Why some of us did not get COVID symptoms …even though we were exposed.
Why are there so many fat kids today compared to when we were kids? Nobody seems to want to change their diet and dog forbid they get up off their fat a$$es and go for a walk. But of course, doing it for the chillllllldren is the best way to try to shame us….so fat slobs here on the forum can continue on with their gluttonous lifestyles. I see them on the “where’s the best pizza” threads…or writing restaurant reviews on google…even during the pandemic. Or they’re on the health forum looking for that next pill/injection they can take in order to party on. Ozempic anybody? The people howling the loudest for us to get vaccinated for their protection were the people who didn’t take responsibility for their health in the past. This is the blowback for all the people who tried to force, shame and belittle us into taking a jab on their behalf. Own it. -

Thaksin’s Words Not Policy-Binding, Says PM Paetongtarn
Picture courtesy: National News Bureau of Thailand In a recent statement, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra clarified that remarks made by her father, Thaksin Shinawatra, regarding government policies may not necessarily translate into action. Addressing reporters at Government House, Paetongtarn emphasised that while her father, a former prime minister, is entitled to express his views openly, his statements should not be misconstrued as official government directives. Paetongtarn underscored that all government policies require formal approval from her cabinet before implementation. Her comments seem aimed at dispelling rumours that the Pheu Thai-led coalition government will directly adopt Thaksin's personal perspectives, particularly on topics like energy management and electricity pricing, to ease economic difficulties faced by citizens. During a recent political rally, Thaksin had suggested that electricity prices could be reduced to 3.70 THB per unit. The current rate stands at 4.42 THB per unit, and Energy Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga previously proposed a decrease to 4.15 THB per unit. Paetongtarn's current stance hints that her administration is evaluating these proposals independently of her father's past suggestions. Paetongtarn also addressed speculation about an impending cabinet reshuffle, asserting that she has no immediate plans to alter her cabinet makeup, despite persistent rumours. Such speculation has been fuelled by expectations of changes post the upcoming censure debate in March. Particularly under scrutiny is Energy Minister Pirapan, who leads the Ruam Thai Sang Chart and might face ousting or reassignment. This speculation arises due to perceived alignment between Thaksin’s party, Pheu Thai, and major energy stakeholders, potentially conflicting with Pirapan's stance on energy policy reform. Questions about Thaksin's influence on energy policy concern his associations with industry leaders like Gulf Energy Development CEO Sarath Ratanavadi and PTT CEO Kongkrapan Intarajang. These relationships have led to conjectures about the government prioritising energy moguls’ interests over the minister's directives. Despite her familial ties, Paetongtarn distinguishes herself from her father's administration, indicating a potential shift in policy-making processes. Her leadership style and strategic partnerships within the cabinet seem set on charting a distinct course from previous Shinawatra-led administrations. As the political landscape continues to evolve, Paetongtarn maintains her focus on steering the government through its agenda, ensuring that policy actions are derived from collective cabinet deliberations rather than external influences, familial or otherwise. This stance is likely aimed at reassuring both domestic and international audiences of the integrity and independence of her administration’s decision-making processes. reported Thai Newsroom -- 2025-01-07 -

Tax Deducted from Savings Account
If your bank cooperates when you have a Thai tax ID, they will not withhold the 15%. None of my banks (SCB, Kasikorn, Bangkok and Krungsri) take any withholding from my interest payments. The first 20,000 of interest income is exempt from tax. Amounts above that exemption are taxed at the tax rate applicable according to your annual income. Bangkok bank will always withhold the 15% from fixed deposit accounts even if you have a Thai tax ID on file with them.
