      The big question remains as to why would someone take the risk of arrest to enter Thailand illegally, when that person  has the means to do so with their own legal documents. 
 My take on at least one of the  failed attempts , is that someone or some organization is sending people to probe for weaknesses in the system  .Thai  Law Enforcement  should allow the fakers to reach their final destination to find out who they contact or interact with before officially arresting them for the illegal entry . If that is  possible  . Otherwise , these  stories are bound to keep showing up in the news.

Different Chinese woman.

Did you read the link I posted ?     Obviously,  it was  a different story and a different  woman ,  It's right there in the first paragraph.  Do you really understand the meaning  the word  "coincidence"  or  the word "situation"  Next time I'll use smaller words to make it easier for you to comprehend.    OK ? 

Definitions

Coincidence:    a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.

Situation:         a set of circumstances in which one finds oneself; a state of affairs

If the two women were in the same situation. It  does not mean they are the same person.

I really don't think anybody who understands the meaning of the word could make the mistake of thinking I said  it was the same person.

I cited a fox news debate.

I cited his response to any future debates.  If that changes we'll have something to talk about.

.

Why won’t kharris/ walz do a debate on the most popular cable network,Fox news

More recently , after an invite from Harris to a CNN debate,  Trump said that  it's too late to debate again due to the start of early voting in some States.     Does not seem likely that he's going to change his mind so the question is moot unless he changes his mind .

Harris accepts invitation for 2nd presidential debate, Trump says "it's just too late" for another one

 An odd coincidence . Same situation occurred on September 1st of last year.  This is  the aseannow.com post link:

Swift was a Trump supporter before and now she sides with Harris.

She did not endorse Donald Trump at any time. She supported Biden/2020 and now she supports Harris/2024.

Trump Falsely Implied Taylor Swift's Endorsement in August using  a fake A.I. generated ad on social media .  It was discussed on aseannow.com in the topic below:

Just another example of what he is willing to do to win without merit.

The next thing you know he will probably be touting political endorsements from  the Easter bunny and Santa Clause.

There are millions of Black Frenchmen!  Racist much?

@Baba Naba  ,Get a better pair of glasses and read my posts  again or have someone else  read them to you .    You are confusing my use of the words  "American" and   "African" with race instead of nationality ....... Also , who said anything about Frenchmen ?,   Black, White or otherwise .

   All American tourists are not white and  all African tourists are not Black but all tourists everywhere should be given the same rights and protections.

The  original story is about a Tourist in Thailand who had his money  stolen and was willing to use force to get it back. 

The story I posted was about an American Tourist in ROME Italy 40 years ago  who had his  wallet stolen and got it back by using force.

Bottom line is that both tourists have the same right to recover their stolen possessions in my opinion . Some posts seemed to belittle the Tourist in Thailand by questioning  (without any proof)  where he got his money from to begin with .

Tulsi on the other hand, now there is a woman who should be President.

 Just my opinion but your best bet would have been Nicky Haley. A lot of her predictions about Trump and even Harris becoming the main threat came to fruition. Her main problem was the fact that she just isn't a forceful enough speaker for people to get past the drone of her voice. 

Tulsi ran for president as a Democrat  . Right now , like Kennedy she would only be perceived as a turncoat. Her anti Harris rants sound more like jealousy than policy.

. However, they also eat carcasses aka carrion.  Often the parasitic eggs are picked up from  the scat of other animals that contaminates the berries and vegetation that they eat.

The source of my post  was not my opinion . It was the result of the research that traced the source of the parasites directly to the bears from Salmon. Here is a link to the website article.

https://blog.nature.org/2021/08/17/the-disturbingly-long-tapeworms-of-alaskan-bears/

"The tapeworm’s eggs are in Alaskan rivers, where they are eaten by crustaceans, which are eaten by salmon, which are eaten by bears. The tapeworm lodges in the bear’s digestive tract, where it lives out its days."

If you feel something moving in your mouth while eating salmon, stop eating it immediately.

    I gave up the idea of eating Salmon a long long time ago. My younger brother was treated for parasites when we were kids back in the 1960s era.....

    It's not unusual for bears to harbor parasites. In this case, the tapeworm comes from the bears' famous diet of salmon.

I was born in 1955. I could not get the hots for Barbara Eden/Dream of Jeannie  like my brothers but the girls listed below were always on my radar .....Elizabeth Montgomery x2 , Joey Heatherton, Diana Ewing, Juliet Prowse , DIANA RIGG in THE AVENGERS, 1961  and Jane Fonda of Cat Ballou, Barbarella and Klute fame.
