I gave up years ago on doing it online, it's so quick and easy to pop in to main immigration as I live nearby I've only had one failure in quite a few years now. As I recall, that one failure was due to what Immigration said was a missing TM30. Until recently, the only browser that we could get to ...

Oh yes, great morning viewing that segment. I'd say 80% of the carnage is caused by the scooters not looking where they're going I was cycling down Naratip in Cha Am yesterday when, at the intersection with Chao Lai, a motorcyclist, obviously not looking, sped out from Chao Lai missing my rear whee...

Not sure if this has been mentioned before. Nite Hunter has a new-to-me IPA. The ABV is 6.8% with an IBU of 45. I like it. I still like the M32 IPA better, but this is pretty good. As expected, it's brewed in Chachoengsao by Thai Spirit Industries. I bought the last two that Lotus's Cha Am had on di...

I'm surprised nobody has actually posted any info from the RD on what is expected. RD will be looking at all income from overseas, Thais and expats (anyone residing here 180 days of the year) <snip> In other words, nothing has changed except the bit about when the income is earned. Those of us with...

The pm lives in Lala land. Ganga had been available practically everywhere from years ago. My first trip up in 1979/80, any hotel bellboy worth his salt could get you some. People have short memories, don't they. It wasn't so long ago that the tobacco ladies at most fresh markets kept a tin of ganj...

Yes, I think that is my understanding. The only grey area for me is if I were to transfer the remaining 30K in year 2, together with year 2's 50K. I am assuming the 30K from year 1 would be taxable in year 2. That's the way I see it. In any event, it seems that it will be somewhat of a nightmare to...

I've read a bunch and am still a bit baffled. Here's portion of the text of the US agreement: 1. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 21 (Government Service), pensions and other similar remuneration paid to a resident of a Contracting State in consideration of past employment shall be...

Chaos on the way. It will be impossible to enforce this; especially since so many parties including producers, processors, distributors and retailers have invested so much money in this venture. My wife has several clients who have made massive investments in the production of cannabis. They seem to...

Lotus's in Cha Am seems to keep a decent supply on hand.

I'm happy to report that my local CJ here in Korat has completely run out of Tawandang IPA in spite of the fact that they received a massive shipment of Carabao and Tawandang beers just before the real Songkran (as opposed to Ung Ing's Songkran). I'm hoping this means that their beer is a success an...

There were two such fires in Cha Am this week. One, across from the ugly recycling shop lasted two days. The other, not far and in a field being cleared, was still going as we left this morning.

. This just off Motorway 6 at Lam Takong in Korat.

No one cares.

If you want to compare with past days, there is an archive of time lapse videos from my web cameras here: Thai Weather Time Lapse

AQI pretty grim today. Can barely see Khao Yai:

I went to Australia last year in May and did the subsequent 90 Day report online. I just looked at the online receipt. I did the report, online, on July 11th last year.

Has the rule changed since then?

I guess I wasn't surprised to see that the Cha Am branch of JIT Pochana (จิตรโภชนา) is permanently closed. It opened about four years ago, after the original restaurant on the site (Alpaca?) closed. I suspect it was a bit upscale for the Cha Am crowd. We only went a few times; but always enjoyed the...
