About 15 years ago. IIRC I only had a tourist visa.

Run the risk of being made a political hostage on the whim of Kim? Pass.

It depends on the terms used. <deleted>, kike, spic and slope are all racist. AFAIK the terms African-American, black, Asian and white are not.

I can remember turning up at a Bangkok Bank branch in Chiang Mai, armed only with my passport and 10,000 baht in cash. Took about 20 minutes of signing forms, and I was good to go. I can also remember renting a scooter without having to produce any form of driving licence.

His ancestors were not born in Africa. His grandfathers emigrated from Canada and England. Joshua Haldeman was a Canadian chiropractor who promoted racism, anti-semitism, conspiracy theories, and apartheid. Fruit does not fall far from the tree.

The term "African-American" is usually applied to black people. In case you have not noticed, Musk is white.

Looking at this thread, I am quite surprised by the number of idiots posting I have on ignore. Americans don't realize the government is now an oligarchy.

Trump tariffs against Australia are the same as tariffs against Canada, spitting in the face of an ally.

You should. Canada can sell the 50% of oil it supplies to you elsewhere. One province has stopped the sale of American alcohol. The American auto industry is heavily dependent on Canadian businesses for components, assembly, and supply chain integration. Straws in the wind.

Pensioners living in Thailand do it so they can have a reasonable standard of living. Forcing them to join the homeless in the USA is as clear a case of dumbf***ery as I have seen posted.

If I knew what delusional conspiracy theory you were talking about........

Yes, I noticed how popular Americans were with Canadians.

I don't know why they are called civil servants. They don't act like servants, and usually are not civil.

Trump also said he would end the Ukraine war in a day. He said he would bring down living costs, how's that going?

Reading is obviously not one of your skills.

We all view events through a different lens. IMO yours is rose-colored. Trump is Mr. Clean? Tell that to the women he has molested, and the contractors he has cheated.

The OP is satirizing Bob/bignok etc.

Historians mark the fall of the Roman Empire as beginning with the accession of Commodus as Caesar. IMO it's highly likely historians will be using Trump as the marker for the same fall. Quote: Commodus was an unpopular and erratic ruler who focused on personal pleasures rather than governing. His actions weakened the empire, but they didn't cause its immediate collapse. Sound familiar?

How effective that is depends on (a) how thick the steak is (b) how thick the person doing the cooking is.

About 4 months ago, I was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia after going to the emergency department of Chiang Rai's government hospital. Four bedside visits by two doctors, both spoke excellent English. OTOH, I broke my forearm in a scooter accident some time ago. A surgeon was very keen to pin and plate my arm, but only after waiting 48 hours for a medication to clear my body. I persuaded him to settle for a cast, my arm healed normally. I agree the competence of doctors in Thailand is something of a lottery. Unless it's an emergency, any surgery I have is done in Australia.

Sick puppies are into schadenfreude.

PM 2.5 running at 55 in my Chiang Rai condo.

It's only understandable the Thai elite would want to be educated abroad. What percentage of the Thai population are that wealthy? The proposition a GF, educated to that level, would even give a foreigner a second glance, is my first encounter with supreme BS today.

I understand it's not possible to polish a turd, and I did not know there is a Soi 6 in Hong Kong. IMO the shtick has run its course, good while it lasted.
