You can get a priority queue ticket on the basis of your age. Just mention it at the counter. It worked very well for me last time.

Unfortunately I know that the son of a hard-core atheist had himself brainwashed, converted and was baptized.

And don't forget the Russians. Putin has never been a happier man.

It is not an insult but an objective observation for which there is ample proof.

But when Trump does it, everyone loses their marbles. 😄 Just like the self-proclaimed economic genius himself.

Ever thought of using a charger that you can plug into an outlet at airport or even airplane? A fully charged phone should outlast even the longest flight, especially since the usage of phones is limited.

I have had it rejected for: - new passport - returning from outside country - wrong date. Correct window is: -15 to -7 days from due date.

I think it belongs to the big hospital but it is a separate building. Just go to the 14th floor and tell them what you want.

I go to Chulalongkorn, it is in the MBK area. 14th floor. Walk-in, prompt service, 700 baht if I remember well and result in 1-2 days through email.

Thailand

If medical industry includes hospitals, then yes. For the dying there is not much money to be made out of pharmaceuticals. There is in all sorts of testing etc.

Actually I was talking about Thailand. Don't know how it is in USA.

I have seen it many times with my own eyes: they won't let you die and won't give too many painkillers. You might get addicted.

Eludes me why you would not wear them in town. No trouble there? Are seat belts such a nuisance?

Quack medicine in this case. The real indications for this kind of treatment are very limited but unfortunately quackers can easily misuse it.

For sports and muscles there is an effect, but there is no proven effect on brain function in spite of a lot of research that you can find on serious websites. Any personal reports are to be seen as N=1, meaning you don't know what would have happened without the product.

Because I think he is talking about expats who come here to live off a pension. For them indeed you get better value for money than in many western countries.

Laughing gas is not listed as a drug as such although it has psychotropic properties. It is used by restaurants as a pressure gas for applying cream, as in bakery. So it is commercially available. In the Netherlands this was the reason to ban the large containers. As a result the streets there are littered with the small metal capsules which you can also buy here on Lazada (219 baht for 10). Khaosan road appears to be a major hub for this gas.

I am involved with a 25 year old young man who had been inhaling laughing gas in a bar on Khaosan road. He has now been in coma on ICU for almost a week. Unclear if there will be residual brain damage after he wakes up. Nothing to laugh about.

The economic and military genius Donald Trumpski is siding with long-lasting shrewd ruthless cunning autocrats with a clear strategy. They will have him for breakfast.

USA. U for Unreliable, Unpredictable, Untrustworthy, Unsympathetic, Unfriendly? Pick your choice. Or maybe all of them: UUUUUSA.

I did it on the due date. On my report it said I had to report on 25th February, which I duly did - rejected. They said it had to be 15 days before.

There is no consistency. I had not done a TM30 for quite a long time, in which I have been in and out of the country a few times. However, last time I had to do a 90 days (in person because of entering again) I was cautioned that I needed to do a TM30 again. My landlord is my wife, we live in the same condo for more than 10 years already. So I went to the website and could not get it done, without understanding why. My wife then called the immigration number and we got on the phone with an English speaking official. He was very patient and took a lot of time to help me. Thing was they renewed the website and the original profile (of my wife) needed to be updated with a few items that had been added but not been filled in (e.g. gender). After that all went well and I could confirm my status as approved. Pfffff........

So we have two criminals, self-declared world leaders, doing business over countries that don't belong to them? I have always seen the US as a reliable ally with checks and balances. In no time it has changed to a traitor. Disappointed hardly covers the feeling. It's disgust over this orange kcuf face with his smug grin, thinking he can "do it all".

Just saying what he said. If anyone has the real answer... please!
