More scapegoating of minority groups by the vile maga fascist Trump regime. Navy set to rename USNS Harvey Milk, mulls new names for other ships named for civil rights leaders - CBS News www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-new-name-usns-harvey-milk-ships-named-for-civil-rights-leaders/ Harvey Milk for those who don't know was the martyred gay civil rights activist who was basically the Martin Luther King for American gay people. He was also a U.S. Navy Veteran who of course while serving had no choice but to be in the closet. Later he was the first OPENLY gay American to be elected to political office then murdered by a homophobic political rival who also murdered the San Francisco mayor. Truly a historic figure. This is basically telling gay Americans -- you aren't equal Americans, you aren't "real" Americans, the maga fascist movement is out to screw you and not in a good way. Done during Pride Month to add salt to the wound. Typical -- with maga cruelty and aggressive idiocy is the point.

US Passport renewal address in Thailand
Jingthing replied to Brn2Trvl's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
25 days is plenty of time to send and receive documents from the embassy to the state department and back. Embassies have special US mail protocols. Embassies don't produce passports except for emergency travel ones if you lose your passport only good for travel back to the US. -

I'm feeling that you and others are carrying ill will towards LGBTQ people. Can't just ignore topics like this if you aren't interested. Got to attack and insult. Sad. -

Hopefully Ukraine has more to "give" to the bridge project. -

Congratulations Thailand! This is great for their soft power branding. They definitely deserve a chance at hosting World Pride in future. Currently it's in Washington D.C. which given what's happened there, kind of doesn't deserve it. -

Russians love a strong man. They've never had democracy. Putin is looking weaker and weaker now. Uh oh for him! -
Did that. Now I've got my stash. Thanks again.

I thought it was fake news at first, but yeah it's always a tempting target. https://youtu.be/T6Amm5MmL2g -
I haven't been to the region in a very long time but before visited Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru, Uruguay very briefly, and Argentina. But I keep a watch on it. Overall as a generality yes crime is more of a concern in Latin America than Thailand. I would suggest not bothering with Costa Rica. It's gotten relatively very expensive for the region, crime is on the increase, and the food is among the most boring in the world. If looking for similar scenery probably Panama or parts of Colombia would be better. Didn't say purpose of the trip. If it's to scout out retirement and/or long term expat destinations the itinerary should be different than just for tourism. For example, if you're a foodie Peru is a big draw. I do have a very important tip. Research vaccine requirements between Latin American countries very carefully! I don't recall the details but I've seen a number of reports of people not knowing about yellow fever vaccine requirements and not being able to travel to their desired country. You can't just get it last minute. This is about BETWEEN nations there. You won't need it coming from Thailand to any country there. Or you could get the jab before going to the region and then no problem. However not really so safe for older people.

Russia doesn't want peace either. They want to completely control Ukraine. Their ideology can't imagine a Russia without Ukraine. To get Russia in line, you've got to flippin' BEAT them in this war.

Trump will do nothing to upset his poodle Putin. HOWEVEVER, more and more there is a good chance that the U.S. congress will pass a VETO PROOF bill of bone crushing sanctions on Russia (energy and finances, secondary on those dealing with Russia). Then he can tell his poodle -- it wasn't me, dear one.

Many locals know about this delivery ordering website for mostly American and Mexican food. Hotmeals2u.com - Food delivery - Pattaya - Order online www.hotmeals2u.com Well, they've had a "Taco Tuesdays" offer for dog's years offering Tex Mex style tacos. Personally I don't like them much but have always liked their "wet" burrito Supreme with steak (be sure to ask for ranchero sauce on the side to make it wet!) which is always on the menu. Well there's some good news about this. Now on Taco Tuesdays they've added a much more authentic Mexican style taco option. It's birria pork, served with two side spicy sauces, and also a container of typical Mexican add ons -- chopped onion, cilantro. Soft flour tortillas only option. Of course in Mexico it would be soft corn but still good. Dudes -- this is the real deal taste of Mexico -- I kid you not. It's 225 baht such a deal and I add a side of refried beans and pimp it up at home with Chipotle hot sauce and sliced avocados. Order it deconstructed. Posting this is a bit selfish. I want to make sure they keep it on the menu so if there's a good demand they likely will! Of course if you're looking for Tex Mex style, don't order the birria.
