  1. Sources and links are the same thing. You're the one saying reading comprehension is a vanishing skill?
  2. Trump a winner on the economy? Harris will increase the national debt by $1.2 trillion, Trump by $5.8 trillion. You have weird ideas about winning. Trump will put Trump first.
  3. It's new at Chiang Rai, which is why I started this thread. Thanks for your useful contribution.
  4. The support of a felon and sexual predator by religious groups deserves to be maligned. Rank hypocrites.
  5. Obviously you don't realise that is the modus operandi of both Trump and Vance. Vance has admitted he made the pet-eating story up.
  6. A bit off topic, but I have 800K in the BB account, 750K in a Kasikorn account. I can easily top up the Kasikorn account to 800K, and leave it untouched. If I use the Kasikorn account for future extensions, will I be able to get a 12 month statement without a delay of a week? If I have the 800K in the Kasikorn account PRIOR TO my next extension, can I use that account for proof of funds on succeeding extensions? So many rules, just to boost the employment numbers.
  7. You think the bank is going to let me do thirty odd debits and credits a month of 5 baht without charging any fees? What are you smoking?
  8. One point that concerns me. The bank officer said the 12 month statement will be from October 1 2023 to October 21 2024, the date my extension application is dated. I will not be able to go back to Immigration until the 28th or 30th. Will the bank statement still be accepted as valid?
  9. It used to be standing in a hammock, until I fell and hit my head.
  10. Makro stocks a range of Campbell's soups - corn, cream of mushroom, chicken etc. Alternatively, buy a blender. I make a tasty thick soup by pureeing Northern Thai sausage with freshly cooked vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli. That's a diet soup, use carrot and potato for carbohydrate content. Potato and ham or bacon should be good.
  11. I did not. It's OK to think of them as half-wits following stupid and ever-changing rules, is it not? Why the need for photocopies, bank letters and bank statements, when the bank book alone tells the complete story? I have a theory the paper generated by officialdom in Thailand ends up being recycled as the fibre component of health snacks in every 7/11.
  12. For the last 4 years, I have been submitting my retirement visa extensions at Chiang Rai Immigration. In those years, a six month bank statement has been sufficient. Today, I was told I needed to have a 12-month statement. Either that, or update the bank book once every month. Any half-wit looking at the bank book can see the balance has not gone under 800,000 baht for over ten years. You have been warned.
  13. Given Trump is a gold medalist in lying, why would you assume he will do as he says?
  14. The people to talk to at Centrelink are Financial Services Officers. Front-line desk staff are almost financially illiterate. I can remember one desk officer where I had to explain what call and put options were, as part of my list of assets as that point in time.
  15. Damn, you saw my prayer mat.
  16. One person in Wall Street says Trump will win, he represents the view of every inhabitant of Wall Street? Am I alone in noticing the closer it gets to November 5, the more threads are launched by MAGA adherents in support of Trump? The question is, how many are Russian bots?
  17. Zelensky will be negotiating from a position of strength if Harris wins. If Trump does, he won't.
  18. Please tell me when negotiating with dictators has ever worked out well for the other party. You might as well try negotiating with a crocodile to only chew off one leg.
  19. That will be nothing compared to the meltdown from MAGA when/if Trump loses. The Repubs are already preparing for all kinds of court challenges, although I don't know where they will get the money for the lawyers. Perhaps Musk or Putin will help out.
  20. No doubt you love Tom Lehrer too.
  21. I suppose the words Novichok and Navalny mean nothing to a Kremlin propagandist. Blatant lying as usual from you.
  22. I am not sure Ukraine can afford the luxury of an opposition when it is fighting for its existence. OTOH, Russia could end this war in a few days by withdrawing from the Ukraine territory it has illegally occupied and annexed. Russia would survive, Putin probably would not. That is no great loss to the world.
  23. AFAIK he is not poisoning opponents, imprisoning them to die in a gulag, or having them thrown out of windows.
