  1. Just calling something a theory does not in any way, shape or form transform it into a falsehood. Perhaps you'll volunteer to test the theory? After all that is the only way to disprove the theory and strengthen your case. Don't be shy now!.... It IS only a theory. What could go wrong? Are you afraid that after the test starts you'll suddenly have a reaction to some toxin and have to terminate the test before proving your case?
  2. AI agrees with @Nick Carter icp : There are currently no direct international flights to Chiang Rai International Airport (CEI) however, you can fly to Chiang Rai from other countries by taking a connecting flight, most commonly through Bangkok (BKK). All direct flights to CEI are domestic flights within Thailand, operated by airlines like THAI Airways, Nok Air, Thai Lion Air, and Thai AirAsia. You can use flight comparison websites like Skyscanner or Expedia to find connecting flights from your origin country to Chiang Rai.
  3. LOL..... many more are realizing how pathetic your opinions are... especially the opinions supporting medical knowledge from the time of quill pens and coal oil lamps for household lighting. You know what I refer to.... your baffling infatuation with Koch's postulates from the 1880's..... I bet you wish you were born in his era when science was so much better than today 555.
  4. I suppose you diligently read, research and consider articles published by MSN?

  6. Most human motivations are more complicated than simpletons can understand. Yeah! Here's one of the worst examples... she also embezzled funds from a charity and was then granted a pardon by Trump... monkey see, monkey do! https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2015/dec/08/las-vegas-republican-michele-fiore-christmas-card-weapons
  7. Unfortunately poor management of US affairs has resulted in US $ losing 5.1% against the Thai ฿ over the last 12 months. But even worse, the $ has lost 9.6% vs ฿ since the last US Federal election. I certainly hope the $ improves as I have no ability to detach my retirement funds from the US $. Thankfully the better returns on conservative US investments do ameliorate the pain of loss on exchange rates.
  8. I am not sure what aspect of the differences you want to know. For functionality the two methods are very similar. My biggest complaint is that the smallish screen on a phone can make viewing larger amounts of data difficult. I view smartphone apps as more secure than traditional internet banking for a few reasons. Many phones provide facial recognition based security protocols, access to your banking functions can be restricted to one easily identified device (using IMEI) and the greater physical security as the owner usually keeps his phone with him.
  9. I'm pretty sure JWNZ was asking what webpage for SCB were you trying to access, because they only allow remote banking access via smartphone apps.
  10. And.... Kim Jong Un has almost an entire country that will swear to his miraculous abilities. Certainly more believable than a mere 80 references on an essay! As other poster's have mentioned.... when it comes to science its quality over quantity.
  11. One downside to using IKEA products for this is that the backside of their wardrobes are unattractive. Also the method they use to affix their wardrobes to the wall can only be installed on the inside back wall of the closet. The above is assuming you wish to construct a 'wall' by using wardrobes side by side with a gap serving as a doorway. We installed 3 of IKEA's largest wardrobes side by side against a wall. We're satisfied with that result. The first picture is of the backside of a similar IKEA wardrobe.
  12. Thai banks not offering as good a deal to falangs who live and have families here as they do to Thai citizens could be considered racist. I doubt that there is a Thai law underpinning the bank's favoritism toward Thai nationals. LH Bank explicitly states the 'best' savings account is only available to Thai nationals.
  13. Phones with facial recognition security are more secure than laptop/desktops. I only use phone and it works great. No Thai bank does everything well. Just use the one that covers your requirements better than the others. I only use desktop to get an instant list of recent transactions to tally up monthly expenses.
  14. I could not find the 2% rate @ Krungsri bank. Here's their current rate sheet: https://www.krungsri.com/Krungsri2020/media/Banking-Rate/deposit-rates/en/deposit-rates-09092025-en.pdf Time Deposits at the bottom of page 4 show only 1.1% for 24 months. Check out the EZ Savings account at SCB. Currently 1.5% up to 1M ฿ but only .45% for funds over 1M ฿. Initially they offered that account for up to 2M, then dropped to 1M, then raised back to 2M...now back down to 1M ฿. LH Bank used to offer an account called Pro-Fit but was only for Thais. Now I can't find a link to it from their main website but I can find a page using Google search: https://www.lhbank.co.th/en/personal/deposits/pro-fit-digital-savings/ Thai bank offerings are very strange... it seems some of their special account offerings are meant to bamboozle their customers.
  15. Darn it.... I was hoping to hear that Elon was personally testing the first launch of one of his rockets to Mars. I thought he was one of those guys that believe that if you want a job done right.... do it yourself.
  16. The core of that material is probably either MDF or HDF which is then covered with a non-wood veneer with fake wood grain. MDF is medium density fibreboard and HDF is high density fibreboard. HDF is more expensive but stronger and more moisture resistant than MDF.
  17. LOL... and when you look at any solid matter in this universe you don't really see its true nature. Your eye doesn't see the vast gaps (relative to the solid bits) that exist in everything. Neutrinos can pass through lead that is light years thick and never interact with any of it. So, your point is exactly what? Oh ... I see... you don't believe in electrons, neutrons and protons because nobody has ever isolated them and YOU can't see them? Obviously there are huge gaps in your logic as well. LOL
  18. If I unleash my imagination, I can hear Bogart narrating this tale as Sam Spade.
  19. The long term damage from the Dunning-Kruger effect has left no room for uncomfortable facts in your brain. It would be just a waste of time and electricity to post what is so easily found by the willing. You've spent countless hours mucking about in the gutters of the internet .... take a break and seek the sunshine of science.
  20. I feel bad for you stuck in that windowless and doorless silo. Maybe Owl Sees All will come keep you company.
  21. Your posts are nothing but your uninformed opinion repeated as an incantation to ward off real science. Sorry, but stuck off doesn't mean diddly to me. Perhaps you mean that as the re-incarnation of OWL SEES ALL you have yet to be censored by a forum moderator? Is the 'fake french guy' you used as proxy when OWL ran afoul still around? Why do you resort to weird trickery to continue to hang out here?
  22. I have no problem with hitchhikers.... we're all headed the same direction. I wish Canada gave me the option to cancel but keep the old passport. I would only use if for identification at the bank, etc. Now I need to transfer some money into Thailand and almost all methods require my passport at some stage. I may be stuck using the ATM or perhaps use the old Bangkok bank New York method while waiting.
  23. The Canada Chiang Mai Consulate's web site claims 20 day processing time for passport renewal. Today, Sep. 9, 2025 they told me it will take 4-6 weeks. I dropped the application, photos and payment receipt (paid online in C$) this AM and asked for the new passport to be sent to the Consulate. It's only a 15 minute drive from home and I think it is a more secure delivery method. You can pay online in C$ with a credit/debit card, save and print the receipt and submit it with your application. Currently the fee is C$260 for a 10 year adult passport which is just under 6K ฿ or you can pay with a Thai bank draft for 6500฿. Bonne chance!
  24. You seemed to miss the most annoying threats to good health through good information.... internet trolls, Dunning-Kruger afflictions, pathological liars, idealogical sycophants, science denying cultists and not least of all... sociopaths.
