New tax rules for foreign-sourced income
Good times for mediocre tax advisors! Save some tax, pay it to the tax advisor instead. I love the clarity of Thai tax rules! If the implementation takes as long as issuing citizenship to Myanmar refugees, i.e. estimated 44 years, then there is nothing to fear!

November festivals and events
You can take a stroll in Lumphini Park after sunset. If you want it a bit romantic, organize a boy to come with you, buy Krathongs=boats and let them float in the lake. Many people there, nice atmosphere!

Airbnb vs Hotels
Did you buy for 200 and got 190? That's a discount of minus 5%

Airbnb vs Hotels
I could imagine that owners who rent out for less than the minimum required 30 days in Bangkok try to avoid filling out any kind of registration form ...

Life Like (2019)
It looks like the movie is called "Perfect Human" in other countries. In case is really the same movie, it should be available on Amazon.

Cambodia backs Thai-led 6-country single visa plan
This website https://www.arrival.gov.kh/ says: When can I submit the Cambodia e-Arrival? You may register and submit application within 7 days prior to your arrival into the Kingdom of Cambodia. I would say this means you can't do it earlier than 7 says prior to arrival. On the same website there is also a video explaining the app (at least Iit looks like an app ... you can do the registration on a website or in an app), and at 00:53 it says: "declaration can only be done within 7 days prior to date of arrival (including the day of arrival) to Cambodia" after that, there is a wrong example "For example if you are arriving on 1 Oct 2023, you can only submit your declaration from 7 Oct 2023 onwards" Switch the 2 dates and it makes sence. Also at 00:54 you can see that the app only offers 7 possible dates to choose as arrival date, so I would conclude if you arrive on october 7 you can only fill in the form between october 1 and october 7.

Also wondering what kind of press they want to attend the "Press Conference Show"? I always thought this type of etablissement prefers to stay in the shadow?- Immigration officers worldwide could take a lesson from this
Ups, yes, Jupiter!- Immigration officers worldwide could take a lesson from this
Friendly immigration officer is a very rare species like smiling guys in Moonlight Bar. So far I only encountered one in Singapore and one in the Philippines.- Cashless Thailand?
I forgot 1 point: Paying online is a different story, like buying a museum ticket or train ticket online. For that you must be a mainland China resident. The alternative is to buy tickets on those international websites like Klook, Getyourguide etc, but they are much more expensive.- Cashless Thailand?
Alipay allows foreign credit cards, but you must also check if your credit card issuer allows it. I used a Wise Virtual Debit Card to connect with Alipay, which I deleted when I left China I am not sure if you can use foreign credit cards with Wechat pay, probably not. I think Wechat pay is the most widely used system and then comes Alipay, but most vendors offer both. I can speak here mainly about Beijing: you actually can pay cash in most places, I just doesn't look like it because almost noone does it and they don't explicitly mention it and they hide the cash somehwere behind in the room. Near the end of my holiday I tried to intentionally pay cash in many places to get rid of the left over paper money, and that worked pretty well, I am talking about museums, restaurants, small shops; I didnt try with taxis I "only" had 2 occasions where I had trouble to pay: 1 taxi driver because he only had Wechat-Pay and I had Alipay and he became pretty angry (stupid guy!) but in the end I could pay in cash with a few percent surcharge 1 automatic massage chair where i wasnt able to figure out how to pay, so no massage- Bar Boys Question

I am somewhat technologically outdated but i thought the purpose of a QR-Code is to be scanned by a scanning device like our beloved smartphones, not to actively scan something else (the laser pointer)?- Bar Boys Question
So everybody would be pointing his camera to the stage or elsewhere to scan barcodes, but secretely taking pictures? I dont like this idea. This makes me really shy! Would it even work in a dimly lit room to scan barcodes? Or if the boy is half hidden in second row? How would you in the future report "I offed Nr. 9", would you say "I offed barcode nr. 9-234234--535524546--62626266"? I dont think so. If pushy mamasans are the problem, it would be the owners task to adress this problem. If the owner doesnt care and the mamasans are the real bosses, they wouldnt introduce barcodes to bypass themselves anyway. The website needs constant updating, we know how well this works ... Do you really want to log in the wifi of the bar ... many dont like this for security reasons. To sum it up, i think a simple thing becomes just more complicated in the end. The real issue is that pushy/unfriendly mamasans can keep customers away from the bar and I wonder why owners dont care. - New gay bar opens on Patpong 2
