Where are you going? Do you really need it?

It's technical, but there is a principle in the case of a previous ruling, where. if there were new evidence relating to the 1907 French map, Thailand could contest the previous Preah Vihar decision. In the current case, Thailand seems to be asserting its maps as evidence of where the border is located, so it's up to the ICJ to decide which country is in the right. I believe that Thailand could also refuse to engage in the ICJ case, without giving a reason. If analysis shows that Thailand has a case on reviewing the 1962 ruling, it should insist that its claims be reviewed as well as the current Cambodian claims.

Maybe Thailand should go to the ICJ with a very good law firm this time, and hopefully the opposing party will not have a retired US foreign minister as its legal counsel. Remember that 1962 was in the Cold War era. Also, now the 1907 map can be forensically investigated. It makes no sense that Cambodia would have one bit of territory on the top of an escarpment that delineates the dividing line between the countries.

There was a BKK-JFK flight many years ago. It took 18 hours. Maybe the fuel cost was too much, but Singapore Airlines has a flight to New York.

In Chiang Mai I have done the TM47 by mail when returning from abroad and then done subsequent reports online successfully.

Actually the people of Gaza did not create Hamas. It arose as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood to provide social services in Gaza in the 1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Hamas See "History: Origins". The Israeli government supported Hamas and pre-1988 social organization to counteract the secular PLO (divide & conquer strategy).

No, he is what a Republican uised to be.

Next question: There is a health insurance requirement, or alternatively a USD 100,000 sort of guarantee. Since I'm 79 years old, is this insurance obtainable? In the alternative, if anyone has done this, please explain the procedure of transfer (to BOI?) and are there certain specified investments such a Thai government bonds?

Is there an office to do LTR in Chiang Mai?

The US Supreme Court has already ruled that there must be a hearing for each individual before these bizarre deportations.

You don't follow the news. The Supreme Court has ruled that all these deportations must be precede by a hearing where the government gives its evidence and the potential deportee can respond. While these deprtations might not be a vio;ation of the Leahy Law, the whole idea of deporting people for imprisonment without trial or sentencing in a foreign country, and the US government paying for the service, seems ripe for endless lawsuits against both El Salvador and the US.

While they have citizenship, they are deprived of various rights, such as getting building permits. Amnesty and Human Rights Watch have issued expensive reports on apartheid in the occupied territories and Israel itself. These people are the few who did not flee in 1948 in what we would today call ethnic cleansing.

If the story of the Jews in Egypt actually happened, they could have walked over the Isthmus of Suez since the Suez Canal was not there back then. No need for miracles.

I agree that Harris was/is a loser, but I blame Obama for having picked Biden. Have there been any "tell alls" on how Obama settled on Biden as his running mate?

SIMs are not expensive in Thailand. Also, the OP should download LINE, but maybe he would have to be in the country where his SIM is based. So get a SIM here and then download LINE. It's used by people and businesses for phoning and messaging here. Maybe WhatsApp is similar, but LINE is the choice in Thailand.
