Indian Tourists Spark Outrage for Littering into Sea at North Pattaya Beach
Throwing bottles into the sea is plain stupidity. The glass bottles can break on the pebbles and then someone could get seriously injured if they stand on the broken glass. -

So I employed a Thai plumber ...
We've had 2 contractors we would use again - our *2nd* electrician and the team that installed all of our fiber cement soffits and ceilings. Excellent. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
The loan could be from a third-party in Thailand, rent could even been paid directly to the landlord by someone else. I know people in Thailand mainly locals who have their rent directly paid by their parents/relatives/friends/boss. -

iCon Fraud Unveiled: Lessons in Greed and Hard Truths
The main thing that Bitcoin, pyramid and Ponzi schemes, and the iCon scheme have in common is greed. Wanting to make a fast buck. There is nothing whatever behind Bitcoin, so it relies on supply and demand. Initial the value was set low, the supply was low, so demand caused a dramatic increase in value, over time from 20c to $60,000. Anyone who got in early and sold out early will have made a lot of money. But now demand is slowing down, and maybe drying up. In the early days people easily made 10x or 100x their investment, but those days are gone. It makes no sense that someone buying in at $60,000 will make 10x their investment. Maybe 10% if they are both patient and lucky. I very much doubt that any current Bitcoin holders bought in at 20c, but there must be investors still in there for whom the price could fall substantially and they will still make money. The proble is those who bought in recently at a high price. If demand dops and prices start to fall, some will keep their cool but some will panic and sell at a loss. That will fuel a further dop in price, and the bubble could very easily burst. How you think it has a "true value" I have no idea. -

So I employed a Thai plumber ...
We had pipes put below the flooring. I would not do it again. Despite that I H*TE seeing the plumbing on the walls, I would now run the pvc pipes from the outside to inside the house where they're needed, lie Simon says (ha, no pun intended, but accepted!). Find some way to conceal them while still be able to get at them. Oh, have a AAC block with concrete skim all around. Pipes in cement are dependent on the stability of the earth below and the foundation that's sitting on it. If either shift or crack, then pipes go with them. Copper would be the only way to go then and I would not do that in Thailand, given the roulette wheel of getting a contractor that knows what they're doing. -

British woman injured by boat propeller on Similan Islands
They could be fit over night. But, IMO the ‘greed’ is a factor here… get a many tourists as possible - no matter the risks to them. It’s that time of year when we’re due another boat capsize due untrained / unqualified / unregistered captains. -
