I think I'll stick to returning the form via regular airmail. It's been working fine the past two years.

Why should the Chinese want to come here? The movie that got them started is what? 10 years ago? What is the lure for them? I do think safety is a false concern. The only unsafe place for a tourist is on the road. But why would Chinese rather see Thailand instead of Japan or Vietnam?

Speaking of adapt or else, I'd say 90 percent or more of those jobs you listed will soon be done by AI, if they aren't already. Day of the digital nomad passed before it ever got started.

So he was in a Triad. Just like Chuwit warned.

I am not against this guy getting some help through GoFundMe. I hope he comes around okay and gets home safely. But I am beginning to think that Thailand needs a special Visa for British that enforces some sort of health care requirement on them, especially the younger ones who seem to be the ones most likely to get into these situations.

I'm talking about future elections, which will endorse or condemn the present action. Personally, I believe all troops should be withdrawn and let Los Angeles respond as it wants. But ICE should have full authority to protect themselves with deadly force if assaulted, blockaded, or otherwise attacked. Otherwise, if residents want to burn down their shops and stores, that's fine with me.

There is only one poll that counts. An election.

"But the dogs won't eat it."

Democrats are messing up. Except for Fetterman. Fetterman for president in 2028

Russian or Urdu. Pick your poison.

From now on, make Russians pay up front.

When I first saw the picture, I thought he was walking his dog.

I've seen your type posts for the past decade every time there is a discussion of even a minor rule change at Immigration. Ten years. And there is always some guy who has talked to an IO, a colonel in Immigration, or his neighbor who "is connected" and who knows for certain money in the bank requirements were going to be pushed up to 1 million, 2 million, 5 million. And here we are. Frankly, I thought these type unsubstantiated claims coming out of the blue without any link to a credible source were against forum policy.

Trump isn't the only fool. While he's enabling Putin, Macron and Merz are snuggling up to and enabling Xi.

I got the Chinese vaccine. Nothing else. I'm fine. But wouldn't touch the mRNA if you paid me, which I believe they were doing at one stage in the US.

Right before Covid I was getting my letter around 7 June. Last year, I received it on 17 June.

Trump is sufficiently degenerate with or without the Epstien connection.

That would mean Trump would be willing to allow Elon to make a monkey out of Trump. That would also mean that Elon is improving on God's creation.

Trump is such a lunkhead. You would think that even his voters would begin to see it by now. It's funny to go onto Twitter/X and see who is taking sides with whom. Catturd and Laura Loomer are threatening everyone who says anything negative about Trump. Ian Miles Cheong is protecting his blue checkmark by backing Elon. So is Alex Jones. Cernovich is on both sides. And FWIW it seems AOC has gained another 15 pounds.

Agree. I've always thought that was a possibility. Don't need to move the company. Just the people.

Elon has worked wonders with SpaceX. He saved the American space program. The rest of the stuff he does, including Tesla, is marginal. And his involvement with Trump and DOGE was a disaster, absolute stupidity. But he is incredibly stupid about politics himself. The only question is: Would Trump be idiotic and selfish enough to destroy the US space program for the sake of personal petty revenge? Answer: Of course he would.

Just more chaos. Nothing new in Trumpworld.

How smart was Vivek to get out of DOGE less than two weeks after he was named to lead it with Musk?

So they take away online banking, close branches, reduce the ATMs. The next thing you know SCB will require you to go to North Korea to get your money. At least Bangkok Bank still has online banking.

Thanks for solving the mystery for me. Also explains why I'm getting my transfer so much more quickly. By the morning of the 3rd again this month. Used to be the 4th or even later.
