To all you Trump fans - Do you wear your MAGA hats with pride in Thailand?
Wait and see...

This is nonsense. I repeat, way to early to judge. Come back in a year or two. Meantime, find something else to do.

Not an American, not a MAGA supporter, but I have to say this comment is ridiculous. It is far too early to judge the current Presidency. Revert in a year or two from now.

Australian Nurses Suspended Over Hate Speech Antisemitic Video as Investigation Unfolds
Chilling video. Having said that I feel the media should refer to such vile activity as anti-Jewish. Anti-Semitic refers not only to Jews but also to Arabs, and others, who speak Semitic languages including Hebrew and Arabic.

Biden’s Popularity Hits a Low as Trump Sees Favorability Surge, Poll Finds
Yes indeed. Totally unbelievable that Biden received 81million votes. Should have already been fully investigated but most likely nothing will be done. Swept under the carpet and conveniently forgotten.

Man Killed by Wild Elephant in Palm Plantation Incident
Too many people occupying areas where elephants were once free to roam. In this particular case I am not convinced by the report that an elephant was responsible for the man's death .

SCB Branch Near Chaengwattana with Early Opening Hours
In my case a small withdrawal. CW have been accepting my day before updates for several years now. I should add that my Thai wife, who always accompanies me, appears to be good at chatting up the immigration officers. Always gets a laugh, and creates a friendly atmosphere. I only mention this as a possible reason for their forbearance.

The UK Just Went Orwell 1984 – And Apple Might Be Its First Victim
Britain. the country of my birth, is indeed descending into an Orwellian nightmare. Today's government personifies, to quote the great author, '..all people are equal , but some are more equal than others..'.

Being successful is all about state of mind.
I've known many highly successful people who almost until death were happy and prosperous, and never stopped frequenting bars and brothels.

SCB Branch Near Chaengwattana with Early Opening Hours
Recently CW have accepted an update of my SCB bank book a day before the day of my application for a retirement extension. This for info. only. No guarantee this will work for others.

If you were dead tomorrow..
Thais do not mourn in the western sense. They do, however, revere close relatives who have passed away.

Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
Carden, a director of American International Tax Advisers, grubbing about for business. Why are local expat groups hosting this kind of meeting ? Find something else to do.

90 day requirements at Immigration
Thanks.

90 day requirements at Immigration
At CW usually in and out in 1 hour, occasionally a bit longer. Not exactly a hardship.

Thais don't mourn much, and many believe in an after-life.

Just how ridiculous can it get?
In my opinion the infrastructure in Thailand is not bad in terms of, for example, roads, power, food and communications, and rather better than some supposedly more advanced countries.

Giant King Cobra Startles Krabi Residents Amid Drought
As ever I hope the cobra was really returned to a remote forested area. No idea why people are so frightened of snakes.

US Aid Freeze Linked to Refugee's Death at Thai Border
Attempting to link this death to Trump is both ridiculous and pathetic.

Credit to Donald Trump, LGBT’ is over. Someone Tell the BBC
Weird comment. The move of the current US govt to stop men from competing in womens' sport, using women's restrooms etc is surely good. Unbelievable that anybody would not support the new legislation.
