That is how most countries citizenship law is interpreted. In the US we have the 14th amendment to the Constitution 「"....All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside....." 」and of course all children are afforded public school education regardless their immigration status. No big deal just at this point in 2023 all amendments no longer relevant to the times should be changed or abolished, starting with the gun nonsense.

Of course I can find them online. I hoped to indicate not knowing where they are sold, in Chiang Mai The backpack outdoor guy went under a couple years before Kad Suan Kaew closed.

These governments issue currencies Just a bit of paper. Really, is it your money? You are supposed to earn it legally. Why should criminals be allowed to use an exchange system based on the faith and credit of governments whilst scoffing and the laws and running scams and crimes? Of course ill gotten gains should be seized. Legally required taxes unpaid, forfeited with penalties. Similarly you should be locked out of the the electronic financial system and accounts frozen, like a rogue nation. Much easier to fully implement in a cashless economy. Any no more geezers faffing about with dirty notes and coins holding up the checkout line.

I have my cards in RFID sleeves now don't know if they work. The cloning problems I have endured seemingly always after a swipe (hotel, gas pump etc.). Never lost a satang my companies are very good at shutting this nonsense down. One time I supposedly had bought physical gold and quote "High End Audio Equipment" in Bangalore India (never been there) whilst I was actually in Manila.????

An "F-bag may" be a homophobic slur. I do not usually carry my man bag, man purse, or "murse", but it is prepared always in a larger bag when I fly. If I ever have to evacuate off the airplane or escape a hotel fire my passport(s), keys, IDs/cards and wallet are coming with me! My mobile is always in my pocket or nearby. Everything else can burn up for what I care I used to get them at the a pack shop at the now defunct Kajd Suan Kaew mall in Chiang Mai. Metal cables in straps and locking zippers for the close in slash/pull attacks. pacsafe is the brand I used to give them to friends as gifts. High quality and durable not sure where to find now

As long as I have been loosely following economics, even before that been hearing of the "impending" collapse of the US dollar. Maybe there is no viable alternative, or could it be something else? -
I believe cash should be banned in all countries I want every kroner of income taxed and every satang of purchases subject to VAT if appropriate. I hear "should have said heard or read" most business in Stockholm do not accept cash. Is that incorrect information. I have only been to Göteborg airport.

Just a comparison. No need for the tedious anti-American virtue signaling There are businesses here catering to uneducated palates and wallets- same overseas

Bangkok to Celebrate Pride Month in June
Captain Monday replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
"Gay rights are fine we just don't want it shoved in our faces" I don't know how many times I have been compelled to respond to this bigoted trope including the other day other than the most aggressive homophobes to always turn out to be closeted. Then you turn on the TV or look at the news or internet and one is actually being ASSAILED 24/7 with heteronormative imagery and messaging pushing the traditional" family values and living arrangements. Last month they freaked out over a beer can. A wedding ring advertisement with two men would cause these people to go crazy and is overdue. ???? Pride 2023 ???? -
A tourist lady dragged me to "Asiatique" once. I ate what was the most expensive and simultaneously blandest Thai food I have ever here. It has been explained by some that we foreigners just want big portions with extra meat and don't complain about price. There is some real good food in Southern California but same for some Thai restaurants in US. "Can I get extra chicken? " They don't have to try too hard so they don't bother.
