The term "Thai tax residents" includes expats who live here 180 days or more per year and have a pension transferred. It's been mentioned numerous times in this thread already but the Thai tax code applies to all Thai tax residents equally, regardless of nationality, gender, race, creed, or AN membership.

This is the correct answer. ^^

From the OP: "If you aren’t comfortable with labeling this as dementia, that’s fine. But there is no question that the president — the man tasked with making critical life and death decisions for both the country and the world — is struggling with mathematical concepts, has vivid “memories” that are not rooted in reality and has an increasingly foggy grasp of past events that did happen. That’s not a medical diagnosis. These are facts we can see for ourselves and we all know, even those of us who voted for Trump three times, that this can’t be allowed to continue."

Huh. Has Obama been subpoenaed? Nope. Arrested? Nope. Called in for questioning? Nope. More "Make Americans Goobers Again" masturbation finishing on the OP's face.

Could he really be a fairy? It's possible I suppose. Who knows what he and Epstein got up to on that plane?

Yes, if ignorance is bliss then he's the happiest guy on AN. Plus, that orange ring around his mouth is distracting, isn't it?

No, that isn't how it reads. Pretty clear that you met 10 years ago, a year later began dating, and six years after that were married.

"Six out of 10 Americans place blame on the Trump administration for driving up their cost of living, according to a poll conducted by Morning Consult for the Century Foundation, which asked 2,007 Americans how they are managing the high cost of living in the US economy, who they think is to blame and what are the solutions. Sixty three per cent said Trump had had a negative impact on grocery prices, and 61% said he had had a negative impact on the cost of living. Nearly half, 49%, said the Trump administration had had a negative impact on their finances. Nearly eight out of 10 Americans, including 70% of Republicans, fear that Trump’s tariffs will increase the price of everyday goods." https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/aug/01/trump-inflation-cost-of-living-poll

Poor Trump. Always the victim. Now, it's the BLS that's "rigging" the numbers to make him look bad.

"Apparently democrats make retarded children, but thats a given and of general knowledge." Wow, who knew your parents were Democrats? (Notice the correct capitalization of the proper noun.)

I had to do security verification yesterday......did it by email, not SMS.

I could tell you but why bother? You already know that Trump is breaking laws with impunity and the US population is too busy staring at their iPhones to notice. Welcome to Stalin 2.0. "The sun sets and the sun rises, all thanks to Trump."

A couple of things. This thread is not being "hijacked". The topic is not about banks closing or not closing accounts due to low balance or inactivity. Next, as I understand it, if there is no activity in your account for 12+months, your account (and this is dependent upon which bank) becomes "dormant". At that point, you'll be charged a "preservation fee" of 50thb per month until you do have a transaction or your balance is depleted. Once you reach a zero balance, your account will be closed. (All of this varies by bank so consider this a general overview.) If I'm mistaken, I'm sure a AN "expert" will be along shortly to correct me.

"Can a MAGA cultist here explain how windmills kill whales?" There's gotta be a "blowhole" joke in here somewhere but I can't find it.

Currently in Bangkok (Sukhumvit area) and the availability of edibles is virtually non-existent. Visited four of my "go to" shops on the first day and all said, "No have. Cannot sell." On a whim, I stopped in a shop I had used previously but in a more inconvenient location. Bingo.

What gave it away? Was it the lack of sentence structure? Perhaps it was the incorrect use and/or absence of capital letters? Were you alerted by the 27 consecutive negative adjectives preceding the noun? I knew because it's an obvious "Make Americans Goobers Again" member who posts factually incorrect Twitter/X memes - from people that no one has ever heard of previously - and expects others to believe that constitutes "truth".

I never mentioned Trump, Yakov. You did. I simply clarified that this would apply to tourist visas. As an American citizen, doesn't affect me either way.

Wall Street Journal's parent company is Dow Jones & Company, a subsidiary of NewsCorp. Hence the reference to a "Dow Jones spokesperson".

Show me the part where it says they don't.

Wrong again, Yakov. Tourist visas in the USA fall under the category of non-immigrant visas: "Nonimmigrant visas are issued to foreign nationals seeking to enter the United States on a temporary basis for tourism, business, medical treatment and certain types of temporary work." https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/visa-waiver-program/requirements-immigrant-and-nonimmigrant-visas

But, but....Biden. Obama. Hillary. The topic of the thread is Trump's behavior, no one else's. (Glad I could clear that up for you.)

Difference being, of course, that we have the President of the United States acting like a 12 year old girl (who we know he absolutely adores) creating and posting deep fake Tik Tok videos. If you don't think that is completely undignified for the office he holds, then you're the person with the perception problem.

Definitely. There are even guys selling Rolex watches on the streets to the wealthy travelers.

I suspect Ms. Luna is more knowledgeable in the realm of sandals than in scandals.
