  1. Strange, that there are still those who want to claim that Trump is a Conservative. He actively caters to that group but shares none of their core values. For him, it is all about power and revenge.
  2. Anti-foreigner paranoia is at fever pitch in Thailand. They cannot resist the urge to destroy their own economy. It's a truly pathetic mindset.
  3. "’Why do decent Americans support Trump"? Has it ever occurred to you that they may not BE "decent Americans"? Only the very worst elements in the voting population will support this man.
  4. First-world problems. LMAO
  5. They will invade anyway, sooner or later. Might as well get the crisis over with. China will not give up its claim on Taiwan. Electing Trump for a second term will have no bearing on this situation.
  6. I had my agent handle the transfers for a very modest fee. My agent is also my landlady, so things go fairly smoothly.
  7. While you supposedly get 7 days, my last online report ran me TWO days late because they rejected it and said I needed to come in person. When I got there, they wanted 2000 baht for "late reporting". Do the clueless women at the desk not know about the seven day grace period? Obviously not. No one said anything about "receipts". I am completely lost.
  8. Perhaps a "one of a kind" talking point. Can't say I remember ANY candidate suggesting that we elect him because he's nuts.
  9. I agree with Susan Rice as well. An inept government is the greatest threat to the USA. A government that does not work is bound to fail. Trump is mentally ill and proves it every time he opens his mouth. He's dangerous for many reasons, but his disregard for facts and sound advice are qualities that bring down governments.
  10. A vote for Trump is asking for another four years of inept government. Just say "NO" on election day.
  11. What a sick human being. Disgusting.
  12. That is what I plan to do. The only problem is that a recent video from a Thai legal firm has indicated that unless one has a tax ID, they could be subject to criminal prosecution. Obviously, most of us would like to avoid that scenario.
  13. While Trump will definitely go after his perceived enemies, he will not be successful. Most branches of law enforcement understand that he is mentally ill and will not be complicit in making his fantasies reality.
  14. All forms of discrimination are perfectly legal in Thailand. Discrimination against foreigners is practically written into the constitution. Why would anyone think otherwise?
  15. What a sad outlook on aging and your fellow expats. Many of us know exactly what we are doing, and if past a certain age, do not have any problem keeping the "thing" within trousers. I am being treated well. Once that changes, then changes will be made.
  16. In my case. Andropause is salvation. I am nearly 75 and my live-in girlfriend is 46. The lure of sex has little sway over me at my age. I do appreciate the companionship and realize that she is with me only because I can support her but she doesn't ask for much. I can tolerate this "end of life" scenario as long as things do not get complicated. I am prepared to be alone if necessary.
  17. Bus owners should face charges over illegal gas canisters.
  18. This is an ungodly miscarriage of justice. The bus owner should be charged.
  19. The only problem now is how to pin this crime on foreigners. We all know that Thai people would NEVER do this. 🤣
  20. SURE they can......unless the disinterested girls at the Immigration desk say otherwise. Policy be damned when you are dealing with Immigration, at least the desk at Jomtien.
  21. The rather ditzy women at Immigration do not seem to know anything about a "grace period". They demanded an extra 2000 baht when the online submission ran me two days late because it was rejected, Later, I learn that they are having "problems" with the online submissions. There seems to be almost no way to win. That said, my agent's son told me he could do the 90 day reports for me. He can speak to them in Thai and get results. If I understood him correctly, he will do this for no charge. He and his Mom already handle my Extensions of Stay. The Mom is my landlady. Apparently SOME good news. I'm tired of being ripped off by Immigration.
  22. They will do as little as they possibly can and laugh at your distress. I am convinced they do not see the connection between their having a job and serving the expats who come to Immigration.
  23. Immigration won't fix a damn thing. I went to Jomtien because my online 90 Day was rejected. That ran me two days late and the airheaded girls at the desk insisted that I owed 2000 baht for late filing. No mention of the grace period. Thieves and grifters.
  24. So now he dies in prison. Thailand: home of the death sentence for petty crime.
