  1. Except about 8 days of almost non stop signing of countless orders, mostly just revenge on whatever biden had signed and which therefore must be reversed / cancelled. And with much spoken dialogue by trump falsely criticizing the dems for every breath they took. Never mind that there's many other highly critical matters that need attention. Just wondering when he will be on the golf course, can't not keep up his record of the most hours ever spent on the golf course by a sitting president.
  2. My Thai son, his 4 kids and after a bit of coaxing son's wife all love it. We all have breakfast together 7 days a week. My job is to ensure the plate with toast and Vegemite and other spreads is never empty. Son's Thai mother in law (MIL) tasted the toast and Vegemite and said it was revolting and tried to stop the grandchildren from eating it. My son soon put a stop to that. A few days later (breakfast time) I did a mixed plate of half slices of toast and: jam, honey, peanut butter, cheese, sliced tomatoes and Vegemite. MIL keen to try anything ate a couple of toasts with jam or whatever and then Vegemite. She didn't realize she had eaten it. Then my son brought it to her attention. She insisted she hadn't eaten the toast with Vegemite. Son asked his wife, his 4 kids and me to put their hands up if they saw grandma eating toast and Vegemite. All (incl. me) put their hands up. Grandma made an excuse to leave the kitchen. Later returned and asked me to make her some toast with Vegemite and same every time she visited us until her later demise.
  3. Thanks. Can you please share the name / location of a photo shop that does these photos in CM? Appreciated.
  4. Please share the process to get acceptable photos. Any member resident in Chiang Mai aware of local photo shop / outlet where folks can get acceptable photos? Thanks.
  5. Sure the Hamas attacks were not OK. Sure the jews were treated badly in WW2 / the holocaust. But don't forget the long past history over decades of the Palestinians being given very poor treatment / disgraceful treatment by the Israelis.
  6. Based on fact. My multinational employer wanted to have a regional seminar for all staff in the Asia / Middle East region. First venue chosen was Malaysia but company admin. then discovered that Israeli staff (at that time about 12 people) could not enter Malaysia. Indonesia then considered, again discovered Israelis couldn't attend - cannot enter Indonesia. The seminar was held in Bangkok. No further comment.
  7. As is standard for Malaysia, persons presenting an Israeli passport not allowed to enter Malaysia. same for Indonesia. All based on religion.
  8. Call musk, he can fix all, forget laws etc.
  9. What amuses me is that no matter what title / acronym people use the fact is that gay people exist and in much bigger numbers than most realize, world wide. Trump and his gang seem to be hoping they can rid the USA of homosexual people in the military, in government and in daily life. They just show their ignorance. Also in the 'mix' is that folks like trump, and all in his party, just don't know who might be gay in their family, their company, amongst their friends, this generation, previous generations or next generation, whether out or not out, and probably in their ignorance have never thought about it. Changing the acronym back to a previous version is also showing their ignorance.
  10. Perhaps the high chlorate version better for cleaning stains from sheets etc?
  11. Partly because many Thai officers just don't know how the typical flow of western names. And some western passport officers also Aussie buddy took his Thai wife to Australia using her Thai passport. On arrival Aussie passport officer said 'but maybe this passport (Thai p'port) is wrong because it only has two names. Aussie guy had to explain 'but Thai people only have 2 words in their complete name (name / surname). Aussie p'port guy said 'are you sure about that? He continued but what's her christian name? Aussie husband had to explain 'she's not christian', she's Buddhist and her first name is xxxxxxxx. Then p'port guy understood and said: - 'Welcome home mr hhhhhh' - 'Welcome to 'Australia Ms llllllll, please enjoy your stay', and gave her a card with Several languages on the cad including Thai, saying If you have any ongoing questions about your visa don't hesitate to call xx xxxx xxxx, there's Thai language speakers available if needed.
  12. That depends on the laws / regulations of the receiving country, not on Thai regulations / attitudes.
  13. Boring, again, blocked
  14. And is the appropriate insurance in place / up to date.
  15. Turns out several other countries have already successfully installed similar systems. Bottom line, seems all countries want to know where tourists / visitors are staying whilst in the country.
  16. I guess your real aim is to take some upskirt photos. Bad boy.
  17. Mixed picture. The farang around the table who haven't purchased an EV all fit well into the picture 'not yet because there's nowhere to recharge the batteries. One added, 'I haven't purchased an EV because I don't want to go to a service station every time I need to charge and sit on the kerb for 2 hrs.' Others tried to convince this guy there's many locations for recharge with added facilities / shopping, and you can recharge at home. His response was 'but my house is not wired as a commercial premises so that's not possible'.
  18. Original message says submit the completed arrival/departure card on line before arrival. I've never heard of submitting a form before arrival, so how many folks will arrive and be confronted with this at the passport desk?
