By hitting the teleprompter, which it did,scattering fragments to FBI agents as well. Do you read the news? -
He tells the same lies repeatedly and still inventing new ones. Why would he need a prompter? He sounds the same nutcase now as in 2016, that much is true. You're fooled because he's a good enough con man to do it to you. Simple answer.

Thai Athletes' Paris Olympic Uniforms Draw Criticism
RocketDog replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Only if the vehicles occasionally (or frequently) crash into each other, the audience, or other stationary object within 500m of the path. -
No. He's referencing Mr Random Word Rant. Can't even make a lettuce salad with his nonsense. His age is clearly telling. Oldest nominated presidential candidate in history no less. Rapid decline is all we can expect from him. It's only a matter of how fast and how far. I'm not a psychologist but it seems he's near bottom already.

If you support trump it seems obvious who has been FOOLed; for many years and counting I suspect.

Are they still utterances if they are spoken? Can utterances be un-uttered? Is milk an udderance? Asking for a friend.

Maybe the more important question is whether the horse could find the Water by himself? Which country would you nominate to be the leader of the free world? -
Legal Strategies to Reduce Thai Tax
RocketDog replied to Mike Lister's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
And if you buy THB at your home country bank you will pay huge FOREX rates. Also, traveling with a bid wad of cash seems like a bad idea to me. -
Tax on items delivered by post into Thailand
RocketDog replied to Jing Joe's topic in General Topics
Yes Lou. That's exactly what happened to me. I was just sharing the facts of my experience. Furthermore, as a warning to people using the US POSTAL SERVICE to ship parcels to Thailand, be aware that regardless of their advertised guaranteed delivery dates if they deem flight cancellations as the cause their guarantee is void. So I paid for 3-5 l day delivery which took 13 days to arrive (crushed and damaged) but will not be compensated. Very nice! As for another reply stating that there is no link to immigration, with all due respect, I will pay their fee anyway. I have zero faith in the fair machinations of Thai bureaucracy. -

BBL bank photo copies of Visa page.
RocketDog replied to arick's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Inconsistent application of laws, procedures, and rules permeate every facet of business and government in this country from restaurants and banks to civil offices. This is simple fact that anybody who has been here for a while takes for granted. Get used to it and always expect surprises since it will never change and always change. Things change from the last time things changed. It's called chaos. That sounds like nonsense double speak because that's what it is but it's still true. -
Tax on items delivered by post into Thailand
RocketDog replied to Jing Joe's topic in General Topics
I guess I just dodged a bullet. A parcel was delivered to my house yesterday by Thai post that was mailed from the USPS in colorado June 26th. By complete accident the Customs form that was attached to the Box did not match the contents of that box in any way or shape. The box was obviously opened by customs and there was some broken glass items because of box was half crushed. For the most part the contents seemed undisturbed and nothing was stolen. Nor was there any notice given that the box had been opened by customs as is done in USA. The most amazing thing of all was that there was some Thai documents taped to the box in an envelope claiming that I had to pay 105 baht VAT and they gave me a link to the several bank accounts that I could wire the money to. The document said the value was less than 1500thb, which it was, so only VAT was charged, no duty. Why they let the Customs form being completely mismatched from the contents in without comment is anybody's guess. My first reaction after finding broken items was that there was no way I was going to pay them 105 baht. Once I sobered up a little bit I realized that yes of course I would pay them 105 Baht because if I didn't who knows when it might come back to bite me at immigration or some other time coming or going from the country. Their country, their rules. Play the game or leave. I've got four other boxes coming over in the next few weeks so I'll find out if this was an anomaly or not and whether Duty will be charged or not. They only safe observation is that like so many things in this country, inconsistency in application of rules and laws is the norm. It just happened to work in my favor (mostly) this time. -

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
RocketDog replied to Rimmer's topic in Entertainment
Amen. I never feel bad if the download is a stinker. Just delete it. The price was right though. I don't watch TV except from 7-9pm. Just not a good use of my time. I'm into season 2 of Battlestar Galactica reboot. Worth a watch and better than the original. Sorry to say the blonde bombshell Cylon doesn't seem very attractive to me. -
I assume you know trees grown from avocado pits usually grow no fruit or don't breed true. I also have one myself. 12 foot tall but no fruit. Still it was fun to grow and looks nice.

TM30... I didn't know this.
RocketDog replied to Skipalongcassidy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Check the rules or ask your IM. YOU CAN FILE THE TM30 YOURSELF EVEN IF YOU LIVE IN A RENTAL HOUSE. I've done it several times in Chaam and Hua Hin. I see things like your post regularly but have almost given up trying to dispel this misinformation. -
