  1. But Trumps selling $99. NFT superman cards to help his campaign I thought...
  2. Shades of Ross Perot....sinking the Republicans. A heavy independent, if that's how Trump runs, will make the election a loosing effort for the Republicans
  3. I looked over his taxes and the man did not pay any Federal income tax in 2020. I myself need to have his accountants as I paid over 56k USD to the feds and another 16k to the great State of California. I think maybe I need to find better tax write-offs. Owning my own business and 3 rentals was not enough....sigh.
  4. Omegacron 23 coming to a country near you.
  5. His Accountants Mazars left him holding the bag when they dropped him as a client and disavowed his taxes. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/14/nyregion/mazars-trump-organization-financial-statements.html&ved=2ahUKEwi-ne7hkqP8AhWPFbcAHQibAoUQFnoECBIQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1sJx8MNxK8YsmN7or_0yjU
  6. The only problem is when that foliage blocks a small side road where a car or bike or dog suddenly appears in front of you...m
  7. Ergo why some who live like that end up joining the flyers club or drinking themselves into an early grave as they can't see things in a different light. It becomes depressing when you have 4 walls that seem to close in on you and your elderly and it becomes hard to get about.
  8. Perfect idea but even in HH there is no room to build, then as you head south on Hwy 4 the seed picks up and there are no lights until you get to Pranburi. Several major areas in there where people have to cross the one side to get to the other as well, like coming out of Rajabakatti park and wanting to go south, the turn to go up towards Sirvana Homes, then the main road into and out of Khao Tao which right now is shut for all traffic trying to go to Hua Hin and you need to go south and make a Uturn against all of the fast moving traffic going north.....that's where I saw the accident occur. Many people make uturns way to slow and can not judge speed of approaching cars.
  9. Discos? Are we in the 70's is John Travolta doing a new Saturday Night Live version. I take it you meant Clubs. My experience last year was all of walking street was packed even with the Covid issues. Sorry I forgot Lucifers is a Disco my bad.
  10. Watched a U-turn being made today south of HH into oncoming traffic, driver turning like a turtle and going so slow. The approaching cars had to brake hard and one ran off of the road to avoid hitting the braking cars. There needs to be more lights on the highway that would make U-turns a bit safer....
  11. Road surface here is pretty good, well outside of BKK down here in the HH/Pranburi/PKK it is, only some side roads are bad from the tractors. Roads in the US in some spots were pretty bad and you needed to drive slow due to the undulations and soft asphalt which happens during the summer heat. Roads I rode on in the UK were pretty beat up, well back in 2011 that is. In the north of Thailand, Udon Thani the main roads were pretty good, its the idiot drivers that you need to be concerned of everywhere in the world. Thai folks just don't ever look before they merge lanes on there bikes.
  12. I get a little confused when I read this in another OP: "Officials in Thailand have also discussed a plan to offer AstraZeneca vaccines to Chinese tourists for a small fee and on a voluntary basis." Then read this: in this OP Looks like they need to get on the same page in their daily meetings. I am sure the new India Regulations for traveling Thai's hit a nerve somewhere.
  13. But wait, Thailand needs the tourists and the Indian weddings.....or was I mislead.
  14. Back then the only time zone I dealt with was the Pacific time zone, which was either 14 hours behind or 15 hours behind depending on the annual Daylight savings time. My return tickets were always 30 days from start to finish back then, but when you fly to Thailand from the US the day you arrive is 15 hours later then the US Time and therefore my 19 hour flight from LAX to BKK was actually a 33 or 34 hour flight and I would arrive the day after I left, but when Flying back to the US from BKK I would land the same day I left BKK and in actuality only 6 or 7 hours after leaving BKK based upon the layover. To be honest 30 days is 30 days in my view, but Thailand does not see it that way. Yes you could theoretically wake someone up if you called Hawaii from New York at 9 am or even California as California is 3 hours behind New York and Hawaii is 5 hours or 6 hours depending on the Daylight Savings time. If your in the US you know these things but you tend to forget the time differences when you travel unless you actually sit down and think about it. My dad would wake up at 6 am in California and call me here in Thailand in the late evening hours, yet if he tried to call me at noon his time he invariably would wake me up at 2 or 3 AM. It is an easy mistake for people who don't remember to account for the Time differences when Traveling and was why I kept my watch on the US time zone, and why I caused an issue with the airport. Once I actually went to the airport at 10pm for my flight according to my watch only to realize it was daylight out and my flight was not for another 15 hours.........that was the last time I kept my watch set to US Time.
  15. LA, What type of charging system did you put in for your MG EV. Looking at adding the EV to my stable now that I am out of BKK and in PKK where the open road is just that, the open road.
  16. It isn't so far off from getting married to a Thai lady and then building them a house, buying them a car and then them deciding they do not want you and divorce you. For the OP he got off a hell of a lot cheaper than some......many of those accounts have been posted herein these pages and as I posted earlier get the same response as I posted...... But she's different Batman. Few and far between are actually stellar individuals and even those have friends and family that will try and bleed you dry. Unless your a glutton for punishment you never loan (give) money to a friend no matter who they are......lesson learned and time to move on and forget about it.
  17. But she's different Batman................................
  18. Now the pressure gets ratcheted up another notch. Stand by as this one spins Anutin in circles. Anutin has already stated that he is not worried about the Chinese coming as they have to be PCR tested negative before leaving Thailand.......something is getting really stinky with China just all of a sudden lifting restrictions an allowing full blown outbound travel for the Chinese New Year.
  19. I never paid any attention back then to the calendar as I always used my watch for the date and rarely had a cellular phone. I never changed the time when I would come here for a business trip or a quick visit to see family, and as I said my US date was always the day before it was here, especially when you fly out at 5am here. Does seem to be a PITA to be flagged as overstaying when you arrived at 11pm on one day and then 31 days later you flew out at 5am. To me I was always on the end of my 30th day when I left, but Thai immigration saw it as the beginning of day 31 and therefore an overstay. After the 2nd time in 2010, I starting using tourist Visas instead and was always safe as well as changing my time zone on the watch. When your dealing with the US if I were to call when my watch said 4 pm I would always connect during business hours. Once I changed my watch I forgot about the time difference and woke up a co-worker at 2 am.......oops. Took me a few months after I moved here pretty much permanently to remember the big time difference when I wanted to call someone.
  20. Correct always stamped as I had it done in 2004, then again in my new passport in 2010. 1 day overstay as I miscalculated my 30 days like the OP did when I was doing the fly out fly in and never paid attention to the until date as I was always on my US time. Never had it affect anything including moving onto extension of stays.
  21. Wait I already thought there was an investigation being done. Looks to me someone's feet are being stepped on. You don't run separate investigations in this world as they always seem to come to a loggerhead when you try and interview the same people. Look up the term I used.
  22. HD parts are readily available here in Thailand. HD's are being made in Thailand, so you know very little.
  23. You obviously have no idea of how and where I was trained Sir. I will leave you to your own views.
  24. Is he, or is it just his body that says so. In his mind he is not now is he. I think I am part of the coyote family, I scavenge for things and raid chicken coops for sustenance...
