  1. Unfortunately, we can never please all of the people who are just a tad bit jealous there are folks like us who chose the LTR Visa because we qualified for it. Some do not think that folks like us live here in Thailand or some of us own a house/condo here, and travel back and forth to other locales. If you remember the very beginnings of this OP you can see the same comments as the poster you quoted and commented too. Having my condo here in BKK my house in PKK, and a house in the US allows us to travel back and forth in an easier fashion with the LTR Visa versus the old Non Imm-O-A with a multiple entry stamp. When you look at the cost of both they are essentially identical in price over the 10 year period and with the LTR we do not have to do 90 day reports or an annual extension or buy the multiple re-entry permit, plus we can use the fast track services.
  2. Surely this is a good thing Putin's Inner Circle 'Wants to Oust' Russian Leader From Power to End Ukraine War (msn.com) Putin's Inner Circle 'Wants to Oust' Russian Leader From Power to End Ukraine War Story by Connor Surmonte • 8h ago Vladimir Putin’s inner circle is reportedly plotting to oust the Russian leader from power to end the ongoing war in Ukraine, RadarOnline.com has learned. In a surprising development to come as Russia’s war against Ukraine quickly approaches the 17-month mark, sources familiar with Putin’s status indicated the 70-year-old leader is on shaky ground.
  3. Can they get a loan of one or two Hi-end watches from a dead friend....asking for a certain General.
  4. Cyber bullies? Does he mean the folks who as business owners posted that the Senators and there families were no longer welcome in there establishments, or the fact that folks are blaming them for a delayed government and the protests? When will these guys learn to live with the fallout they created. The laws here which they pander to are disenfranchising Thailand's ability to rise to the top like cream on milk.
  5. My Karen GF finds it highly problematic if the FM did meet with her. She has said that there is no way the Myanmar (Burmese) Military would let her speak with anyone unless a deal was being brokered, and there is no way Thailand would be behind such a deal.
  6. It will be interesting to see what occurs with him. He is such a polarizing individual and many still follow him. Only time will tell. Being tucked away in a foreign country of not ones birth can be very hard. I am sure many can understand that, no matter what the circumstances and whose fault it may be.
  7. It is definitely true gamesmanship which is occurring. Who will get to the finish line as the PM of Thailand is anybody's guess, but the majority of Thai people, well the younger folks, want to see Pita in the drivers seat.
  8. Looks like the concerns of demonstrations are not just being taken seriously by the Thai police and the government but have made the rounds to the foreign Governments as well. Just received this notice from the ACS US State Department Location: Throughout Thailand Event: The U.S. Mission in Thailand is monitoring reports of possible demonstrations nationwide. Although violence is not expected, even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence. Avoid areas of demonstrations, and exercise caution if in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations. Actions to Take: • Monitor local media and our Embassy website for updates, and check your email for further alerts; • Avoid demonstrations and large gatherings; • Review personal security plans; • Remain aware of surroundings; • Follow the instructions of local authorities.
  9. If that were to happen and they obtained all of the Votes that Pita did not get, then Prawit would definitely win the seat. Should that happen then there will be major chaos in Parliament as any type of bill or funding program will be stagnated for the next 4 years, and the government will be at a standstill with nothing getting done.
  10. The issue of abstaining is an issue, ut even more of an issue are the MP's who decided they had better things to do and could not even show up for such an important vote. Those that did not show up to vote should be removed from office citing Malfeasance as the reason.
  11. I overheard someone saying the entire UTN party as well as the Democrats and Anutins party voted No. The opposition, even if Pita does become PM can make the government a lame duck especially with the senate behind them.
  12. Yet TGJ, it is very tasty and leaves one wanting more. I make scrambled cheesy eggs using it. I put a slice on my breakfast sandwich I make with eggs and bacon. .sometimes must just go with the flow. Yes I eat good cheeses as well when I have my Salami and Cheese as a snack.
  13. I really feel sorry for my Thai friends and there families. Many only want a brighter future for Thailand. The continued belief that tourism will save this country and propel it forward is definitely not sustainable. Industry and innovation needs to be pushed to the forefront, but the ideas are always pushed away by the current government......sad
  14. Will the sad and desperate man named Trump ever close his mouth and stop the drivel it spouts. Heis rhetoric is tiresome and old. He is a person so full of hate it amazes me that people still buy into his views.
  15. The issue there is that no one elected the current sitting Senators. They were installed by Prayut and his group and are loyal to only he and his friends, of which the current coalition led by Pita is not......sad day really.
  16. Watching the Channel 34 HD news now. They are classifying this as a Mafia style murder with Olaf from the Outlaws MC group leading the hit. Peter must have crossed someone somehow......
  17. Its called a markup at Makro. Bought for probably half of the price sold for.
  18. Like a dog that just can not let a bone go.....this is getting to the point where politics here is looking like a rugby match.
