  1. The prohibition of poison or poisoned weapons is a long-standing rule of customary international law already recognized in the Lieber Code and the Hague Regulations.[1] “Employing poison or poisoned weapons” constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts under the Statute of the International Criminal Court. .. The prohibition of the use of poison or poisoned weapons is understood as outlawing such practices as the smearing of bullets with poison or poisoning the food and drink of the adverse party. In their explanation of the application of this rule, several military manuals specify that the prohibition of poison extends to poisoning wells and other water supplies. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule72
  2. That's not a spending cap on the tourist. Tourists can spend max 50K total per month. Wowza! That's just over 1,600 baht per day. That'll get you a meh hotel and some street food for a "big-spending" tourist. Merchants that jump through hoops apparently will be allowed to accept up to 500K total per month from all sources.
  3. Thank you. I am now become a "journalist." But follow the links in the article. Four U.S. citizens were arrested during the raids for allegedly “assaulting or resisting officers,” according to DHS They [the family] said Retes was trying to drive away during the clashes between protesters and agents when an officer stopped him, broke his car window and shot pepper spray before dragging him out of his car and arresting him. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-raids-marijuana-farm-southern-california-arrests-ead862824a6e994fdfd5297aa1cd6c79 Why would the security guard be leaving at just that very moment? Why would the security guard refuse lawful orders? And why is our intrepid "journalist" trying to imply that the hero was arrested as an illegal when the charges will be resisting arrest and possibly assault on LEO?

  4. This will eventually wind up similar to Preah Vihear.
  5. We only get one side of the story. That's the way narrative-supporting MSM hit pieces work. You get a clickybaity headline followed by unsupported claims in the article, or factoids hidden at the bottom that contradict the headline. He likely had insufficient identification on him, if any, refused to identify himself and resisted arrest. What are the odds during the encounter he screamed "I know my rights!"
  6. Problem now resolved. Transfer cancelled, money refunded into my balance yesterday. Then sent $50K to my Bangkok Bank account, which I will then transfer to the wife's Kbank account.
  7. TRAMADIL CAPSULE 50mg (other brands available) Available at many pharmacies, most sold in blister packs of 10. Bought half a dozen strips last month.
  8. Did the maffs. Wise will make up thousands morebaht on the exchange rate than the fees, if forex done at same time. SWIFT could be better if exchange rate moves in my favor over the 1-2 days I have to wait for it to reach the bank. Or could be worse depending on tomorrow's tariff tantrum. No need for FTT coding in this case. That would only slow the transfer. But now we know there are live humans working at Wise and available to assist. Wise website offered help with transaction by email, chat, or phone. Logged onto chat, had a live agent within a few minutes. When selecting to have them call my registered phone number, they called within 30 seconds.
  9. Too many roadside stalls along this section of highway with no parking areas for drivers that wanna stop to buy snacks or plants or fruit baskets or handmade brooms. Most just stop in the emergency lane, then pull out into the traffic doing 90km, often without looking. Truck driver likely facebooking and drifted to the left, swerving back at the last second but overcompensated.
  10. Grab by *****, free if you star. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
  11. Transaction to Kbank was delayed due to "technical issue." We cancelled, money refunded into balance next day. Set up new transaction to Bkk Bank. I'll have to use Bkk Bank online/app to transfer to Kbank.
  12. Wise has been fine (for me) up until now. I set up the link to Kbank last week, sent $100 to confirm, arrived in 6 seconds. I'm chatting with the Wise agent online now, having trouble getting a straight answer out of the call center lady. Appears (maybe?) only Kbank is affected, other transfers are (perhaps?) going through. We'll see.............
  13. Wise has been fine (for me) up until now. I set up the link to Kbank last week, sent $100 to confirm, arrived in 6 seconds. Now sending $15k, and there's a technical issue.............
  14. Any problems transferring Wise to Thailand? Sent $15K a couple days ago, delayed, there is allegedly a technical issue with the "partner bank." Agent can't or won't confirm if this is with recipient (Kasikorn) or some intermediary. (Read somewhere Wise uses a firm named "Alantis" or similar to handle distribution to Thai banks.) Was told by one agent that it could take up to ten days to resolve the technical issue. Cancelled the transaction, and now being told by a different agent that the funds cannot be cancelled and released back to my account until the "technical issue" is resolved. Anyone successfully sending larger amounts to Thailand, and if so, which banks are receiving?
  15. After sleeping through so many classes and not learning to code, he may be able if he sells....
