What are the downsides of a Wise card
About 3 years old? Galalaxy A53 5G. It's not about the age of the phone. And I still receive the latest security updates from Samsung. So your assumption not correct. It's about not having all one's information on one single device. No amount of software security will prevent physical loss of one's phone. Multiple phones is also not a good solution as there are other considerations. And as already pointed out on this thread, one can make payments with a physical debit card that one can not make with a virtual card on one's phone. I recommend any one who can get such a physical debit card - do get one. And don't be sidetracked by claims that a virtual card is equivalent in functionality for everything. A virtual card has limitations. -

US Visa for Thai Citizen - Do they have an Undisclosed Quota.
It's not misguided and arrogant at all. It's based on reality. An absolutely enormous percentage of the world's population would go to the U.S. if they could, because they know it's a place uniquely easy to start a new life and succeed. Even if you're there illegally. There is no other country like it in human history in this respect. It's totally absurd that it's "discriminatory against Thais." The great majority of Thais who apply receive visas -- how is that RACIST? AND -- many Thais have shown what they'll do if given the chance -- something like 400K Thais in the U.S., only a small percentage of whom emigrated legally. MOST of the Thais I know who have some sort of ties to the U.S., when you really talk about who went there and how, somebody overstayed a visa or did it through a sham marriage. If anything, the Embassy isn't being tough enough, looking at the facts. Again, feel free to suggest a better system. Again, feel free to describe how the Embassy is RACIST!!!!! Or you can just keep repeating that (I can guess what you'll do). -

Thai Wood Species -ไม้กัลเกลา (Gan Glow)
(1) I believe you probably misspelt the name, and it's กันเกรา. (2) Its common English name is tembusu. (3) Wikipedia has an article on tembusu that states "The trunk of this tree can produce very hard wood that can be used to make chopping boards and floors. The wood can last over a hundred years, as it is not consumed by termites and weevils." -

Bangkok to Revamp Rubbish Fees, Push for Sorting by June
File photo: Wikipedia In a landmark move to tackle the mounting waste problem in Bangkok, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is planning to revise its garbage collection fees by June next year. This initiative is designed to incentivise residents to sort their waste, a crucial step toward more effective waste management. On October 30, the city council made a decisive move by approving a new draft ordinance concerning garbage collection fees. With a unanimous vote of 34-0, as reported by Deputy Governor Jakkapan Phiewngam, the ordinance is poised to replace the existing flat rate once it's published in the Royal Gazette, set to become effective in 180 days. The current flat rate of 80 baht per household, seen as inequitable by the administration, will be scrapped in favour of a more nuanced fee structure. "It’s not just about collecting fees, but encouraging households to take responsibility for their waste," noted Jakkapan. Under the proposed system, households generating less than 20 litres or four kilogrammes of waste daily will be charged 20 baht monthly if they sort their rubbish. Those choosing not to sort will face a steeper monthly fee of 60 baht. For households producing between 20 litres and one cubic metre or 200kg of waste daily, the fee will be 120 baht per 20 litres each month. However, the heavy producers, generating over one cubic metre or 200kg, will incur costs of 8,000 baht per cubic metre. The administration is setting up a framework for households to follow, promoting the benefits of waste separation. Jakkapan emphasises, "Understanding how to sort waste will empower residents, potentially cutting down their fees." Participation requires registration through the BKK Waste Pay mobile application or at local district offices, where residents can document their waste management practices for validation and eligibility for the reduced rates. In addition, the BMA is investigating other registration methods, including via rubbish collection personnel and their official website, ensuring accessibility for all residents. This initiative marks a significant shift in Bangkok's approach to waste management, placing the responsibility on residents to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable city. By engaging citizens directly and making the financial implications of their waste habits clear, the BMA hopes to build a more environmentally conscious community while tackling the city's escalating waste problem, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-27 -
