Trump’s Middle East Challenge: Balancing Crisis and Strategy in a Region on Edge
Most of the lack of stability in M.E. has been created by the dictatorships aggressively supressing the Arab Spring. Plus of course the US invasion or Iraq thoroughly upset the apple cart. Syrian "liberation" forces who were channelled to Idlib Province during the civil war have now defeated Assad forces within a ten day period and occupied Damascus (you will want not to be an Alawite or Christian enabler of Assad still in Syria). Have to see if the so called rebels are able to keep their word and not transition from the oppressed to the oppressor. The Russian military bases on the coast appear to have yet to be overrun, though it has been reported Russian navy ships have departed Tartus, have to see if Russia withdraws all it's forces or fights. Interesting days ahead to see if trump is actually able to bring some stability and peace to current conflicts. Personally I don't believe just waving the big stick will be effective. -

Living in Thailand is very cheap?
I'd rather talk with other guys, women don't have that much to say that I want to hear. And I get tired of hearing their obvious pleas for a bigger house, new car or more money, which is essentially all you will hear from most of them. -

Thai lawyer argues most expats won’t be impacted by personal income tax
I think the NAV on that date is irrelevant in the case of stock capital gains. -

Visit to get tax ID and disabled certificate today- Waste of time.
I am on an LTR visa. To qualify for the LTR I used a condo purchase from almost a decade ago as proof of my investment in Thailand, together with foreign pension income, where I don't bring that foreign income into Thailand. Prior to being on the LTR visa, I was on a Type-OA, and later a Type-O visa. I did not want to bother with the 65K THB/month approach for the annual extension , so I simply put 800k THB in a Thai bank and promptly forgot about that money until annual extension time came around. I was not interested / concerned about low interest on such a (for me) trivial amount. Apologies if that (forgetting about the 800k) appears elitist, or harsh (for those who are stunned anyone would put 800k THB in a low interest bearing Thai bank account). I worked hard and saved money all my life, and now that I am retired I am fortunate to have the benefits of that being ... relatively trivial. As for living, I have been gradually, legally, been moving money into Thailand since year 2005, increasing the amount in 2016 up to year 2023, when I stopped bringing money in. I plan to now wait and see how the tax return requirements pan out. Life is too short to worry about such so I will take a conservative approach.- 1

John Winston Lennon
Remember it vividly, reading the headline in the very small Princeton NJ airport, as I use to catch a plane to work there, most days of the week, as the drive sucked to EWR. First thing that hit me at 0600 (9 Dec), as I walked into the small terminal. Only had about three 8 passenger flights a day to EWR then. -
