South America stole our name! I love it.

That is BS. Many of the younger ones want to move to the west. Millions have left Russia. Compare to about 5000 western fascists who have moved to Russia.

Yeah like Iran.

Bull crap.

You sure? Anyway I hadn't realized before that he's a Philly boy. Noam Chomsky's wife says reports of famed linguist's death are false - ABC News (go.com)

In Pattaya anyway, there are Russians everywhere. Sometimes I find myself in close quarters with Russians that I am curious about. I'm generally not curious about those that give the appearance of typical going along with the war Z types usually older, big families who are obviously just on holiday from Siberia, etc. The ones that pique my interest are more military age men sometimes with friends or partners. sometimes looking possibly countercultural. I assume most speak some English. But how to break the ice? How's the war treating you somehow seems too abrubt. Any ideas or experiences with this? Well here's one guy who's approachable!

Dude you're tripping.

Yes I'm not predicting anything will be done by the west towards Thailand but I am suggesting it's possible. One example, let's say genocidal fascist dictator Putin using a tactical nuke in Ukraine. Not likely? Hopefully not! But he threatens to do stuff like that very often. So how does the west respond? An escalation leading to global nuclear winter or something less? Something less could include going after any entity that is helping Putin's war efforts anywhere in the world. That could include some entities in Thailand. My POV may be different than some. I see the world as already positioned for World War 3 whether it literally comes to be more real or not, hopefully not. It's already plenty real in Ukrains and if the west caves it will soon become plenty real in Taiwan, Africa, and South America. That means the sides taking form. We've got the west, the dictatorships axis (Russia, China. Iran. NK, Nicaragua, Venezuela, etc.), the truly neutral, and the fake neutrals. It's my opinion Thailand is a fake neutral not that they super support Putin but that they support making money out of Russia and thus are helping the Russian war effort. Similar position to Brazil, South Africa, India, and UAE.

Honey child, can't you just ignore it?

Uh oh. I'm not sure I can afford to live in such a premier place. Oh well, there's always rural Mississippi.

Heck yeah.

Or lesbian bed death. (It's a thing.)

Mincing about? Haters gonna hate.

Just had a 600 baht cashless order canceled saying they couldn't authorize card. Good news this time they did charge my bank but later automatically reversed it. I want to use cashless because I pay for a plan that gives me free delivery but not for cash orders.

Already available. As a rough generality lower than straight marriages but male male marriages much more stable than female female. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce_of_same-sex_couples

I think you're projecting and if they don’t want to see it they can simply and easily walk away.

You're right not everyone is ignorant and nasty but it's more than a few.

I agree. They will love it. Something free and festive that they don't have back home. Why travel if things aren't different?

How so? The immigration law implications if any of Thailand marriage equality are as far as I know completely unknown.

So do you actually believe that being a transgender person is such a trivial matter?

Yes they are obviously very different. Yes I agree there is a good chance other Asean nations like Cambodia and Vietnam may eventually follow Thailand's leadership but never all of them.

You were. This won't ever happen in Malaysia.

Some people can't just congratulate a long overdue expansion of civil rights in Thailand but instead are obsessing about imaginary slights to themselves while stewing in a toxic bath of acidic resentment. Predictable but disgusting.

No. Don't be daft.

As far as I know there has been no news about how this effects immigration matters if at all.
