If Trump is the nominee, that should give Biden a guaranteed win. I fear the presence of DeSantis in the mix. He is arguably worse than Trump because he is smarter.
-
Exactly. Such statements are no more “free speech” than threatening to kill a sitting President. No less than TWO law enforcement officers were suspended in the southern United States for that exact threat once Joe Biden was elected. “Free speech” is like anything else in law, it has its limits.
-
A statement which makes no sense. Food was not being discussed. Loss of life was the result of the Civil War. Those advocating it in “defense” of Donald Trump, ought to be in prison.
-
ANYONE advocating violence on behalf of Trump, should be charged with insurrection.
-
I was referring to the DAMAGE done. They ended slavery but the cost in human life was astronomical.
-
The last Civil War did not end well. Something to remember.

Just a gesture of respect. We have a special relationship with the UK and many of us try to show as much respect as we can. I’d love to see the British Royal Family patch up their disagreements and get along.

The Prince seems unable to handle the heat as well as his father always did. However, I’m American, so I should stay out of the conversation.

If I have the kind of income specified for this “visa”, the country involved had better be prepared to kneel and shine my shoes with their tongue. Thailand seems not to understand that when THAT kind of investment is made……..we OWN you.

Vientiene was VERY convenient and fast. I got my “O visa” with minimal hassle. Even got extra help from the Laotian driver who had done hundreds of these kinds of applications. I wish I had gotten his name. He was extremely efficient.

No “consequences” for the moneyed elite. Welcome back, Thaksin. Hope to see you as PM again someday.

I had a similar problem at Jomtien Immigration. I came in on a tourist visa and had about two weeks left on it when I applied. The woman who is in charge of. the procedure threw a fit and told me two weeks was “not enough time”. I had to go to Laos and get my “O Visa” there. Totally unnecessary because they can’t even pick their noses in a two week period. Unbelievable incompetence.

As a 73 year-old man living with a 46 year-old Thai woman. I can ASSURE you, that I would not find the same deal if I did not have a nice retirement income. The norms in Thailand would be exactly like those in the United States if Thai people made the same income as US citizens.

Still beautiful, even with the red rashes. Might even be a selling point for some of us.
-
No normal man wants an old woman. I would rather be alone.
-
Business-people need to stand together. Business interests can topple governments. This thread has been a rich source of new use for the “ignore” button.
-
I totally agree. Udon Thani is a great part of Thailand. I also discovered it during a visa trip to Vientiane, Laos.

Where would you retire -- if money wasn't an issue?
Felton Jarvis replied to gargamon's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I would divide my time between Sweden, Norway, Germany , Netherlands, Denmark,Switzerland and various European welfare states. The most civilized nations on earth. -
That Hippie documentary was hilarious. Harry Reasoner was the perfect “non-hip” buffoon to narrate it. The whole Hippie thing was never a temptation to me. I liked a more cushy lifestyle. LSD cannot be compared to cannabis in any frame of reference. My parents thought pot was the same thing as Heroin or morphine. I did too, because I didn’t know any better.

“Hard drug addicts”???? Do you know anything about the plant you are posting about??? Apparently not.
-
NOT “over-hyped” other fora won’t even allow it to be discussed. The legalization of cannabis is a major topic for Thailand because of the revenue-enhancement potential.

Moot point since I never made 80 thousand dollars a year even while I was working. My top salary before retirement was a pathetic 40 thousand USD a year. In retirement my income is 34 thousand USD or around 98 thousand baht a month. I don’t qualify for any kind of long-term visa. Thailand is slowly forcing me to move to Cambodia, where the terms are easy.
-
I think their names are pretty doggone unique. I know a woman named “Pisella Pis”. She asks people to call her “Pissy”. I don’t think anyone has given her details of what her name means in English. ????
-
I can find no LTR visa available for fifty thousand baht total. I have checked the LTR page and I see nothing in this price category. At 34 thousand US dollars, I hardly qualify as a “Wealthy Pensioner”. Not sure where you are getting your figures from.

Cambodia looks good. Easy Visa terms. No bank deposit.
