As others remarked, the cash may go to related Chinese businesses, not to Thai people. Maybe some money could be skimmed off as a roundabout way of getting funds out of China. Many possibilities.

You give him too much credit. How about Homo erectus pekinensis a/k/a Peking Man.

It's become an echo chamber for opportunistic reactionaries.

Isn't he going to sign on to the 6 week ban?

I did not fill in the "stay until" data, and my application was rejected with the reason "Please verify your visa Incomplete information." CM office.

I sleep on an air mattress with an electric air pump that can be inflated to the desired pressure. I remember visiting my Japanese mentor who was bedridden after a serious stroke. He also had an air mattress with an adjustable frame so that he could be sat up for meals. There are also foam mattresses that conform to body shape and sleeping position, although these may be hotter than air mattresses.

Best try to time your need for notarizations with trips back to US. Avoid the exorbitant notarial fees.

I had mine rejected even though I applied two weeks before. The previous 90-day online report was accepted. The only difference was that I stayed one night at a resort in my home province with tourist friends from Japan. Could the problem have arisen if the resort made an error by putting me also down as a tourist instead of Non-immigrant O visa type on the TM30 report? The reason for rejection: "Please verify your visa incomplete information." This arrived on a Sunday. So I then sent a TM47 by mail, and got back the Receipt of Notification. Then on the due date for notitfication I got an automated message that my report was due on that same day, even though the Receipt from the mail-in TM47 was dated 4 days before. Do the online and paper reporting systems work off of different databases?? Should I have sent an email to Immigration to inquire about the problem of "incomplete visa information"?

How long were these Chinese in Thailand? Maybe they had Chinese associates. Maybe the love angle was only a pretense to capture the victim for ransom.

Where are the new/old requirements. I'm anxious to know whether we need to file a new TM30 when returning from abroad on a reentry permit (CM Immigration).

I'm in CM, and latest online report was rejected. The only thing that changed was that since last online report I stayed one night at a resort on the Mae Rim - Samoeng Road, i.e. Chiang Mai province. Before that I had not stayed overnight anywhere since 2019 when we filed the TM30 after a foreign trip. On retirement O visa.

Maybe Trump should buy GITMO from Cuba and make himself presidente of GITMO.

There was an excellent program on BBC World about Christian Nationalism. One aspect of this is in effect elevating the Bible above the Constitution. The outcome where the US Supreme Court used dodgy logic to override Rowe vs Wade is a manifestation of this thinking.

Not to mention genocide.

In the South a lot of people feel the need for a gun in the car. Sixty years ago I went to visit a highschool classmate living in Dallas. He told me that his father, general counsel of a large oil industry company, always kept a gun in his car.

Earlier someone remarked that the testing methodology gave too many false positives, so if true that testing would have to be confirmed by other more reliable tests to have any relevance on custody issues. Also note that the testing was at a later hearing and not at the traffic stop, so only the immediate evidence should be considered as to whether the removal of the children was warranted.

That would depend on the insurance companies being willing to reimburse. Then there is the problem of the treatment codes in the US. It would no doubt require US government involvement as well, to change various laws or regulations. There is the concept that the patient has to be in a location where US law applies when care is delivered.

Maybe the passing lane in Tennessee is for whites only. This unstated rule has not been banned yet?

Maybe Google Translate was used without editing.

Are you US or another nationality? I myself am trying to understand how to deal with the situation now where I have almost no foreign interest/dividend income but pay tax on money brought into Thailand. I think that income in US equal to money brought in and taxed in Thailand can be reattributed as foreign income using provisions of the Thai-US tax treaty on forms 1040 & 1116. The point is to get a full tax credit from US on tax paid to Thailand. I am mystified how people can do this remittance from savings. If savings were mixed with current income abroad, why would the Thai tax authorities not claim on the current income first? Can they look at your foreign tax return?

Getting them out was also in aiding a democratic transition. Ilocos Norte is their territory in the old feudal system which persists today.

Ferdinand crossed a red line when he had Benigno Aquino Sr killed. That attack on the elite was too much. Marcos Jr seems to be threading the needle by having Duterte's daughter as his VP while taking a stand against China.

It's heading for the Florida west coast, home of vegigators and Republican zombies.

You would have to have it notarized in the US Consulate. In Thailand there is also something similar ("pipat") to handle matters in Thailand, but maybe a wife wouldn't need that. I'm not sure, but a court intervention might be needed. Logically the durable power of attorney would be created under the law of the state where the person last resided before moving abroad. Here is an explanation of DPA under Florida law, for example: https://afela.org/elder-law-faq/florida-legal-information-by-the-academy-of-florida-elder-law-attorneys/durable-power-attorney/ The acceptance by the person(s) acting on behalf could be done before a notary in the US in whatever state he/she/they are located.

Wishful thinking. The unfortunate reality is that Xi is a gambler, and the West and Taiwan are not prepared. The next few years are really dangerous.
