New travel rules: Thailand’s ETA to shake up visa-free visitors
Goodbye border runners and those who try to live in Thailand without a proper visas. If, and this is a big If, it’s implemented correctly the system should deny anyone from unlimited visa exemption entries. -

Tim Walz Subpoenaed in Federal Investigation of Covid Aid Fraud Scheme
Forget this, let's look into something important like Scoutgate. Does Walz even have a dog? What is the deal in the video where he is seen playing with two different dogs? This needs to be cleared up. Maybe a special prosecutor needs to be appointed. -

New travel rules: Thailand’s ETA to shake up visa-free visitors
MacPhooey recently arrived with a new UK&NI PP, the IO girl asked me if I would be entering with my APEC Card - I told her that my APEC Card is linked to my old PP so it was obsolete, point being that they already had a link between my old and new PPs possibly from info in the new PP chip 😐 -

The Death penalty your opinion
How about you quote my post in full, instead of cherry-picking the bit you are choosing to mount an attack on? The Innocence Project in America claims thousands of cases of wrongful convictions. Presumably that includes people who have been executed for something they did not do. The causes of wrongful convictions in the USA include incompetent defenses, and concealment of exculpatory evidence by prosecutors looking for a good track record. Saying I have no empathy for the victims is a cheap shot. How would you feel if you were marched to a place of execution, knowing you were innocent? Are you saying it doesn't matter, because the number is so few? While you are adjusting your self-awarded halo, perhaps you could answer this question: The homicide rate in America is 6.5 victims per 100,000 people. In Australia, it is 0.74 victims per year. Why do you think that is? -

New travel rules: Thailand’s ETA to shake up visa-free visitors
What about Expats with a non B or O or whatever letter applies and a big reentry stamp in the passport ? Need to find the internet first, hope the Thai website is just working and then no mistakes? Arrive at airport and get rejected because the system has linked into heaven knows what or found you are a hunted criminal, oops, sorry, no, sorry, your face does not match.....need scans of your birth certificate, oh, not carrying that?...... And what about quick run around such as a visit over the land borders, visiting for example Penang or Sawannakhet by car? A day trip but then need to do all this poppycock with ETA online (if readily available , maybe wait a few hours....,), then also do the TM whatsyournumber , etc etc etc....oh, don't forget to say what hotel you have booked although you have a house, but 2 or 3 days travel away, better hurry and do not think you can choose a hotel on the way..............and your 90days are expired, oops, 2000 Baht, thank you.................ah, what the fxxx, after 30 years more changes and fun with flags is just par for the course. Guys, and Gals, you left Europe and other places partly because of this claptrap, get out while you still can without extra applications and licences. Asia is still large although China is trying very hard to get it all under control. -

Reduce taxation by gifting.
I guess you are right. But I always found HMRS' view that all money used for goods or services used inside the country of tax residence, are taxable remittances, an extreme overextension of "logic". All the money I spent to buy clothes in my home country that I wear here - taxable remittances? Are they going to tax my underwear prorata? But I will stay on the safe side and won't use the shenanigans suggested. Way too blatant, in-your-face tax evasion. It may be they don't care. But it may also be, their reaction is "do you really think we are that stupid?"- 1

American Teacher Arrested in Bangkok for Allegedly Abusing 14-Year-Old Student (short)
Where that underage girl has been since February? Her mother thought her daughter has been missing since then. That is why she sought police assistance while looking for her. And the police found her in that Axs Hxle's room. That's why that pervert was arrested. Any other perception of this case to your eyes? -

Baht becoming ridiculously strong
Australia's interest rates have not been cut because Australians are already paying an increase in the cash rate from 0.1% to 4.35% which has meant Australians are now paying on average in real terms almost as much on interest repayments as they were n June 2008 – when the cash rate was 7.25%: https://www.theguardian.com/business/grogonomics/article/2024/sep/05/australia-economy-gdp-growth-rba-interest-rates The British pound has increased in value because the Dollar is weakening. There are also other reasons such as the Bank of England being very slow to cut interest rates, and also the Pound's performance now is a rebound from years of underperformance after Brexit. Your statement that the Japanese Yen has fallen against the Baht in the same way as the Euro, Pound etc, is simply false. Anyone can look at the chart of the JPY/THB and see that you are wrong. If you don't think the Baht's performance is related to the Dollar, you may want to consider this statement by Kanjana Chockpisansin, head of research, banking and the financial sector at Kasikorn Research Center (K-Research): "The baht has quickly gained strength amid continued fund inflows as the market is convinced the Fed will cut rates in September," said Kanjana Chockpisansin, head of research, banking and the financial sector at Kasikorn Research Center (K-Research)" https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/2851417/baht-poised-to-reach-34-to-the-greenback#:~:text="The baht has quickly gained,Center (K-Research). So looks my "nice theory" is shared by the head of research banking and the financial sector at Kasikorn Bank. Okay then. -
