Using a Thai Debit Card with Amazon
I find you get what you pay for, if you have any items shipped directly from Amazon via the global priority shipping you get full tracking information up to and including delivery - but you didn't pay for that, did you? -

Starmer Faces a Crucial Decision: Sack Reeves or Risk Political Collapse
Let's assume the effects of the budget are negative and that becomes increasingly apparent over time. What does that change? A vote of no confidence will still be doomed to failure. Do you really think that 18 months into this parliamentary session, the PLP will dump the leader who got them their seat? Maybe there might be the first mutterings of discontent, but - personal scandals aside - Starmer will not be gone this time next year. The Guardian and Mirror turning against Starmer: Maybe they will voice their discontent more loudly but they will not call for him to go that early in the parliamentary session. The King could dissolve Parliament. For what reason? Incompetence? In that case it begs the question why his mother didn't dissolve Parliament on more than one occasion over the past 14 years. Trump could deal with Farage and/or Truss instead of Starmer. To state the blindingly obvious, Farage and Truss are not in government. Truss is not even a MP! Neither has any power when it comes to passing legislation. Notwithstanding that, why would Trump not deal with Starmer? The UK may have lost what little influence it had with the US following the bone-headed decision to leave the EU, but why would Trump decide to undermine the government of an ally? Over a few 'hurty' words from Lammy? I know that Trump is thin-skinned but that's going to extremes. Anyway, you crack on with your fantasies to your heart's content. The rest of us will continue to live in the real world. -

DTV or retirement visa ?
hmm. your concerns are mostly based on the METV, while as I see it, the DTV represents a fundamental change of concept. the METV was for tourists to come and do touristy things, while the "digital nomad" type of DTV is explicitly for working remote. maybe it could be a good thing to come prepared with printouts of Immigration's webpages about DTV. If that fails, I also have my attorney's business card with me. -

I was absolutely mortified at what I witnessed yesterday.
If you are you are entitled to fail at trying to alter Thai society within your lifetime......but be careful not to tread on anyone's toes, it could end badly, more than one has come a cropper for trying to end corruption or trying to change the political arena. Societies systems and customs grow biologically, Thailand has lots of good laws in its books but if they aren't accepted by the people they are pointless, have you never seen policemen directing traffic in front of a school so that 12 year old kids without helmets can drive their motorbikes out of the school yard? It becomes accepted behaviour when the people say its OK, laughable to think a falang can change anything and why should they, they are here by choice. -

Lack of effective enforcement. It's a 200 baht fine for not wearing a helmet, and I'd say 80% of scooter riders in my area don't wear helmets. Even some Westerners. -

Far-right activists from Germany spent US election day at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
I can understand an American having strong feelings or emotions in JT's case, but not a non American. Tjats a whole different level of derangement syndrome
