For now.

Very bad idea.

Everybody has baggage. The baggage of the military leaders passes through uninspected.

You can be both an executor and an inheritor under a Will's terms, or an executor who does not inherit anything in the Will. In many Wills, a spouse is named as Executor and is also an inheritor in the Will. Depending on the Will's terms, an Executor can be unpaid, or paid a fee for work performed in executor duties.

It's a tough job but someone's got to do it.

Well, that didn't take long--wondered when someone would be along with your flawed argument and looks like you're first out of the gate. Once again, I'll present the true picture. In 2019, there were 10 million+ Chinese visitors, spending around 48,000 baht each. Your highest spenders, that you covet, were from the Middle East, spending an average of 72,000 baht. Less than 100,000 in 2019. Now, I, myself, would prefer to receive 10 million checks for 48,000 baht each rather than 100,000 checks for 72,000 baht each. I think likewise for Thailand. While spending somewhat less, the huge numbers provide much more in the way of tourist revenue for Thailand. China, spending over 500 billion baht in 2019, was the number 1 country for tourist revenue that year. And, before you say all that money went back to China, the majority of Chinese tourists that year were independent tourists, not in tour groups. The dominant tourist market for Thailand has been Asia for sometime now--and likely will be in 2024, as well. That doesn't mean that high-spending tourists from all over are not important--tourists from all economic strata are valued and needed on a steady basis to fill all the hotel rooms, ranging from hostels to 5-star resorts.

Wacko.

In a nutshell: A collection of really, really, really lame excuses I would have been totally embarrassed to spout.

Less.

If you can't stand the heat . . .

One less big bike on the road, great! One less whiner, great! Oops, not one less whiner. Left and still feels the need to get on a Thailand forum and whine some more.

Well, the Wall St. execs. are not stupid. They know Trump is a two-time loser with the American voters in presidential elections. Could only garner 46.1% of the vote to weak candidate Clinton in 2016. Lost the popular vote badly but was saved by the cursed Electoral College, America's version of the Thai Senate. Did slightly better in 2020, 46.8%, but that's dismal for a sitting president with all the powers of the presidency, and against another weak candidate. He lost the popular vote once again, and even more badly than 2016, by over 7 million votes. So, two elections and he could not come anywhere near to 50% of the vote. Although he, and his supporters, make a lot of noise on social media, the majority of American voters don't like him, don't want him, and have said so twice at the ballot box. With all his legal troubles--and more to come--he's arguably a more damaged candidate, if that's possible, than 2020's version. Wall Street is, smartly, looking for a better candidate--which would probably be about any breathing American 35 years or older-- but I'm hoping he'll come up a three-time loser.

Maybe someone can explain to me exactly what 'soft power' is and how it can be exported as an 'export product', according to the article. I hope it comes in a large economy size as I like to buy my soft power in bulk. Perhaps it's all a big misunderstanding and there was a typo--they really meant 'soft powder', a wonderful new laundry detergent that 'powers' through stains. As per a previous poster, total BS, and I don't mean booster shot.

Seems like a prime candidate for the EC to deeply probe. Just reading the article, it's my 'belief' that he's not suitable for public office. "Belief', apparently, goes a long way with the EC.

What a total crock! Never read anything so lame. They should be utterly ashamed of their actions.

Mine was around 3-4 weeks in January of this year.

My goodness is he still alive?

You're welcome!

The actual truth is Chinese tourists spent over 500 billion baht in Thailand in 2019, the most of any country, by far. The actual truth is the majority of them were independent travelers, not in tour groups. Sorry, but it's the truth.

Why would he? He's nothing special.

Finally. Far more were burned out than still functioning. Apparently following The Moving Walkway Book of Maintenance.

I, for one, hope they never get out of jail.

I would also recommend giving Pattaya a look. It checks all the boxes for me.

Good for you! I love to read--mostly fiction. Here are some of my favorite authors, who can be counted on to deliver great escape fiction, book after book. Have fun escaping into a book. Jonathan Kellerman Michael Connelly Jo Nesbo Daniel Silva John Grisham Ken Follett Lee Child Elizabeth George Jeffrey Deaver John Sandford Martin Cruz Smith

Utterly shameless. Utterly brazen. Utterly despicable. Utterly sad for Thailand.
