The truth is that Putin is a genocidal dictator. His clear intention available to you or anyone is to ERASE Ukraine. It's culture, it's identity, it's art, it's education, it's language, it's books, it's religion, and all of it's people who won't accept being merged with Russia (by forcing out or murder). That doesn't need to mean literal occupation. A puppet government would work and may be preferred. Russian then can get more slave soldiers for it's greater imperialist ambitions.

You sound triggered.

I was talking about the proof of life form dude.

Of course not but it's a large sample and we would know by now if anyone in Thailand got the form yet.

LAO JI Open 4:30 to 2:30 Find map in Grab, appears to be near Sukhumwit / Thepprasit area I've got another new Chinese pick for real Chinese food. Not knocking western Chinese food which is experiencing a surge these days, but I usually prefer real regional Chinese. This place specializes in some Sichuan dishes, grilled in foil plates, and especially deliciously spicy grilled meats and vegetables. I've tried numerous times already on Grab orders and have loved most everything although I wasn't thrilled with the stir fried beef dish and the cabbage with meat dish. Not bad but just wouldn't order again. Tried grilled lamb and chicken wing skewers. Delicious. Choose your spice level but don't bother if you don't want spice. For the grilled in foil items, loved both the vermicelli and fish chunk in a red gingery sauce options. But the feature for me so far is the best ma po tofu that I'm aware of currently available in town. Only 200 baht. The boiled dumplings were quite excellent. You can get them fried as well. Which reflects the prices overall -- very reasonable as good Chinese Chinese food is often overpriced here.

I had a chance to try Buenos Mexican a few times on delivery orders. Had the carnitas burrito and then chile con carne. For the burrito I was pleased to be offered a choice of red or green sauce to make it a "wet" burrito for a small extra fee. Definitely rare in Thailand to be offered such a green chile sauce which I tried and did like. My burrito had black beans instead of the more common pintos which is rather a California style thing but unfortunately they were a bit hard. The chile con carne was American style with beans and ground beef rather than Mexican style which would have no beans and use beef chunks instead. Both were tasty, amply spiced, and distinctive from other Mexican places I've tried over the years in Pattaya. They advertise as "authentic" which admittedly is a very loaded word in the food world but it implies they are serving authentic Mexican style Mexican food. Looking forward to trying their enchiladas. I would recommend that local Mexican food lovers give them a try and judge for yourself. If you don't like to visit the gay nightlife district, use Grab. Again, a nighttime place, open rather late, not for lunch,

Funny, social security is right on the ball sending me a deceptive POLITICAL PROPAGANDA email today (and I assume everyone else) about the so called big beautiful bill but can't manage to send out these critical forms in a timely manner. I agree -- they will probably come this month, but the last thing I want from a government agency is to be assaulted with partisan political propaganda.

Started on the UK Outrageous Series and I'm enjoying it very much. Set in the 1930's. Shades of today's USA. Outrageous (TV series) - Wikipedia "Dramatizing one of Britain's most controversial families with slick presentation and superb acting, Outrageous is an engaging glimpse into the corrosive lure of fascism."

Thanks. Well there it is. I was looking for that but for some reason didn't find it. Question asked. Question answered.

I agree that they have very good food but a bit expensive.

I have.

My current favorite combining delicious authentic flavors with competitive pricimg for the Pattaya market is Spirit of India. Particularly excellent biryani which is hard to find and also offering some southern regional dishes of Goa and Tamil Nadu in addition to the expected standards. Those who say good Indian food isn't available in Pattaya are clueless but it is true that there are many sub par places. https://www.spiritofindiapattaya.com/ Pattaya Klang 12 Alley Grab and Lineman From Restaurant Guru: Spirit Of India, Pattaya - Restaurant menu, prices and reviews

The holiday day is Thursday July 10 but I'm seeing a source saying the offices will be closed July 11 as well. That makes sense to create a long weekend. Bank holiday is the 10th. Again, not sure about the 11th. Can someone confirm details about this?

That is so stupid. Ukraine is fighting for its survival as a sovereign nation. Russia is fighting for Putin's revisionist history fantasy of restoring Russian empire. Ukraine targets military targets. Terrorist Russia targets civilians.

Biden wasn't trying to force Ukraine to surrender. Putin doesn’t want peace Toddlers know that.

No he can't.

Again not only about the baht. About the dollar against all currencies. The weak dollar policy was not broadcast loudly in the campaign. People aren't morons if they missed it. Lazy maybe. Tariffs on the other hand were massively publicized but with the big lie that foreigners would pay them rather than the truth that American consumers actually pay.

Actually I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of expat maga fans did NOT know they were voting for a weak dollar agenda!

Talking about against all currencies. The weak dollar policy in general. The escalation of the world dumpling the dollar as the reserve currency. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/15/devaluing-dollar-trump-trade-war-00152009

Recent report at Jomtien. New TM30 NOT required for stamp transfer or even retirement extension. However, new TM30 is needed for the next 90 day report which must be done in person supported by a new TM30. Likely varies office to office.

I reckon this is an issue mostly only for longer term expats. As I'm one of those and a condo owner that has a fair bit of space, I feel burdened by way too much clutter. It's mostly hidden inside covered storage areas so not shocking to visitors but within those it's really quite bad. You might know the feeling. You don't own the stuff. The stuff is owning you. You don't really know exactly what you even have (as there's so much of it). While not a candidate for a hoarders reality tv show, I'm aware I have a problem and so far have not found an efficient way to fix it. My internet algorithm feeds my new decluttering philosophies and plans every day, but so far none has really inspired me to the point where I think it would actually work for me. I have concluded that there is no one size fits all decluttering theory, and that most likely you need to develop one that works specifically for your situation. That said, I did see one that piqued my interest enough to consider trying it. Remove (to the trash, sale, or donation) 10 items every day. Like for a month and then see how it looks then. Maybe several months! Any item, big or small. No need to concentrate on a particular area. No grand strategy. Just find 10 items. Any items. Anywhere. It's still hard. Any declutter means you'll be tossing some things that you really will need later and will need to buy again. What's worked for you, if anything?

First things first. I don't believe that voters should vote only based on self interest. While that is an important factor, ideally responsible citizens should base their votes on much broader considerations. For example, I would be happy to personally pay more tax to support Ukraine to the level where they could actually win against Russia. But back to the topic -- U.S. expats and the Trump weak dollar policy. From a pure self interest policy, the vast majority of expats would benefit from stronger rather than a weaker dollar. Well the weak dollar policy is working. Weakest dollar globally since the early 1970's. Against the baht, it would hardly be shocking to see it go to 30 or even God forbid 25. Further economic shocks are more than possible now -- global recession, U.S. stagflation, global depression, bond market melt down, financial crises, etc. It was indeed a much more stable economic situation under President Biden and it's fair to conclude a President Harris would not have introduced the wild risks and instability that Trump has. So getting back the WEAK DOLLAR policy, maga fans -- did you realize before the election that was what you were voting for? If not, are you cool with it now? To me it's kind of funny. Make America great again with a weak dollar and instigating a more serious risk of a rapid degradation of the dollar as the global reserve currency (which has been the "secret sauce" of U.S. wealth for decades).

More Russian propaganda.

Putin's poodle strikes again.

Putin propaganda 100 percent. If Russia wins, Ukraine as a sovereign nation is over.
