I didn't go to any other country, I went Home. 27 years in Thailand while I was working in the oil patch. Got married, had a child, and then the wheels came off. Wife decided she wanted to "be rich" and started selling ya ba while I was doing FIFO in Australia. Was at home 1 day on time off and the about 30 police showed up and hauled her away. For a month or two it was extremely stressful. She got sentenced to 25 years to life. That was in 2013 Her cousin became my nanny and I continued to work in Oz Tried to move in March of 2020 but Covid screwed that up. Grew more and more unhappy with thailand and when I retired from work myself and my son moved back to Canada. I want my son to grow up in Canada and go to school in Canada He loves it here and is happy which is the most important thing for me. I wanted to go home and not be an old man sitting in the food court in a mall in thailand, like I see many doing. The only thing I miss about thailand is the cheap and fresh fruit, but the meat I can get in Canada is much better. It's been 1.5 years now and I'm glad we made the move. Don't have to mess with visa's anymore and am getting my government pension and various handouts that I qualify for.

Well, I'm sure the relevant leaders in the west will get your sternly worded message and act accordingly

Get an offshore bank account to deposit your working salary into, transfer into Thailand living expenses, I used to do 10,000USD per transfer. No tax obligations anywhere. Did this for 25 years of my residence in Thailand with no blow back Standard Bank Offshore is inexpensive to set up

I was raised on raw milk as a child. We milked our own cows and the milk went into stainless steel milk machines and then into the fridge, in rural northern Alberta, Canada First time I tasted store bought milk I thought it tasted like water No adverse affects. I would not seek out or buy raw milk from outside sources as you can never tell their handling of the milk. And most definitely not in Thailand where the cold chain is problematic, among other things Up to you as they say, but I wouldn't

Every fridge I've bought in Thailand had wheels on it already. Just grab the sides and pull, easy for cleaning behind it.

Nordstream 2 was hydro tested and ready for service, It was denied operating permits by Demark before the war happened. It might have had a very small load on the line, about 30 psi is what I have seen used elsewhere, but nowhere near operating pressure. The pictures of the sea bubbling is from Nordstream 1 which was at operating pressure, about 1000psi As to who blew them up, I wonder if we'll ever get the truth

Getting 500kg of high explosive is not possible without strong state back up. Go to any hard rock mining site and they have literally tons of explosive on hand

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not yelling and screaming like his passengers. Old Joke.

And if a 17 year old joins the Army he will receive the proper training and supervision on how to safely handle his rifle

Against Mexicans it appears to not work so well. 50 ft wall and 51 ft ladder as one politician put it To Orcs on the otherhand it might as well be a force field

Which country? On my Canadian passport renewal/application the passport is by default kept and destroyed. There is a box I have to check off on the application to have my old passport returned to me, embassy has nothing to do with it. I've got all my old ones in my desk.

Outraged about everything and ashamed of nothing

I followed all the rules, got 2 vaccines in Thailand and 2 in Canada and didn't get Covid. Worked like a charm IMHO So your example is a single data point as is mine, and completely anecdotal

Read that wrong https://store.ais.co.th/th/samsung-galaxy-a53-5g-8-128gb.html Anywhere from 9K to 14,5K depending

Your model of Samsung from AIS is 18,000 baht https://store.ais.co.th/th/samsung-galaxy-a73-5g-8-128gb.html You won't have any problem bringing in a phone from outside Thailand and popping in a SIM, did it with mine all over the world while working

And of course New Zealand had no indigenous people in it when the colonists arrived, invaded

Long read that's very light on facts and heavy on subjective writing What is his focus on 4 pipelines? being destroyed. I worked on both lines, Nordstream 1 is 48" diameter as is Nordstream 2, what other 2 pipelines were involved? Nordstream 1 has been in production for years Nordstream 2 was mechanically complete but not in service due to permitting issues

Why not go to your local IO office and get a multiple entry stamp? Costs about 3000 baht and then you don't have to worry about forgetting. I always got one with my retirement renewal for work reasons

Looks like they are dipping into the gold reserves because of sanctions. special operations are expensive it seems. The Russian Finance Ministry sold 3.6 tonnes of gold from the Russian National Wealth Fund in January 2023; this was the first such sale to cover the country’s federal budget deficit. https://news.yahoo.com/russia-sold-gold-national-wealth-090859424.html Slava Ukraine

https://www.homepro.co.th/p/1002322 I used this under my backdoor and patio awning, was quite happy with it. Turned a heat trap into ambient temperature Easy to install

Don't have to understand his thinking or where it comes from. The road to peace starts with the invaders leaving Ukraine. Slava Ukraine

I'm sure they get more data from Tik Tok than from a balloon
