Not only that, even the one that the SC told him to facilitate the return of that one, he has discussed this with the El Salvador leader so that the US has zero control on any of those sent there so that fellow sent illegally won't be returning in this lifetime. Trump is an Anti-American traitor to the nation (IMHO) who wants to rule the world and in his mind only of course thinks he rules the world right now. Meanwhile all the rest of the world except for a few mentally ILL (IMO) leaders like Trump's actions! It is about time for the Congress and Supreme Court to intervene and have him committed to some insane asylum IMHO

IMHO only of course, I think that Trump figured from the voting that people forgot just how many times he was a big loser and he wondered how he could be remembered forever - TARIFFs, he did learn something in college after all, what an idiotic thing to do, destroy the whole world's trade systme and he will go down in history as the biggest loser of all time - the KING of losing!!! got his throne now!

Nomad Capitalist I blv says that Colombia is really great for the rich and richest. Plenty of positives if you have the money!

Doi Inthanon, Chiang Dao, MaeHongSon, Tak there are many natural forests and mountains in the north with some absolutely gorgeous waterfalls and hiking trails. I am sure that there are travel guides that could name a lot of other places and the areas of your particular interest. You don't want to go into some areas during the full blown rainy season due to flooding. Enjoy! I did already over many years!

Hey Trump! Thanks a lot, you have all the answers to self destruction for sure and those idiot advisors of yours are as dumb or dumber than you! IMHO

At the same time, Elon's DOGE will be cutting any benefits those fired employees would have received too. A two edged sword against those thinking that they were serving the nation and its people who have abandoned them for sure as Joe citizen who worships Trump agrees with all that he is doing even though they realize that he is catering to the billionaires as the expense of the poor! IMHO

Yes, I think that Trump wants to make sure that he will be in the history books forever - although nothing positive about it. He has failed so many times that he realizes this is his chance to be remembered forever! What an idiot and sure glad that I am old. Those govt employees being dropped will have passed away from old age before any new manufacturing plants are built if any! And to top it off, most of the MAGAites and Congressfolks are letting him get away with destroying an economy that was booming in comparison with the rest of the world. Now he has trashed the friendly relationships between our allies and our nation. Since he won the election, the world's people are blaming all Americans for him being elected. MO anyway.

https://www.rd.go.th/english/index-html is the English language of the revenue department, has copies of the double taxation agreements between countries and thailand plus taxation reegulations, exemptions etc. good luck

well if they keep changing the "current" fad, it is hard for one to get organized against it. when the play master has no idea and is waiting for his next brain fart to change the game, then who knows what will happen?

some schools have swapped out farang English teachers for filipino English teachers - My experience was that sucked big time so we moved to different schools as the English training suffered and I am an American so I know the Enlish language well but could never be a teacher of such here. The people in charge of the schools obviously don't care either or they wouldn't swap out the farang English teachers that I also know. Not all but those I have experienced so...IMO a degree online from the PI will not make you a good English teacher for the Thais.

that comment sounds like the opinion of too many Thais when many are just pensioners of aveage means.

fire the teachers

yeah just read about the Dominican Republic, it has been upgraded/repaired had a fire a couple of years ago and approved for more festivities - guess the over 200 deaths don't count as the roof collapsed onto the crowd inside.

we Have read on this forum from the "experts" that seem to know the immigration visa area - even doing voluteer work here requires a work permit, and usually means that the farang needs to come into the country and get a proper visa, not a freebie. I did note on Thaiger yesterday or so that a young foreigner was bragging about coming in visa free, doing volunteer dog sitting and getting benefits from that "work" and no work permit either. SHe should have checked the rules before posting that story IMO but maybe the immigration folks will ignore her.

best be careful about reporting damaged bldgs as if the expert of that bldg says you are wrong and that now no one would consider buying or renting in that bldg (great for the notice you gave) but in thailand defaming anything about someone's work, bldgs, or whatever, if you are a farang expecially, you could be sued. From the initial reports, I personally would advise everyone considering buying or renting of any condo on a high-rise to be careful, as it is sometimes very difficult to assess the total danger without some DEEP work and inspection. There are way too few eperts for sure in this field here so they are being controlled by the govt I think to do all the govt bldgs first, then will take care of the rich if it follows the norm IMHO. I ahve a friend living in the US but they own a condo in a high-rise in Nonthaburi - did any of those damaged ones show up in that area. Nothing specific, just if there were damaged bldgs so I can advise him of what I have heard.

from experience in Thailand for many years, do not repeat do not publish any list of possible dangerous bldgs as the owners could then sue you if their "experts" determine that the bldg is safe. Also any of the owners wishing to sell would probably sue you too. But I also think that the government should be advising people what bldgs have extensive damage so that people can stay away until the experts determine what must be done. Many govt bldgs too seem to have a lot of damage. This forum does repeat I think what the govt wants to put out as far as total number of bldgs checked, safe or not safe but too few experts so it will take a long time before every bldg is checked IMHO if it ever happens anyway.

likewise, during our family travels, wifie checks in and I am never asked for my p/p nor have I had a TM30 submitted for me. Now we are in BKK temporarily (2 years) so had the landlord submit a TM30 which I then keep a copy with me for immigration at the BOI, they were surprised when I did my 1st year report of abode and had the copy with me though they just looked at it, and returned it, thanking me.

From what I have read since the earthquake, there are a limited number of "experts" to check all the buildings. The govt has directed the juristic individual responsible for carrying out the initial inspections and then request the experts come to check if the damage looks bad enough but what that is who knows as the experts chip away until they can find metal support inside the load bearing pillars and walls. already. there have many bldgs belonging to the govt that have been determined to be unsafe. This forum has been including some of the official reports but to what extent I have no idea. And then yesterday there was another 5.9 tremor of the same fault line felt even in Chiang Mai city area especially in any High-rise bldgs. Even smaller tremors can bring down bldgs that have been weakened and that are not repaired properly. Mistakes happen - look at the reports from the Dominican Republic.

listen to all the economic experts...predicting recession only they named it Trumprecession so that the world history would be documented showing what happens when an idiot destroys a country's economy. MHO anyway since I am no expert but I certainly can understand what it looks like he is trying to do. Thinks he can rule the world too if only the Supreme Court and Congress help him out in setting up his throne!

especially in the Punjab region! women are just a tad lower than whale crap for those people.

either get a qualified repair person or google the" repair of household appliances" as it appears that there are repair kits available for the homebody repairer. Kits claim almost invisable repair easily done!

like I said many times, Trump the greatest negotiator but look, now the stuff we were selling to them and making money have been replaced by those products from other countries

By the time any factories are built in the US IMHO all the current citizens will be long dead and buried, maybe their grandkids might see something but then robots will be doing all the work!

As more and more products that are used by millions found to be on the tariff list, Trump will most likely exempt those too and before you know it almost everything from there will be exempt or China will continue to reap trillions on those products. Meanwhile all the things the US was sending to them have now been replaced by the products from Canada, japan, S. Korea or other countries.

By the time that any manufacturing plants are built, those troops being reassigned to the US will have passed away from old age!
