I'm so depressed
Go to Ma & Pa shop, buy a mop and bucket. Now do the area outside your hotel room. I'm sure some work therapy will help you. It will be just like back home. Depressed in Pattaya, bet you could give an aspirin a headache. -

I'm so depressed
Wow, mate, what an unbelievable spellbinding journey. An amazing four weeks in Thailand, bravely fending off gangs of violent monkeys in Lopburi, being cruelly shunned by Pattaya’s top tier bar-slappers, and of course, launching a full scale legal battle against Bolt for the crime of sending you an ute instead of a luxury sedan. And then drinking your fat arse off with the locals at a bum-gun party. Absolutely gripping stuff. How ever did you survive all that love? What’s even more impressive is that you managed to pull off this entire adventure remotely, without ever leaving the janitor’s closet at that mental institution where you work in Australia, probably squeezing in your literary masterpiece between taking a dump, scrubbing toilets, and giving the old mop handle a good plunging up your bungholio. Let’s be honest, this is just another classic barbie-smith-style windup about tragedy in Thailand. A little mop jockey fan fiction to see if anyone will swallow your troll-bait. The only monkey you’ve had an actual confrontation with is your own reflection in a puddle of industrial strength floor cleaner. The only dark clouds hanging over you are the ones in your head. And let’s face it, the only real tragedy here is that pushing a floor mop around at a mental institution for $10 an hour isn’t quite the exotic adventure you wish it was. But hey, don’t let pesky reality get in the way of another childhood lunchtime knob-pulling fantasy. I’m sure there are still a few forum-fools left here who haven’t quite worked out your full scale windup invasion yet. Keep those updates coming there Janitor Dundee. We’re all dying to know what happens next when you dump all that grimy mop water down the drain, just like all your bad, made up dreams. -

Poverty Rates in the West
In 2023, the EU spent approximately 26.8% of its GDP on social protection benefits, which amounted to €4.583 trillion. The EU spends a pile of money with bad results. -

Thai Eateries Forgo Fees as Quake Hits Hard
It happened during the lunch rush on a Friday. Do you think a task force would be dedicated to track down every person in every restaurant across the nation that fled to safety without queuing up to pay their bill? And what would they do? Have police officers knocking on doors to interrogate the millions of suspects and threaten them with theft during a sudden national emergency? I was once a manager in a very upscale restaurant and the air conditioning went out in the summer during the lunch rush. The entire aircon unit on the roof overheated and broke because it was high noon during a heat wave. We were packed and on a wait. It got so hot so fast and the customers were so uncomfortable that me and the other manager, along with the waitstaff, went to each table apologizing for the experience, asking if there was anything else they needed, then comping the entire bill for each table and offering to pack up their food for take away if they wished leave and take it with them, or they were welcome to sit in the heat and we would give them as much ice water as they needed to cool off. Either way, no one had to pay. The average bill per person was roughly $25. I think we sat around 250 people. Yeah, the restaurant lost that money, along with the cost of a new massive aircon unit (central air), and had to close for two days before we could re-open. We also had to toss out a lot of our fresh meats and produce but were able to store some in nearby restaurants, if I recall. That was up to the kitchen management. Anyway, the point is that we didn’t notice any change in business when we reopened and we made up for the lost profits from comping the bills within a couple business days. It was just the decent thing to do and a smart business decision. And this was because the customers were inconvenienced and uncomfortably warm. Not because their lives were in jeopardy. Restaurant pay pennies on the dollar for the products that they serve and there is “spillage”. It’s an insignificant monetary loss compared to setting up a nationwide manhunt for a handful of people that ran to safety without paying for their unfinished Tom Yum Goong and Khao Pad Gai. Even mentioning it to a regular customer the next week and reminding them they have an unpaid bill would make you lose that customer forever and by word of mouth, if not media, your business would sink. Most likely leading to closure. CCTV of diners in an earthquake not paying their bill. Lol. -

Problems with submitting Tax Return
Of course they do. (which bank?) At Bangkok Bank and Krungsri, simply take your passbook(s) to the teller for the certificate. Takes 5 minutes to prepare. Are your remittances taxable here? If not assessable, you don't declare them. Check your DTA to confirm. Just go online, make an account, fill in your personal information, then fill in your PD 91 with bank tax info. Upload a photo of the bank certificate. Whole process takes 15 minutes at most. The online system will do the computations for you and will fill out the exemptions page as well. The online form is in Thai only. Other posters use chrome to translate. I cut 'n paste into google translate. Ah, you have a Thai friend who can help. https://efiling.rd.go.th/rd-efiling-web/login As long as you're going to the trouble, if you were a tax resident in prior years, you can do late returns for 2022 and 2023 and get refunds if you provide bank certificates (also available from your bank free of charge). Will cost you one 200-baht late filing fee. If you're coming up on the deadline and don't have the bank letter, go ahead and e-file. It will be accepted, but you'll get a text message in a week or so requesting the paper. You can upload later, at a different webpage. https://efiling.rd.go.th/rd-efiling-web/authen/MTA2 -

Take a deep dive. Pay up. And get some companionship. It will be your first step. DOn't be a cheapo.
