Perhaps he has a mental problem, he should have an operation to have the <deleted>e removed. Then a good brain washing and a nice big fat check to the doctor whom he kicked.

Up here in Isaan, my wife has 300 plants, she is registered with the local buyers, You have to be registered to sell your product. If you are not registered you are turned away. As the post says people know who the perps are and I don't think this ill be a major hit.

I have visited Mae Tao clinic, as a member of Chiang Mai International Rotary Group, simply amazing work. They have a building dedicated to prosthetics and a maternity ward where thousand upon thousands of children have been born. I ain't religious, but if I ever thought I would meet a saint, she would be the one. I can't imagine how many people would have suffered without her selfless grace.

They are under pressure from the many trucks using diesel in commodity transport, there was a threat of a work stoppage 2 years ago when the price went above  30 baht. Also the farmers pickups are all diesel.

The human race will be extinct, and the autopsy will list greed and ignorance as the cause of death.

May you have an interesting life young man

When applying online to renew my visa, I mark my calendar for between 3 weeks and 1 week before the notification date stated on my last receipt. If you try to do it before or after the window you cannot access the online form.  the website I access is https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login if you have never used the online system you may have to set it up which may be done using the parent url.

If it were only thailand that is creating the problem then there are solutions, you can tell where the burnt fields are and fine them, either through satellite images or aerial reconnaissance. Unfortunately it is not only a thailand problem. the haze is coming form Cambodia, Burma, Laos and China, it has to be an asean thing and few politicians want to lose potential votes.

With that many parties vying for positions, I would love to be a fly on the wall. I hope that there is a good system for sorting it all out.

what is the best visa to get if coming from the usa to thailand to apply for a retirement visa, Is a tourist visa enough?

Have they thought about trickle down economy, worked wonders in the usa, that yellow stream just keeps pouring down.

With the tech they have now and satellite imaging they could fine the owners of the land and raise the fine until the burning stops, but the mushroom hunters are another story, they burn down the forest. Making the sale of those mushrooms illegal and posting a reward for the picker ..... unfortunately it is not just a local thing it is all across the region, smoke travels across borders. I was in a plane coming from chiang Mai to Udon Thani and the smoke rose to the thousands of feet the airplane was flying at.

Banks don't do anything for free. If they don't charge you a fee, they make their money on the exchange rate. The banks always give you a lower exchange rate than most money changers, and probably lower than the MC or VISA rate.

The exchange rate is better than the atm rate

It seems the most we know is fed to us by the media, if you don't get sound bites you are lost in obscurity. But it should be a wide field if Biden decides not to run. Are shall be revealed. 

and the hits keep coming!!! When they have the eulogy for the human race it will be killed by greed.

Putin, winning the hearts and minds of Ukraine.......Not!!! 

Yes, We retired expats are indeed a dying breed, Part of Mother Natures recycling program. We all had pensions, but things have changed since our time, Many don't have enough to raise kids and have a 401K program.

The way the world is going it is hard to foresee what is around the corner. Things are dismal for the ordinary Thai. Shuttered businesses. Empty hotels. A weaker baht will bring tourism back a bit but those who come will see that It is not the Thailand they remember. It will be years until there is a semblance of a new normal. Inflation is pummeling the poor. Buckle up it is going to be a rocky ride.
