  1. They dump the daughter midway through so the message was received loud and clear
  2. It doesn't have to be a civil case. The line between civil and criminal cases is exceedingly thin in Thailand. And though it makes no logical sense to sue, I have heard stories of vindictive landlords who have done just that.
  3. It won't affect his status with immigration but if the landlord sues, he can be prevented from leaving the country until the court case is settled.
  4. The only effect of the previous "reforms" was a steep decline in the number of retirement visa holders and a surge in the number of agents. If I remember correctly,, Thailand is only issuing about 40,000 retirement extensions a year. Double the fiscal requirement without any corresponding incentives and most of the remaining foreigners will abandon ship. All that will be left are the elite visa holders and the Chinese.
  5. Other than the fact that several crashed alien craft have been recovered along with their nonhuman pilots in some cases and a coverup has been in place for at least 100 years, no the government isn't hiding anything.
  6. Tammanat declared 1 billion in assets but, hey, nothing suspicious there.
  7. You'd need the 800,000 though and dealing with immigration is always an uncertain process.
  8. Nope, I tried everything. I even set up a new gmail account and asked my sister to use it to register in the U.S. They don't send the verification code by email anymore; now they use the YouTube notification center apparently to make sure it's your account. I had another friend in the U.S. try and he told me he couldn't do it either. If there is anyway to do it I certainly would like to know.
  9. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Jesuit priest, theologian, philosopher, and notable palentologist. A brilliant man, a Darwinian, and a deeply spiritual man.
  10. They've cracked down and you can no longer sign up from overseas. Believe, I've tried.
  11. Good taste? He just buys all the top luxury brands. It's not like he's discriminating.
  12. They didn't find anything wrong with Prayut's inflated land sales, which occurred right after he threw the coup.
  13. Much harder than a retirement extension and it eliminates the option in the future of using an agent. Thai Visa will do the extension via EMS and you can use any bank.
  14. He's had plastic surgery and two heart surgeries, I believe
  15. Biolabs doesn't necessarily mean bioweapons labs. The Wuhan research laboratory was a biolab, researching cornavirus pathogens. Was it being used by the Chinese military? I don't know but there have been reports to that effect. Of course, all those official bodies initially denied that this research was taking place as well despite all the evidence to the contrary. The point is that the U.S. has been funding things like gain of function research in foreign facilities that it would be illegal to pursue in the United States. Are they also conducting bioweapon research? I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me. I wouldn't expect anyone to admit it though. Would you? Having said all that, RFK Jr. does have a lot of nutty ideas.
  16. That's actually true -- or rather it's been reported as true (who know what's true anymore). https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/after-months-of-denial-u-s-admits-to-running-ukraine-biolabs/
  17. The vast majority of Kindle books (almost 70 percent as I recall) are written by women. However, niche porn markets are supposedly a way to make money -- Bigfoot porn, Alien porn, Gangbang porn, and most of it is written by women.
  18. I published a book of fiction a couple of years ago. I didn't promote it in any way, so I was surprised when a little money dribbled into my bank account. If you want sales though, you need to market it -- blogs, youtube videos, Instagram, and learn how to game the google search results. Otherwise nobody will ever hear of it. There are over a million and a half self-published ebooks released on Amazon every year.
  19. According to the New York Times, the Super Cheeseburger has already been dropped. Customers hated it. Oftentimes, all of the cheese wasn't even melted.
  20. The US Embassy is right. The passport application website refers to applications in the U.S. The process for applications from Thailand is expedited. When I applied for a new passport, the website said 10-13 weeks. I received mine in 5. Still, remember you won't have a passport for those 5 weeks.
  21. Cashless society and harvesting and selling customer data. Phones are a wealth of consumer information, especially if you don't read the terms of agreement and allow them access to all your information. They can then sell (what they call "share") that data to 3rd parties providing a constant stream of revenue.
  22. Well, the lactose intolerance of Asians is well documented. Of course, many can consume it in small quantities without issue, a tablespoon or two in a cup of coffee for instance. When I used to make dishes heavy in white sauces, cheese products, or butter for instance, my girlfriend always had digestion issues, which, however, she didn't associate with the dairy products because she didn't know she was lactose intolerant. The problem was solved by switching to coconut milk and cheeses low in lactose. You notice there's more awareness of the problem these days and some stores are selling lactose free milk. But the importation of a Western diet has caused Thais all kinds of problems. Unfortunately, processed American cheese tends to have one of the highest lactose levels. I doubt that many Thais will be buying the all cheese burger anyway.
  23. Just perfect for a country where 90 percent of the citizens are lactose intolerant
