Re-entry Permit Chiang Mai Immigration
At CM the desk is now moved beyond the boarding pass check in for current departing passengers only....A helpful airport employee found 2 officers & they directed me to go to the CM Immigration office - they now only served actively departing passengers at CNX.....

Just a perfect day...
Meanwhile, the wife is silently mourning, isolated by the loss of her life's partner = even though he's "alive"...Because of drink he's eroding daily the intimate, special times, memories....Meanwhile, she cares enough to fight with him hoping to get her husband/lover/hero/inspiration back... He's to stupefied (and stupid) to recognize what he's (irreversibility) costing both of them while killing her dreams day after day .....

Re-entry Permit Chiang Mai Immigration
She asked for the photo & used a glue stick to attach it to the form....I then was sent to get copies of two items in my passport (not listed as needed)....When I returned to her window the picture was not on the form, no longer attached.....She panicked a little & checked the papers on her desk = nada.....She stood up to check the floor and there it was - - - firmly glued to her tight, little, shapely ass.... My picture looked very happy there ????????????????.....

Re-entry Permit Chiang Mai Immigration
Yes, I just got one at the immigration office..... They also asked for copies of items not cited in the actual instructions..... I also made the mistake of going to the airport first where, a few years back, they had an open counter = it's now moved behind the the check in screening area for boarding carded travellers..... I further compounded my mistake by going to the in airport Burger King for a bacon WHOPPER.....The 3 ft WHOPPER on the overhead menu turned into a miniscule disappointment, but the fries were ok.... I tottled on down to immigration to get my re entry . Much better then my entree adventure.....

World's biggest lithium reservoir found in supervolcano McDermitt Caldera in Nevada - with $1.5trillion worth of the precious metal that powers world's technology
A huge pockmark on the Earth's surface.... If you've ever seen a strip mine it's an ugly ugly thing..... Money/greed is going to win this thing... At least it's Nevada, which is already the dumping ground target state for hazardous/toxic waste...Cheap dumping fees & miles & miles of nothingness..... Nevada is a right to work state which doesn't favor worker's rights.....

The state of your average expat in Thailand.
Bob, You're basing your premise on the behavior of the "at risk" crowd....You won't find many decent people in that crowd/lifestyle.... There's expats everywhere living every normal lifestyle.... Personally, I don't know one bar goer.... However, I know many expats living a normal life, contributing to the wellbeing of their families + representing a goodwill smile, style, and footprints among their neighbors....Just quietly going about their lives.....In a place of their choosing (for the most part).....

What kind of weather person are you ?
I was raised in California with moderate temps.....A half hour drive away was the beach & a 3.5 hour drive away was Lake Tahoe for winter snow & summer water sports....Humidity was never noticable & you could participate in sports & outdoor activities year around.... I enjoy a low humidity climate regardless of temperature & find some days here with high humidity really not fun to be around.... Days like today in The CM area are comfortable - but I find living here in more or less season-less weather monotonous..... We'll be in the US Oct-Jan.... Hopefully we'll get some "winter" in.... Unfortunately, the last month will be in the Houston area & we will be relocating home basing the RV/car there....Meaning, no more easy ducking into snowy/cold weather climates.... While writing this my wife just turned the a/c on....I guess that's her vote....

3 examples of bad parenting in Thailand. Do you have any other?
Agreed, it took major contesting on my part to invoke an 8PM phone curfew on school nights....Which I think is still too lenient....

3 examples of bad parenting in Thailand. Do you have any other?
Yes, I've booked & asked about activities, set up family times/games..... Supplied musical instruments she wanted to pursue that lasted for a short time.... She's the most accomplished freehand artist I've seen and I supplied everything she could possibly need.... We have Dad/Daughter days + slurpy days every Thursday.... I've managed to get us all out camping a few times.... I've taken them out for archery, mini golf trips....Have had her out bumping/digging/setting a volleyball, badminton, Frisbee toss & catch, also had her out hitting softballs off a tee & playing catch..... Any ambition she's embraced she's had support....

3 examples of bad parenting in Thailand. Do you have any other?
It's the only forum I'm involved in & it's taken 14 years.... Yeah, some time wasted as initially I got involved with some of the word games that account for half the total and certainly = wasted time.... I dropped participating in that when I noticed how the "posts" count accumulated.... I tend to ebb & flow posting.... But = point taken....

3 examples of bad parenting in Thailand. Do you have any other?
Unfortunately free range kids are very common here..... Our 16 y/o is basically glued to her phone.....I wanted to set reasonable limits & my wife basically takes the "up to her" stance.... To my daughters credit, she is holding a 3.6 at school....She is very talented/gifted in many ways, however, I have watched the creativity spiral downward close to zero with all her extra time going to playing on the phone.... Electronically free range.... I don't look forward to the wake up call....
