Itโs been a wet 10 days or so, in many parts of Thailand. Itโs also the typhoon season for the north pacific and much of the rain and storms is a side effect of the typhoons as they sweep through the South China Sea and then track into Thailand, sucking in moisture from the Indian Ocean across the country. Today we look at the many efforts to mop up the mess.
Tim Newton Today is daily news commentary about Thai and the region, including issues of interest to expats and travellers to Thailand.

Chinese tea is often awesome, it does NOT need sugar.
Many mushrooms are triggered by fire residues after fires plus rains. In Europe, the edible Horn of Plenty mushroom is an example.

Perhaps the Thai Govt should look at the Philippines visa system. Like one or 2 months for visa-exempt and then a fee of up to $50 for each month's extension. After 1 month you can extend for 1/2/4/ or 6 months for a fee up to 3 years when you must do a boarder run. If you prefer you can get permanent residency by putting in a Filippino Bank US of $10,000 and a few minor conditions and you really can stay forever and maybe pay some taxes. I suggest $ 50 P/M for a visa extension may be accepted. Expats can also pay for the Philippines Govt medical coverage at a mostly low insurance fee. Mostly restrictions of overstay, work permits, health insurance etc. may be mandatory after 6 months or similar. After being a resident for 6 months then being a resident for taxation. This would make great simplicity with long-term persons retired and living in Thailand and reduce some of the ministry requirements. And give better desire for tourists to enter the country to holiday.
Where are you American orientated on the dollar we are not all American
Think about the the English pound
hey Tim, what is Steve's second channel, it is not mentioned on the one I subscribe to, nor does anything come up searching by his name… thanks mate!
What happens if you sign a 6 or 12 month rental but want to leave before contract end

Hans C. Schellenberg is fine and would be happy, if he could get unblocked on this Channel
What can we get from this new government? More confusion!
My budget is based on the US dollar ๐ต being worth 35 baht or so. At this rate I may have to rethink my situation. 32 is just too low
A winibbego is certainly not an RV and never has been! Itโs a CA thatโs a camper van. Any fool not understand?
Me trying to convince income tax that a spoon is a knife.. invest in a whole lot of mops mate Airbnb's on standby

Standing ovation to Shaun Stenning and the 5 Star Marine team for their longtime, consistent, and caring efforts: 16:55.
Hi! Tim…๐๐๐๐
Thanks as usual for everything you do ๐
PS. If you wipe down then camera you wonโt have these lines around the lights in background ๐
I rented my property from facebook! Never looked back! Perfect place! ๐ฎ
QUESTION: Tim, did you ever do a video telling the whole story about that property you leased to improve and open, that may had been a hotel at one time? The deal didn't quite work out and you moved on. My wife was wondering if you ever told the whole story. A link would be nice if the story exists.
There infrastructure is not sustainable to the weather conditions they get! Always said it! Being an engineer myself! Poor quality of work has always let Thailand down! Money is always a factor! But the country has 1 of the richest monarchy in history! ๐
Tropical storms! Houses built by the sea! And on mountains! Surely building these infrastructures should be built with all these factors ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ but this is why western society is strong! We have a different outlook on these factors! Welcome to Thailand ๐น๐ญ ๐
Tim, will the new show โALIVE AND KICKINGโ have the Simple Minds big hit, as the theme tune! ๐ค๐๐ป๐๐ป
QUESTION: Tim, has any of your viewers ever taken a Snooker or Pool cue, onboard a plane flight to Thailand. My cue is a two piece, but still too long to go into my suitcase. I have read โbubble wrapโ it, and put in as extra luggage, any suggestions please guys? Much appreciate any help or advice ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Coming to Thailand in middle of October my my long suffering Thai girlfriend is looking for accommodation for me in near pathum Thani great show Tim
Just wait till the fat lady sings
Wonderful job living waters doing. Thanks 2 shaun and co. Helping these people when most needed
Hi Tim many thanks for the update on the current situation on many parts of Thailand.
Texas Chicken is/was owned by PTT as is Amazon coffee.
People in MaeSai have been flooded out of homes 3 times in 4 weeks with very little support or help.There was a flood warning system apparently but ceased to work when it got wet or dark.Only worked in dry daylight conditions.Thats what i read on friday.
For rental through an agent it is usual for 1 month rent as the agents fee. Getting bonds back is not easy, suggest write off 50%. It is a good idea to (as Tim suggests) to get a series of photos of any damage – wear and tear- and get the owner to agree. Get to know the owner
Mr Tim , i have question for you, how many days of stay period will i get if i visit to Thailand on 15h October 2024. i have heard that visa free access ends on 11th November 2024. i want to stay in there for 60 days. could you please guide me.
Great program today Tim โค๐
I'm not a person who comments on shirts, but that one is one of your best ever, maybe THE best. Hokusai closeups. I notice a fold on your left side, so it means it's a brand new shirt. Funny, I notice this in films often when wardrobe didn't have enough time to steam all the folds out. ๐
Maybe Turtle Beach will soon be Turtle Road. ๐
How many rentals total do you have going now, or will soon? It's impressive.
Yes I always growl that way when talking about coups. ;-
) No, I also don't think a coup is coming soon. It looks to me like a handshake was probably made to allow what's now happening. Srettha was not intended to be a long term PM. I mean, he had a meeting with Thaksin not long before he got disqualified. It would have been too obvious what they were up to if his daughter stepped right into the role. I wouldn't say "appetite" is the best word for Thais' feelings about coups, but more like "tolerance" for coups. Thais are remarkably acquiescent to them, or maybe intimidated. In this one, I think the establishment had to realize they'd gone as far as they could, needed to give in a bit, chose Thaksin as the lesser of two "evils" –god forbid the people should get to actually choose.
