Need to spend two days in Laos ay at chiang saen crossing
Stayed in Thailand for 3 months and did another border bounce at the same location , this time paid an agency 4300 Baht for guaranteed entry. Went straight into Lao and back again and got stamped into Thailand with no questions asked . Asked the immigration about doing the same visa run again and they said they will only do two consecutive land border crossings and so next time I will have to fly in . Worked out that they would be pocketting 240 000 Baht a month from this entry service -

Phuket's Plan for Water Taxis: A New Way to Beat Traffic
Picture courtesy: The Nation Phuket is charting a new course to address its infamous traffic jams by embracing a water transport system. This innovative initiative seeks to alleviate road congestion on the bustling island, aiming to offer a more seamless and scenic travel alternative. On February 17, key figures gathered at the Phuket Provincial Hall's Smart Operations Center to discuss this ambitious plan, especially the proposed 'Boat Taxi' service. The meeting, spearheaded by Doctor Somkid Chokhong, an advisor to the Governor of Phuket, sought to forge a path towards integrating maritime transport into the island’s transportation strategy. Participants examined the current infrastructure challenges, chiefly the ongoing road construction and its impact on traffic. The Phuket Marine Office is at the forefront, exploring how waterways can serve as a practical substitute for land travel. A notable proposal included establishing new mooring buoy locations across Phuket. Suggested sites encompassed areas from Sirinat National Park through to Karon, highlighting potential hotspots for water taxi services. These locations could revolutionize daily commutes and offer tourists a unique way to experience the island. Efforts also focused on navigating the regulatory terrain needed to implement such an innovative system—a task requiring input from multiple stakeholders to ensure all legal requirements are met. This plan aligns with a directive issued by the Prime Minister and a Cabinet resolution from January 13, prioritizing water transport as a booster for Phuket’s economy and tourism, as highlighted by Phuket News. The water taxi initiative not only aims to ease traffic but presents an eco-friendly alternative that supports Phuket’s sustainable growth and economic development. In tandem with the water transport plan, another significant proposal on the horizon is the introduction of a monorail system. Governor Sophon Suwannarat recently suggested this as a strategic response to the island’s increasing traffic difficulties. The monorail would complement efforts to improve Phuket's infrastructure, offering residents and visitors an elevated travel experience free of road congestion. These dual transport innovations reflect Phuket’s commitment to modern solutions addressing the twin challenges of urban expansion and environmental sustainability. As plans progress, the initiative could turn the tide for traffic management on the island, making commuting a more pleasant and efficient experience for all, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-02-18 -

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
This is an issue for myself whose income is is entirely non-assessible (U.S. Social Security, U.S. government agency pension, and LTR). This means that my minuscule Thai bank account interest withholding is the only thing that any of my deductions can offset. Even though I will file jointly with my wife, I don't think that this will benefit her or us, but it will demonstrate that I at least tried.
