Abso-eff'n-lutely❗Duh.
Trump is a narcissistic, lying, deranged, delusional, trainwreck of a "person". He's everything wrong with human beings...ALL stuffed into one dangerous imbecile.
I tried it numerous times for the exact same searches BEFORE suggesting it, and it worked every single time without fail. Without US VPN...Thai date. Switch on US VPN...western date.
Anyhoo, glad u got sorted out.
If you ever do get a USA SIM card, almost certainly it will need to be activated there (and be sure whichever company provides International SMS services). I use TING Mobile (cheap and very good), but seem to remember some BS about having to be a customer for 3 or 6 months before eligible for International SMS. Point being...cover all bases and ask a lot of questions.
Everything this person claims and blames about others is just projections of his whiny, worthless, corrupt self. A more fragile, insecure and predictable looney tune con-man there's never been.
Thai immigration offices have their stupid quirks and petty hangups, but this one beats all. I would have to buy a collared shirt. Haven't owned one in years. Absolutely ridiculous, this. ????
