  1. You must know a lot more different minded straight people than myself. As I don't know anyone, I think, straight or otherwise, that is against gay marriage. Same-Sex Marriage Support Inches Up to New High of 71%
  2. My thoughts would be way off topic, reported & deleted. So maybe another day, another thread that would be on topic to discuss.
  3. You have something against members who simply enjoy reading and getting needed info. Some don't want to get involved with conversations with people they don't know. If not thick skinned, completely understandable.
  4. And yet, I got a decent, and expected price for our 2yr old/40k kms 2020 MG, considering market, low customer base and average depreciation rate of 15%-20% per year, the first 2 years. Less depreciation as time goes on. Also during Covid, when many weren't splurging on new toys. A buyers market. Happy with the sale. Of course wouldn't have minded getting a bit more, and if located in BKK and a bit more patient, probably would have gotten 10-15% more. But wanted a quick sale.
  5. On topic, Hunter & the Fed felony firearm charge. We bit of research, very we bit ... but, it seems anything less than a 10 month sentence, will need some explaining to do. So the judge telling them to come up with a Plan B, seems to be appropriate. Also consider, though not sure, Hunter is not a 'felon'. That would make a huge difference. "Penalties for Felon in Possession of a Firearm Under federal law, the crime of Felon in Possession of a Firearm is a Class D felony, punishable by up to ten years in prison, three years of supervised release, and $250,000 in fines. Under the United States Sentencing Guidelines, a person convicted of Felon in Possession of a Firearm would be assigned a base offense level between 12-26, which carries a guideline ... ...range of 10-78 months in prison... before taking into account any mitigating or aggravating circumstances. As of 2016, the average federal sentence imposed for Felon in Possession of a Firearm fell between 46-75 months in prison." Hornsby Law Firm As far as Tax issue goes, nobody goes to jail for not paying taxes, unless circumstance dictate. I owed $70k+ one year, and didn't even file. Jail was never mentioned during 'negotiations' to pay. He owed a wee bit more, but unless doing something extremely scrupulous, jail shouldn't even considered. It's not like he refused to pay it, simply not in a timely manner ???? "According to the tax Information, Hunter Biden received taxable income in excess of $1,500,000 annually in calendar years 2017 and 2018. Despite owing in excess of $100,000 in federal income taxes each year, he did not pay the income tax due for either year. " Not a fan of the Bidens, but it does seem to be a bit of selection prosecution on the tax issue, unless I'm missing something.
  6. Oh contraire, I know their history oh too well, and why I'd never buy one, unless it was made by China.
  7. I think you are forgetting who controls the news and flow of information. Using your thought, the 'people in control of the news', tell people a plane was flown into the Pentagon, with some of the most protected airspace in USA, with more than a few active CCTVs going 24/7, and not one photo or vid of the event. Let that one sink in. Take as much time as you need. Freedom of the Press / information ... that's funny.
  8. Myself & other AN member who are MG owners have. Myself with no problem at all.
  9. Only 8 times. Myself, probably 20-25 times, and 4 or 5 times in the last 3 yrs. On topic ... Patts, and I really can't think of a reason to go there, or anywhere east of Krung Thep along the Gulf.
  10. Flew into Phuket 3 times, and simply rented a car, which turned out cheaper in the long run, for the 24 hrs of use. Along with having it to explore during that time. I refuse to take a taxi that doesn't use the meter.
  11. Hopefully the Thai tourist would vote with their feet if presented a higher price. Would I not support, enter a place in home country (USA) because of foreigner dual pricing ? ... NO, as doesn't concern me.
  12. In case you missed it ... apparently many did, the increases don't apply to Nationa Parks. Getting in NPs @ Thai price is all a bit irrelevant, whether successful or not.
  13. Quality, value, bang for baht, excellent cust. serv. Added plus, if owning an EV, using their Super Charger network. Free instant coffee, (sometimes a coffee machine), water, clean toilets and sugar fill snacks in waiting room, while charging and using free internet. #1 reason, it bugs the hell out of @transam ????
  14. Had to be an EV ... what else could it be ?
  15. It's nice to know my $24.8k USD was spent on a new vehicle that won't leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere. If having a mechanical oops, the 24 hr roadside assistance is available, though I've never needed. Never needed with previous new $22k vehicle. No new car purchased has left me stranded, though I can't say the same about 2nd hand vehicles I've owned. Rare, but did happen.
  16. I read somewhere IT did create Adam in it's image. Maybe Adam was non-binary and never came out. A Super Genius, thinking outside the box. And an Atheist ... ????
  17. Do you enjoy paying a premium price to support USA, UK, EU, JP ? Did you join/create new username, just to reply to this thread, but I'll ask anyway.
  18. Following the western world's lead I see. I can't remember when most news wasn't fake. It has simply gotten worse, since monopoly ownership regulations were eliminated. Nothing but Op-Ed echo boxes. Calling any of it news is a stretch.
  19. I'm stocked up, all of 2 beers (490ml). Took 3 with me on a 10 day O&A, and opened 1, didn't finish it. 2 remaining beers probably won't get opened, unless I make a pizza or something else worthy of pairing with it. Maybe wash down a doobie, ever rarer. I came here for the Tax Free, easy investment opportunities & healthcare. Not the bars & hookers. 'What I need to know' ... not much, except avoid hwy#4 on first & last day of holiday, direction dependent. Whatever your vice ... Stock Up & ENJOY
  20. Simple Gsearch would give you a ballpark idea of the increases: The revised entrance fees for historical sites are as follows: Historical parks for Thai nationals: 20 baht per person, for foreign nationals: 120-200 baht (previously 100 baht). Archeological sites or significant places for Thai nationals: 10-20 baht per person, for foreign nationals: 80-120 baht (previously 50-100 baht). As for admission fees to national museums, the new rates are: Small national museums for Thai nationals: 10 baht per person, for foreign nationals: 80 baht (previously 50 baht). Medium-sized national museums for Thai nationals: 10-20 baht per person, for foreign nationals: 120 baht (previously 50-100 baht). Large national museums for Thai nationals: 20-30 baht per person, for foreign nationals: 200 baht (previously 100-150 baht). For highly visited national museums, such as the National Museum in Bangkok, the following new rates apply to Thai nationals: 30 baht per person and for foreign nationals: 240 baht (previously 200 baht). In addition, four other registered historic sites and national museums that previously charged fees for the rental of foreign language audio guides will now eliminate the fee. These sites are: Historical Park – Sdok Kok Thanom, Khok Sung District, Sakaeo Wat Kudi Dao, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya district, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. Nakhon Nayok National Museum, Mueang Nakhon Nayok District, Nakhon Nayok. Surin National Museum, Mueang Surin District, Surin. The government spokesperson, Tipanan Sirichana stated that “entrance fees for Thai nationals will remain unchanged to promote learning, preserve cultural heritage, and foster a sense of national identity across all generations without increasing the financial burden of tourism on Thai citizens.” Source: KhaoSod
