If your are referring to the rioting instigated by Trump on the nations's capital building then ask those police who were injured or the family of those that died because of the rioting. If you didn't watch the video live, then you obviously don't know what happened and if you did watch it live and still believe it was non-violent then you are brain dead already IMHO.

sorry for your wife's migraines - R U the cause? kidding! google migraines cause possibly foods/drinks as the researchers learn more almost daily about the foods we eat and the resulting health dangers or benefits are being exposed. Just a suggestion as I like to think that I also have a healthy diet based on the 2 food research best sellers by Dr. William Li.

this was a clip, I do not know what was said how it was said or alll the circumstances - I just read the charge they talked about and I have been seeing more and more of this same type of activity among other bad behavior. I don't know all that occurred as there is usually very little except sensationalism in the clips so I just accept the police story/charges.

since I don't drink alcohol, smoke dope or do drugs - not even aspirin/tylenol and haven't had a headache at all for more than 30 years, I answer and usually put IMHO because that is what it is for the most part on this forum - opinion. When one askes for information on a specific subject I provide that information if I am positive about the facts. The charge agains this person - that Thai law says that they know they cannot pay for a meal/service yet partake of it anyway. I see more and more of these from visitors to this country, plus other regular crimes. I realize Thailand welcomes as many visitors as they can process so included among the good visitors are those that need to be treated as the dogs that they are and need to be sent out of the country and not allowed back in. IMHO anyway. You obviously have your opinion and I respect that but maybe you are one takes chemicals, drugs, booze or something which clouds your responses so if you don't like my response ignore it and just put me on your "do not disturb list".

You can tell that this is a Maggot as he immediately blames biden for his actions as an excuse for Trump's deals.! and I am by no means a biden fan either!

yeah Doi Suthep got it quite a bit yesterday too according to the news clip.

well now he will be having freebies though not the way he was planning I guess. Lock him away for a few years then send him home.

I believe if all govt follow the same rules, that a passport is still the property of the issuing government and they can require one to return it to the issuing department so might have a legal problem just by taking the passport. I also realize that like in the US the court can require one to turn in or surrender their passport to insure that they can't leave the country legally.

In your scenario, you should have mentioned not enough cash to buy beer or smoke some dope and that would have gotten the attn and no money no honey would have grabbed a few more. The biggest problem I see is the time required to get back to some kind of normal once something like that hits. Some of the storms in many different places must have been like that afterwards for quite some time.

ํyes, if you go out of Thailand, then return, the first 90-day report must be done in person - thus this might be why your online report was rejected.

Basically what the US embassy did was have a customer wanting such letter of income, the customer would have to swear that the information was accurate under penalty of a US law and of course pay upwards of $USD50. If in the US and you have a document that a notary public would attest to, it is the same thing - they don't go out and check out that document, they make you sign an affidavit under penalty of law there and you pay for that service. What actually happened and which is probably happening in other embassies too is that funds are being cut each year by many governments so the manning at embassies and consulates has dropped and thus services such as notary public at the US embassy and consulates.

I would have thought that there is nothing to question here based on experience and past comments on local schools. I also recognize that there are many international schools of good quality here also but if one can afford it then I do believe that sending one to a foreign country would depend on what country and what home support the student would have while there. too many questions to really provide any criticism of the pm.

arrest her, put her in jail for 3 months and if still unable to pay fine, an additional period after which deport her and not let her back in.

Yes, basically the finance and trd folks have said that it is necessary to grow the taxable income base if they are to collect enough money each year.

Yes If I remember correctly, the average personal taxes paid in the OECD countries is 34% of workers while Thailand has slipped to 13% of Tax residents/workers paying income taxes.

Yes, in one of the recent articles on this problem, the finance people indicate that by Sept 2025 they will be short by 20 Billion yes Billion baht and need folks that have money outside Thailand should bring it in ASAP to help fill the coffers. But we still do not know what any changes might occur in the next Royal Decree.

yes, I am sure quite a few less, even at Ban Suan Plu in BKK in the early 2000's was fairly uncrowded when I did my yearly check there. As more and more retirees and those seeking a kinder tax system or no taxes on income at all, but now that is changing not only in Thailand but in other countries too.

yeah, but now even though the activity room is much larger, it is full - this number of people could not even fit in the old office. Anyway they will need to open an additional office as the annex in Central Festival seems very busy too. Glad I no longer have to do the retirement O yearly for a few years even though I only spent about an hour waiting inside after the half hour wait under the tent.

Yeah maybe on some of those things, but many of those are being carried out through fraud waste and abuse of legal collections of money. IMHO too many elected officials do waste tax monies, are corrupt and people like those in the pharmaceutical and food industries, especially of the USA should be held liable for all the sick people that the corporations have produce through their products. Now I and others have to pay for those sick fat people that have no control over what they eat. But, I grew up poor, knew I couldn't live off of welfare so I worked hard and was successful enough to enjoy a retirement. It didn't come cheaply, I earned it. In hard times I never turned to drugs or alcohol or too much poor foods. I realize that the generations have changed, and now look at just how bad it is becoming. I fail to see a happy citizenry in the US, everyone seems really unhappy. But obviously elsewhere too, seeing some actions of those realy unhappy and violent people. I don't have any answers, but I do have my own opinion of those that cannot control their emotions without it impacting other people.

If a bartender continues to serve booze to someone obviously well under the influence or the booze contributes to an accident then the bartender should share in being responsible. That is MHO anyway. Maybe harsh but that was the life I was raised in and career that I worked in so after 78 years, I will not change my opinion on this subject but I also realize that obviously a lot of Brits on this forum have a totally different opinion from mine. I find that many on ths forum, not matter the subject don't often agree with me but that doesn't bother me at all.

yeah and continually reading about "laced with fentanyl" and seems that many pushers contiually "fix" stronger drugs to make one more of a user or more expensive user IMHO but I really have no idea what goes on in the minds of users nor pushers nor producers of drugs

yep you began with it's IDIOTS!

anyone choosing to do drugs should be examined to see why they are that screwed up iMHO plus like what am I "logically" buying that funds criminals?

I was under the impression that the Immigration regulation on the 90-day report after returning from out of the country was required to be done in person - maybe to do another tm.30 even though it is the same location that an expat may have been using forever.

Too many greedy people hoping to cash in! The pushers are making so much money they don't don't even care about those mules caught IMHO.
