LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
That is also my approach at present time (I also have an LTR-WP visa), where for year 2024-to-2026 or so, I have no plans to bring more money into Thailand, until it is more clear as to the Thai policy with the LTR visa and the need (or no need) in regards to tax returns. If not clear by ~2026 or so, then any income I bring in will be from funds saved from before 1-Jan-2024. What I have done is make a print / electronic copy of my financial position (equities/cash) dated 31-Dec-2023 at the close of business day, so that I can prove its credible that any money that I might bring into Thailand (likely bring in after year 2026) is from savings BEFORE 1-Jan-2024. I will keep those records. My hope is that NONE of this is necessary, and than in the next year or two it shall be more clear that no-income tax return will be needed for LTR-WP visa holders. I feel fortunate to have the luxury to be able to adopt this approach. -

Do you wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle in Thailand?
Guilty in smaller trips without helmet occasionally, but at once I bought my big bikes, it rarely happened even on scooters. I had full dainese protection, pants, boots and jacket while riding big bikes on tours. Coming from extreme sport environments, you know the rookies come for the freedom of doing ehat they want, with less safety equipment, but the longer you stay or survive in the sport, the more you take safety more serious, and use and do what you can to make sure you have top notch equipment. The less you know, and less you have seen, the more reckless you are. Newbie stupidity -

Prostate surgery user reviews .... turp? rezum? other ?
I had an enlarged prostate for about 10 years. I asked about Rezum (and others) but was told 'not available in Thailand back then. The bathroom visits eventually became hourly. Medications did not work, having spent 100,000's of baht over those 10 years on many different types as well as MRI's and even a biopsy once. Went to a urologist in Phuket last year and he began to tell me about this wonderful 'new' Rezum treatment. (I was already there for eye surgery.) I said 'book it Danno'. He looked into it, then apologised and said that he could not. My prostate was far too large. After another failed try of medicine and still no real sleep I said sod it. Take it out. (End of 2023.) I was not worried about most side affects as my wife died about 7 years ago. Had the operation - successful, which surprised the surgeon. Biggest prostate he had removed. One major problem though was they stuffed up the catheter insertion or removal - caused damage to the end of my urethra at the tip of the penis. Almost completely blocked/scarred. I could not urinate. Penis would swell up with urine and it just dribbled out. Multiple visits for a 'rebore' and in the end, the doc said, here are some catheters, save money and do it yourself. After about three months after the TURP, all good. Sleep has improved slightly. Now 2-3 hours between bathroom visits. I suspect some permanent damage after so many years of the enlarged prostate. I never sleep more than 6 hours anyway. Bladder control is OK but I would not impress anyone in the 'pizzing up the wall' contest. Some very attractive nurses 'attended' to me during my hospital stay and the rebores, but no reaction from the John Thomas. -

Songkhla: Neighbour Kills Siberian Husky, Throws Body Into Sea
I kept 4 chickens as pets in the UK, a dog broke into my garden 4x and killed one each time. After each kill the owner was asked to keep his dog on a lead, and he didn't. My children were devastated by their pets being killed. My son used to walk around the garden with one under his arm. Great pets, very friendly, would sit with us when we were in the garden. The last one was killed on our doorstep, desperately trying to get us to save her, we were out at the time. -

Is 1 million baht enough to retire in Thailand?
somehow that is not the image of retirement that I get... maybe become a monk? And please be careful riding a bicycle or walking down the stairs...
