    Cute good to know other nations do not express their own views publicly or behind the scenes.

    I enjoy reading through much of Asiannow news but … Faux News is a discredit. They have been publicly discredited.

    They have cited their own conflict of interests.

    Very funny … or sad for anyone who has studied biology in nature. There is all kinds of diversity out there. Only the ignorant declare there is only yes/no, right/wrong, black/white, male/female.

    Agreed, depends on the individual. It was my unwise financial choice to remain in Kentucky to teach after earning the B.A. All other aspects were great, just financially an unwise decision. So, my fault that I cannot have a working middle class retirement in the USA on my $2400.00 USD per month ($1526.00 of that from SS). Very happy for over a decade to have been economically forced to retire to a lower cost country such as Thailand.

    May not be applicable but Chiang Mai. Bought my "Eagle Creek" roll-on years and many miles ago. Lifetime guarantee. The wheels were shot. Eagle Creek directed me to the "North Face" shop in Central Festival Mall (they sell/sold the Eagle Creek brand). They replaced the wheels under warranty.

    Without question, not the exact same thing. But I had to recall that in my country, hand picked Senators were selected by the state legislatures before the passing of a Constitutional Amendment making Senators (2 from each state) elected by the citizens.

    So, listing all Thai Senators names and how they voted or abstained would not violate as a matter of public record? Listing next to the names the major source of income from the public filing they must do every year, also a matter of public record?

    Smart move … not our country.

    My next US Passport renewal is 2030. At age 76 ... well, as the Zen Master said, "We'll see" (tip of the hat to the movie, "Charley Wilson's War".

    Agreeing and just clarifying for those who may not get the connection.

    What great timing ... Bastille Day and the cry of the French, "Liberté, égalité, fraternité"

    Had two things confiscated over the years. Both I had forgotten had been in my roll-on in a misc. bag with a bit of emergency things. Folding lock blade knife immediately replaced after return home. The latest my "Leatherman Tool" which I had flown with in the roll-on many times. This time out going from BKK on the way to the USA this year.

    Keeping in touch with folks who have touched my life on six continents, reading, genealogy, going out every other day for coffee in a new location around the city of Chiang Mai.

    Or Putin's palace. Quite understandable. I am reminded of a thought from the movie. "Enemy of the State". Along the line of ... the first thing they do is to discredit you ... If Putin did not go after him it gives possible credence to top Russian military corruption/incompetence. I'm thinking it would be difficult to find anyone with clean hands among Russia's most powerful.

    Sad comment. Left = The election decided Joe Biden is elected. no factual evidence of widespread corruption (fact certified by dozens of court cases). Right = The election was stolen, there were severe breaches of in voting. Equal ... BS. One is fact, one is a lie. My vote will go for the facts every time. So ... color me a leftist.

    What I am more interested in seeing is a competitive social media clone to Facebook. I am getting notices of being, "restricted" for breaching "community standards" but am not shown/told what the exact post or comment fell afoul of the algorithm ...

    Philosophically I agree but ... not in accord with those who support the Peoples Republic of China government model.

    Oh, pleeeze Republican Party, nominate Trump or DeSantis ... pleeeze.

    My Thai Wife and Thai Stepdaughter traveled together with me to the USA at the end of march, returning at the end of April. Leaving Thailand (Suvarnabhumi), entering the USA (Atlanta), leaving the USA (Dulles) and returning to Thailand (Suvarnabhumi) we were processed together as a family.

    Information already on your ATM card chip?

    For over a decade, I have used my Bangkok Bank Account for daily living and transferring in my monthly 65K+ from the USA via Wise. I then transfer some funds to my separate Kasikorn Account which is kept in excess of 400K baht to use in emergency, as backup for Visa Extension and to go to Wife when I croke.

    I agree that the sour stories outweigh the successful but ... I do recall over the last decade of reading positive stories so I have to disagree that on the Forum we hear "only Thai/Farang marriages that break down and turn volatile".
