  1. I agree, but if officially stamped government documents are not accepted, what is?
  2. I know someone whose relative died in Thailand. He went to the bank with the will and death certificate. The manager read both and signed off. These documents were stamped and signed by the district office. PS This is why the will maker should deposit the will with the District office. They know who made the will.
  3. Banks will do whatever is written in a legal Thai will. Best to leave it with the local District office. They will confirm it is your legal will later.
  4. Maybe you missed the bit about Biden trying to contact the family and Trump preferring golf.
  5. Just goes to show, check the legality of taking drugs abroad before leaving home.
  6. So when the budget was 500 billion baht it paid 50 million people. Now it is reduced to 450 billion baht it still pays 50 million people. 50 million times 10,000 Baht is 500 million Baht. What have I misunderstood? Or is it about the source of funding only?
  7. Capitalism is all about beating the next person. Can't compete? Get out of the market. However, today it seems to be, we can't compete so let's ban their products or put up artificial barriers.
  8. Thai parent: "Don't hit bullies back." Christian parent: "Here's an AR 15. Go back and show that bully." There are different styles of parenting I guess.
  9. He tried to leave via the front door?
  10. So unruffled the next day he went to play golf. What a hero. He forgot to check in on the family of the dead guy though.
  11. There is one person benefiting from the price rise and I wouldn't be surprised if he sells, pockets the profit and thumbs his nose at the mugs.
  12. The amount disbursed is just a short-term solution. Investing in better quality education is a long-term solution. Ending the need for kids to buy school and scout uniforms would save a lot for poor parents. Registering all working age people with the tax authorities and following up to see they filled in the tax forms would bring in more to the coffers seeing as there are tax dodgers everywhere. (I knew one shop that looked scruffy and poorly decorated but upstairs was like a museum with Ming Dynasty pots in glass cases.)
  13. My guess is it is irrelevant to the gun charge. Whether it is politically important my questions are: 1. What position hid Hunter hold in the White House? 2. Was he a government or political employee anywhere in the USA? 3. If the information in the laptop is relevant to his father, and the FBI knows the contents, why hasn't this information been used by the Republican party who could have made some hay with it (assuming it is damaging)? Just interested...
  14. America is a capitalist country. Trump is a capitalist. A match made in heaven, according to god.
  15. I agree and would like the system to be more inclusive. However, there are many who like what they know and prefer the current system.
  16. I thought Clinton was on the left. Yet he passed the law.
  17. It is quite legal for anyone with a PhD to call themselves Doctor. It is accepted everywhere in the world. Jill Biden has a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Delaware and master's degrees in education and English from West Chester University and Villanova University, and returned to the University of Delaware for a doctoral degree in education. I am sure people don't call themselves Doctor in private. It's just a title. Dr. Richard Dawkins Dr. Brian May Dr. Condoleezza Rice Dr. Stephen Hawking and so on.
  18. It is illegal for non-citizens to vote. Period. This is clear in 18 USC 611: Voting by aliens (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:18 section:611 edition:prelim). Clinton passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_Immigration_Reform_and_Immigrant_Responsibility_Act_of_1996). When someone reported on Instagram that the law does allow aliens to vote this was fact-checked and found false (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2024/05/14/1996-clinton-immigration-law-voting-fact-check/73645678007/). If caught they can be deported.
  19. I am aghast that the plastic bottle at the bottom of the photo is so clearly just thrown away. Don't these quality tourists understand that someone has to pick it up and make 5 Baht selling it on? Disgraceful.
  20. Find it, put it in a prison zoo to attract tourists, make money until it goes extinct again. The civilized reaction?
  21. While pointing out that people kept voting for 14 years for a useless government and what that means, Starmer should remember this is still not a period where Labour are held in good repute. The first 100 days will be a test of his understanding of what people want.
  22. A missed opportunity for the tattooist to cover the guy in Hello Kitty.
  23. I doubt the Republican shooter took only a few days to plan everything. These activities are usually not ad hoc. Biden's words do look bad in hindsight.
