Most people don't have a true legal understanding of that law and how it is interpreted by a jury. Nor do most educate themself on where it applies. The yanks don't have strong enough laws to deal with the individuals this mismanage their firearms and the few weak laws they have are not always enforced. Guns, knives, weapons, vehicles don't kill people. People kill people. Start eradicating the people that misuse inert items to kill someone. Guns, drunk drivers, misc weapons won't go away. They need to start executing individuals that misuse these items to murder other innocent people. Constitutional rights? Presumed innocent until proven guilty? What about the rights of the innocents that were victims? The rights of the innocent victims families? 20-30 years if convicted vs total death for an innocent person. Where is the justice there? Rights groups hover over a convicted killers legal rights, but they don't recognize the life the convicted killer took. You'll see them at an execution site waving banners about the convicted killers rights. But you don't see them at the funerals of the victims. Until these ludicrous lawmakers start to balance the penalties with misuse against the right to own firearms, the issue will only continue to fester. Owning a firearm must be balanced with the penalty of misuse. Sound utterly gruesome? How do you explain or view innocent children being gunned down in their school? We see photos and news articles about the murder scene and victims lives, but seldom see the execution or hear of the convicted.

There are a myriad of vans and private taxis brow beating travelers the post-arrival area when crossing into Thailand. Also down by the vehicle parking lot there are numerous private cars that may take you for a few. The vans are usually the lowest price. Some will take you to the Udon airport and some MAY drop you off in town. Another option is to hook up with some other travelers and three can get a taxi reasonably close to the van fare. Then you have more of an option where to go. Late one evening years ago, I hired a private car to take me from VTE airport direct to Udon airport. He got me through immigration at the border with the proper stamp in Passport. I believe I paid him 3000 thb.

As our lustrous PM replied, "You just don't understand "Thaism".

Not my "go to entertainment guy". However, he is making 5mil THB monthly and Im not. He drives a hot car with a hot chick and I don't. His soon to be "pa inlaw" has got big kahonnas and big baht, I don't. Sooo, Im not going burst his bubble.

The yanks did a movie with Comedian Bill Murray,, "Groundhog Day". same same every songkran.

There are several copper to Aluminum connectors, splices and clamps that are designed specifically for this type of connection. Just wrapping the wires together will complete the circuit, however it will also cause a breakdown of connectivity eventually and could possibly lead to other detrimental issues.

Was told by a few Yank associates that their taxation department, IRS, shares a bit of the cash with the informant when the IRS is informed of a major tax fraud. Maybe Thai's anti-corruption team could try this scheme. Imagine a poor groundskeeper or housemaid comes across a pile of baht notes at a residence. One day they ride an old rickety bicycle, the next day a MB. The rats would be eating their own.

Agreed. If they were paid a livable wage with good bennies, then the corruption would decrease. It would never completely stop, but fewer bobbies would be on the take.

Don't marry in Thailand...to much BS and the usually inevitable divorce takes forever. I took my Thai Sweetie to Vegas and got married. Piece of cake, less than $500 of their USD and only took an hour. But the best part....no sinsod. Told that didn't apply to USA marriages. The inevitable divorce though cost me about $3600 of their USD. I structured my funds as pre marry retirement funds so she couldn't touch them and the judge didn't give her a pence. So married one year of bliss, two years of hell and a divorce for less than the airfare. The best advice, the taxi driver suggested I talk to a divorce attorney before the wedding. Best advice I have ever got. Should be required for all marriages that you consult with the Preacher and an attorney.

Americans? North, Latin or South Americans, there are about 37 Countries in the Americas. Many languages and tonal dialects. Including the accents of Brits, Aussies, Kiwis and Euro people who have immigrated there.

NEVER EVER let a preacher or politician form your personal values. You are just a hoar to them. Align your beliefs and morality with common sense and not an external source attempting to capitalize on your worth.

There are Buses built in US America. However, they are not widebody aircraft. There are, or were Boeing’s being built in China. Either Company sources parts from many entities and assembles them in various locations due to monetary and political reasons. it is all about the “ brown or white” envelope. I recently attempted to source two small Amphib aircraft for a startup carrier in SE Asia and lost the brokerage to my ignorance in accepting the paramount importance of the envelope funds. Apparently, it’s more important than the item being brokered.

Agreed the events that took place in the Pacific during pre WWII are slowly evolving in present day. Only a different player. The current World affairs are just a mask for him. The western Countries are far to occupied with Eastern Europe and MENA. Previous industrial nations are at an all time low and ill prepared to ramp up production in order to counter an offensive. As well, many of the Western nations have “farmed out” much of their industrial capacity. The Western World is to occupied with our personal needs to accept our lives will change dramatically for he worse in the next Ten to Twenty years. I seriously question whether the younger gens are able to fathom this, or even be able to muster a successful defense. I’ll be pushing up daisy's by then, but it still infuriates me that the younger gens is willing to <deleted> away everything our previous gens fought and died for. They want a “ WOKE” culture and they sure as hell will get one, but not the kind they want.

So Sad USD/Euro/THB comes into play here. Was there any real financial damage? American...which Country, there are about 37 Countries in the Americas. One does not get to apply their home laws in a Foreign land. He made an error in judgement, the Thai Bouncer over reacted...common issue in LOFS. Thai Lawyer is the only one to come-ahead here.

SEX is only bad when the Preachers can't profit from it.

I fail to see the issue when a female gender of the species decides to profit from a male gender of the species who has a biological urge to procreate. Furthermore, I would allude to the male being taken advantage of by the female. The female is well aware of the driven biological urge many males are experience nearing puberty and well into their later years. The female entices the male into paying for her services, thus profiteering for a fee. What is the difference when I when and dine a lady, lavish her with gifts or cash, then enjoy an intimate evening or outing. The same elements exist as she plays out the game with the same results and expectations. When politicians and preachers can apply a Tarif on the females profiteering through enticement, the black cloud over a ladies services may slowly fade away.

Suffered a bit of price gouging around the corner from Soi Cowboy last spring, 2022. Across the street from "the Club". A place that sell cigars, brews and burgers. Had a cider and burger. Didn't look at he menu. Bill came in at 1200 thb and the staff was laughing. Never had issues like this except in Suk Town.

You are living a wet dream buckwheat. Religion is a set of organized beliefs, practices, and systems that relate to the belief and worship of a controlling force, such as a personal god or another supernatural being. Religion often involves cultural beliefs, worldviews, texts, prophecies, revelations, and morals that have spiritual meaning to members of the particular ...

Whose God? Whose is right and whose wrong? Preachers and Politicians have been ruling the World since the being of time. It's all about power and money. There are as many "spiritual beliefs" as there are political promises and they all threaten you with some form of punishment if you don't sign on.

Not sure if it is the closest, but I go to Lat Phrao Central and park in the Garage. Usually about 150 bht Then BTS or MRT to Chat Market

No SinSod or inlaws begging off you. Wonder if she would qualify for extension based on Marriage. If so, I all for it.

I only know him as Dr Bird. He teaches at RAMK Uni I believe. His shop is Dr Vision across from Bang Kapi mall. I have his line ID and that's how I contact him. When I walk into his shop, the staff know who I am. They are very punctual. You can also Google his shop, Dr Vision. RGP lens. Regular and CRT (Ortho-K). He has both. I have been doing the Ortho-K thing for more than 40 years. Dr Bird has been doing my Ortho-K work for 11 years. Im sure there are many Eye Doc's in Thailand that can supply you with RGP lens. I just responded with the Doc I use.

Western Woman vs Asian Woman... They both are playing games....just depends on whose rules you want to compete with. Given I married one of each, I like the Asian rules better. One hoses you to get your Euro, the other hoses you for your Euro. But...the best and most dependable were the Addis Abba girls. However, end of equation was still Euro.

I used ATT for many years, $30 month...basic message phone. Switched to VYKE and have been able to get sms phone security codes from most financial institutions. about $50 year and can have multiple numbers

I have bought my CRT hard gas permeable lens from Dr Vision, Bang Kapi. Have done this for many years. As well, have them sent post to Europe and USA. He speaks great English and is great to deal with.
