Where is Thailand?
Lots of great beaches around the globe. Very subjective. No Florida or California beaches listed either and only 1 Hawaiian...doesn't mean they're not great.

Jomtien Immigration closure dates over Songkran?
Don't know the dates, but last year Jom Imm was closed for 6 consecutive days. I know because I can see it from my condo windows. Couldn't believe they would let it be closed more than 4, INCLUDING the weekend. TIT

Pretty damn smart, if I do say so myself! 😎

Former-PM Yingluck acquitted by Supreme Court
We ALL knew this was coming months ago. Just a lot of bad acting and the next scene in this totally predictable, pre-arranged BS Tale.

Thai university lecturer tried to murder me and got away with it.
WTF?!? Are you for real??? Your ignorant, nonsensical, off-topic, non-answer is gross and your Thai ass-kissing ASTOUNDING.

USA Passport Renewal By Post report
First time doing this and needless to say a bit anxious about the outcome. I followed the instructions on the US Embassy Bangkok website 100%. Double, triple and then quadruple checked the contents and for accuracy. Satisfied I'd gotten it all prepared correctly. Dropped it off and the Thai Post in Jomtien on 8 Feb. The tracking showed it was delivered and accepted at the US Embassy by the security guard on 12 Feb. Then the wait begins. Much to my delight it arrived yesterday 8 Mar, exactly 1 month from sending. Everything was pretty clear and easy. I paid for the Courier Pass Back Service online with my credit card. It was quite simple. EXCELLENT Service all-round.

Mass Shooting at Concert in Ubon Ratchathani Leaves Four People Dead, Many Injured
I remember going to one of these concerts in Petchaboon in 2000 with gf and her sister. They warned me to stay close and be wary when, not if, the violence started. And they were correct, but back then firearms weren't as prevalent. Knives and machetes, but no one was killed. Needless to say we headed for the hills and GTFO❗

The guy is a total "tool".- Trump seeks to block Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen from testifying at NY hush money trial
This "thing" is the supreme being of frivolous and totally meritless claims. And while we're at it...absurdity, projection, BS and "moronity".- Thai Embassy in New Zealand increases visa fee 600%
Ha! Thanks for pointing that headline out. You're right I missed the headline after clicking the "Breaking News" headline below. Went straight to the article body, then to The Thaiger source article, which said zippo. (That's zero 😄). Thanks for the rudimentary and unnecessary math lesson, but you're right...I correct people on that silly error all the time, so many probably learned something.- Thai Embassy in New Zealand increases visa fee 600%
Did I miss something??? What's the current price❓ What's the percentage of the increase❓- Opinion: Nobody wants to admit the scale of the Islamist extremist threat to our democracy
- Trump appeals fraud case as $112,000-a-day interest accrues
He's still gotta pay up 💰 or S-T-F-Up 🤐. Extremely unlikely he has anywhere near that much liquid cash. He'll have to find a(nother) sucker to post his bond or he'll have to sell off some property. Either way, highly unlikely he'll win on appeal and is still gonna be hurtin' for certain.- Thai golf prodigy Patty Tavatanakit brings pride to her home country
She started feeling the pressure (leaking oil) on the last 9, but did very well keeping it together. Needed birdie on 18 to avoid a playoff and hit a perfect 3rd shot to set up a very short birdie. CONGRATS & WELL DONE Patty❗- Thailand’s prime minister unfazed by triple prime minister’s scenario
