  1. That would be a perfectly fine temple
  2. Good on this end. Hasn’t always been easy as par for the course for most any relationship. Either work through it or move on. Always have hope.
  3. Maybe find a girlfriend to cohabitate with. Teach English online or classroom. Maybe Cambodia can be cheaper for you.
  4. There are plenty of ex bargirls here in the USA. How many denied? Who knows. All you need to do is simply laid out: Thai visa applicant need a clean health and legal record and answer basic questions. There are other things.
  5. Not much will change. It's all bluster and BS and grifting by politicians, particularly the incoming president. It's impossible to change the immigration llaws. There would would be no "illegal" immigration if they simply fixed the work visa system. They just need to uptick the applicants for jobs in construction, meat packing plants, and agriculture. It's all bs. they are now talking about only going after those who had their applications denied and those who need to be deported (criminals). It's all BS. That's it. BS and grifting. Kicking the can. Wasn't Tictok a national security threat? What happened there? It's all BS. All BS. All BS by politicans. Very little will happen. and USCIS immigration laws won't change a bit.
  6. That doesn't seem to be the case at all based on my observations. Lots of ex-bar girls married and in the USA. Fiance visas are "pretty easy" to get. We know of people with strong, established ties, money, businesses who simply can't get a tourist visa. Work visa? Yes. Marriage visa? Yes. Fiance visa? Yes. Study visa? Yes. We know a lot of people who have these types of visas. That's how those Thai people come to the USA. For some reason, it appears that a tourist visa has been a high risk visa. Like its radioactive to give out. Anecdotally, it appears a high-risk situation as the person can come to the USA and simply disappear. We can assume the government tracks metrics/statistics on the probability of people disappearing into US society to work in the underground economy with different visas.
  7. Based on what I've heard, a lot of Thai people in the past have traveled to other countries, particularly the USA, and simply disappeared. Working in the underground economy. There's too much temptation to make $15 an hour when a day's wage in Thailand can be $10 a day. Even at age 55, they could disappear and make bank on working and sending money home. It appears it has nothing to do with the applicant, but the government cautious. I knew of someone many years ago who came to the USA to study and they disappeared. The found a Thai partner with a green card and somehow she will just stay illegally in the USA forever?
  8. Why is this a scandal if this is de facto business in Thailand? My expat Thai wife and I have talked about this and part of the reason neither of us want to live in Thailand. America can suck, but it aint bad at all.
  9. I'm a moderate, but the less of two evils for me in terms of people's rights is the Dems, but hold my nose when I vote.
  10. I had only wanted to move to Thailand because I'm tired of the same old, same old of America. Police are terrifying in America - threatening bullies, often, Jack Kerouac mentioned it in his 1948 book, On the Road. Not much has changed. Also, proximity to other countries. The weather - good and bad. The value, which is sort of there. As expensive as America is, it can also be healthy and affordable as well. It's not all dollars and cents. Many things in Thailand impact that value. I had been trying to get to Thailand for a decade, but my Thai wife is here and everything is okay. Thailand seems less desirable. And my wife can't stand the Thai heat. Ironic? If people find $$$ value in Thailand, its diminished greatly by what developing countries like Thailand provide or don't provide.
  11. It's essentially up to government to enact and enforce laws. Everyone else can give their two cents to what laws enacted. That's where I find government essential and what makes it different from private businesses that will often do anything to profit - at the risk of life and limb. Morals and ethics be damned.
  12. It's still like that mostly. Formatting via copy paste from website: — exit, a roof exit is required in the rear half of the bus to provide a means of egress when the bus is overturned on either side. (US gov site. Google AI: School buses don't have seat beltbecause they are designed with a passive restraint system called compartmentalization, which protects students in the event of an accident. This system includes: Closely spaced seats: Seats are packed tightly together to create cushioned compartments for students. Padded seats: Seats are wider, thicker, and have high backs to protect students. Energy-absorbing seat backs: Seats are designed to absorb the force of a crash. School buses are also designed to withstand a lot of impact and are less likely to roll over than other vehicles. However, some say that compartmentalization doesn't fully protect students in all types of crashes. For example, if a child is only partially seated in their seat, they might fly down the aisle instead of hitting the seat in front of them. Some states and school districts have passed laws requiring seat belts on school buses. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has also pushed for lap and shoulder seat belts on school buses.
  13. Perhaps: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/handle.asp
  14. Similar to what happened in June in Wyoming. A two-lane road, but one that was highly traveled.
  15. Can only contemplate the date either way, ambivalent as it is in life.
