My understanding is that the law allows a Thai marrying a foreigner but not two foreigners. I don't think immigration status matters for the foreigner but I don't know yet if foreigners can get marriage extensions based on same sex marriages.

That's true and also the guilt he will have to live with about that for the rest of his life. But get real. There was a running motor. Horseplay or not, it was negligent. Surely there must be a law in Thailand about negligence that leads to death.

At your service! Barron is really too tall for polite society. Given that he doesn't play basketball or work as an apple tree picker (many openings soon!) where his freakish height would be useful, is it possible for him to be shortened? Also, he never speaks in public. Is he mute? Does his voice sound like Peewee Herman? Is he the reincarnation of Harpo Marx? He can't stay silent forever!

As it stands he is charged with murder. Let them do an investigation particularly about the situation that was going on in the family, his past criminal history if any, etc. Don't jump to conclusions either way.

I feel much worse for his dead son. I'm sorry but he's guilty of something in this even if it was just horseplay.

They have communicated the situation with no ambiguity. I have detailed that and yes I have gotten followup detailed clarifications. They are claiming (believe it or not) the their information on issues like this is cleared with Thai revenue. It's not as if I like the information but I tend to find them as a source more credible than your theorizing. Another thing which I think adds credibility to that firm is they are definitely NOT get a TIN or everyone must file pushers! They very clearly give information on cases where you should NOT get a TIN, and not file. Such as only remitting exempt income, etc.

Some might remember the SHA XIAN SNACKS type of casual Chinese restaurant which was thriving on 2nd road north of Klang until Covid hit which clearly led to its untimely demise. In case you don't know SHA XIAN SNACKS is a sort of anarchic international chain out of China of course, presumably with many copy cats. It's known for lower cost, casual, everyday dishes focusing on their regional style. They have never presented as selling gourmet level food. Anyway I did like the old place. I found a new place doing this style of food also on 2nd road, but this time a short distance north of Pattaya Tai on the away from the beach side. Can't say that the sign has a name but if you find a small Chinese restaurant at the described location, that's the place. This place in no way imaginable caters to non-Chinese speakers. Rather I felt I was being actively DISCOURAGED. The menu is in Chinese and the staff had almost no patience as I was trying to google translate their menu. Just standing there looking annoyed. Such behavior doesn't deter me, but eventually i was offered a smart phone with pictures of food but also no English and I didn't like that because I didn't want to accidentally order a dish of stir fried anuses or some such delicacy. Possible the most popular dish from this not really a chain are the peanut butter dishes, noodles or dumplings. But coincidentally I had had a similar dish for lunch and didn't want that for dinner. I presume that they would have it. Eventually I figured out the places was a sort of SHA XIAN SNACKS type of place and I got confirmation of that as well. So then I just found a random online menu of another similar menu place with English and quickly found a few things to order showing the Chinese part. It wasn't an ideal order as I was rushed, but I was a little surprised that the food was quite good. Why? Because this time and a prior time I had stopped in to inquire the place had ZERO customers! The old place was always packed mostly with Chinese people but that place was much more accessible to non-Chinese. So I got beef noodle soup and wontons with seaweed soup even though I didn't realize the wonton dish was going to also be a soup. Total cost with water about 270. By the end of my meal as I had not once complained about anything and happily enjoyed the food, I felt the staff had warmed up to me/ I enjoyed both dishes enough to want to go back and try to order better next time. I think I can do that because now I have a way that will probably help with that, which I'm sharing now. Here is a typical SHA XIAN SNACKS menu with English and Chinese. Have a look BEFORE you go.

Closed. No but I'm looking forward to trying the soon to be opened Buenos restaurant in Jomtien Complex which is promoting as being "authentic" and looking a a picture of their decor at least LOOKS like it will be.

Penniless, I doubt it. but I think it's obvious she does much better remaining "married" on paper and showing up based on her contract to very occasional official events. They do have a lot in common in the transactional department. A more interesting question would be what she would have done if he had been thrown in prison where he belongs.

Not worth a separate topic but as it's related to appearances of Trump related people, I have looked into this and consider it highly doubtful that J.D. Vance is uses eyeliner although he really looks like he does.

Of course you did. Trump is president now. Duh.

So now you're trying to turn this into some kind of perverted pro Kremlin propaganda?

Yes you did. The topic has nothing to do with Biden.

Maybe he didn't know that anyone was watching when he pushed his son overboard. I do think he has a defense to claim he was playing a fun game by doing that, but even if not ruled murder, surely he should be convicted of some lesser charge than that. A pure "accident" would have been accidentally falling overboard, not being pushed. A good lawyer should be able to get the charge down from murder unless there is other evidence uncovered pointing to dark intensions.

Fear mongering.

Your autocrat won. You can stop the smear campaigning now. Now you lot have to govern. Trouble is -- they're total crap at that part.

Only he knows his intention. For example jumping in after him could be the act of a regretful loving father or it could be a way to make a murder look like an accident. I don't know and neither do you. In any case he needs a good lawyer. He'll have a better chance here at justice than he would back in Russia.

The thing about Trump is that loyalty is a one way street to him. He does whatever benefits him at the moment. He has no problem throwing anyone under the bus at any time. Including people who been loyal to him for decades. Russia thought they had "their" Trump in the bag. But if it helps Trump to throw Russia under the bus more than throwing Ukraine under the bus, that's what he's gonna do. Not predicting how this is ultimately is going to turn out, but as far as Trump's behavior, it's not really hard to read that.

Were the allies which included the USSR who fought against Nazi Germany war mongers?

A lot of layers here. I realize that you enthusiastically supported Trump. Yes, Trump calls himself a Christian. He's obviously not a serious one based on his behavior. His cult accepts him as a Christian. In fact, his cult now holds him up as some kind of God King Jesus figure who is sacrificing himself to save America. The bleeding ear incident has been made into a religious myth even though there is actually no evidence that he was actually shot in the ear. Of course there is no evidence that Jesus was literally born again, so such facts are not important to religious belief systems. Trump is milking this religious myth about himself which makes his authoritarian movement even more insane and dangerous that it already was. As far as what Trump believes himself, I reckon he's not in the slightest bit religious. Posing with the Christian stuff is strictly TRANSACTIONAL like everything else in his criminally corrupt lying life. Can the USA save the world? Of course not whatever that means, but I do think a most powerful USA and west has been and would be better for the world than a most powerful axis of autocracy (Russia, China, Iran, etc.). He attended the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. at special interfaith and ecumenical service. Of course, the U.S. doesn't have a state religion so the concept of a National Cathedral is a bit weird, but practically necessary for historical events that involve presidents and such. Have you been? It's a lovely place with lovely grounds. As far as clergy staying out of politics, are you having a laugh?!? Did you see the disgusting totally partisan speech by Reverend Graham at the inauguration? A Christian clergy asking for mercy and compassion is not political really. It's voicing an authentic Christian message.

A minor update regarding an issue I've been very interested in -- the taxation of IRA accounts and 401K by Thailand. expattaxthailand has been crystal clear about this though some members are saying something wildly different than this: Those are seen as private pensions. Disbursements are fully accessable if remitted to Thailand as a Thai tax resident Balance of such accounts on December 31, 2023 completely irrelevant. Accounting for disbursements on a cost basis profit analysis of specific holdings as you would for a non retirement investment account is NOT a thing. What is my the minor update I speak of? An assertion that the information they give is all run by the revenue department for confirmation of accuracy. Take it or leave it. Hoping it isn't like that doesn't cut it.

No it isn't. There are many cases where there is no requirement to file. He said you must file every regardless. WRONG. Also there is no indication whatsoever that immigration will get involved in this.

Yeah most of his voters couldn't locate Ukraine or even Russia on a map to save their lives. They're so clueless that they think Trump can or will lower food prices by taking actions that will do the exact opposite. But personally I do care very much about that war and I think it's outcome is incredibly important internationally.

I was talking about Trump, Einstein.

Rug munching?
