Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
We see even in our modern day with the SALT treaties, where the US withdraw at will, and many others, that treaties between governments are not worth the paper they're written on. However, in the case of the British Empire and Nazi Germany there was a common enemy, Communist Russia. Both Hitler and Churchill were afraid of communism, albeit for different reasons. There was not the same ideological antagonism between Britain and Germany as there was between Germany and Russia. Had Britain given Germany a free hand in Eastern Europe and Germany in turn would have done the same for Britain in the rest of the world, Britain would have retained its Empire. It would not make sense to suggest Germany would have invaded Britain, he never wanted to do that, only to knock Britain out of the war later. Britain had nothing to offer Germany, in terms of resources or living space. There would have been no need to seek a conflict with Britain. How do you think it would have arisen? -

Are the Baht busses ruining their own business?
Not impressed. And I certainly don't appreciate your attempts to belittle my grand daughter. -

Is Oppo the brand for a new Android mobile?
I’m in the market for new, cheap Android, max 5-6k THB, as a secondary mobile. Phone only to be used with light applications like Gmail app, Line etc. No video stuff etc. What’s the best Brand and model for the moment? A larger screen would be nice.. Oppo? Which model in the 5-6k THB range? 🙏 -

Any update on Paxlovid availability for foreigners in Bangkok?
IMO the risk for the elderly is co-factors. Obesity, smoking, drinking etc. You may be right. However, I am optimistic because (a) I don't drink or smoke (b) I am normal BMI (c) I was recently told by a physio I am in the top 10% of my age group for physical fitness. No guarantee, but I feel I have the odds in my favor. -

In other words, you have no evidence that Haitian immigrants are eating dogs in Springfield. BTW, do you think Trump won the debate? -

I'm discussing a figure of World War two, not planning the Final Solution, so I don't really need an excuse. -

Its Happening - Law to Tax Overseas Income Now in Progress
It's rumoured that they will be issuing a new form later in the year (November) that will include a space for you to enter Tax Credits from Tax already paid in another country that's covered by a DTA between Thailand & that country however if they don't I would simply put the amount net of tax already paid. As for proof, you would only need it if audited so I'm sure you would be given time to get a tax return from the other country (E.g. In the UK I my accountant does my return in July because I don't get my CTCs until end of June so if I were audited then I would simply ask for time until my UK Return was available). As for handling the different Tax Years (Jan-Jan in Thailand, April-April in UK) I would pro-rata it using 3/12ths from my previous years return & 9/12ths from the latest return... E.g. My 2024 Tax Return for Thailand would include 1/4 (Jan-March) of my 2023/2024 UK Return + 3/4 (April-Dec) of my 2024/2025 return. -

Norwegian Expat Injured by Automatic Door in Bangkok, Seeks Compensation
They mention a life insurance in the original article, but a Norwegian life insurance does not cover medical costs of course 😆 Something lost in translation again? I guess Mr. Wiggo has a travel insurance.... -

Nude awakening: Foreigner filmed naked on Phuket hotel balcony - video
Probably same reason we don't read about attractive women losing all their money and falling off buildings. Too many weirdo and stupid male foreigners coming to Thailand. -

Aussie Savings Account Interest
As I said, I didn't say I was right to be wary just didn't do any research. I was surprised to see 'Newcastle Greater Mutual' on the 'safest banks' list (don't know anything about them either). I almost left them off my post but then thought that's manipulating data 😆 Funny that UBank is owned by NAB. That's one reason I'm wary of smaller banks as I had a perfectly good Citibank account until they closed down in Australia, taken over by NAB. The fact such a worlwide bank like Citibank can fail in Australia shocked me -

Driving License 5 year renewal Prakanong Bangkok.
My auto & motorcycle licenses along with my Thai wife's auto license expires at the end of the this year. When we went to the Drivers License Office here in Khet Talingchan, Bangkok just to get info/confirm the requirements to renew our 5 year licenses one of the specific questions I asked was could I renew using my Pink ID Card/Yellow Book as confirmation of my address vs getting a Certificate of Address from my local immigration office. The answer was: I will be able to use my Pink ID card/Yellow Book vs getting a Certificate of Address from my immigration. My Pink ID Card/Yellow book 13 digit number will be used on my renewed licenses vs my passport number. I said I've heard that by using your Pink ID Card/Yellow Book then that would result in a restriction on your license for the local area only...but the drivers license reps said it "use" to be that way years ago but no longer....there are no restriction of any kind...just like if you had used your passport. And the two driver license reps who told me this are the ones who will actually being reviewing/approving my renewal application. I go back in a little over two weeks for my scheduled appointment. I also got my medical certificate today which is good for 30 days...cost Bt200 at a little clinic right next to the driver license office. Just had to provide my height and weight, a check to ensure I was not color blind, blood pressure check, and answer a few questions as to if I had any major medical problems. Only took about 10 minutes. Ditto for the wife. After getting the medical certificates we went back to the office and the wife got her renewed license today as both of us had done the online training yesterday....she just showed a snapshot of the QR Training Certificate. Then she went to a room where they run a few checks to ensure you are not color blind, able to quickly move your foot from a gas peddle to brake peddle, etc. Easy stuff...only took about 5 minutes total. For whatever reason(s) they accepted the Thai wife as a walk-in today...maybe they had some open appointment slots I don't know....they were just very helpful. But for me they would not do it today...but they made an appointment for me approx two weeks from now. I could have use the appointment app to make an appointment but since the drivers license office was willing to do it for me then good....beats downloading, installing, and registering with a govt app that you will only use once every 5 years. Yeap...we just went to the office to get some info today and see if we could schedule an appointment vs use the app they want you to use. Basically they routinely do "not" do walk-ins....you are suppose to have made an appointment...but for whatever reason they allowed the wife do her this afternoon without an appointment....and for me they made my appointment and basically looked at my paperwork, the medical certificate I got today, and my QR Training Certificate which I got yesterday and said I was good to go....just bring certain copies of the docs when coming back for my appointment in a few weeks. I feel like I'm preapproved paperwork-wise....just need to show up for the appointment, do a few response/eye/reaction tests, and then get my renewal licenses issued. The drivers license office reps today were VERY, VERY helpful. The wife left with a renewed license, I got an appointment a few weeks from now to renew mine, and I got a bunch of paperwork questions clearing answered.
