Jingthing replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Truly a classic gem of Mexican cinema. Not only highly entertaining but also gives real insight into Mexican culture -

I think Biden probably got played as I doubt the Saudis will say yes to his oil request. -
Worried about return to Thailand
Jingthing replied to Robin's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
While I agree that pursuing a visa conversion in Thailand is a perfectly reasonable thing to do and what I suggest, I will reiterate that approval of such applications is not guaranteed. They have discretion to turn down any applications In the case of conversions where proof of money import is required that part could be a potential deal breaker for some. In other words do your research, then proceed with confidence, but never get too cocky. -

He came for practical advice on his visa concerns and his very clear desire to avoid insurance. You deliver off topic, unhelpful, rather obsessive preaching. So tedious! If Thai immigration stops doing conversions in country, then we will know about it. That time is not upon us. Cheerio. -

There was such a specific request but I understand that those suffering from terminal literalism could be blind to it. -
This makes this proposed bump look like a drop in the bucket. The part about SS recipients losing 40 percent of their buying power over the last 22 years because COLAs don't actually keep up with inflation! Put that in your boomer bong and smoke it. https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/07/16/ugly-secret-huge-social-security-increase-on-way/ Here's the Ugly Secret About the Huge Social Security Increase on the Way

Very very dark but so far very very good. I wasn't sure during the first episode but after watching the second I'm totally hooked So be a little patient. This is a Korean tv series. There is also movie with the same name. -

It recently got much harder. The current partisan political Supreme Court is off the rails -

One case makes no difference to the bigger picture. The GOP most certainly is the Forced Births party Period. Their radicals are working hard right now to restrict interstate travel for all pregnant females, to make fetuses legally persons, and indeed to ban all abortions in all 50 states. -

Much better to not do so as per his very specific request about avoiding the insurance requirement. -
And why wouldn't they? Thailand is out Amsterdamning Amsterdam with better weather and better food.

Yeah, we knew that. The USA "health care" system is atrocious. Rating poorly by WHO and deservedly so. Of course if you're very rich you fly in there for the best specialists anywhere, but what percentage of people are like that? Most expensive in the world, very poor access for huge percentage of the population, greedy corporate big pharma and big hospital etc., mediocre health outcomes. Many doctors go into the field more motivated like hedge fund managers than healers, or they quickly become that way to pay back loans. Of course, of course, there is also poor behavior of the people around diet, nutrition, and exercise, etc. A perfect storm of horribleness.

I agree. This is the best thing for Thailand branding since sliced rice. Keep it up. Don't stop. Same sex marriage next? Also I think the government should try to stimulate the film industry to create some products targeted more internationally than domestically (maybe even two versions of the same movies). Look what Korea did. There is a lot of talent here.

People that don't know Pattaya may not know that they are called baht buses here.

Yep. The American Taliban. Very unpopular but very much in control. Not a free country and just barely a democracy. -

The best response to such pervs is to point and laugh. -

It isn't NOW and no announcements about it so your arguably fear mongering "prediction" doesn't fit here. -

The radical far right wing extremists of the Forced Birth republican party are beginning to sow the seeds of their authoritarian backwards barbarity. It won't play well.
