I suspect you're mostly/completely wrong. There are plenty of westerners that are either anti-war, forever wars, weary of the fake narratives, lack of facts, the seemingly lack of the West taking any responsibility, and are simply not going along. That does not make them Russians or pro-Putin, Putin apologists, pro-dictator, fascists or whatever smears get tossed around. This war has been brewing for decades but the western news mostly wants you to believe Putin woke up one day and decided to invade Ukraine. It's much more complicated than those "talking points". This is why we are here.

Saw some non-footy Ukraine T-Shirts at a street vendor near Nana that may do in a pinch

Bangkok Bank USD transfers, closing rate on Fri 36.59, opening rate on Mon 36.52 strengthening over the weekend. Closing at 36.68 on Mon. Not what I'd exactly characterize as a significant dip/decline

@Liverpool Louis simply making a distinction between a skeleton and a fossil. Words do have meanings for a reason. Some may think it's unnecessary except in the Archaeology forum - me I'm not bothered, carry on.

There appears to be an way to submit a dispute for duplicate charges on the Grab internet website. https://help.grab.com/passenger/en-th/115005685907-I-have-duplicate-charges Good luck 🙏

Sorry to break it to you @Jingthingbut @frank83628is correct. Confirmed by one of the Ukrainian negotiators. https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/official-johnson-forced-kyiv-to-refuse-russian-peace-deal/

It's ChatGPT that is the "real nincompoop"

The lab coats do it for the proverbial "it needs further research, grant money"

Quite disturbing that AI prioritizes political correctness over preventing a nuclear apocalypse Here is the link, https://chatgpt.com/share/e5049752-e5e1-4397-88fd-ac729b2c358a And yes I tried it myself. Is ChatGPT biased beyond repair? Your thoughts?

It all so mystifying and "far-right". Not surprisingly the article fails to mention much of anything economic. They certainly didn't go near terms like inflation, recession, stagnation, interest rates, employment or de-industrialization. In addition there is also no mention of the either the Gaza or Ukraine conflicts. Discontent is rising among voters as billions are siphoned from government coffers and western military's empty their stockpiles to aid Ukraine with no end in sight. Many things they don't want to talk about

I Agree the Bank could assist their client in some fashion and it would be great PR with little cost. Not all of the machines are "exactly" the same either, further complicating matters. Rather then sending the customer to the police, they could take the lead. They could even consider returning the mans deposit and put pressure on the police to recover the funds. We know how, to put it kindly, these types of crimes can slip through the cracks. Hope the customer gets his money back.

OP had a mishap, now urgently requires a romantic partner

"who's taking the piss now" ?

It's a well known problem. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9746503/ Abstract Refugees, immigrants, and migrants (RIM) in the United States (US) have been identified as an underimmunized population prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccine acceptance is critical to combat the public health threat incited by COVID-19 and other vaccine-preventable disease. To better understand escalating vaccine hesitancy among US RIM, a comprehensive evaluation of the problem and solutions is necessary. In this systematic review, we included 57 studies to describe vaccination rates, barriers, and interventions addressing vaccine hesitancy over the past decade. Meta-analysis was performed among 22 studies, concluding that RIM represent an underimmunized population compared to the general US population. Narrative synthesis and qualitative methods were used to identify critical barriers, including gaps in knowledge, poor access to medical care, and heightened distrust of the medical system. Our results demonstrate the need for effective, evidence-based interventions to increase vaccination rates among diverse RIM populations.

At CW you can renew an extension of stay up to 45 days in advance. And, yes, it will be extended for one year from the current expiration date.

1) As long as you have a NON-O that remains valid, you will receive 90 days by air or land. 2) No current experience, but several years ago I attended Immigration for a Residence letter for drivers license too. At the time it was totally backlogged, they told me to come back in 3 weeks. So, I visited my Embassy (US) and obtained a letter there that was accepted to renew my license. I suspect another poster will have more recent experience. Good Luck ....

Completely useless article. Could, might, experts, concerns, policy, stance, uncertain, consequences - and at the same time reports virtually no facts. They didn't provide any quotes, or reach out to the campaign, all speculation and politics. If the CDC and the FDA and all the experts are so "concerned" about public health, then why no mention of millions of illegal/undocumented immigrants that most assuredly originate from countries with less stringent vaccine requirements? Of course crickets.

I have the exact opposite problem

I often wonder what the TAT/Govt is doing? Do they presume that 40 million tourists in a country of only 70 million people, with ever rising expectations of more, more, more, will not eventually result in tourist fatigue? Signs of infrastructure/environmental fatigue and a rise in tourist related "incidents" clearly tells me that the country may well be reaching a breaking point.

Quite the fanciful tale

No, I'm on retirement extensions. My years here tell me that this is good enough, the chances of having this status revoked are slim to none, IMHO. To my way of thinking, people that want to equivocate and say "I'm just a guest here", are just finding reasons to justify going "back home". That not the way I roll.

Nah, don't miss a thing about "back home". Just spent 5 weeks back home, first time in 6 years. Enjoyed time there with family but at the same time I'm glad to be back. The malcontents will always find a reason to return "home" ... not so with me, Thailand is my home now.
