No.

Drill a hole and insert a straw !

My experience in this situation is that an extension will/can be granted up until the date of expiry of current passport. That was a change from when an annual extension was granted as per norm and it required a transfer to new passport. That now does not happen. The renewal of extension to be stamped into new passport is done as per any annual extension and at same cost regardless of if previous extension was granted for maybe 2 months before passport expiry date.

IMO the calls against Iran were more of grave concern that an uncontrolled escalation was imminent than any recovered sympathy for Israel. When it comes to emotional opinion again IMO it is not the country or the people that attract revulsion. It is the governing authoritarians in each embedded in using religious divisionism .

A compensatory advantage of having a house that is small and relatively rudimentary is that in the event of what could/would be a disaster for more opulent dwellings is that repairs organized by the Village Headman were complete by mid morning today. Less fortunate was a person struck by lightening who died in same storm sheltering under a tin roofed canopy on his rice farm. Life events unfold randomly for many.

Why are the current updated vaccines still only FDA approved and authorized as for emergency use ? Are recipients still being used in a global test laboratory ? The mRna vaccine research started with Ebola but to this day has never been adopted for use for that very lethal disease. I am content with the fact I received an alternative vaccine to mRna .

Good downpour yesterday but came with the nasty wind gusts. Nearby a mini tornado took off the roof of an elderly widows house.

Journalistic efficiency ? Improving already. Heads-up item....obscure "related" item involving descent from a height.....in other news.....! "Not only but also" coming next week ?

Given the ever increasing proliferation of space junk and with it the associated risk of deaths and damage " for communities on earth" how long before commercial "Waste-care in Space " ventures start sling-shoting items at the sun as suggested above ? Remnants often fall unpredictably.

An interesting topic with the various opinions and perspectives. Probably it is the aspect of maintaining quality of life physiologically and neurologically that would be most important to the already elderly ( self included ). Longevity without functionality I observe as a form of torture ! A comprehensive coverage of recent research is found here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10574552/

Where has tran Sam gone?. Usually has some sort of answer !

What new ? Are we in it already ? I hate being old and slow !

Woke Thaiger Home ?

Tickle a Tiger .?

Can Phuket's reservoirs keep the promise? Rain may come another day.

Do you know cows can not fart? But donkeys can .

As a little research shows it has been and always was . A vague connection to an unidentifiable Hongkong entity at some point in time. Ah well, all is fair in luv and wah .

Some may be ardent recyclers ?

I have not been here long . If the mentality as of above is to be encouraged then I will be gone .

So what happens ? Do we automatically get gravitated to a new platform, be required to re-enlist , or just carry on being numb?

I also do have t express surprise that New Zealand has such status in the realm of aviation industry. Kiwi are very far away from most places and are famous as flightless birds. Then again an NZ farmer beat the Wright bothers in achieving powered flight even though his machine had no controls. It crashed but satisfied the ambitions of the farmer !

It does seem to provide a sad example of things to come if and when the announced "media merger" eventuates in some alternative platform. To the point of serious contemplation as to the veracity of information.....on all considerations. I have been shown examples of extraordinary false bs that is now routine content on FB . Is this the beginning of the end ?

In Thailand the term "High blood" is often used to refer to blood sugar levels. And for most people over 50 seem to almost brag that they have "high blood". The correlation with sucrose intake probably is correct. Sadly I know several westerners who seem to believe their daily intake of zero coke compensates for exactly the same diagnosed problem with insulin variables ! Type 2 diabetes is a positive cash cow to big pharma and nobody questions the pandemic. It is beyond epidemic !

Back before covid and a couple of other events screwed up the situation there was a border crossing into Cambodia where Sidegra was available at 50 bht a pack of 4 tabs. Yes it was real . Origin an Indian Pharmaceutical Company. Also a variety of other medicinal compounds most of which legend has it were bogus and/or dangerous.

Was good eh ?
