I thought that was always the case.

It has been for the Banglamung office  others seem to have accepted  yellow book or work permit instead.

A yellow book and pink card are often accepted, they have been for the last 6 years for my licenses.

 At Banglamung office ?

I believe the 3 letter agencies,5 eyes countries,mossad,Bejing and the Cremlin all monitor,surveil,intercept and record whatever thay can sometimes in coperation with the "big tech" companies.

algae ponds are susceptible to pesticide run-off unfortunately.

Yes that could be a problem   perhaps rooftop "ponds" or raised beds

I don't think they need to be deep for algae ?

How would you rather call it?

I would call it a mostly peaceful protest  up until the police opened fire with tear-gas  on a section of the crowd   whilst another section of the crowd where ushered in and escorted around the Capitol building by police.

Can we talk about the pipe bombs and Rey Epps yet ?

they did not assault the Capitol in order to steal elections,

Nobody assaulted the Capitol to steal elections, Biden took office as planned  one event was dismissed as "mostly peaceful" even though there was much more death and destruction the other was hyped to oblivion into "the end of democracy"

Your scientific credentials are not quite adequate to assess the impact of a near doubling of atmospheric CO2.

Yep already said I'm not a scientist   that doesn't mean I should just take the word of those that claim to be scientist

(or know someone at NASA)  as "gospel truth" 

I can believe of disbelieve anything I like of my own accord.

I can also come on these here "discussion" forums and express my views even if you don't like those views or think they are wrong.

You must be trolling, or supremely ignorant.

I suggest It's you who are trolling trying to goad me into an emotional response..so I won't suggest that you are supremely arrogant.

Though perhaps you are Elon Musk the space entrepreneur ???

or as postulated earlier by @thaibeachlovers

"I'm beginning to wonder if you can actually read or if you are in fact a real person, and not an argument bot."

9/11 was an obvious false flag to usher in the heinous "patriot act"

"legitimising" torture  indefinite detention,surveillance on unprecedented scale and never ending war.

"Future food?" Does he mean bugs?

Yes I think so  Thailand is already quite excepting about eating the bugs and is in a good position for mass production of the critters.

I suppose algae production would be viable too with the massive sunlight available....lab grown meat perhaps limited to the huge conglomerates.

None of which (except algae) I would touch with a barge pole.

the only way is for the Palestinians to give over to Israel ALL of the hammas criminals

Only way is for Palestinian

acquiescence to Isreal's demands?

Maybe If Isreal also hands over it's war criminals  to an independent third party for fair prosecution there might be a chance of a deal.

I do break with left foot so it's not bored too much.

Don't try without exercise first 😊

Yes first time I drive my auto  I was trying to use 2 feet  constantly stamping on the brake pedal  quickly gave up and went to right foot for everything mode.

Standard auto's have at least three choices (D/S/L) that can smoothly be selected without any clutch pressing.

I only ever use D and R  mind you there are not many hills or winding mountain roads around the Pattaya/Jomtien area.

I did a couple of tours around Thailand  firstly in 2001 

Ford Laser bought in Bangkok  drove all the way to Phucket then up to Chaingmai  and then back down to Pattaya

one highlight being the front left wheel was almost ripped off  after hitting a pot hole on the way to Chaingmai at 3AM and having to drive extremely slowly for about 75 Kilometres to reach a garage in Chaingmai to fix it.

Then a couple of other times in Pickup trucks up to northern Thailand  all manual..I'm too old for (this s**t) those long drives now 😢  even if someone else is driving (bus or coach) can't take sitting for hours on end.

My American friend  has told me it is possible to bump start an auto

but it needs pushing/pulling faster than any human could do it,I have never seen it done and won't try it with my car.

    That discussion has been done numerous times in various threads

well I think it deservers to be said again and again and again how many thousands of Palestinian life's to an Israeli life is acceptable ?

So you are ok with the hammas criminals murdering burning alive kidnapping and mass rapeing of Israelis?

Is that humans have increased atmospheric CO2 from 280 to 420 ppm?

Have humans done that by breathing in and out ? or burning

"fossil fuels" leading to a vast overall increase in world wide prosperity.

Whatever the case it is a miniscule % increase in the atmospheric mix,

is the "final solution" the elimination of those breathing in and out producing the deadly C02 ???

The SCOTUS have ruled that Trump can't be removed from the ballot.

I hope they have all learnt from it. 

Unfortunately it seems they have not learnt anything at all,those who implemented them suggest the reason the measures didn't work is because they where implemented to late and too laxly   ie the next time they want full on China style welding people in their homes, quarantine camps as seen in Thailand and Australia  total surveillance and control a dystopian nightmare for most but the

"Covidain authoritarians"  best wet dream.

where are these people going, where have they been? Just a never ending flow of traffic.

For the most part it seems to me they drive from Bangkok to visit the

airconditioned shopping malls,with a brief look at the beach at sundown then drive back to Bangkok again.

If you fall for the Central Bank Digital Currency  then indeed you will own nothing and I'm sure the vast  majority won't be happy at all ...living in 15 minute pods,carbon tax for vehicle use,every movement and purchase tracked meat and dairy highly restricted due to "climate emergency" eat the bugs they are environmentaly friendly !

Dystopian nightmare.

I thought I read somewhere the whole COVID thing was an elaborate hoax to get us (the sheeple) to stop using cash and do what we're told and own nothing. Isn't that what the Great Reset, Bill Gates, the WEF and all the other conspirators want? What happened to that theory, and where did the theorists go?

Still around even after the

de-platforming, debanking,

censoring,ridicule,shadow banning,

character smearing

and lawfare.

The truth will always emerge eventually.

actually does the USA recognise the ICC

No they are total hypocrites as usual trying to hold other countries to ICC "justice"  whilst excluding themself  even to the extent of having a statute saying that they can invade the Haque and repatriate any American that may wind up there.
