Israeli Man Fined for Riding Motorcycle on Phuket Beach, Cites Lack of Signage
quote from the OP. "They soon found Mr. Amir Midhat, a 30 year old Israeli national, Mr. Midhat admitted to the act, stating that he was unaware of such restrictions, as there are no similar prohibitions in Israel. He also mentioned the absence of warning signs indicating the rule on the beach. It may have escaped his attention, but he is in Thailand and NOT Israel. Most people would have enough common sense to ask if such was allowed, before attempting to ride a motorbike on the beach. -

It is now election day in the U.S.A.
I never said Harris supporters are readying for violent protest. Why do you dodge my question and lie about what I say? -

I'm not sure what to do - My old dog is suffering .
So sorry to read about Poo, and hope it is just the arthritis which can be managed to an extent. Huge respect and admiration to you for all that you are trying to do for her; and the love, care, and patience that you are showing her. The decision to euthanise is a heartbreaking and inconsolable one, it still haunts me 20 years later. However, sometimes it is the right decision for the dog, rather than for yourself; and remember, you took her from oblivion and have given her the most fantastic life that any dog could ever hope for. Best of luck. -

Thailand to tax residents’ foreign income irrespective of remittance
i recently completed my 1 year permit (retirement) at immigration. all my papers and documents were complete and in order (they carefully checked everything before i was even given a counter number). but the officer in charge handed me five additional forms to fill out and sign, checked all documents twice for safety, and stamped about 50 times all the document!!! the whole process for my simple 1 year permit (i didn’t have to answer a single question) at the counter took around 20 minutes ... a process that could easily be completed in under 5 minutes! all government offices, banks, immigration, etc., in thailand love to make things as complicated and time-consuming as possible. an extra tax certificate would probably make the immigration officers even happier ... they’d have one more reason to make life difficult for us... -

Election Day Updates -
There is a part of me---the cynical and admittedly selfish part---that kind of wants the felon to win. I have no doubt he will eff things up as only he can do. I have enough money for 10 lifetimes, and I’m diversified enough so that no matter what havoc the felon creates, I’ll be just fine. Those who will suffer the most under his glaring incompetence, however, are the very people who think he’s the Second Coming. The world isn’t going to get any more welcoming to the kind of people---the poorly educated and those lacking marketable skills---who support him, and only a nation that has productive and “Giver” States like CA, NY, NJ and New England, can carry the forlorn and obviated. I suspect the felon will mess things up so badly, that both the West Coast and the Northeast will secede. CA, OR and WA in the west, and in the east, northern Virginia, MD, NY, DE, NJ and New England, plus maybe eastern PA, will choose to leave Magastan to its own devices. The States who are the biggest parasites, taking much more from the Federal Govt than their citizens return in taxes, will be left to simmer in their own juices. Looking at the Election Map, I see the felon is already declared the winner in some States whose largest ‘employer’ is Social Security Disability Insurance (KY, WV, TN). Who is going to pay their monthly stipend when CA and other Giver States are gone? I always laughed when the felon tossed out his racist term “Black Jobs”, something immigrants are supposedly taking. In reality, what immigrants often take---if they’re not starting companies and juicing the US GDP---is MAGA Jobs. If the felon wins, and if he implements his economic policy of tariffs and deportation of all undocumented workers (except those who work at Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster), inflation is going to skyrocket, the deficit explode, the dollar collapse, rates soar, and most of MAGAstan will tumble into a level of poverty even Venezuelans would fear. Schadenfreude is not a noble emotion, but sometimes it’s kind of impishly and deliciously satisfying. -

Leaving Thailand 2024
OK but I don't want a Thai girl to have my back -- as she is a Thai citizen and I am not, I want her out in front taking the hits, if any. Since my wife is from an RT Police family, she tends to do that anyway.
