Thailand’s Oscars entry is taking the world by storm.
Probably worth a watch. Thailand’s Oscars entry is taking the world by storm. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/how-to-make-millions-before-grandma-dies-netflix-oscars-uk-release-b2667730.html Thai blockbuster How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, one of the 15 films shortlisted under the International Feature Film category at the Oscars, will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland next week. The only Southeast Asian film shortlisted in its category, How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies has been a hit both at the domestic box office and with critics. Grossing an estimated $78.3m worldwide, the film has become the highest-grossing Thai film of 2024 and eleventh-highest of all time in the country even, as well as breaking box office records in other Asian countries. -

Teenager’s Mercedes Crashes onto Six-Wheeler in Miraculous Escape
Perhaps not knowing 'knowing' is worse when being critical of the intellect of others. Cultural differences play a role here - parents allow their 16 year old children to ride motorcycles etc, some the UK countries also allow this - which seems madness to me. At the very least, this young man was driving a car, which offered some degree of protection. Yet the greater concern, one seemingly ignored by the parents, is the potential danger posed to innocent bystanders. The issue here isn’t a lack of love for their child but rather a profound absence of foresight, responsibility, and accountability. It often astonishes me how often I witness 'the tail wagging the dog' - where weak parenting fosters youngsters who, having been spoiled and rarely told "no," grow accustomed to doing whatever they please without consequence. -

Proof of address?
Not sure when immigration relocated from soi 8 Beach Road to Jomtien soi 5. I do remember visiting the soi 8 office early 2000's. -

This legal concept really ought be revisited in this context. As I have pointed out, it's impossible for many people to spend literally days reading through every T&C that applies to them. Moreover, not having a digital presence is increasingly becoming a necessity rather than a luxury. So I think it's fair to say that people are increasingly pressured to click the 'I agree' checkbox when, in fact: a) They may not agree with the entirety of the T&Cs and b) They simply do not have the time to read through pages and pages of legalise and, given that legalise is actualy quite hard to understand and can be quite misleading if interpreted as regular English, they may not understand it anyway. Caveat emptor harks from a far, far simpler time in history. It is an outmoded concept in the digital age on account of impractability and potential corporate abuse. -

Thai Virologist Dismisses Norovirus Outbreak 'Fake News'
Why would you need links for events that are widely reported. The number is now 3 cruise ships and 300+ passengers & crew. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2024-12-20/norovirus-sickens-hundreds-on-three-cruise-ships-cdc The reason why cruise ships infectious illness outbreaks are known is because they are now reportable. Previously, such occurrences did not have to be made public. We can thank the US CDC for requiring that level of disclosure. The Cruise industry has tried for years to have the reporting requirement reversed. These outbreaks are not spontaneous. They occur because infected people board the cruise ships and infect people. In most cases, the passengers know that they are sick, but still board anyway. Many infectious diseases are imported to a geographic zone by foreigners. This is a known fact and it happens whenever a domestic population is "disrupted" by foreign agents. Covid as a mass infection was first identified in the Koh Samui area and was prevalent amongst the European tourists who were visiting Thailand. They in turn infected other Europeans who brought the disease back to their homelands. The local Thai service industry staff, who were infected, carried the disease to their home areas. A more brutal illustration was the 2013 cholera outbreak in Haiti. Nepalese UN personnel were cholera carriers and their sewage waste contaminated the community where they were billeted. Because an illness is not reported or is under reported does not mean that it does not exist or is not present. We are currently seeing a resurgence of Covid infections, Flu and RSV. in western nations. The infections will be transported to vacation destinations by infected visitors. -

Thai Baht Expected to Slide to 35.50 per Dollar by 2025
There are a number of factors involved. Under the IMFs Managed Floating Peg, BOT has the option to intervene or not, based on the country's economic need. But BOT also has to model the chances that any intervention will be successful or whether it will only be temporary and as a consequence, a waste of money in the longer term, in which case it may elect not to intervene and merely go with the flow. You mention a better rate last May or June, against which currency, GBP or USD? The value of THB against USD is fairly straight forward, the above managed peg notwithstanding. But even against USD, it is entirely possible to have different exchange rates at different times, despite the USD value being the same, based on BOT's decision to intervene or not. And of course, the value of THB against GBP uses three currencies to arrive at an effective exchange rate, this means USD may be stronger whilst GBP is weaker, the net of which could easily give a different rate, at a different time, despite USD value being lower/or stronger. And finally of course is the strength or weakness of the Thai economy and the view markets have of it going forward. If that changes when all other factors are equal, the exchange rate will once again be different from what it was earlier. -
