheese & black currant jelly on the other half. Good thing the dog likes the salmon, as she'll be eating the rest. Hey, it was sale at Makro for 399 vs 690. Figured why not ... now I know -

Proof, as if it was needed, that the UK has no decent future as long as the red tories and the blue tories have everything sewn up so only they and their friends can benefit.
