CCTV Shows British Man Vandalising Pattaya Woman’s Home
Find him, make him pay for all the damage, lock him up in a Thai jail for a year, and then deport him! 😡

20 Foreigners Assault Thai Shop Owner in Phuket Dispute
Just another example of the four or five instances reported here each week of why I'LL NEVER GO TO PATTAYA! 😡,

British Man Fined for Cutting Off Pattaya Ambulance
I've gotten the opposite response from Thai drivers. When I'm driving on a two-lane road and see an ambulance with lights on in my rearview mirror, I put on my hazard lights, slow down, and pull of the road to the left as much as I can. This usually results in honking from the cars behind me as they speed past me. 🥺

Judges Doubt Govt. as Trump Just. Dept. Misleads & Dodges Orders
I can only say it's about time! 😡

US banks refuse Trump's business
Wonderful!

Will Trump's "war on facts" eventually catch up with him?
Yes..., at least I certainly hope so.

Is this a scam?
Yes, I've gotten messages like this before, and yes, I assume they are scams. If you want to be sure your account is safe, send me $1,000, and I'll secure it for you. 😄

What's the point talking to anyone with less than a genius IQ?
First of all, the vast majority of people don't qualify as a genius, nor should not be considered an idiot. So, the advice I'd give is: 1. Only talk to geniuses if you are very interested in the subject in which they are experts. 2. Don't talk to geniuses about general subjects unless you are one yourself.

Expat Health Insurance: Are Pre-Existing Conditions Covered
I'm not an expert in this area, but my understanding is they are not. However, that all depends on your required medical checkup and your contract.

Does anyone know how to Photoshop?
Strongly disagree. AI will, by its very nature, alter the faces in a picture, sometimes very slightly, sometimes completely. Photoshop, as long as you know how to use it, is the no.1 tool to use for any face swap. You can now use AI apps to create a photo, or even a video, using your own photo as one of the characters. You could just say or instruct it to do something like, "Create a photo with a man being given a shot by a doctor. Use the photo attached as the man getting the shot." Yes, you could create a photo using another one, like the ones above, and superimpose your face over the man getting the shot. Then you'd have to clean up the boundaries around the face. My recommendation is to try one of these new AI apps.

Spanish Shock: Muslim Festivals Banned from Public Places!
Yes, "one must be tolerant and treat everyone equally" is one of the tenets of the far left. That belief is, in fact, the very foundation of socialism, being woke, and DEI. I understand and do believe, as you do, that many Muslims are intolerant. Of course, so are many Jews and Christians. (I don't think this would apply to Buddhists... 😉 } So, again, all you are saying is that "we should be intolerant of intolerance." 😄 As I posted earlier, a typical, childish excuse for hitting someone is because "he hit me first!" 😞

Israel's security cabinet approves plan to take control of Gaza
Of course! This was the plan of the right-wing faction in Israel all along. They don't care anything about the hostages.

Spanish Shock: Muslim Festivals Banned from Public Places!
"Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories. Yes, if you only ban one or two religions, that's discrimination. If you ban ALL religions, then that is not discrimination. Just as if you prohibit women from voting, that is discrimination. If you prohibit ALL people from voting, that's not discrimination. You have to think more deeply about this before you accuse anyone of "derp." I suggest you Google "DEI" and read several articles about that.

Spanish Shock: Muslim Festivals Banned from Public Places!
Which part of Spain is in Saudi Arabia? This is often the excuse used by the right-wing: "He hit me first!" "It's okay for our Republican-majority state to gerrymander because the Democrats gerrymandered in their states." If hitting and gerrymandering are wrong, you shouldn't ever do it. If it's wrong for Saudi Arabia or any Muslim country to ban Catholic churches, then it's wrong for a predominantly Christian country to ban Muslim temples or events. I'm not a supporter of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, or any religion or their activities. I would not oppose a ban on ALL of them. But what I do not support is singling one or two out and banning them, but not the others. That's discrimination and is definitely not in accordance with DEI, which I consider the best approach to eliminating, or at least reducing, discrimination.

Does anyone know how to Photoshop?
I use Photoshop almost every day. However, if you want to CREATE a photo or change the face in a photo, I don't think Photoshop is the best app to use. There are plenty of AI-associated apps now that can do that.

Microsoft's Windows 11 rant - it's a con!
Both of my computers (tower and laptop) are running Win11. I've had no problems with it. But, you certainly could, especially on a new computer, remove Win11 and install Win10. I wouldn't recommend that, but it is definitely possible.

Spanish Shock: Muslim Festivals Banned from Public Places!
Well, Spain has the right to do this, but I categorize it as discrimination and oppose anything like this anywhere.

Danish Zoo Faces Backlash for Using Pets as Predator Feed
As long as the pets are being euthanized (killed) before they are given to the zoo carnivores for food, I have no problem with this. There's no difference in doing this and our (humans') eating meat from a dead (killed) animal. In fact, we (humans) even eat live animals, such as oysters.

Maxwell Clears Trump: DOJ Considers Releasing Interview
This does not surprise me at all. I assume Trump is guilty of pedophilia, but even if he isn't, that is not my main objection to him. My main objection is what he is doing to my home country, the USA. Of course, I have to acknowledge that he is supported by a plurality (not a majority) of my fellow citizens. This is the fact that is most disappointing to me. I assume they either have been duped by him or, worse yet, share his values. Either way, their support continues to erode my confidence in the USA. 😟

Israel to 'Fully Occupy' Gaza: Hostage Safety Concerns Rise
Another way out is for Israel to agree to a permanent ceasefire, the removal of all troops from Gaza, and starting talks on a two-state solution. All this would have to be enforced by third parties, but then I believe Hamas would release all the hostages.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s Staggering Demands for Congressional Testimony
And I will not support Trump even if it turns out he is NOT implicated in Epstein's sex crimes. My differences with him go much, much further than pedophilia or rape.

Lazada 7 day returns?
I don't know if there is an appeal process. I'd assume there is. I assume when you bought them, that this 7-day guarantee was listed. I've shopped at Lazada for many, many years, and only had to return one item - a pair of golf shoes that turned out to be too small. I received a full refund after I returned the shoes.

Maybe it's a stupid question but I know I will find the answer here
Although I'm not an expert in this area, for the travel you described above, I would assume anyone with a Thai passport would need a visa for all three countries. And they might have to have a multiple-entry visa for Switzerland.
