Based on published seizures by the police, ketamine use is definitely on the upswing. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/man-caught-smuggling-100kg-of-ketamine-worth-100-million-baht It is popular amongst the youth in party scenes, often in a concoction called Happy Water (which includes Kratom) https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/tourists-warned-against-taking-happy-water-drug-in-thailand Ya Ice (Crystal meth) is coming down in price too. At some point, Opioids will start falling off the trucks and causing all sorts of problems.

Not really a valid proposition. How does the current incompatibility, if there is any at all, affect your experience? A lot of people get frustrated moving between Windows/Apple and/or Android/iPhone.

Yeah, this is the issue with using a VPN. Your PC is on a "different" network, in another country, while your TV is on your local LAN. There are workarounds of course, I use a Chromecast with Google TV attached to my TV, and run a VPN client (Nord) on that device. It works well. I use that to connect to Netflix in the U.S. for movies (mostly) that are not available here, yet (theatrical commitments). You can't cast a Chrome screen for the same reason. You could connect the PC and TV via HDMI, Display Port or DSUB/DVI cable, and then direct the display to the TV (usually a function key). What is the make/model of your TV? You may be able to run a VPN client on it, natively. Apple TV. Amazon Fire TV and Fire Stick. Roku. Google Chromecast. Android TV. Nvidia Shield.

Is this change... permanent until some date, when it might be renewed or eliminated

Thank you for this thoughtful and nuanced response.

Once you have the DVD device you can then rip the DVDs, converting to something more modern/open like an mp4.

Why must we wait five years to "understand how the world really works"? Can't you just enlighten us now?

A new "glitch"? My last 90-day report was due by July 22, 2024 I received the email reminder 15 days prior. I filed (online) on July 8, 2024, and was approved on July 9, 2024. Yesterday July 12, 2024 I received another reminder, so at -10 days... email subject: [TM47] Notification for alien before the next appointment. Please apply TM47 request online or contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area before due date. I have never experienced this glitch in some ~ 12 successful online reports with the "new/current" system. The email caused some concern thinking my application was rejected. It still shows as Approved, and my Receipt of Notification still shows a new Notification date of October 6, 2024.

Can you share any details here? What is your reporting office? Did they previously accept 65K transfers from your U.S. bank to BBL? When did they communicate this change? Did they offer any documentation regarding this change in their "rules"? This is a major change, and obviously a bit concerning. How will others, who do not have U.S./SSA direct payments going to be able to use the "income" method?

FWIW, Fidelity just added the ability to make a first-party international SWIFT wire transfer - with a standing order on file - on-line, rather than making a phone call. I haven't tried it yet, but my standing order to Bangkok Bank in Thailand does show up in the first originating bank screen.

FWIW, U.S. Social Security is NOT a "Pension". One translation of the Immigration section said "...income such as a pension, interest, savings...".

FWIW, most of us fill them, including the TM.7, out on a computer editing the PDF, then re-use them year after year by just incrementing the year or age by one.

Not much left in Cat 5, maybe just 'shrooms?

Someone has made relatively clean PDF versions of "the four docs" before. These can be filled in, and are accepted at CW. I've used them from the old "three docs" days.

Is there any information required on this form that we don't already provide?

Lucy with the football comes to mind.

This one... I've searched a bit for info on this homicide, but found nothing. No clue if the person named was the victim or the perpetrator.

Can you share your reporting office?

Capt. Thamanat Prompow to the rescue.

This isn't new news, just one member of the committee who is a Permanent Deputy Secretary in the MoPH talking about the decision that the committee announced last Friday. Still a long way to go. Strange that they're recriminalizing hemp too.
