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.

Just updated the book from the 3 June deposit. It says TPP. Used to say FTT. I have a SSA account that has no ATM card. I have to go to the bank and show my passport to do a transaction.

Just noticed a relatively recent change. I get my ssa through bangkok bank direct deposit. The last few times on my sms notification it said it was paid using Promptpay. Never saw that before.

TACO time

The "low class" and criminal class foreigners coming in now are a result of opening up the floodgates to the Chinese and Russians. The longer visa free entry was the key. Organized crime needs time in a country in order to get, well, organized. Once that happens, the infrastructure is in place to flood in more of their type and it gets harder and harder to root them out. Srettha did this because of his desperation to fill up unsold condos. Chuwit was the only person giving a warning this was going to be the result.

The government is now a family owned business. In perpetuity.

Only if they wish it so three times while clicking their heels together.

Fetterman is a good senator. I would like to see him as president. Only one difference I have with him. Instead of LGBTQ, I support LGB. Imagine what I nightmare had that kook, Dr. Oz, won.

HoL is stuffed full of pop singers and TV and film stars, isn't it? They're voting to clog things up out of their own self interest. Should all recuse themselves.

Shins continue to get everything they want. They've now completely outmaneuvered everyone. Say what you will, but Prayuth was better.
