I tried vpn, that's how I had my account suspended. If I get somebody back in the States to sign up for me, I have to give them my google account password? How does it work exactly,

I worry that brokerages in particular will start demanding two-step verification with a phone number. If you're living outside your home country, it might be impossible to comply if your brokerage (or bank) doesn't allow or limits foreign accounts. Although Google Voice will give you a U.S. number, you have to be in the U.S. to sign up for it. I tried signing up from Thailand and got banned from the service!

What's funny is that absolutely no one takes him serioiusly. I doubt he even takes himself seriously.

Google did turn on two-step verification automatically at one point and although I turned it off, I get constant reminders for security checks that urge me to turn it back on. I would prefer not to have my account tied to my phone so if an OTP is necessary I would rather have it sent via email but not everybody gives you that choice. On the other hand, I haven't been able to set up an instagram account. I've tried 3 email addresses and in each case got a message that it was already in use. Also, Instagram demands that you sign up using a phone number, which facebook then sells to advertisers. So I've given up on using it.

I had a friend who was having vision problems and went to a famous private hospital in Bangkok (which I won't name but began with the letter B). They told him he needed immediate cataract surgery and pressed him to make an appointment for that afternoon. Naturally, he was reluctant and instead went to the Eye Hospital for a second opinion. They told him he just had dry eyes and prescribed eye drops, which fixed the problem.

Anybody try the green crack from Dr. Green dispensary on Asoke? 60 baht/gm

Yeah, right, in the United States they just would have shot her a hundred times. One of the admirable traits of the Thai police is the restaint they show when confronted by an armed person.

I thought providing "tangible support" could get your party dissolved and the giver suspended from politics for 10 years.

He's just a pathetic idiot who runs a coffee shop and is constantly trying to draw attention to himself. He used to file complaints against the government but gave that up when they threatened him so he clearly doesn't have any real ethics. The mystery is why the media gives him so much free publicity.

You misunderstood the post. He's not talking about an embassy service. He's talking about a private company service (Key Visa) that will handle the passport renewal for Americans. The American Embassy implemented during Covid a new requirement that all passport renewals be done by mail. I can see why many elderly Americans would not want to deal with that hassle themselves.
