LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
Re: the 60 days - its also easier said than done to get a Thai tax ID#. As I have posted before, my Thai wife tried to get such earlier for me this year, and did not succeed. My case is I have an LTR visa, I have only brought money into Thailand BEFORE 1-Jan-2024 (and not since), and my income source is outside of Thailand. A local Revenue Department official was quite clear that if I did not bring income into Thailand (from outside of the country) I did not have to file a tax return at present time, so he would NOT activate a Thai tax ID# for me. My wife noted I am on an LTR visa and she suggested I may wish to bring foreign income (pensions) into the country in the future. So would I thus need a Thai tax ID? The Thai official noted he saw no need for me to have a Thai tax ID (since I had not brought money into Thailand) and further he noted that he never heard of an LTR visa, and that he would call back - which he never did (this was months ago). From this I deduce there appears to be some 'fuzziness' around the enforcement of the '60-day' requirements, and even the local tax offices don't know yet all the details. I suspect it may be even sometime after November this year - before there is a more clear guidance on this tax return submission (and hence Thai tax ID) situation. -

Joe Rogan releases podcast with Trump, draws 300K views in 30 minutes
Ah yes, the puerile "Michelle's a man" trope that still keeps the MAGA cohort rolling in the aisles after all these years. Simple minds... not just a great Scottish rock band anymore. Of course Musk's X is going to take down any tweet that dissembles on Trump's gross incompetence. So moving right along, here she is. Enjoy. -

Addiction
I was in a similar position some years ago after breaking my neck in a car accident in Germany. Stay calm you have already started the process and soon you will be Tramadol free, it's not easy but will most likely not be as bad as you fear. You do need a bit of fortitude, so be happy with your decrease today, allow yourself some time to adjust to the decreased dosage, but also begin to focus on how happy you will feel when Tramadol free. There are two issues you are facing - the mental and the physical. It sounds like you have the motivation for the mental part - but please be aware that Tramadol does mimic some antidepressants, so as you taper down be aware of your mood and feelings. Your body is physically dependent on Tramadol, the main reason you need to taper down. Unfortunately, this is more difficult here than in Germany. In Germany you can get drops - liquid Tramadol - and you can literally decrease by a single mg. I do not believe liquid Tramadol is available here, though I am not 100% sure - perhaps @Sheryl can advise? That means you are stuck with the capsules (50mg each) or Ultracet (37.5mg). Superficial research suggests you should not split an Ultracet pill in half - again perhaps @Sheryl can advise, that's a pity as it is easier to taper into ever decreasing amounts. But if you have the will - and it sounds like you do - you've go this. You've already started, so well done. Take it slowly - that's the most important thing. Taper will most likely be a bit up and down during periods of decrease. You will have good days and bad. Make a plan - maybe 3 pills for a week or more, then swap the middle one for a slightly weaker Ultracet; then go down to 2 Ultracet+one capsule etc etc). Stick to your plan, but do not be afraid to stay at 3 pills (or 2 or 1 etc) a bit longer if you need. But also keep focusing on your end goal to keep yourself motivated and determined. I found it a little difficult to adjust but it was not nearly as bad as I feared. Allow yourself to feel happy that you have got to 3 pills already, build your mental strength and then go down to 2. Slowly, steadily and you'll be fine. Best wishes. -

Watch Trump speak and then watch Harris. You will see that Trump is far more presidential. Word-salad Harris has a scared "fish out of water" look to her and rambles on saying literally nothing.- 1

Trump ahead in all battleground states - ALL OF THEM!
Far right is more freedom and less government leaning toward anarchy. Far left is less freedom and more government control leaning toward total government control. -
