Heavy rain and flash floods expected as storm Trami intensifies
The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) issued a warning about the intensifying tropical storm Trami, which is expected to bring heavy rainfall to lower northern, central, eastern, and upper southern regions, including Bangkok and its vicinity. Residents are advised to be cautious of flash floods and forest runoffs. The TMD predicts that the monsoon trough will move across the lower central, upper southern, and eastern regions. Coupled with easterly and southeasterly winds bringing moisture from the South China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, this will lead to heavy rains in the lower northern, central, and eastern regions, as well as in Bangkok and its surrounding areas. People in these regions should be vigilant against heavy rain and accumulated rainfall, which may cause sudden floods and forest runoffs, particularly in foothill areas near waterways and low-lying regions. Additionally, residents are advised to take care of their health due to changing weather conditions. Moderate sea waves are expected in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, with waves reaching 1 to 2 metres in the Andaman Sea and about 1 metre in the Gulf of Thailand. In areas with thunderstorms, waves may exceed 2 metres. Mariners in these areas should exercise caution and avoid sailing in regions with thunderstorms. The tropical depression east of the Philippines has strengthened into tropical storm Trami and is expected to move into the upper South China Sea in the next couple of days. The northern region will experience thunderstorms in 60% of the area, with heavy rain in some places, particularly in Mae Hong Son, Tak, and Kamphaeng Phet provinces. The lowest temperatures will range from 22°C to 24°C, while the highest will be between 31°C and 33°C. Easterly winds will blow at speeds of 10 to 15 kilometres per hour. The northeastern region will see thunderstorms covering 40% of the area, mostly in Nakhon Phanom, Sakon Nakhon, Mukdahan, Yasothon, Amnat Charoen, Nakhon Ratchasima, Buriram, Surin, Sisaket, and Ubon Ratchathani provinces. Temperatures will range from 23°C to 24°C at the lowest to 32°C to 33°C at the highest, with easterly winds at 10 to 20 kilometres per hour. Storm Trami In the central region, 60% of the area will experience thunderstorms, with heavy rain expected in Kanchanaburi, Ratchaburi, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Nakhon Pathom, Samut Sakhon, and Samut Songkhram provinces. Temperatures will range from 24°C to 26°C at the lowest to 32°C to 34°C at the highest, with easterly winds at 10 to 20 kilometres per hour. The eastern region will have thunderstorms in 60% of the area, with heavy rain in some places, notably in Nakhon Nayok, Prachin Buri, Chachoengsao, Chon Buri, Rayong, Chanthaburi, and Trat provinces. Temperatures will range from 24°C to 26°C at the lowest to 32°C to 34°C at the highest, with variable winds blowing at 15 to 30 kilometres per hour. The sea will have waves about 1 metre high, and in areas with thunderstorms, waves may exceed 2 metres. The southern region (east coast) will experience thunderstorms in 40% of the area, with heavy rain in Phetchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan provinces. The lowest temperatures will be between 23 and 26°C, and the highest will range from 31 to 34°C. Variable winds will blow at speeds of 15 to 30 kilometres per hour, with sea waves about 1 metre high, and over 2 metres in areas with thunderstorms. The southern region (west coast) will see thunderstorms in 20% of the area, mostly in Ranong and Phang Nga provinces. Temperatures will range from 23 to 26°C at the lowest to 32 to 34°C at the highest. From Phang Nga upwards, southwesterly winds will blow at speeds of 15 to 35 kilometres per hour, with sea waves 1 to 2 metres high and over 2 metres in areas with thunderstorms. From Phuket downwards, northwesterly winds will blow at speeds of 15 to 30 kilometres per hour, with sea waves about 1 metre high and over 2 metres in areas with thunderstorms, reported KhaoSod. Bangkok and its vicinity will have thunderstorms in 70% of the area, with heavy rain in some places. Temperatures will range from 25 to 26°C at the lowest to 33 to 34°C at the highest, with easterly winds at 10 to 20 kilometres per hour. by Bright Choomanee Picture courtesy of Tom De Decker, Unsplash Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-10-22 -

Comparisons Between Trump and Dictators Spark Backlash: Atlantic Article Under Fire
As we approach the national election in the USA with all its discord, purposeful misinformation and right out documented lies, it is understandable that all of us US citizens feel disheartened. I ask those of you, disheartened as I am that such a person as Donald J. Trump would ever be considered as worthy of representing the United States of America, to step back, put on the critical thinking cap and consider … I certainly understand and agree with the justified frustration/anger within the working middle class (most certainly Trump and his ilk are not the answer). The fact that such a reprehensible person could even be considered by so many should raise a serious question in your mind and in the minds of all … he is only able to have support because citizens, in their analysis believe that the continuing policies/actions of both major political parties have failed to address the very real issues facing us. Thus, far too many are open to even considering a person of such low character and capabilities. Again, Trump has a well documented history and is no where near the answer to our current critical point in history but … there is a very serious consideration for all. While both parties can be faulted, there is a difference critical to our future … the current Trump party must be soundly defeated, and then … if the Democrats do not see the writing on the wall and try to continue to “squeeze by” … I call for them too to be soundly dismissed in the next elections in two years. -

Cold buses?
True for the usual "inter provincial buses". The first time I used one I wasn't prepared. It was one of the coldest rainy mornings that you can imagine. Entering the bus and the AC is full blowing. At that time I was naive enough to ask the attendant about it. "Is not >possible< to change". Had to grab for blankets/pillows etc to survive. I rarely use buses and the Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya were not that crazy frozen. -

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
@vinny41 The purpose of my asking you to research it was to encourage you to research & post in a balanced way. It's only too easy to cherry pick and post only what furthers your general stance, I'm as guilty as anyone. But I think it's important we balance what we post as it stops the back and forth bickering. -

And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal
As for sunset views - here are a couple of views I took from my condo balcony. One is sunset. The other is moon set. Pretty amazing I think. (My camera is a 'cheap' Nikon CoolPix P900 bridge camera). -

Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance
There really isn't a change for Thais earning abroad, apart from they are going to be investigating large companies who formerly used the loophole to save millions in tax. Most foreigners who work here should be able to read Thai, or have an accountant to help. No change for them anyway. Retirees should stay under the radar, unlike one guy I know who foolishly went to the RD and volunteered his foreign pension. There are news sources spreading fear for readers and probably getting sponsored by lawyers and accountancy firms who are licking their lips in anticipation of all the newbie pensioners afraid of their own shadow in Thailand. -
