  1. That and they wanted to see my Visa class, and have my passport translated to Thai, but that was now over 10 years ago.
  2. You are pretty much spot on with my view. THe USD has not Slid against the THB except for the run up to 38 and then back down to the high 32's. It has pretty much stayed in the 34 Thb to USD range for the past month or so. https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=THB&view=1M
  3. Sorry but I mixed up his indictment cases. The other one does have a Gag order on it.
  4. More deflection and denial on his part. "I needed to separate my personal items from all others in the boxes" now that's rich. Had the man not been denying the election was stolen and then tried to lead an insurrection he would have had almost 2 months to gather his personal items in separate boxes while leaving the Documents at the White House for NARA. His interview also violates the new rules for the case as to not discussing it.
  5. Here is his defense, well he is deflecting on why he did not return the documents when asked. Trump says he didn't hand over documents because he was 'very busy' (usatoday.com) Former President Donald Trump offered a new explanation Monday as to why he didn't return classified documents he took with him from the White House, saying he was "very busy" and didn't have time to separate them from his personal belongings. Trump made the comments in an interview with Fox News' chief political anchor Bret Baier on his show Special Report. Asked why he didn't simply return the bankers boxes full of documents after the National Archives and Justice Department moved to subpoena him, Trump said, "Because I had boxes, I wanted to go through the boxes and get all of my personal things out. I don't want to hand that over to NARA yet. And I was very busy, as you’ve sort of seen."
  6. I think he will become the new General Prem and take up permanent residence in the house he currently resides in. There will then be the annual trip to visit him by the new PM and a kissing of the ring for a blessing of good fortune for the New Year. Just mu view.
  7. Can not wait to see what Thailand comes up with to appease the Agoda wishes.
  8. Sounds like a meeting between Pheu Thai and MFP has also been successful in hammering out the speaker allocations. Lets see what tomorrow brings and then wait while we hold out breaths to see what occurs with the PM validation.
  9. My mistake, misread the post and saw a quote I thought was from you. All good I reported my post and had it removed.
  10. A ticking time bomb and a huge bubble seems ready to burst. Standby if your extended family is at the end of there credit lines. A few years back I watched as a Family in Udon Thani, just outside of town on the ring road, just packed up the truck one day and left the house they had been buying from the bank. Left the doors wide open. Apparently they did let the bank know and within a few hours after they left a bank employee showed up with a handyman. This was in a newer Moo Ban near the airport, near a friend of mine. I just happened to be visiting when this all went down. The bank employee took photos inside and out, and then the handyman secured the doors with new hasps and locks as well as placing a lock on the gate. My friend indicated that he had heard, from his wife, that they had a business that failed as well and owed many creditors. One has to wonder what people own the local loan sharks in addition to the banks.
  11. Checked into the Nai Harn in Phuket in April with my Pink ID card, and just last week in BKK checked into the Centre Point Hotel Chidholm with it. No issues. Not sure what your on about
  12. It is getting worse. Thailand also tried to hold an ASEAN forum but it was not sanctioned by the ASEAN council. It's going to get worse. The Myanmar government wants all ethnic groups to either leave or follow there rule if law. Non democratic law.
  13. Of course there is and a Trial or trials will be held. Yet there is another poster who insists that the Donald did not steal the items and he was allowed to have them. I think he doth protest to much as he does not know the true rules for the Donald to get his hands on the documents prior to leaving and after leaving office.
  14. Where is the individual who believes the people who are telling him that BIden was paid 5 Million and there is a tape. Sorry Sir, there is no tape, if there was it would have already been delivered, listened to, marked as evidence and Impeachment proceedings under way. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/did-joe-biden-get-a-dollar5-million-bribe-or-not/ar-AA1ckUO6 On Thursday, following a deal between the FBI and the House Oversight Committee, all members of the Committee were permitted to view a notorious document that is in the FBI’s possession, in exchange for Congress dropping its push to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress. However, it appears that the document only shows that the accusation has been made that Biden participated in bribery, and not that the accusation is true. Indeed, Congressional correspondent Chad Pergram of Fox News reported Thursday that “Source familiar with the FBI document reviewed by Oversight Cmte today tells Fox the following: ‘To be clear, the document does not say Joe Biden received any payments.’” Republicans, however, are alleging the opposite. This is consistent with much of what has been alleged so far by the Republicans on the Oversight Committee, who have studied voluminous documents, made numerous comments about the “Biden crime family,” but have yet to uncover any evidence that the president himself either received improper payments, or took any action in office to help anyone who was in business with his relatives.
  15. Your point being what? That the separate branches will band together and launch an offensive to retake the country. Have you really thought about your view?
  16. Why should the GOP try and remove funding for the investigation. The facts speak for themselves, and it appears the GOP is trying to backstop the former POTUS, yet all they will succeed in is putting there own careers in jeapordy. So did Trump misappropriate documents which he should not have had and which should have been in NARA's hands to begin with. The answer is yes he did. Misappropriation is a form of theft and so yes the Donald did steal documents which should have been returned to NARA https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/08/politics/fact-check-trump-claims-documents-investigation/index.html False claim: Trump was following the Presidential Records Act by refusing to immediately return documents Trump has repeatedly claimed that the Presidential Records Act, a 1978 law, says he was supposed to hold negotiations with the National Archives and Records Administration about the return of official documents after his presidency. For example, he said in a March 2023 interview on Fox that the law is “very specific”: “It says you are going to discuss the documents. You discuss everything – not only docu– everything – about what’s going in NARA, et cetera, et cetera. You’re gonna discuss it. You will talk, talk, talk. And if you can’t come to an agreement, you’re gonna continue to talk.” He made a similar claim at a CNN town hall in May, saying the law “says you talk, you negotiate, you make a deal.” Facts First: Trump’s claim is false. The Presidential Records Act says that, the moment a president leaves office, NARA gets custody and control of all presidential records from his administration. Nothing in the law says there should be a negotiation between a former president and NARA over a former president’s return of presidential documents – much less that there should have been a monthslong battle after NARA first contacted Trump’s team in 2021 to try to get some of the records that had not been handed over at the end of his presidency.
  17. As usual some posters have had issues getting a yellow book and others like me have not. A yellow book is useful as well as the pink card. Some folks have no idea sometimes. Many other posts regarding the yellow book and Pink ID. Take a look through these if you want. Best to take the missus to the local Amphur and ask whats needed.
  18. The far right are still in a state of denial as far as things go. Just watched a video interview with a reporter who was in the court room audience seated just behind the secret service. Her comments seem to echo those of Trumps inner circle,, which have been posted before, that he seems pretty concerned about these charges. She indicated that Trump never looked back from the judge, never looked at Jack Smith and only leaned over to whisper to his attorney, all the while clenching his jaw. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/reporter-who-sat-behind-trump-at-arraignment-i-ve-never-seen-that-kind-of-expression-on-donald-trump-before/vi-AA1cGyoU?ocid=msedgntp Wall Street Journal reporter Deborah Acosta describes her observations while sitting directly behind Donald Trump at his Miami arraignment on Tuesday. "When he got up and turned to leave the courtroom, he was looking down at the ground and he was pressing his lips, pursing them tightly together," she tells Alex Witt. "And then the corners of his mouth just dropped into the deepest frown I've ever seen on anyone in my entire life."
  19. An agent from a company would take the passports of individuals who needed to go out and be stamped back in while you and the others sat in a nice cofee shop enjoying the day.
  20. He keeps on attacking Jack Smith and deflecting. Wasn't he ordered to cease and desist, or did I miss him being able to attack the defense and witnesses. Trump Drops New Video Attacking Prosecutor Who Got Him Arrested — With 16 Second Rant About Biden Probe (msn.com) The former president is reported to be extremely worried following his arrest and arraignment on 37 counts related to violations of the Espionage Act, the product of an investigation spearheaded by Smith. If convicted, he faces what amounts to a life sentence. Trump has consistently tried to accuse Biden of “having me arrested,” but fact-checkers and other journalists have just as consistently pointed out that the Justice Department and Smith are independent of the White House.
  21. Just saw this and thought to myself " who would have thunk this" surely not his supporters. He is being thrown under the bus. Donald Trump arrested: MSNBC host warns former president leaks are coming from inside his house The Morning Joe host said on Friday the former president should be worried about colleagues and friends spilling his close secrets.
