Good crash helmet
I would go to BKK Speed (couple locations in Bangkok and try the Shoei there. Personally I was in the US and was checking out the Neotec 3, but it was just too heavy. I ended up with an RF1400. I don't think that is available here, but they have lots of good choices. Not sure if Shark is Snell or ECE rated, but that is an important consideration. You only have onehead. -

Elon Musk Advocates for Tommy Robinson’s Release Amid Criticism of UK Leadership
These are two separate cases. Refusing to support Yaxley Lennon does not mean one supports the abuse that occurred. Yaxley Lennon is attempting to use the Pakistani grooming gangs as a means of rehabilitating his image. He is the last person who should be involved in the case. There are multiple honest and ethical people already involved far better placed to see the changes needed through. There was already an initiative to address the issue and it was not because of the football hooligan who some are holding out as the initiator of the review. On the contrary, he is riding the tailcoats of those who have been following up on the subject. The sad reality is that no one has agreed to implement the necessary changes that were identified in the 2022 report. There is no need for additional inquiries, because the 2022 report already identified the responsible parties and identified the deficiencies that allowed the abuse to occur. More inquiries will delay the need for immediate decisive changes. Why aren't the changes being implemented? If there was genuine concern in the Conservative or Reform caucuses, they would be demanding the implementation of the changes. The Lib Dems and Labour are just as guilty and worse are the independent MPs who have resisted the changes. (Ask Jeremy Corbyn and his friends like Galloway why they have not supported the. changes.) Prof Alexis Jay, the former chair of a national inquiry into child sexual abuse, has called for the "full implementation" of reforms set out in her 2022 report, which warned of "endemic" abuse across society in England and Wales. A campaign group chaired by Prof Jay, called Act on IICSA, said ministers must commit to a "clear timeline" to adopt the recommendations laid out by the Independent Inquiry Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). The IICSA national inquiry was set up in 2015 and carried out 15 investigations, including into grooming gangs and abuse in schools and church settings. Prof Jay had previously led a landmark local inquiry into widescale abuse in Rotherham, where it was estimated 1,400 children were exploited between 1997 and 2013, predominantly by men of Pakistani heritage. The IICSA's final report was published in 2022 and set out 20 recommendations it said were necessary to reduce child suffering. They included setting up a national child protection authority, implementing tighter controls on who can work with vulnerable children, legislating to force tech firms to take stronger action over online abuse material and making not reporting abuse a criminal offence. Prof Jay said: has previously said she was "frustrated" at the previous Conservative government's lack of progress in adopting the recommendations, and described its response as "weak", which the Home Office disputed at the time. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8xl4d3m81o What's another inquiry going to achieve when we all know what the issues are? For example, one of the rapists who should have been deported, was allowed to remain because of the hardship it would cause his children. In what diseased Fed up world is that an appropriate excuse? No inquiry is going to change the fact that the rapist could make that case. Worse still is that there are people who will disrupt a flight that is deporting such a person. It is all part of the idiocy that has allowed 36,000 illegal migrants to cross the channel and to then collect social benefits. -

Revenue Department boss calls on tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31
Yep. I will start taking this seriously when I receive an official notification to pay by the authorities. To me, this seems so unlikely that I almost want it to happen so I can see how they managed to do it (and only then will I start considering alternative options). A farang I know recently packed up and left the country because of this, reluctantly. I repeatedly told him not to get uptight, as IMO the likelihood of this actually happening is extremely low. Once the Thai authorities are faced with the mountain of complexities and difficulties it entails, coupled with the bad image for the country and actual loss of revenue from expats (the opposite effect of what they want), they will probably sweep it under the carpet… "But the law has been enacted!", he said. "Yes, now let's see if they actually apply it", I retorted, but he wouldn't have it… until his final week where he started having regrets as he realised that beyond the dozens of hours of talking (mostly done by farangs), nothing is actually happening. I was at the immigration office a couple of months ago, no signs, no leaflets, no staff telling anyone about anything related to it… (This last point is important because all the farangs I have heard talking about it interpret it as "pay tax or leave", i.e. you won't be able to renew your visa… In a way it reminds me of the hordes of people who were adamant that getting the Covid vaccine would be required for a visa, which of course didn't even remotely begin to materialise in any shape or form). Relax, it most likely isn't going to happen, don't do anything and it will go away. -
