People who support Cashless Society
It's not unusual, maybe not all 20b notes but certainly huge bundles of notes and bags of coins. -

non O based on marriage visa extension
I did a double take on that (working on a Type-O visa) , and then I recalled that those on a Type-O visa, are allowed to be employed in Thailand if they are married to a Thai citizen. Hopefully my recollection is correct. Be certain if going for an extension on your type-O visa to go for a marriage extension (based on being married to a Thai person). Note the approval process for a marriage extension can take a long time (compared to that of a retirement extension - where those on a retirement extension are NOT allowed to work in Thailand). So if you elect to go for an extension, apply as soon as it is possible/permitted to apply. And if my understanding is wrong here, I hope others chime in and correct me. -

Thailand Birth Rate Nosedives: 81% Drop Surpasses Japan
2.1 is the minimal reproduction rate ie it maintains a population at its current level. But, at some 8 billion people, the world shows economic & environmental signs that this is way beyond what it can sustain. And - for a range of cultural and environmental reasons - the world's population is slowly turning towards a steady downturn throughout the second half of this century. This will create all sorts of management & economic problems but they are not insoluble (AI anyone?) and, if managed sensibly, the world should be a better place ecologically at the end of the century and beyond. -

ICC Issues Arrest Warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant Over Alleged War Crimes
Since I subscribe the the WSJ, I can read the link. As I have said in another thread, in matters concerning Israel, the Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal is not trying to be truthful. For example, the Editorial Board alludes to Amnesty's citation of the casualty figures of the Gaza Health Ministry (now around 45K) against Netanyahu's claim fo 17K fighters killed to show that Israel has not killed that many civilians per combattant, but this is false logic. In the fog of war and the danger of searching for survivors with armed drones overhead, the real number of civilians killed is not known yet, while "body count" of combattants is subject to exaggeration. Apples and oranges. Another example is the Board's claim that Israel does not occupy Gaza. Under international law, by controlling Gaza's borders and sea access, Israel is considered an occupying power. (In this context, Egypt had been acting as an agent for Israeli control of the Rafah border crossing until May, when Israel took over the Philadelphi corridor). The Board tries again to pull the wool over readers' eyes when it claims that Amnesty is disingenuous to say that “this system of apartheid originated with the creation of Israel in May 1948”, while the occupation did not yet exist. Actually Amnesty's report covers apartheid as practiced in Israel as well as the Occupied Territories. It involves laws and practices in effect from before 1967. Practically every paragraph of the Editorial Board's piece contains some disinformation or fallacious argument. -

Teabags
I agree. The trick is to leave them in the cup for a while and you can actually get a half decent cup of tea (sometimes) -

Thailand police crackdown on pornographic content production
Almost certainly. These "Christian" organisations are likely same as those performing setups or exposes in bars in Pattaya and Phuket. Search "Exodus Road Truth". If they are truly protecting vulnerable minors then they should be supported. There is lots of counter commentary about their intentions and behaviours. DYOR and make your own mind up.
