Are we talking about the same person?
Bernstein stated he grew up in a "musical family" and aspired to be a professional musician as a young person.[8] Bernstein graduated with a bachelor's degree in music from the Manhattan School of Music where he studied double bass with Orin O'Brien. Throughout the Eighties Jared was a mainstay on the jazz scene in NYC.
He also earned a Master of Social Work from Hunter College as well as a DSW in social welfare from Columbia University's school of social work.[9][10] At Columbia, his dissertation advisor was Irwin Garfinkel.[11] He is of Jewish descent.[12]

Since 2011, I've been using Tailor on Ten for my business and smart casual clothes (suits, jackets, blazers, shirts).
For "off the shelf" chinos & casual shirts, I use Lacoste, Levi's, M&S, Ralph Lauren and Uniqlo.

First, apologies but I don’t know much about this Demonstration School. However, I can tell you a bit about our son’s education from kindergarten to senior high school in Bangkok. That might be helpful to you.
Foundations are key. Therefore, for kindergarten, our son went to English Program at a very good private school (where he got standard curriculum with Thai, English, etc. + Chinese, piano, etc.). Luckily, this school was in our neighbourhood.
Then, for his primary and junior high school levels, he studied at a local private school (English Program). We didn’t want him to commute too much and too far at this age. In addition, he continued to study the piano (private lessons at home) and studied French at Alliance Française.
In order to get a balanced education, he learnt how to swim, how to play tennis and played football in a club.
Eighteen months before the end of his junior high school curriculum, he started to go to a tutorial school (5 hours every Sunday, focused on Maths and Science).
In March, he took 2 entrance exams: Triam Udom Suksa School and Satit Prasarnmit Demonstration School. He got both and chose to join Triam Udom Suksa School Science & Maths.
From our own experience, but YMMV, your kid will have to rely on 3 elements: good brains, hard work & luck.

Is there possible to change the standard setting on suspension on smaller scoots? Do adv 160 have proper suspension? Honda stock suspension used to be bad on rhe older scoots, now I do not know, but I did change the rear on my pcx and it was night and day in comparison.
Sorry but stock exhaust really do not change much performance on scoots, just making them annoying lauder, and you loose your guarantee by doing so.
"Standard exhausts are heavy. By changing it for a quality one, you'll save on weight, improve the engine running and modify the look of the bike. BTW, in my initial post I used the conditional tense."
I did write:
save on weight
improve the engine running
modify the look of the bike
Regarding loosing the warranty... You loose it so much (!) that bike manufacturers launch, quite often, "special editions" with third-party exhausts (ie: Akrapovic, Yoshimura,...) as a part of the package!
Have a nice day

If you need more efficient bike, you buy a bigger bike 🤓
If you going to improve efficiency and not more noisy, it will cost more tan it taste. Thosd cheap <deleted> ones, stay away
Rear suspension is ok to change if you are more than 85kg and up + riding with pillion.
All bikes are designed for a standard use (according to their cat.)
1. By definition, humans are all different, riders have various styles and bike uses. Therefore, it makes sense to fine tune the suspension (NB: I didn't write "change", new elements are just an option).
2. Standard exhausts are heavy. By changing it for a quality one, you'll save on weight, improve the engine running and modify the look of the bike.
BTW, in my initial post I used the conditional tense.

My 2 cents.
I travel 80% of my time in APAC & EMEA for business.
For carry-on luggage, I use Tumi (briefcase, shoulder bag) and Rimowa (trolley)
For checked-in luggage, i use a low-cost brand. These luggage are badly treated by baggage handlers and thieves will look for the most expensive brands.

Mods that can make a difference?
I'd suggest 2:
1. Get your Front / Rear suspensions fine tuned (taking into account your weight, your riding style, etc.),
2. Change your exhaust system for a better one (lighter and more efficient)

a couple of options:
- You own a smartphone + mobile internet on it > use the Hotspot function
- Buy and use one ot these 5G/4G/LTE Cellular routers

Embassies, usually, provide certificates of "residence" or the like. Did you contact yours?
Another "road" could be the immigration dept.

It's quite easy for a foreigner to get credit cards in Thailand, 3 scenarios:
- You don't have a work permit and you don't have money in the bank : no credit card
- You don't have a work permit but you get some money in the bank : you can apply for a "secured credit card"
- You have a work permit : you can apply for a credit card
Years ago, I was in the scenario # 2 and I got a secured credit card.
When I decided to be based in Thailand (with a TH work permit), I applied for a credit card and got it!
PS: When I was based, as a foreigner, in Czech Republic, Ireland, Kenya, UK, the rules were quite similar: you have a job then you can apply for and get a credit card

It clear the OP has ethics from his posting.
We don't know if the guy who was denied the visa is telling the truth, maybe he's just a time wasting scammer.
If you know the case better... Happy New Year!

Two points to be considered:
1. Ethics (= is it morally OK to act in a certain way?)2. Law (in this case, concept of "Force Majeure")

Example 1
A century ago your ancestors would marry and give birth at age 14 and everyone thought it was normal.
In fact our entire culture was based around a 14yo impregnated by the 'holy spirit' and married to a 70yo man.
Example 2
A century ago nobody had driving licences, if you could get your hands on a car/horse/carriage you were good to go
Sorry you are wrong !

You order? Than you'll have to pay a lot of tax, maybe nearly the same price as in LOS.
But yes you'll have one of the best wines in the world.
Yes, I do it. And I do it tax free...

Some fair comments here...
Wine tasting is all about sharing. However, quality wines could be hard to get here, because of:
- Choice
- Price (taxes, margins)
- Quality (storage)
Luckily, I manage to get my wines directly from France. I place an order twice a year (Champagne, Muscadet, Chinon, Sancerre, Chablis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Rielsing).
