Texas Chicken Bids Farewell to Thailand
KFC Thailand presumably adjusted the style to suit their Thai customers, not expat Americans, and it seems to have worked!

Sean “Diddy” Combs to Remain in Custody Ahead of Sex Trafficking Trial
Hmm. He's being held on remand in the same place as Epstein was, another of Trump's pals. Perhaps he needs to watch his back!

Very true. The Democrats have hopefully learned from this. Clinton was far too complacent.

Harris Leads Trump by 6 Points Following Debate Performance
Walz didn’t order Minnesota schools to put tampons in boys’ bathrooms or sign a bill requiring tampons to be put in all boys’ bathrooms. That’s not what the bill signed by Walz in 2023 actually says — and it’s not how the 15 Minnesota school districts say they have implemented the law. The law, intended to make sure students of all income levels and gender identities have ready access to menstrual products, says school districts and charter schools must make menstrual products like tampons and pads available at no cost “to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district.” The law never specifies that the menstrual products must be put in “boys’ bathrooms,” and it allows school districts to decide what counts as a bathroom “regularly used by students.” Districts are permitted to provide menstrual products in bathrooms for students of any gender, which are often single-stall rooms, rather than in their traditional multi-stall bathrooms for boys. All 15 of the districts that responded Friday to a survey of 25 districts, including the Minneapolis and St. Paul districts in the state’s two most populous cities, said they comply with the law without providing tampons in traditional boys’ bathrooms. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/politifact/article/fact-check-tim-walz-tampons-19660855.php

Harris Leads Trump by 6 Points Following Debate Performance
He didn't lie about his military service and why would anyone object, let alone ridicule, providing free sanitary products in schools? Other than the likes of Trump and Vance that is!

Aseannow 🙂 why aren’t you reporting how friendly the new government is towards cannabis?
Up to a point, I agree. Would you legalise all drugs?

Do you eat fast food - I had a KFC Zinger burger meal today
I suspect you're new here! Once you've lived here a while, you'll get sick of the over-sweet, over-spiced, MSG ladened Thai food!

Pocket money for my son
Correct. My 9-year-old gets 40 baht a day for school snacks and 50 baht a week for pocket money.

Best UK Bank whilst living in Thailand
I've always banked with Lloyds and have continued to do so since moving to Thailand 19 years ago. I do use a family address in the UK, but they know I live in Thailand. For online transactions I use my Thai mobile number to receive the OTP code, which usually works well.

90-day reports for children born in Thailand
So, if I decide to be ultra-cautious and do a first 90-day report for him, before his next extension, will he be fined 2,000 baht? 🤨

90-day reports for children born in Thailand
No. A child can only have Thai citizenship if they have a Thai parent.

90-day reports for children born in Thailand
Thanks. That's what I had assumed, but the IO threw me a little by querying why my son hadn't done one!

90-day reports for children born in Thailand
My son was born in Thailand in 2015 and has lived here all his life (he's a UK citizen). Every year his Extension of Stay has been extended, as my dependant (I have a work Extension). I have never done a 90-day report for him and this has never been questioned at Immigration when processing his extension. For the first time, last year, it was. I just shrugged my shoulders and said I thought he didn't need to do one as he's a child. They seemed to accept that and his Extension was granted. So, when should a child start doing 90-day reports? Children can't be fined, so if I do his first one now, will a fine be levied?
