Do you believe in God and why
How true! I guess blind faith is a human trait. That "hidden fear of the unknown" deep down in the human being, is taken maximum advantage by the so called religions. I wish, at least if one god, out of all existing ones, make this world a paradise from tomorrow! -

I'm planning to stay in Thailand over 6 months. Would Thai government try to tax me?
First of all its 183 days.. not 180. Further.. The tax kicks in on around 300 000 baht. Because you have to factor in deductables on the transferred cash. If taxable income after deductions are under 200k . there is no to little tax.. But im not 100% sure on that number..., but it is in that region.. Also.. if your country has a tax deal with Thailand its mostly beneficial to tax to two countries as its deductible in home country again. The tax in Thailand is step based. 5%, 10% , 15% and 20 and finally 25% depening on amount. -

President Kamala Harris
<snipped for brevity: Reality check: So far in 2024, CCC has logged 37 political rallies at which former president Donald Trump appeared, and we have information on crowd size for 28 of them. Across those 28 rallies and using our standard estimation rules (see below), the average crowd size has been about 5,600. Vice President Harris has appeared at six campaign rallies. The reported crowd sizes at those rallies have ranged from about 10,000 to about 15,000, and we calculate an average size across the six of about 13,400. https://ash.harvard.edu/articles/the-real-numbers-tracking-crowd-sizes-at-presidential-rallies/ -

Bangkok Restaurant Owner Accused of Slapping Foreign Tourists
The article reads as though the guide was attempting to jump the queue, against the restaurant's policy, by getting a queue number for a party that were not there in order that his guests did not have to wait in line when they did arrive, as all the other customers had to. His leaving "to buy snacks" probably made it appear that he had, indeed, been lying when he originally turned up to get a ticket and claimed that he was dining also just to get a ticket issued. How many tourists actually dine with their guide? -

President Kamala Harris
Here are some key benefits of Biden's immigration-related legislation and policies: ### 1. **Reinstating DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals)** - **Benefit**: The Biden administration restored and expanded protections for "Dreamers," individuals who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. The DACA program allows these individuals to live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation. - **Impact**: This provided stability and security to hundreds of thousands of young immigrants, allowing them to pursue education, careers, and contribute to the economy. ### 2. **Ending the Travel Ban** - **Benefit**: Biden rescinded the travel ban that Trump had imposed on several predominantly Muslim countries, which had been criticized as discriminatory. - **Impact**: The end of the travel ban allowed families separated by the ban to reunite, restored opportunities for individuals from these countries to travel, work, or study in the U.S., and improved U.S. relations with affected countries. ### 3. **Reforming Asylum Policies** - **Benefit**: The Biden administration sought to reverse restrictive asylum policies, including ending the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which forced asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their claims were processed in the U.S. - **Impact**: This provided safer and more humane treatment for asylum seekers, many of whom had been exposed to dangerous conditions in Mexico. It also aimed to restore the U.S.'s role as a refuge for those fleeing persecution. ### 4. **Proposed Immigration Reform Legislation** - **Benefit**: Biden proposed comprehensive immigration reform legislation that included a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, enhanced border security measures, and reforms to the legal immigration system. - **Impact**: Although this legislation has faced significant challenges in Congress, it aimed to provide legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants, improve the efficiency of the immigration system, and address root causes of migration. ### 5. **Ending Family Separation** - **Benefit**: Biden took action to end the family separation policy implemented during the Trump administration, which had led to widespread outcry and was seen as inhumane. - **Impact**: This policy change sought to reunite families separated at the border and prevent future separations, ensuring that immigration enforcement was conducted more humanely. ### 6. **Temporary Protected Status (TPS)** - **Benefit**: The Biden administration expanded and extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for several countries experiencing ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary conditions. - **Impact**: This provided protection from deportation and work authorization for nationals from these countries, allowing them to remain in the U.S. while their home countries were unsafe. ### **Conclusion** Biden's immigration policies and legislative efforts generally aimed to create a more humane and fair immigration system, reversing many of the restrictive measures implemented during the Trump administration. The benefits included protecting vulnerable immigrant populations, reuniting families, restoring the U.S.'s reputation as a refuge for asylum seekers, and addressing the complexities of the immigration system in a more comprehensive and just manner. -

Have any of you felt lost in Thailand at some point in your adventure living here?
1997/8 crash was bad. Lost a lot of money, and left holding the liabilities of a failed project by cheating Thai partners. Got over it though, helped by the unfailing support of my Thai wife. Still happy to be here, still happily married. -

Has nothing to do with the OS - purely down to your email provider and if your email has made its way on to various lists and your email settings possibly. -

Danish Expat Risks Prison in Thailand Over Lost Car Incident
It seems a ridiculous state of affairs that a man parks his car and forgets where, I did that even as a young guy. Only then to have the Police come and accuse him of insurance fraud, sounds like a total scam on behalf of the Police. Any decent lawyer should get this dismissed, if he had lousy representation in the first instance, it was probably an ' ambulance chaser ' trying to milk the situation and make money out of the poor guy's misfortune, only for the Police and others to jump on the gravy train. -

Free Schooling
at Chula (Bangkok) "admittion fee" was quite hefty (very) but our neighbor's kid went there on "free scholarship". He scored 95%. Real geek. -

Our tenants run a restaurant. Should we keep them or finish the contract?
Yes, that is true. A gas bottle won't explode on it's own unless it was engulfed in an inferno already. The biggest risk is that one of the supply lines to the cookers/hobs was to leak. This could lead to a build up of gas in the building. At the right concentration, one spark and BOOM! That would be my biggest worry. As others have suggested, ensure that the restaurant apparatus is inspected periodically by any safety/licensing body (if that's even a thing in Thailand).
